[SPOILERS] Wang Kon of Arabia (Adlain & ManiaMuse)

[Gold Ergo Sum]

First six.

[Adlain]

OK, i played and ended my turn in the first 6 last turn, WK played after me, now i have played, Declared war, attacked (Auto razed Zion and captured workers) and finished turn in the first 6 of this turn and WK has yet to play.

iirc this is correct according to the rules.

How's it going?

[Adlain]

In all honestly I have well and truly smeged this game up for myself - Don't get me wrong, im going to try and fix this as best I can but the Demographics don't lie that much and I am well short of what is needed - hell im surprised no-one has taken me out yet in truth.

but I am still alive and I aim to keep it that way, so next up is some mass Expansion into my lands - I am quite spread out so I will be over the next day or so see if I can get a Dot map together and squeeze out some decent sites that can help me with my aim - Doubling my City Count. I need more cities, I have alot of wasted land and I aim to correct that - coupled to this I am going to go over my Builds in each city and see what I realisticly need in each one. tbh i have been a little slapdash and that needs to change. badly.

I have no hopes of wining this - I am far too far behind and far too late in the game for that, but I hope that over the next few weeks I can at least get myself into a harder to wipe out state and take it from there.

heres my Empire as i see it:



and heres my propsed dotmap (only a draft atm)

Just quick comments to the dot map.
Red seems to be one off the coast for no reason.
In general there is way too much wasted space. Try to get in more cities and much more overlap I think. Sharing food resources is good.
The yellow dot down south has 4 food resources. Try to get 3 cities for those 4 resources.

Damn my lack of time, GES has informed me a really should update this thread more - i do sincerly appoligise for not doing so but i have some personal reasons for this that i cannot go into.

As for this turn,well Locke and Moogle have decided to attack me - not a surprise, but i would have thought a Email from them would have been nice, but ho hum, there was something in the Email and Technical Thread, but i don't often look at the forums before playing tbh- just one more thing to remember to do if and when i play one f these games again.

Right - My full update will need to wait untill tomorrow, but here are some pics of what i face:







Locke is, i beleive only afew turns away from Redcoats, so my hopes are not high at all for my future, but outdated units can cause some damage - we shall see how much i can muster in due course.

Well, this may not be the update GES had in mind when he said somthing to me, but it is accurate to how i feel atm.

TBH this is more of a post-mortem than an Update, as from what i can see, with my strength and theirs i see no way of winning this, nor to be truthful surviving.

My only hope is:

• complete Ineptitude on their part (Very unlikely)
  
• or the choice of going out kicking as hard as you can.
  

atm i see only Option 2 as a posability - and that isnt too high a one as i have, in my own ineptitude made some fundimental mistakes

• My Cities are too far apart for me to make a decent Defence screen to work.
  
• too few Soldiers and what i have spread out across my cities with not enough time to concentrate them (i had hoped for 2 - 3 more turns inthis respect but didnt get it.
  

On the plus side, with protective LB`s, Crossbows and afew maces i can atleast hope to make this as bloody as posable, but i am outnumbered 3-1 soldier count wise in key positions and that i feel will be fatal.

EDIT: Oh, and i lost CEO's Sprite this turn

EDIT: Oh, and i lost CEO's Sprite this turn

There were 47 units capable of getting kills (with 43 of those Macemen or better), and 20 catapults in that stack. Nothing could be done to save that city (although hopefully you took out some suicide catapults? As long as there are 15+ catapults in that stack, there's no way a stack of yours can hold out for any length of time.

Do you mind posting an update? We're seeing things from the invader's perspective, but it would be nice to see both sides.
