[spoilers] Lost in threads, Bacchus looks for a way out

[Commodore]

Is there a problem reloading to your save?

[Bacchus]

Shouldn't be, really.

[Bacchus]

The revised turn was much less exciting -- Yuri accepted peace.

Built my overseas Arctic city with two first-ring crabs, but demos are still at 10-9-10, for all the lovely intercontinental commerce. Also, looks like I will grab 'GermanJojo's' marble, much like he grabbed 'my' stone.

Turn 97

Selected an Immortal in the capital since you seem to be going for military at the moment. Moved the Settler north; I presume it's heading to settle somewhere around the Silver, this was my best guess at a position that would not lose you a move next turn whatever you're planning.

A couple of Workers moved to chop forests where they came up for options.

If I don't manage to log in, the empire should be switching a little towards markets. The Settler in Susa should be whipped, if it takes 2 or less pop and the city should continue with Market. In the northern part, Pasargadae should continue with HA, I think one should have completed this turn. Of the border cities, one should continue with the lighthouse, the other should go to Market. Worker priorities in the north are the newly built silver city (a total of three workers should be servicing that, two are already in place), and mines for Pasargadae. In the south, Workers should continue cottaging and chopping the eastern cities.

Turn 102

Followed instructions. Whipped Settler in Susa for 2 pop, set Market after it finished. Pasargadae finished its Horse Archer and started a Market. Ecbatana came up for build orders - presume that was the border city you were referring to, set it to Market. No Workers came up for orders this turn, all were completing tasks you'd previously set.

Cheers..

[Bacchus]

Sorry to have to bother you with this, LP.

Here goes:

The Coast pop in Tarsus should be working the grass mine.

Pasargadae should continue building Horse Archers, it's a military city.

The Horse Archer from Pasargadae should go to Ecbatana.

The Worker from Susa should go to Pasaargadae to build a grass forest hill mine.

Research should be set to Meditation at 100%

Settler should settle 1E of Crab.

Workers around Sardis should chop into Sardis.

Immortal in the North should return to Dariush Kabir via Silver. The island city should switch to WB 1 turn before growth, so it can whip it immediately after.

Workers around Bactra once they finish their stuff should go to improve the western deer (plains hill).

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 103

Followed instructions except two Workers which were not yet done with their tasks. Two other Workers came up for orders - moved the one at the capital to a forest to chop, the one at Dariush Kabir to the Deer.

First Crab hooked up at the island city. Research to 100% on Meditation.

Three turns enforced peace remaining with Yuri. Might want to send a couple of Immortals up to Dariush Kabir to defend against that roaming Axe when the peace expires?

Yuri brought a stack of 8 Horse Archers to the south. I don't have much choice but counter-attack in the north. This pretty much takes both of us out of the game. In the south, I will have 2 spears in each city he can attack, as well as some junk. He'll make some gains, but not without cost, his mfg is less than mine, our armies are of an equal size. All in all, it's a disaster, but I get his motivation.

PS Actually, I don't. Look at this, why would you pick a fight an tech parity with this economic position?




Out of desperation, perhaps.
