RBPB4 [SPOILERS] - Locke and Cervantes

[spacemanmf]

Can we see the unit summary screen?

[Locke]

OK well I will update you on current war.



There was a very big battle at Seizewell. We knew that alot of units would die because Adlain had all those CG longbows in city on a hill. So we killed a lot of units and we lost about 15 maces/muskets. At the end of battle we were 2 units short of city. Picture shows what was left.

Now if Adlain had Spaceweed units in position we would be screwed. Because they could've moved into Seizewell and reinfoced. But he messed up and those units were all stuck in south. Adlain only put one more longbow in city (and he move Great General out of city LOL) so we take it easy on the next turn.



Now the rest of units are in 18 Billion. That is alot of longbows there about 20 more of them. We are not going to repeat slaughter at Seizewell though. We are going to be smarter this time. We turn of science and upgrade a bunch of CR maces to redcoat. When we hit 18 Bullion with catapults and 10 redcoats those longbows are going to die real fast :D



So we are just healing for a turn or 2 and upgrading. This is overview picture. Adlain cities are coming out of resistence now. They will be very good cities when they regrow pop from his whips. The 2 cities in west are cut off and shouldnt have many units in there. That army in 18 Billion is main issue now.



That shrine is amazing LOL. 70 gold from religion. We put stock exchange in here and it will be awesome.

So that's it for right now. We are just healing army for a few turns. When we fight last big Adlain army I will update again.

Do you think it would have affected the outcome had he put all those units into the capital or would you have had to change tactics and perhaps fork cities?

Can you also post a screen showing tile yields in Adlain's land?

[Ellimist]

Do you mind posting your military advisor screen?

[Locke]

Old Adlain cities are coming along very nice. We have border expands almost everywhere. Units are almost done heal and upgrade to redcoats. We are moving out towards Opptuni and then 18 Billion next.

Research about 800 science each turn. Now that everyones Golden Ages are almost done we are getting close to top in research again. Parkin is still way ahead but we are ahead of evetyone else. I think. :D Parkin GA almost over he has like 3 turns left.



Moogle is still creeping along. He is very slow at war. We take 7 cities in the same time he take 1. We also fight much MUCH bigger armies than he did. We want Moogle to take Grand Exchange so work boat can connect clams LOL.

OK I see you asking for military screen I will take that next time.

[Locke]

Adlain make mistake over here. We split these 2 cities with knights and he didnt have units in north city. It is to bad he doesnt have Engineering tech for road movement LOL. He will whip unit I think but we still get city. 1 longbow doesnt beat 5 knights.



Here we are moving on 18 Bullion. I put circles around armies so you can see them. Basically we just move forward and start killing longbows with CR redcoats. Someone else can figure out odds I just know we have big advantage. It will probably take 2 turns because there are alot of units there. We have Medic III horse archer so we can heal in enemy territory. However long it takes we will grind Adlain into dust.



Since you ask this is military screen. We upgrades most maces into redcoats. We also just gifted alot of them to Nakor for use in Parkin attack. We draft more of them in a couple more turns. (We are in Free Speech + Free Religion civics now actually.) I say a couple of times it is great to be Spi :D

Your thread has taught me a lot about effectively using the spiritual trait. Thanks to you, I wanted a SPI leader in PBEM21 and we ended up with Isabella of Carthage.

From the Violators forum:

I'm wondering if I should just break my NAP with parkin and attack with you guys on T200. I wouldn't have much, but i could send at least 10 rifles. Thoughts?

You are already at war in all but name. Parkin gift stuff repeatedly to mackoti who is at war with you. mackoti also broke NAP for tactical advantage. It is up to you of course I dont think I would care though.

I dont see why everyone so crazy about NAPs this game. It is just a deal you sign like any other. It is silly to treat them as sacred when both sides hate each other and about to fight war. We are in this bad situation because everyone let Parkin hide behind NAP when he had no army. I thought everyone should have attacked 30 turns ago.

Great post.

I'm still trying to figure out why anybody thought they needed a NAP with someone who had no military.

Nice work on capturing the shrine. I believe that's, by far, the best shrine ever seen on Realms Beyond.
