PB68 - Lurking the tides of war

[Cornflakes]

I think this game still has life left in it with Yuris picking up those cities in Roman territory. And I don’t hate his raze of Commodore’s city, I think that was fine. I do however think that he is missing an opportunity with that engineer to rush Sistine Chapel and play for a culture victory. Sistine would also help in pushing borders back and squeezing a little extra territory as well as defensive depth. Massed catapults, pikes, and longbows can compete on defense at less hammer cost than what Mig can bring on offense. Just turtle up, work slowly towards gunpowder instead of bulbing it, and play for the long culture victory.

Yuris is going to have to step lively if he wants to defend against that stack. I don't think he has the forces in the area to defend his new city against Mig's doom stack.
And both See-Scape and Gruul Smash are on flatland. Not fun to defend against knights and samuri.

This game is basically sealed and wrapped if Commodore and Yuris don't dogpile Miguelito in the next 10-20 turns, yeah? I can't imagine them fighting each other actually working.

[Zed-F]

I don't think Commodore gets a say in the matter; his forces seem pretty gassed.

Should have waited a day to post my thoughts clearly they have aged well

I'm confused how Yuris just thinks he can freely take and hold Commodore cities in a culture void while also already being less in power than Mig. Mind I think this game was lost when he couldn't take advantage (because Stack was off in Commodore land weakening an ally) of some of Migs more aggressive moves in former Thoth land.

Mind you I think tech situation will soon make it clear game is over.

I think he is going to lib steel? At this point would almost be funnier to lib rifles. Show a rifle and bam, GG.

[Thoth]

Steel is what Mig mentioned in thread.

The sight of cannons will likely be the sign for Yuris to tip his king over.

[Tarkeel]

Wouldn't surprise me if he concedes after seeing the latest bulbs.

To be fair to Yuris, I think he knows what he's doing is a moonshot as he's obviously in a position where he must Do Something, but Miguelito is not directly crackable, so what's the alternative?
