TheArchduke in a critical Role as Scotland

[Banzailizard]

Well lost two swordsmen to Korea. Forgot to take a picture. Again probably should not have started this war. Only good news is I have 2 archers and a warrior on the way. Going to send the galley up to the city state to see if I can pillage, Korea has nothing improved in the water.

OK I actually had more than 10 min to take my turn tonight. 
Situation is not fantastic but not awful. I pulled back from Kim because they just have too much stuff in the area now.  General plan right now is to hang back for about 6 turns and wait to push on xbows, might stall a turn to get one more bowman out for upgrade.

Korea They chopped out an encampment and they have another settler in the fog which is unfortunate.  Other big risk right now is that DoF will end with Australia in a few turns. I still have more military score but I wonder how much that is inflated by the galleys. 

On defensive tactics I will swap to limes and get some walls up to cover my back.  I think worst case this war goes to stalemate mode, still bad because of Korea's science but not likely to be the death of me.

Again I wish I had time to truly focus on this but school is more important. Is should have said no to taking over.

Hmm, I feared that this would happen. I would dig in and peace.

I am not sure he would take peace.  I would not in his position, at least not until I knew what Australia planned. a 2v1 would be great for Korea, and better than sitting back and doing nothing for Australia.

I didn't notice I got a turn last night but here is the current state of affairs.  3 turns to xbows, 2 turns to defensive tactics.  Declaration of friendship expired with Australia no offer to renew from them. I sent them one, not great for me since it will give them the chance to attack first down the line, but if they take it, I might press on against korea with xbows.

Still working that galley up the coast.  Might get some gold pillage from the city state which is allied to korea so entered the war on their side. Other policy swap I need in 2 turns is Ilkum.  I need builders out and improving tiles to support this large military I have going.

Pin looks like he is getting ready to attack me, which you know it is what it is.  Not much I can do about it. Archer will finish next turn.  Not sure if it imedatly becomes and Xbow slowing production down, or finishes as a bow and I upgrade to Xbow. Either way I should have 2 swords and 2 Xbows there before he can really do damage.  I think he might try to grab Crusade to give himself a combat boost hence the conversions.  I did spend faith to purchase a library in Emon a few turns ago.  My scout will pillage his HS and Gov Complex if need.

Currently running Limes to get walls up, Ilkum to get builders out, Conscription for gold for upgrades, and I forget the name for diplomacy but it gives me more envoy points per turn. 

4 turns before I can peace out with Korea but they don't seem to want to attack.

[TheArchduke]

Imo you need to dig in for quite a long war against both of them. Try to outtech them and I personally would concentrate on Australia.

[Banzailizard]

That is my general plan. I have walls going up in Port Damali. Nicodranas and Emon have walls in the que once the CH and archer are done. The units near Vasselheim are headed to Emon as well. I might still loose Nicodranas especially since I think Pin has archers in the fog. Might be worth it to buy a builder and chop out the walls with Magnus and Limes active. Need gold for xbows too.

[Banzailizard]

Pin declared war on me as expected, and he has a large army as expected.  I think I am loosing everything sound of Emon. I just do not have enough troops to fight Korea and Australia at once across such a wide area. Oh and the archer I had in training? When I got the new tech it just stopped building it.  No upgrade to xbow, not even sure all the production carried over.  I also do not have enough gold right now to upgrade any units to xbow. 

Looks like the the UI mod updated too which is nice.
