PB71: Lurkers dwell in blissful ignorance

[Tarkeel]

To be fair about pb60 the players didn't know it had been set up as non rush able. We were just told tile count, which was same count as pb62. And those two games are a great example of how water amount and shape can affect how maps look.

Indeed; I'm only making that to illustrate it was the map that didn't allow for it, not SD's nature.

attacked because my land is le' shit and i had super random hopes of being able to do a conquest victory by stopping teching and just continuing to build units from here on out.

Needless to say, but doing a conquest victory with 3 build queues requires that opponents are both fewer and incompetent. At the very least you need to trade better than he's done so far in this war.

[Qgqqqqq]

Yeah. All he's done is set him and Yuris back. Krill and Pindi feel the only ones in a decent position right now - Commodore seems to have underexpanded. Not sure what Thoth's position is like.

Just now i seen  Yuri lost a spear to kill 2 kesicks? how is this going with deterministic combat? He shuld had like 62 % odds so win both but he lst one???

[Tarkeel]

Deterministic is only against barbs on defense.

The way SD is handling this war seems extremely bad mannered, even by his standards. It's already a bit tasteless to throw everything into a early game HA attack just because you don't like the land you have, but to continue doing nothing but whipping single keshiks just to pillage after the attack failed to take a city is the kind of thing where I'd insist on not letting him join any future games I play in. Has he even built a single settler after reaching three cities?

Well he is a barbarian civ, juts plunders and after disapear....

Superdeath has a reputation that is approximately this, but honestly this is the first time I've seen him go THIS all on it.

[Tarkeel]

Well, this is exactly where I saw PB67 going, which is why I stopped playing that game. The map didn't help though.

E: Spoilers for 66

His defense in 66 is also much the same, only in reverse.

So, as far as I can tell Superdeath and Yuris will exhaust each other here soon, and then Thoth is gonna walk in and be the one who profits.
