[SPOILERS] BaxAmeliKnight's thread

[WarriorKnight]

Centaurs are great for defending, HBR early on would solve most of our early defensive problems. Alternatively, we can wait until we have Construction as well and then we can build centaur chargers, that probably depends on if Kurio's have enough production at that stage to build them.

BTW, I forgot about warcry, so Hippus probably can pull off an early rush. Also the Sidar worldspell is a pain, that is a threat until we have hawks or Metamagic eyes available. A lot of things can be annoying early on.

We'll have metamagic-eyes as soon as KotE given that the Amurite palace provides it. Unless that's changed in EitB.

Centaur chargers aren't so great on defense, since (I believe) they don't get defensive bonuses, unlike regular centaurs. I'm also not convinced they're really worthwhile until you've got iron weapons, since they're twice the cost of regular centaurs. I think HBR is far enough down the mounted line for the early defense; you can then start down the arcane line for those floating eyes.

Just cause they don't have great defensive strength doesn't mean we can't do an active defense. They do have a high cost, but Kurio's excel at making lots of hammers early, they won't obsolete unlike Centaurs and the only other tech we need (Construction) is more of an economic tech then a mounted one since it gives irrigation and leads to Sanitation.

Anyway, this is all hypothetical since we haven't even played the first turn yet.

I'm not saying we shouldn't build Centaur Chargers, I'm saying we shouldn't neglect early defence and try to get regular Centaurs up and running sooner rather than later.

My internet is finally back to normal, so i go back on gmail. Only problem is that i don't have a fix schedule.

[nabaxo]

Nice. I'm like always online. Even when I'm asleep, my phone's connected. If you have anything to say, just hit me up.

Our final starting position locations should be fairly obvious by now but nonetheless for the record:

1. Amurites
2. Kuriotates
3. Malakim

Let's discuss game time.

I usually finish work at 16:00 GMT+2 (DST). I believe that's 22:00 your time. I can also play between 7-8 am GMT+2, that's 13:00-14:00 your time.

What would work for you guys?

[Amelia]

I'm more free for 22:00, my time.
