Pitboss 18 Lurker Thread of Infinite Wisdom

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 111

Yuri captures a city from AutomatedTeller, with the aid of his ~10 Horse Archer stack.

Furungy has an all-Chariot stack on dazedroyalty's borders. dazedroyalty has pretty light defences, but the Archers should be enough to stop any further Chariot advance.

MYKI founds another city over on dazedroyalty's peninsula. Wonder how many turns this one's going to last.

Boldly Going Nowhere is - as far as I can tell - the first in the game to revolt to Bureaucracy.

Caledorn declares war on Q, presumably to pass through as I don't see any stack of units.

The Black Sword gets a research bonus event.

Ruff_Hi gets a food bonus event.

Dtay seems to be getting knights pretty fast. Even though Krill has been confident and talking about engineering bulbs, I suspect Dtay might be too fast. It's less than 10T until Dtay has knights whereas Krovice don't even have construction yet. It's going to be a great show !

[Ceiliazul]

I feel like Krill and Novice have enough pop to ensure a slog even with classical units. Dtay needs 10t to tech, then 10t to build and stage... it will be close!

However, dtay doesnt have another logical target. Whosit would stretch his borders too far around krovice. No navy means an attack on Pin would require planning right now to pull off. If dtay can roll Krovice, or even cripple him, the continent is his...

So are there any lurkers out there who want a shot at playing an unfamiliar civ's turn in two minutes and fourty-six seconds?

[NobleHelium]

I went one better and posted in the lurker thread... No idea what preceded my post, I meant to post here. Just asked if anybody wanted to play Zanths turn.

I knew it. novice was Sulla all along.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 112

xenu declares war on wetbandit and razes a city. I think that's four cities wetbandit has had razed shortly after founding them now... he should probably get the hint to bring more defenders along.

dazed looks set to recapture Jah Keved, with two Spears and an Axe against five Chariots. Meanwhile Furungy advances on Urithiru with another stack to the south, though it doesn't look like enough to make a dent.

WilliamLP makes peace with MYKI, keeping the city he took.

A better look at Yuri's Horse Archer stack on AutomatedTeller's border.

AutomatedTeller founds an extremely optimistic city in the north which I'd guess will be lucky to survive 10 turns.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 113

Boldly Going Nowhere builds the Great Library.

Krovice completes the quest of Horse Whispering. (Build Stables for reward related to mounted units, as I recall.)

GermanJojo razes one of Bacchus' coastal cities.

dazedroyalty finally brings in some serious defence. Furungy's not going to be making any more headway here.

Finharry begins a Golden Age.

Yuri's Horse Archer stack has been somewhat diminished by AutomatedTeller.

[NobleHelium]

Does everyone get the same quest completion message even if they haven't met the civilization?

[Lord Parkin]

Not sure, will check next time I log in for someone who hasn't got contact with Krovice (maybe Barry). Been a long time since I've played a pitboss with events on, so I actually can't remember.

[NobleHelium]

Seems like you don't get any message other than that you failed the quest, judging by pindicator's screenshot.
