[SPOILERS] PB7: Winning The Hard Way - Mao Plays Craps

[spacetyrantxenu]

If the first units had failed to do any significant damage, you would have had the option of calling off the attack before risking the stronger units.

Non, c'est l'attaque, l'attaque, toujours l'attaque!

Good news everyone!



Yup, nothing in there, just another spite whip before I could log on. Now Blackfeet is ours, and hosts a mighty stack. In other news...oh Seven, you vile, vile, dirty little temptress. I see you have a lush and desirous city there, its defenses permeable and soft, inviting in its nakedness...



Would that we could road into it, but life, alas, is full of imperfections. We're going to be linking cores soon enough. Here's the home front, all quiet except for the screams of whipped slaves.



A settler is going to get whipped next turn out of Miccosukee. I agree about more troops > expansion, but we can't efficiently whip the bigger pop away in a 3-pop go. Glacier Peaks as the new city name?



Beyond that, it's grow, whip a unit, grow some more. For example:



Amusingly, our gold loss is cut waaay down with our stack inside the new town.

:dancing5: Death and destruction! Nice job. He probably dry whipped a pair of chariots over the last few turns and got the hell out of Dodge.

Yeah we need to reinforce our attack stack, but keep an eye on things back home. We should get a barracks paired with a totem pole and pump out several 5XP archers soon for CG3 city defense.

Seven hasn't lost a game, period. He's not won 11 (aborted) and 23 (drawn.)

mackoti's lone loss to date is PB4. He's also not won 23.

And all of those were because of me!

congrats on the war success!

[Commodore]

Yup.



Stone city is ours to take, empty now...going to be another big battle soon. Peeled off the woodie 2 spear/dog pair to cut the roads.

[Commodore]

So here's Grim Monolith, nothing at all special but nonetheless worth the capture. They won't be keeping the worker parked there, I'm sure.



They've whipped down everything to deal with us, but that's fair enough, we're whipping ourselves dry too. Need to hook up the silver ASAP before the natives start revolting. Incoming chariotry will be reaching the front in time to hit Mind's Desire along with the spear/dog stack, unless Mackseven manage to dump too many units in there.



On the plus side, we've got enough CG bowyery heading over to make Blackfeet a permanent casino.

I'll keep cheering from the road until I see a disastrous report

Awesome. So no objections to the settler from the capital? We need a tribal casino name for the wheat city. Short-term it isn't as nice as the 1.5 chariots we could have made, but another whipping camp will help in the longer term. In the real long term...it'll be able to run a library pair, and with farms even more specs (two riverside grasslands).

Mohegan Sun?
Foxwoods?
Turning Stone?
Seneca Niagara?

I had a wikipedia page I was goint to pull names from but thanks Gaspar. I like Mohegan Sun for the wheat city.
