You know, Commodore, I want to make a joke about your inadequate performance here. Really I do.
But...an extra casualty or two due to suboptimal attack order is a small detail compared to the overall strategic decision, which resulted in owning a new city, killing off Sian's galleys, and being able to defeat his Pedro-remnants in detail.
My main curiosity is what sort of impact this will have in the greater war? Has this attack caused Sian to crumble, or do we still have a slog ahead of us?

If I'm not mistaken, automating a worker or using the explore function make hut luck/combat luck change (i.e. changes the random number).

Congrats guys, the save moved. You really should put the tracker link on the first post of the tech thread.

Huh, maybe that's it. I'd assumed it was OS independent.
Guys, I'm not saying I attacked in a better order than Commodore. I simply got better random numbers (or maybe worse, it's difficult to judge the exact value of the outcome). The first battle was the identical but the second battle I got an extra hit against the archer, and the changes cascaded from there.

Good timing, was just going to grab it. 
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Meh, so sorry.  You can take the next one or two, by all means. Or three, for the glory of another city capture if you'd like. I'll report tomorrow morning, tired tonight. Upshot: He'll be mad, bro.

No big deal, don't feel the need to hold on account of me. Just keep me posted.
For the lurkers, I chatted with Commodore a bit and it appears the RNG is in love with us. We captured another city and spawned a GG. So good stuff there.

Commodore, is it morning for you yet? I'm hungry for details!

I'm assuming this is Calvin and Hobbes, so now Sian is down to his mainland cities?
