RBP3 [SPOILERS] - Friendly Kittens (Ragnar of Maya)

Hmmm. Is it okay to move Azrael the axe onto the (Blue Dot's) gold tile? This should not affect barb spawning. (Uh. Not true. This should REDUCE barb spawning - not a trade-off, just pure reduction).

Pfft, people are going to wonder wtf is going on. We're posting this thread more in an hour than usually in a week lol. If you're absolutely sure that won't allow (cards win, cards win~) any barb spawn areas, then yeah, move him. I moved him last turn because where he's at now didn't allow any new areas. Actually, there may not be a legal barb spawn down there because of aztec boarders.

I can chat if you prefer.

[Maniac Marshall]

We could, or we could just show everyone the inane levels we go to planning a turn for once lol.

EDIT: I don't even have an email open on this computer. I'm on the desktop for a change and didnt bother to open one after restart. Hold on.

OK, regarding the settling arrangement, I think we let Carthage talk to us and see what they suggest is fair. While I love that site above Kilrah, it's not THAT much closer to us that we can say it HAS to be ours, and we have other sites with river tiles. I think we let them have it or "junk dot", which isn't THAT much worse, but not both. It does have a cow at least, and 3 river grass. OK, It's worse, but still.

We're in agreement that trying to poach the pigs is an act of war. We'll try to talk to them sunday.

[Maniac Marshall]

There is an error in your microplan.

Kilrah grows to size 5, completes Hindu Missionary, builds forge, works pig+rice+mine+wine+farm.

On turn 109, Kilrah did NOT grow. It's 3 food short of growth. I dono what to do about that. My assumption was that the tile not to work would be the wines. I'll have to let you sort it out I guess.

EDIT: I took the worker off the grass farm and put it on the wines for now, figuring that that's how the research jumped a turn and... yeah, it was. So currently the farm is not being worked. Again, you'll have to sort this out. I dono where your sandbox got off from the game, so I dono how to fix it.

Moar Editz: OK, I think you just hallucinated the entire growth thing this turn. You don't have it growing again in your microplan till turn 112, so I THINK this is what happens.

T109 - Works Pigs, Mine, Wines, Rice 25/28 food +7 Food this turn Not TOTALLY sure, however, so please fix if this isn't the right 4 tiles.

T110 - Grows to size 5, works, Pigs, Mine, Wines, Rice, Farm (4 food caryover + grainery means) 14 + 4 = 18/30 food + 8 food

T111 - Works, Pigs, Mine, Wines, Rice, Farm 26/30 food + 8 food

T112 - Your microplan says it grows to size 6 (would have 4 food caryover + grainery so) 15 + 4 = 19/32 food + 9 food

etc.

We made a major error in military movement last turn, and unfortunately I did not catch it until the turn had rolled. Lucifer, the axe in PR should have been moved along the road towards the cap in case our chariot manages to lose to the axe. Now We'll have to send Jalthi, the injured sentry chariot up that way to attack it accross a river in the event the RNG screws us, or let the silver get pillaged. Thank god we'll have maces in a couple turns (I hope, I haven't looked at the micro plan) because we're REALLY thin on military right now.

Edit: Also, there is a chance we might lose Prrsha. She moved right next to a barb warrior. However, she is CI, WI, in a woods, so odds are low of her losing.

[Maniac Marshall]

Well, looks like you get plenty of time to work out what tile we're supposed to work since the game is aparently down till Monday.

I'm really, really tempted to screw up your microplan by asking for another chariot, but no, I'll hold on for a knight instead. He'll have more attack on the axes anyhow.

The real question is: Do we wan't anymore cheap units. We're trying to connect the iron asap. Once it's connected, we can't build anymore archers. (But we can build some of those yummy xbows!, which I'd rather have than longbows). Also in 5 turns, we'll no longer be able to build Holkans (which I assume is why we're spamming them out now, which is fine.)

For units going forward, my preference would be we stop after 2-3 maces... we're not planning to attack anyone anyhow unless Carthage is off their rocker! Build build some crossbows (2-4) and Knights until we can build muskets.

Settlement order: Assuming we let Carthage have Red dot, I think Blue, Orange, the silks/wheat, Green if it's still there, Iron city, Violet (I think, the city over between us and Krill), Savannah, and then Junk dot in that order.

That would give us 14 cities, mostly good ones, peacefully, which i think is pretty dang good. If we lose Green and Violet, the two sites that would be at risk, that's still 12.

We need to start thinking about what we're going to do once the land runs out...
