Sent feelers out to Naufragar and mackoti to try and get them to commit to attacking rusten, 2 turns ago, i sent horses for horses to one, and copper for copper to the other.. both declined, so trying Naufragar with horses,copper, for horses,copper, + fur for silver ( or gems? cant remember ) hoping he gets the hint, that it will be profitable to smash his huge army into rusten. Because its only a matter of time b4 my eco fully collapses, or he gets cats or knights. He moved his big stack back, prolly in an attempt to swing around into the original city of attack. With 4 chariots finishing this turn, and 4 on the way to the front, im confident in smashing his stack on flat ground.. trouble is finding it on that ground. heh

he is roading and prepping to smash into the original city.. if he delays moving a whole turn he is going to trade with some Chariots.

Ah, i had plans to keep rusten at bay, and switch everything to wealth builds, and bumrush to Longbows and then offer peace... but fuck it! Cant wait to read the spoiler threads when i get dog piled, and their reaction to some....... whipping. If im going out ( havent seen what he is invading with but its AGG/CHA... ) im going out in STYLE.

Well i logged in to take screenshots, and was greeted with a 10 turn peace from BGN ( i have permission from BGN/Rusten atm to do so ) which i had to decline to actually look around/logout which i think is a shit mechanic... after declining, Dtay apparently sent me a pig 4 pig... that mechanic... is krill able to mod that part of the game out? what i mean by that, is to allow /exiting out of the game without that going away, as if you hadnt logged in at all? hmm...
Anyway.. took some screenshots. Maybe im assuming, that BGN doesnt know im at war with rusten? maybe he thinks that that stack of 4 chariots + border city filled is prep for war vs him? maybe he is REALLY out of it then... idk.. but regardless here are the screenshots.

Since BGN sent me a 10 turn peace after declaring war, i declined last turn, and re-offered now that ive looked around. For both shits, and giggles, ( and the hope that he accepts even by accident ) i sent Rusten a 10 turn peace, with him giving me 102 gold. for... pain and suffering .... if he doesnt accept, and doesnt push to come bug a city, i have 10-14 chariots that will be heading south, to fork 2 of his cities, and unless he has his HA army ready, i will burn a city.. because im doubtful that he has a retarded amount of spears in his cities like i do.
I decided to move my galley in such a way that prevents him from unloading directly on my coastal city. ( fairly sure galleys still have that "bug" that coastal defense basically = auto win for the defender... cuz ive never won as the attacker on a 1v1 galley vs barb galley... but anyway.) I have ALL CITIES currently building wealth. which lets me run 1 full turn at 100% science, and i think, i even out at 60-70% science with all cities on wealth. im looking at this rate, another 19 turns till i can get Longbows and live for another era. Although, if i get Actually dogpiled, ( or i end up just saying fuck it ) i may just complete HBR, and whip everything to the ground just to punish Rusten for denying me a playable first game.

Also before i forget, i also sent TBS the Horses/copper for same in an attempt to see if he would be willing to get alpha and smash some cities, although all its going to do is likely make him think im desperate ( i both am, and am not ) for help.. Im out of the winners circle likely since turn 0 due to neighbors... but since rusten thinks im the land he needs.... he can also be out of the winners circle. ( rusten when you read this, i am sorry. kind of ) Although i believe that rusten alone cannot conquer me in any kind of winnable fashion, im dead in the water. If anyone of my neighbors starts to nibble on me, ill crumble pretty quickly... Hopefully PB39 ill have learned from my Huge mistakes in this game, and i hope for a better pitboss
Stay Tuned, as i out-live Bandit, and HOPEFULLY at least 1 more person!!

Since people might be wondering how the war is going, and rusten doesnt appear to have posted for awhile, Heres the Rusten VS Superdeath war in a nutshell.
Rusten sniped a warrior of mine, that i had been planning on using to defend a new city i was gonna place where Rusten ended up settling..
Apparently it wasnt enough to steal my city spot, he decided/must have had enough troops to think he could take me.. which consisted at the time of 2 or 3 chariots, and i had a warrior, something, and a chariot in the city.
Seeing that im better at defense than a random AI, he retreated, and sent a stack, with roughly~ 8? units if i recall with 2 axes, 1 spear, and a handful of HA's. to my southwest coastal city, which i armed to the teeth.
Seeing that, he moved a worker on each side of the original target for a turn, ( with units to cover ) i assume they put in 1 turn of road, they can "surprise" me. and looked like he was gonna poke with a couple HA's. So i showed a couple spears, and i think 2 chariots to make him think about it. Since this turn/his turn last turn, he has retreated all but one HA into his borders.
Now, for the fun! i currently have 10 chariots, and have 7 or so more completing in 2 turns. Because i can be a little bit spiteful, and because i have absolutely no chance in this game thx to Refsteel and my terrible gameplay... Im planning on bumrushing 17 chariots into Rustens core to burn some of his cities, ( cap for sure ) MAYBE this will motivate the slackers on the other-side of Rusten to pile in, Hopefully before i get dogpiled myself. ( BGN war declared/peace treated )
ANYWAY, onto the actual report.
Turn 103-
This turn i realized im not going to even be able to wealth-build my way to LBow's in time, so i made the fun plan ( Blood for the Blood God ) of ruining Rustens game with some chariots BGN was in game while i was, and we traded wheat for corn, which im fairly sure should be the same as fish-fish for signaling good intentions? Im hoping. I am currently 4th in power, and because i dont know how much of an increase 7 chariots will be, i am going to assume that i will be 3-4th in power. Im going out with a bang my lovely lurkers, although if i can raze a couple cities and rusten accepts peace/someone declares on him, i will immediately switch to full eco to get LBow's so that i can survive for awhile longer..

Rusten is committing 4 catapults, and an assortment of other shit. Roughly an even amount of spears/axes with the bulk attack force being HA's. i failed to take a screenshot, but my stack of chariots i had sitting to snipe a city or two, was ambushed themselves, by something, either a chariot or HA. Might have lost 1-2 from that last turn, then i countered his south-east most stack with my 13 chariots.... and killed a decent amount. got a Great General and settled him right in my top production city, as im going to need all the high exp archers/longbows i can get.. heh.
Ive been noticing TBS's power rising steadly, while i do still have pig-pig.. i dont doubt im going to get slammed by him as well, and while i think i can hold off rusten for quite a long ass time, i will surely lose some cities if i have to defend two fronts. Dtay sent me a "fresher" corn-corn nap kinda deal recently, and same with BGN, so only Dreylin "could" attack.. and i really hope TBS just chooses dreylin as his power is significantly weaker, and ill be easy meal at some point anyway lol.

Ive dropped quite a few spots in power since losing a good chunk of my chariots.. but im still being prickly. Honestly, although i wont accept actual peace at this point... imo, rustens best option to remain relevent is to leave my lands, and just tech.

Not much i can tell ya this turn that isnt shown in a screenshot. so heres demos+ blood.

I had to take this while i had the chance there was no way i was letting 2 cats+ more shit join up with the fortified spears/axes next to Brain Droppings. While losing 1 chariot to 38% odds sucks, i won the first coin flip of 56% odds on the chariot vs spear, and that may be what keeps me in it for awhile longer.
Im in the process of slowly teching to LBow's while building good ol' totem poles for the siege..
