RBP3 [SPOILERS] - Friendly Kittens (Ragnar of Maya)

[RefSteel]

You are correct that there was an error in the microplan (at least one) and correct about what I mistyped, and correct about which tiles to work. I have also updated and improved the microplan a bit further. However, it does not result in any more chariots being produced, and would not produced its first non-emergency mace until T114.

I have us building Holkans now (actually just building two; the others are prebuilds for Pikes or to whip in case of emergency) because I don't want their hammers to decay and they're useful for getting the proper amount of overflow.

Where did the axe near Kilrah move, by the way? (And the other axe, for that matter...)

By Prrsha, I assume you mean Yalara (in the northwest)?

I'd look at the game myself, but ... you know....

[Maniac Marshall]

Yes, by Yalara.

The axe by Kilrah moved straight W and now stands 1E of the Pigs.

The other axe beelined for the silver and is 1NW of the silver.

We'll be ok. I moved the chariot in Kilrah back down the road 1 tile so it could hit the silver only because there was no reason not to. I moved the middle chariot 1 E of the capital, so it can hit both the pigs and the silver, and I moved Jalthi 3.4/4 due a promotion where it can also attack the silver (this was my only regret. He could have healed and his sentry was useful where he was, but there was no other available backup unit). With 3 chariots playing a zone + and axe in Kilrah, we should be covered.

The game rematerialized, however, it had been running the entire time, and the turn 110 clock is even down to 12 hours, so I'm sure a reload will happen.

I did take a very brief look at things. I did NOT move any units, as we would then be required to move them the same way after a reload.

Nobody learned a tech on the interturn.

Our warrior has exactly 97% odds to win vs the barb warrior.

The barbs might move different, but they moved as predicted - onto the silver and pigs. We have better than 95 but less than 97% odds on both, with a chariot to spare is we get a crap rng roll.

We should attack the axe on the pigs first. That's really all I have to say.

[Maniac Marshall]

OK, the game is finally rolling along back where it should be. The reload was at a point after we had played our turn, so everything is done. You can, of course. log in and take a look around.

I requested the 50g from Krill we need to keep research up, and requested the marble from Kyan. We really need to get DJ to talk to us.

Sounds good. I updated the microplan on page 1. No time to comment further as I have to get back to work, but everything you've posted looks good and correct to me.

[Maniac Marshall]

Depending on when the game is reloaded to, we may need to log on and request the 50g and marble again.

Yet another microplan update posted on the first page. It now goes through turn 122, but there might be changes if I can figure out how to fit a scientist in somewhere. Right now, I'm trying to figure out how best to build the NE in Orange - regardless, there'll be time to get another GS between now and its first GP if we (want to and) start soonish....

Note the gold request is more important than the marble at the moment; the latter is needed for only one interturn, and that one is T116-117, still a little ways down the line.

PM from Morgan:

Hi,

I offered to manic a while back to help out.

It's been a while since i was knocked out so i think i'm unspolied enough to play. I have resisted looking at any threads in PB3, so am unspoilt in that respect.

if the the teams agree and your happy, i'll offer my services.

I wrote back:

Thanks very much for the offer! I'll consult with Maniac and one of us can post something to the IT thread. I'd be delighted to have you on board, as long as you don't hold any grudges on the basis of your time as Liz of France. I'm not sure what other teams will think of it ("No fair! He's seen all the e-mails and actions that make it obvious we're evil backstabbing meanies!") but it would be great to have your help.

So this is me, consluting with Maniac and Cull (and lurkers, since this isn't a spoiler-related question) - I realize a lot of teams will probably say, "NO WAY!!! TOO SPOILERED!!!" but I'd be inclined to at least post something in the IT thread, to find out for sure. Thoughts?

[Maniac Marshall]

Go for it.

[Cull]

Agreed. Worse they can do is say no. They could "accidentally" declare war though.
