Gillette Turn Discussion

We have 3 cats and 3 knights that can get to wifom in a couple of turns. How about bombarding until they can get there?

Those power numbers are really useful Yossarian, they suggest that Trolls don't have anything to dislodge our stack, so we don't have to run away just yet. If we just sit there until our small number of reinforcements can get to the stack Tas might even attack drawing defenders off. I think we are stuck with hoping TEAM will help out, Trolls drafting was far more than we could cope with in the end. I just wish Lewwyn was still in charge of TEAM - war is his speciality!
Your figures also suggest that a sortie around the coast to their MOM city might find good odds. They've got to have a few units in their TEAM border cities, meaning a skeleton staff elsewhere. Perhaps we could do something like send four galleys round the coast and leave four near to On the Rocks - Trolls won't know which fleet our troops are on and if we use them right we could take a couple more cities... Right now I think we need some pikes in our two vulnerable border cities as Troll Horse Archers could start arriving soon.

Depending on how the TEAM attack goes that might change, but I'm dubious...

Old Harry and I chatted a bit while he played the turn.

Turn 143
Not much to report on the home front, we have pikes and crossbows being built in case of counter-attack. War weariness has kicked in in Dirk - we'll have sugar on line next turn to counter it, then the Market built for some more bonus.  I think we want to build National Epic in In The Stone. We want to revolt to Organised religion and possibly caste system if the war finishes. We also want to build the globe theatre. So the research options are Aesthetics->Literature->Drama or Poly->Mono when we finish Optics. Unless you want to get to gunpowder or something else? On to the war. After a discussion with Yossarian we split up the stack to allow the knights to do a spot of pillaging. Trolls have 18 maces. Can they do our remaining stack serious damage? If so our Knights will sweep in and destroy them all!   On the water I've split our fleet into two, they have three triremes and a galley, so we temporarily outgun them, but if they add another Trireme we'll need to bring the other triremes into our main stack. It's not possible to fork Weissbier and White Russian, but I think we want to go after Weissbier  Up north our three knights come upon a cat and a mace... They'll whip/draft in a couple more maces over the interturn. Probably just enough to block our attack.  This graph is looking a bit better now  This one not so much, come on TEAM!  And Trolls are only 40000 soldiers behind us.  And if you are reading Mackoti, any pointers?

Turn 144 part one
Wahay! Very generous Mr Stick. This solves our immediate war weariness problems...  On the battlefield our stack of pillaging knights cleverly drew Trolls into an unwise (I hope) attack. Unfortunately they also killed our re-inforcing cats. They now have 13 maces, a pike and two chariots in WIFOM, while we have 10 Zerks, 2 knights, six cats and two chariots. I'm going to log out and test what is possible.   Up north I want to move the knights 1N to threaten Mai tai... Bloody Mary has three maces and a cat in it.  While down south we might be able to burn White Russian. I'll sim that too.

So it looks like with a little luck we can take White Russian. WIFOM on the other hand is impregnable. What do you want to do with our stack?

Hmm, with a bit more testing it looks like we need quite a lot of luck to take White Russian. I'll go and take care of the city micro before coming back for war stuff later...
