[SPOILERS] scooter, pindicator, and Huayna Capac try some fast Zulu cuisine

[pindicator]

Sorry, too late and too tired for a real report.

Basically I've stuffed Sid's & KFC full of units. Commodore has some Nav 1 galleons that were going to try to sneak around south and boat Culver's, but I have some frigates down south that are preventing that; and Culver's has 3 units in it so it should be okay.

I then took 20 knights and put them on galleons, which are sitting in the middle of our lake. Half-finished forts are everywhere.

Unless he has another surprise coming in we should be able to hold serve another turn.

Oh, boat pun... Eh, I already said we were rearranging deck chairs. Good enough

Good to have humor back... on board.

On the plus side, we gained a hundred posts in one day. I'm fairly sure we're going to be top in post count for the game.

[scooter]

Well, in all that I somehow missed the worst news of the turn...

Commodore has Rifling now.

Ah, your guess for what he would do this turn is probably right then. He'll just attack and try to kill as many units as possible, because Rifles are coming next.

[pindicator]

I potentially screwed us last turn. I was concerned about the 16 units + an amphibious assault on Sid's. So i was going to add a few knights to Sid's and only put a dozn knights on boats. Then i put them all on boats and realized there was no going back.

So we may well lose Sid's because i played the turn half asleep

Well he played and we didn't lose any points, so he didn't take anything. He hasn't ended turn, but he was in there for 40 minutes so surely he didn't spend those 40 minutes on worker micro.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!



It wouldn't be Commodore without a string of good rolls for him, but we got JUST ENOUGH to hold on!

At least, I hope that's all there is... There still is another boat in range. I'm hoping he didn't just save it for some kind of coup de grace ending...

[scooter]

Cool. Pretty average rolls overall, yes the nice string for him at the end, but he also likely should have done better than losing 10 of his first 11 attacks.

Cleanup should be pretty easy, and we'll come out ahead in hammer exchange. Of course, that doesn't mean a whole lot when his hammer output is roughly quadruple ours. Wave 2 is definitely happening. Like I said, worst game of tower defense ever.

[pindicator]

Yeah, we are going to need muskets and catapults for wave two. And some frost towers.

Edit: The initial battle odds weren't that far off for him. When the average odds is ~20% you should be losing 8 out of 10. Unless you're Commodore

Scene: The Khmer palace, where the warlord Commodore sits on his throne, appearing bored as his advisers discuss how to best manage the growing empire. Suddenly, they are interrupted by the bored ruler.

Awesome.

Move over PB2 Plako. We have a new best late-game underdog story.
