(Spoilers) Churchill's Old General Death

[Miguelito]

Over here, a copper-copper deal usually means that one does not intend to attack the other guy. But it's not a binding agreement like the non-aggression-pacts that were common in many PBs played with "full diplo". So never rely on them forever...

That's what fish/fish is for

The really fun misunderstandings however happen when players start sending code messages in gold numbers and health resources,  like "attack three banana city in 4 turns". In fact, it was discussed if this should be banned, but decided against because those messages were almost never understood as intended anyways .
Recent mod versions offer "True AI diplo", where you have all the options from SP, most importantly "Declare war on...", but I believe even defensive pacts?

[Charriu]

Yes all the options.

Going to make this as painful as possible. 2t from whipping walls into the capital... maybe? probably wont until i see him complete Construction. MORE ARCHERS/SPEARS.



Will i make more archers than my first PB here? Stay tuned!

[superdeath]

Here's your dose of realistic vs even... Slightly balanced.





So. Out of all these starts. What one would YOU want to play?

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Coco's looks great with those rivers, but yours doesn't seem worse than JD's with all of those wasted peak tiles.

[superdeath]

True, but JD had ya know.... PACAL. So he can work with basically any start imo.

[superdeath]

So my gameplan since Coco cant take my cities, and can only pillage the countryside... i was going to TRY and kill 2 HA's. Figured i had a better than 50% shot at killing both, and a 90% shot at killing 1. So lets walk thru the results.



My first spear vs axe is ok. I would have LOVED more hits, but its whatever. I fully expected this spear to do this amount of damage. The next fight the spear does get in 2 hits, but i was of course hopeful for more. Probably an average result thus far..

The next fight, is 21.6% of winning. So now im starting to feel like well, it will either WIN or hurt it enough that it will stop defending these damn HA's... Gets 1 hit in.


THE NEXT SPEAR.  49.1% chance. and at this point this axe has reached pb49 Elkad spear levels of stupid ( at least in my eyes, of course RNG/averages im sure its perfectly normal )  Beats my spear while only taking 1 hit.

OK. That stings, but at least it isnt the top defender. So, lets look at the HA fight. 77.9% chance for my c1 spear to kill his HA.





Yep. 

[El Grillo]

I have no idea how you managed to break that link so badly but I vote you keep it as is

Fixed

If you dont enjoy my constant bitching about RNG, dont read any further.


Lost another city last turn. Here are the combat results.



First HA vs my defending archer. Decent results for me. 2nd fight he gets a withdraw, bad luck for me.



He wins a 32% fight taking only 3hits. ( obviously probable and rather likely by itself, but considering ALL his other combat wins....   )

55% fight, Flawless victory for him. Yes, because he needed that Flawless victory.



And then 86% fight that he only takes 1 hit on.


Can... Can i kill some units please?
