RB Pitboss #1 Spoiler -- Zara of the Holy Roman Empire

[Rowain]

I would like to add that you also succeeded in making a good showing

[Broker33]

Well I have been quietly building in my corner of the world sending emails to Dler to join (or die) but I was nicer in the wording.

He seems to have chosen the latter.

I have a 50 plust unit stack moving towards him and Munro is feeding me some extra troops. I had to move a couple turns before I was ready since he is moving his catapharacts towards dsp so I need to get his attention.

I believe my full stack once some units catch up will be

25 rifles
8 cav
3 cannon
3 we
6 or 7 mgs one is combat 3 that will be useful
4 cannon
12 cats
1 ha
1 gg medic ha

I will do pictures and all tommorow night.

Also will give full troop details now

Really the whole vassel thing works out for me. I get to kill dler and not have to explain myself to the greater alliance Plan is to cut through his center. Take the city he rebuilt on my border, move to glys something or other and hope he makes stand there and burns his cannon on my mg in the woods. Then to cream of tartar and swing north for clean up. There is one city to the south that I may split the cav off to take.

Well I have been promising for awhile so now I will finally come through. Pictures lots of pictures.

First I will do a run down of my cities. This helps me as it forces me to look at things and sometimes I see a change that needs to be made. As always suggestions and comments are welcome

Customs:

Since the war with Dler is going so well (more on that later) I decided to build the long overdue grocer. As you can see at 100% science I am only at -134 gold even with troops outside my border. Alot of the reason for that is Rathas spam and the shrine. I have a worker RRing all the hills for the extra hammer also.



Stock:

Decent city going to rr the hills here also and build some infra since I dont need more troops after this cycle yet.



Horse

Hybred city that has been mostly on production. Going to build infra and finally switch over to commerce functions while it grows. RR's on the hills here also



Real Estate

My main research city. Building oxford may do some whip overflow tricks to speed it up. Also trading my latest profit to Dsp for a scientist to put an academy here. Noticed it dosent have a forge that will go in after Oxford.



Bonds:

Slow growing production city going back to infra and rr the hills here also. May build some banks just to open wall street in the capital.



Rock

Just building stuff here going to let it grow finally. Been drafting it alot.



Farm

Building NP and will be perserving all those forest when workers come back from rr duty. Was 2 pop whipping missionarys for overflow to build NE may do the same after it grows abit.



Pawn

Glad I got this city it has served me well. Also poped uranium next to it Going to let it grow now since Dler is going away and it wont be the border city anymore (more on that later)



Sheep

Nifty little hybred city.



Ok time for a break

[Broker33]

Part two of my cities. I think I have 19 so this takes awhile

Cottage

I have chopped drafted and whiped the crap out of this city. Oil there will stay cottaged dont need it Although may need the hammers (going to think about that one) Anyway going to leave it alone to grow for a bit.



Ship

Building globe here too late but it is a decent production whipping drafting city.



Game

Crappy tundra city. Wondering if i should lumbermill that grassland forest or chop it. Not a whole lot here.



Marble

Little less crappy tundra city



Deer

Another Craptastic tundra city.



Fur

Another tundra city. Not horrible but never gonna be great.



Urumki

The Christian Holy city. Will eventually spread religon and build shrine just not there yet.



Scrap

I threw this one down behind Urumki it is new but willl make a decent production site.



Seafood

Decent little tundra fishing village with iron. Not bad at all although it is brand new.



Aachen (need to change that)

New filler city should be decent nothing special though.



That is it for my cities. Next up Dlers cities.

[Broker33]

Aparrently war pictures are first. Here is the site of the razed city (2nd time) and my troops in the area. The troop list is for the stack nw of the ruins. I wont cut and past just show multiple pictures. 2nd pic is the mounted stacks units. 3rd pick is the MG stack behind mounted units.

First battle was held here. Dler had 6 rifles cg1 and 3 cannon in that city. Also a rifle o the wooded tile where main troops are and the grassland tile 1 north of them.

I bombarded down the 20% culture. Sent in 3 cr2 cats and then 2 rifles at 50% odds both lost. Then cav cleaned up and the GG got a kill for his 26th xp.

I then sent 1 cave to the clearing dont remember the odds but killed the rifle and then another cav to kill the rifle in the woods he won at 26%

Then I advanced troops and let the mounted stop to heal with gg.

[Broker33]

Some shots of Dler's land showing how woefully undefended he is.

[Broker33]

Ok on to Dlers cities. Note he is in Strike status

Boost is th most heavily defended. And I promised this one to Munro.



Replant of his capital. Guess I will keep it



Constant 1 tile of the coast ??? maybe burn and move ne




Relativity keeper with the wonder



Cream of Tartar probably keep.



Glyco my next target actually may send a force here and to new bradbury and to squeeze.



Squeeze



I am missing pics of a couple of his cities ah well next time but you get the general idea

[Broker33]

For those of you wondering where all Dlers troops are this is it. Top picture is Dler forces bottom is Dsp.

Cream of Tartar is in the eastern half of the picture.

[Broker33]

would of thought there would have been some comments. Is there something else you guys are looking for? Or are you just no longer watching?

[Cyneheard]

Sorry, it's hard for many of us to watch closely with RBPB3 up now, and having to play & plan with that. Thanks for the update, this was really nice, hopefully the NP city will be online soon enough to make a big difference. Frankly, it's hard to comment when you lay out your civ's situation so well, there's not much to add!
And the war looks like it's proceeding quite well for you. Nice job getting Dler into strike mode with a limited army (or so it seems from your pictures).
