[NO PLAYERS] Squaring the Circle of Sevens (For Nine) - Map and Lurker Thread

[El Grillo]

Is this the RTR Boudica game we've all been waiting for? Cornflakes got caught off guard and is losing his front city as a result (flatland, ugh), but I think that he shouldn't lose much more territory if he keeps his wits and realizes that FT is occupied with chewing on Elkad and isn't likely to pile on.

I'm impressed at Comm's strategic sense to attack the player at the top of the scoreboard. Now the top three players are all gonna be staring daggers at each other. Feels like it's still an undecided game. Fascinating.

Wait, Elkad was eliminated that quickly? Wow, I terribly misjudged that (and FT presumably got reasonable combat RNG this time). So yikes, that makes Cornflake's new holdings in that area a lot more tenuous.

I would say FT deserved better RNG at this point

[Hollybombay]

Ooof, reading Ruff's recent post. Apparently he hasnt read the gamelog that would show that Commodore ( or "someone else in the distant lands" ) has completed the Horse Whisperer quest. Thats going to feel bad.

Once the cats came, no stopping it.  Hell, I should have been dead a long time ago.
And yeah, it was a completely routine attack.  Couple cats lost, nothing else.  So 15HA and the rest are free to do whatever.

I have a feeling 'do whatever' is going to be 'eat Superdeath & get pyramids'.......

Poor Miguelito, when it rains it pours.

I would assume Commodore would just take that 1 city? Even with that 1 it seems like he should have waited for Mr Cairo to move in and then backstab Mr Cairo.

[naufragar]

Adding to the list of map gripes, Cairo has a TON of safe backlines. He only has a land connection in one direction, towards you - no wonder he attacked. You're literally the only direction he has to worry about! Meanwhile you had neighbors on all directions.

I must be confused about the definition of backlines. It seemed like Cairo had none and had to expand to have any scrap of land. He only had one front, sure, but if he didn't expand down and into either Comm or Miguelito he was doomed.
