{SPOILERS} 2metra, Dreylin & OT4E. This is the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

[Dreylin]

That's a Medic II, Morale Scout. Interesting choice; wonder why he took Morale over Medic III?

[OT4E]

Heh, I didnt notice. Missclick or miscalculations, I think.

[OT4E]

GJ declared war on Furungy. They have somewhat like hotspot there.
Commodore continues slaving, but I am not sure that those all are preparations against dtay. Dtay has brought some protective lbs in the front showing he is not going to give it easily.
We have finally met mackoti. He has nothing special except Free market.

1 turn from Paper for us. Hope I wont mess worker turns since UoS is not gone yet.

[OT4E]

Some information about buildings in dtay's cities:

Leo (cap) - 15: terrace, forge, bank, market, library, barracks
Capricorn - 9: terrace, forge, barracks
Taurus - 14: terrace, library, market
Draco - 12: terrace, market, library
Aquarius - 12 (our nothern front): terrace, market, library, lighthouse
Perseus - 9: terrace, library
Lyra - 8: terrace, library, christian monastery
Ursa minor - 12 (Commodore's front): terrace, forge, library, monument, jewish monastery, barracks, courthouse
Pegasus - 11: terrace, library, christian monastery
Orion - 14 (our middle front): terrace, forge, library, courthouse, barracks
Caelum - 13 (our southern front, GA farm): terrace, christian monastery, lighthouse

That's all we can see. He has 30 more christian citizen.

[OT4E]

So we chop all and make Sankore in 3. Please check my calculations below.


We will chop all last turn.

We got paper now, so we see what people have. No surprises there, everyone has consturctions even dtay (researched last turn). Btw he is not researching something that everyone has and have GNP of 1900.
Nobody has Optics. Most has Bankings and Aestetics.

I start worrying about Adrien/REM. They've got Guilds and I doubt they seriously considering making one more attack on GJ despite of that he is at war. Btw, how do you like Furungy? This guy has steel nerves. He is attacked and gonna lose 2 cities, but he only spends 12 minutes in game and slaves just 1 city.

So returning to my concerns. I've moved all corracks away from REM/AI borders. May be it was wrong decision and may be it is not too late to return some now. I thought that they can hardly make us troubles, but if they are upgrading HA into knights and making transports they probably can.

[Dreylin]

Their problem is that if they make a concerted move against us, then GJ is likely to crash into their far side (same as our dtay problem). Have they seen our Carracks, or know we have Optics? As long as we keep a couple over there, I doubt they'll make a move.

Numbers look OK, but have you taken into account the production hammers lost on the last turn from the chopped forests?

[OT4E]

Yes, that's why I put 40 for last turn instead of 43 but right now I realized that we only use one of these tiles so we will have 42 production on that turn. There were also 2 extra hammers I hold for "emergency", it is not enough if it destroys our forge but must cover minor issues of miscalculations.

This is true, but what is left for them if they see that GJ is growing and we are also doing obviously better than them. They can use the moment GJ is busy on the other side to make revenge against us.
The problem is that I moved all corracks rather far (for like 4-5 turns now) because if we once decide to attack dtay we will need all our fleet. Attack with half of forces can barely work.

Dreylin asks good question. If REM/AI had saw even one of our carracks, I doubt they will dare thinking of oversea invasion.

[OT4E]

No they didnt see, neither they can see any of our corracks within next 5 turns. But starting from this turn they can know that we have Opticts for a while. If they make such observations of course.

[OT4E]

I didnt show carracks intentionally, because didnt want them to rush Optics and Astronomy. Now I think that the best was to put 1 carrack inside of their territory to scout what they are doing around us.
