[Spoilers] Adrien and Mardoc relax and play civ

[AdrienIer]

Unfortunately I couldn't get to it before the turn rolled, but it's not really important.

[AdrienIer]

CoL will come in 2t, along with our first LK ! (We don't have a city capable of 2 turning them, they're just spears that upgraded).

[AdrienIer]

I started guilds, then my plan is CS->philosophy->nationalism. Switching to mercantilism would be pretty good for our economy, bringing us from OMG-so-so-terrible to just terrible.

Wetbandit's power graph is really funny to watch, especially the difference between him and Jowy/Fenn

[AdrienIer]

Whosit is down to 5 cities. Against all odds we won't be the first to die.

[Miguelito]

Another game where you're losing that race ?

Weird...

[AdrienIer]

I just turned off my computer and apparently the turn has rolled. You can play it if you want, else I'll do it tomorrow afternoon

[AdrienIer]

Well I played the turn and... We're in the race for first-to-die after all ! Whosit is down to 3 cities so he's likely to fall before us.




I did some defensive moves. This stack is heading for Anasazi so I put all the HAs there. That means he can't take it this turn unless he has knights in the fog SE of his stack. I upgraded a spear in Tri in case he attacks there instead. It's a bad attack position this turn because it means attacking LK with 50% defense behind a river. But he'll just take it the turn after that. Thankfully the terrain means he can't attack another city from there before we get all the guys back and counterattack.

Um...why? HA are bad at defending. Their job is to be hitters after cats weaken a stack (and to flank away catapults), not to soak up damage.

Maybe the HA die to hold the city for a turn, but if we can't counterattack, I don't see the point in sacrificing HA for time.

Well, probably too late now anyway. I hope you at least spent their promotions?
