[SPOILERS] RB PB7 LURKER Thread

They have no iron resources nearby.

There is one near Mali. Why didn't they throw it all to take it, but started to expand west?

[Zed-F]

Too close to Mali; too easy for Mali to defend with their UU. Rome would have needed their own UU to take it, but can't get their UU without already having iron.

1. build a city SW of iron
2. connect iron
3. whip 2-3 praets
4. AYBABTU

And skirmishers are no good on grassland to deny iron.

I completely agree with you flug. The glory days of Praets are already nearing an end, so this is probably a missed opportunity now.

Aha, I didn't know that area had iron and was unsettled when Rome got IW. A missed opportunity, indeed.

Actually, entering that game I think Kyan was the only one who had won a non-duel game previously(though nospace were obviously well on the way to victory in 13 at that point.) But yes, 17 and 29v are probably the closest we've had to those sorts of heavyweight fights.

My intention in setting up 17 was to have that kind of "heavyweight" game.

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Maybe a game filled exclusively with players who have won a previous PB / PBEM?

Who has a size 14 capital?

[AutomatedTeller]

It's one of the people LP doesn't know, and that list is below:

sunrise - no, sunrise's cap is 12
pindicator - pretty sure not pindicator - last time I knew, his cap was 8 or so
ichabod
lewwyn - not lewwyn, from LP's post
Moogle
nakor - not nakor - their cap has the lighthouse
slowsheetach
Meiz

So that leaves mali, moogle, slowcheetah, meisz. I'm guessing mali (FFH - Ichabod, in that list) On April 14th, it was size 11....

I'm kind of curious who in that list is the 2nd size 12 city, too.

[Zed-F]

sunrise has two size 12 cities...
