[Spoilers] Dreylin's short visit to a late Era

[OT4E]

Everything was going to this.... But now we know what BGN will be making for next several turns. Assembly lines wont help him by any especially if we catch him between civic changings.

[OT4E]

Rejected this on joining:

[Dreylin]

Yep, our second will come online in 2-3t. Does he have anything that we can counter-offer for - although I think Sugar might be the only one we're missing / won't hook up shortly?

[OT4E]

One more thing. BGN is making an uncovered psychological pressure:


He drafted 1 infantry and intentionally showed it to REM, this turn he does this to us:


But drafting infantry is not really effective and I am sure that he will focus on making his cheap Factories and attacking on him in the closest future is still possible.

[BRickAstley]

I have an Infantry. Ho ho ho.

[Dreylin]

Righty-ho, I guess I turn a few of those Cavs around and start hiding them on ships....

[OT4E]

We are 4 turns away from GS. We need 974 science invested in Biology and 808 in Physics based on having 140 pop. Now we have 133, but we plant 5 cities, so it is pessimistic esteem if we are going to slave hard. Our tech ratio on 100% is more than 550, so you need to align the numbers at the end of each turn to match the numbers we need overall.

Scooter is stacking ships, so we must reply in some way. I think 1-2 SotLs must be covering our whales to prevent him from taking forest hill from city.

[Dreylin]

OK, so realistically we need to put a couple of turns of 90-100% into Biology and then finesse the Physics numbers over the last two turns. Shouldn't be a problem....

I'll check the eligible cities again, but I think it's time to switch back to Nationalism and Draft. Dolphins needs more defenders, as does Goldfish's island. I think we should be able to start Drafting around Gaspar's core to get near a full 5t round. I'll also get ships going in the central region (Donkeys, Geese, Ducks, Dolphins) where they can be whipped and sent in either direction.

[OT4E]

Sounds good. Theocracy? We do not have religion in Gaspar's land, so I think no. For building Cavs we can still have stables, at least in the main cities, they cost only 1/2 of a Cav. For rifles star is not that important, because they are only good as defenders and only when you have much of those.

I'll try to work on the certain timeframe for the possible attack closer to the week-end. Right now I am leaning to something like razing DZ's island cities and making a widescale attack on BGN.

t306 -

BGN & REM are rearranging their border garrisons:



REM is pushing EPs at us; we lost his graphs and can't grab them back easily. He's got ORG Courthouses pumping them out, so rather than compete, I decided to grab pindicator's graphs and then we can always extrapolate REM's (most likely he'll be top competitor).

Planted some Ferrets on the Scooter border:


And landed a pair of Settlers at the Silver sites to found next turn. Whipped Goldfish and lined up Geese to whip next turn.

I revolted to Nationhood only - will try to push out Missionaries to Gasparland in the next 5t to allow Theocracy next set - and Drafted Goldfish, Dolphins and Chameleons. Next round we can take Donkeys, Cats, and maybe Rabbits. I also whipped the Theatre in Pigeons since it doesn't have tiles to work, and will do the same next turn in Ferrets. Managed to stop myself whipping the Scientists out of Chickens again....

Oh, and I offered Gems to BGN for his Dyes. He only has one hooked up so far, but it is his "core resource".
