[spoilers] themusicman: coherent of beat

[TheMusicMan]

might as well tech gunpowder next but will have to wait 1 turn at 0%. better late than never. damn cant revolt to nationhood this turn!

double-damn! i lost n'zogbia!



couldnt be bothered to look at the logs

now carroll is rebelling as half of them are hindus and i took a gamble at leaving the city defenceless. managed to get a crossbow out this turn not sure about next .. if i still have it

a double-chop cam,e in at speed so i was able to get a 1-turn knight. this may be the last horse unit i can build if slowcheetah cuts off my horse

my chariots did destroy an ivory camp

even better news at end of turn. a great scientist appeared in gonzalez. golden age here i come haha

[TheMusicMan]

ok used the great scientist to start a golden age and revolted to nationhood and back to slavery. was tempted by theocracy but didnt want to lose the beakers.

i drafted 3 mace this turn and as i completed gunpowder i will draft muskets from the next. also whipped a mace and a catapult. lets face it im not going to win so it doesnt matter if i kill my economy while fighting does it?

weirdly slows decided to faff about pillaging cottages and my horse pasture instead of pushing on to carroll. id have broken my road network and pillaged a mine on the way to carroll instead. hell now have to re-pasture as it looks like hes keeping n'zogbia.

dammit! now brambles upset at fighting fellow hindus. guess what? itll be drafted into submission too just like carroll. at least the christian jewish and muslim cities won't be so arsey haha

[TheMusicMan]

seriously? i thought slow wouldve made a move on carroll by now.

anyhow going back to 0% but ive queued up printing press replaceable parts and rifling as doing military tradition is kinda pointless without access to horse.

drafted 3 muskets in carroll owen and solano this turn. 2-pop-whipped a library in bramble to shut them up for now. also upgraded a warrior to a pike in owen. have 4 more of them knocking about so will do likewise over the next 2 turns haha

[Catwalk]

He's not named slowcheetah for no reason

[TheMusicMan]

doubt thisll work

hmm didnt see that coming. although you might lose more than 1 cuirassier if i draft something haha

umm would it be possible for a 10 turn nap to follow the enforced peace and use of your spare stone and marble until that ends? ill accept the current deal on offer in-game if you agree to the additional clauses

but worth a try haha

did not see the troops at all. checked the previous save and yes the boats were there but not the stack of cuirassiers that took bellamy

[TheMusicMan]

haha it did

Lets see ... even when calculating a loss of a cuirassier i still have 2 to spare when taking the city, and while not having great chances i'm fairly certain that even if its a musket i'm still having ~40% chance on the first cuirassier, which would very likely knock down a bit of its health for the next to have a favourable chance ... but anyhows ...

just to make sure we understand each other ...

you want another 10t nap on top on the game enforced and free access from Marble and Stone for the total of 20 turns?

... hmm ... i guess i could argee to the former, but i'd like some small gpt for the resouces ... say ... 9gpt for both resrouces or 5gpt if you only want one of them

and ill save 3gpt overall! bonus

[TheMusicMan]

ok so i got a good[ish] deal from sian. if he honours it

still drafted a musket in speed as well as completing a pike this turn too. nad drafted muskets in carroll and solano. slowcheetah might find them tougher nuts to crack than n'zogbia now haha

[TheMusicMan]

shit! didnt notice a trade window from sian guess ill have to remember to offer the trade next turn

and finally slowcheetah moves his troops as there were a few alerts

solano:



carroll:



and this sparked the sirens in owen:



drafted 3 muskets in boumsong gonzalez and viduka

and heres the demos whilst at war at 100% and in a golden age:

[TheMusicMan]

dammit! now solanos been aggressively transferred to play for slowcheetah

since the transfer window opened ive lost n'zogbia and solano to slowcheetah. bellamy retired. set up a lucrative deal for xisco with sian to prevent losing speed. now beardsleys being tapped by brick haha

[TheMusicMan]

shit! and there goes carroll!! noticed that right after accepting beardsleys transfer. i moved the crossbow and gifted him the spearman haha

looks like its game over for me so i might as well do some free transfers:

owen to sian
boumsong to brick
speed to azza
viduka to azza

thats my holy cities given away and bramble will be tucked behind sian and bricks culture. only gonzalez will be vulnerable
