[SPOILERS] Meh. Plako organizing mess

T116

It seems MC comes just in time to arrange welcoming party for Yuris.



Island could use lot more workers. Working plenty of coast. I wish I had Colossus.



Demographics - pretty average overall.



I've room for 3 cities which have food and then couple of fillers. The northern one claming another Coppper and Iron had to be settled soonish.

One more shot - SevenSpirits/Mackoti has better land than they've given impression (almost everyone does this ). Fish and plains hill plant would be pretty high in my priority list.

Event! Just 11 stables. That is easy .



Don't worry about unhappiness in the capital. That was slaved away.

That's one of my favorite events, actually. 11 is a lot, though.

What's the reward?

It is alright. It is basically even money with 11 stables you get 11 HAs and the food bonus is not bad in case you don't need those HAs. I might try to get this. Main problem is that HAs are unpromoted.

I've been thinking about the quest and whether to go for it. Granted going forward peacefully would probably be the best way long term, but I could also build those stables and prebuild some other HAs and finally collect ~20 HAs in couple of turns. That should make it possible to give nasty surprise even to those who are following my power closely and if HAs are already obsolete I could just take the food. This is pretty expensive endeavor so it has to gain me a lot, but I also think with my current land I can't really compete so big risks are nescessary. I like to have a goal in game, even if it would be stupid one, to keep me focused.

So I'll take HBR next and start building those stables. I've 10 cities and 2 settlers are on their way so building those 11 stables should be possible at the latest in 20T, but maybe even sooner. I just need to make some big sacrifices.

SevenSprits/Mackoti are allocating their EPs on me. I guess their threat of ruining my game is still in their mind. I could also just take the free unpromoted HAs for home defense and rush towards Guilds.

Where do the horse archers spawn? In your capital?

No idea . Logistics will be quite a problem with just Galleys available. Maybe I just take the some of the freebies and plan the attack around Knights. I could also spare the Great Scientist that should have spawn this turn and generate another one to bulb Astronomy to get East Indiemans to support the Knight invasions.

I like it ! If nothing else it will be quite interesting.
