[Spoilers] Alhazard goes back to BTS

[Alhazard]

T97




Whipped Bambi according to plan. Finally working cottages around DotF. Goverment plaza has a lot of whip anger so no need to rush whipping out the rax. Despairing at rival high GNP. Feels already lost. Note that DZ moved his HA out of the front city, actually last turn, and feel enraged at his complacency. Commodore lost his copper but still has iron access. Note that DZ doesnt have copper access at RM's land as well so I pillage his copper, he could stop making spears.
Forgot to mention that chumchu met me but no idea how.

T98




Trying to grow out DotF as much as possible to work all the newly built cottages.

T99








Commodore lost his cap? DZ then razed it? What is the point of capturing the cap if you don't keep those wonders? They are both crazy. Got my 1st keshik with many more to follow. I think I will stop whipping Bambi now and let it grow to 8. I will convert the 2 of the plain farms it shares with the capital to cottages when it gets there and then it can get 17hammers per turn if working cottages or 20 hammers per turn if working the plain hill mine. Need more happiness though. Noted yellow borders by the warrior so this has to be the Discord team. Now thinking that chumchu sailed a WB near government plaza. Argh might need heavy defenders if OH was playing but he is no longer subbing for chumchu thankfully. Noted that we have TRs, would be nice if he had an extra luxury to trade (only has 1 gold) . The top GNP dropped quite a bit. Wonder if this was Commodore but unable to tell since he is putting EP on me so lost graphs...

T100




DZ put an additional archer in the front city. Gotta still punch it through. Also changed government plaza to work the 1/2 tile after I took the screenshot to generate another axe for the fight. If anyone does want to play some turns, here is what's going to happen.

T101: Capital grows and works the 2/1/1 tile this turn over the cottage to enable 2turning the next HA. Bambi should have another HA queued up. Government plaza switches to axe (3/35 EOT). Assign the new citizen in Nan Madol as a scientist. 2 movement should switch to a barracks so it can double whip it into a unit at size 4. Northern 3 workers can finish the mine S of DotF this turn. Southern 3 workers can finish the cottage W of 2 movement. Move the axe SW of Bambi towards DotF. Move the axe+spear stack S of copper into DotF. Move the HA from the capital to Bambi.
T102: Capital should be completing the HA this turn even if working the cottage so do so. Move the axe just built from Discount card to DotF. 2 whip the Ger in Nan Madol by firing both scientists overflowing to the HA, which goes to Bambi. Capital worker should go road and mine the hill 2N of silver. Northern 3 workers should finish the farm. Not much left for the 3 southern workers to do. move 1 south to connect the furs. then not sure for the other 2.
T103: Capital HA should be done. Start having capital slow build settler for replacement city (might need a HA if DZ comes attacking). 2 whip the axe in DotF and 2 whip the barracks in government plaza.
T104: Finish the axe in DotF even if you have to work the grasshill mine. The axe in goverment plaza also needs to finish this turn.
T105: staging turn. All the axes and spears in DotF needs to goto the tile 2W of DZ's rice this turn. All the HAs and chariots can stay in Bambi.
T106: invasion turn. Move all the 1 movers in the staging tile and the mounted units goto the tile W of DZ's front city. there should be 6 HA, 8 axes (4 that can take city raider), 4 chariots, and 7 spearmen.
T107: Hopefully raze the front city with minimal losses.
The reason to put all the mounted units in Bambi is to reinforce 2 movement if DZ sends a stack over there. promote all the HA to combat 2 as well if he invades.





Found superdead, so I guess chumchu is behind RM? Asked for OB but expect to get declined.



Chumchu asked for wheat for fur. Honestly not pleased because I dont need the wheat, and was hoping that we can trade happies because I will need them with the expected war weariness. Then remembered that I have extra furs down south so I will just hook those up as potential trades, and gave the extra furs for free. Will check his trade screen often to see if I can request an extra happi from him.



Commodore got his holy city back but for how long.



Not pleased to see that superdead is also at war with Commodore. if he attacks, Commodore could collapese quickly. Not likely though because I bet superdead also have maintenance issues.











As you can see Commodore's GNP just cratered so it seems that he had the top GNP. Despair because of Gavagai's likely top CY. Really need to finish off DZ but won't be easy. I really need catapults to break him. After that, need economic techs like CoL, sailing->calendar (silks), and MC as well as expand to all the marked city sites. Wonder if I can catch up to Gavagai eventually, who also probably has the top power by now.

T101








Surprised that superdead gave me OB. Just following along the plan I made last month domestically. DZ's GG died? How? Must have been some fierce fighting in the Commodore front.

T102








Somehow I gave both furs to chumchu so goverment plaza was going to be prematurely going to be unhappy. The solution was to whip DotF 1 turn earlier than planned so Government Plaza gets the representation happiness bonus.

T103








Wonder who got the GS. Glad that Commodore is not going to collapse from a 2 front war.


T104


















Was hooking up southern furs but that is one way to cancel the deals. Is chumchu to E of superdead? Ugh even with currency, my economy is so bad. My gpt is comparable to other civs without currency. I dont think anyone I met also has it. In the end, decided to run both scientists at Nan Madol to try to make construction 3 turnable from 4.

T105








Staging turn. Fierce fighting in the chumchu vs superdead war. Both players lost 1 city already.

T106











Invasion turn. My poor economy

Moved HAs to pillage the roads to stop pursuit. Moved 2 more spears on the hill for protection. Was this attack worth it? I really don't know. Lost way too many units then I expected so need to retreat and reload. Could be in trouble if DZ counter attacks ASAP. On the otherhand, got rid of that eyesore city and got 70 gold from capture, which means that next turn, I can start construction research. Glad that none of the HA's died, while axes and chariots are expendable at this point, and several of these HA already have 3 promos now. The loss of units also means that my economy looks a lot better now.

Well I suspect that Gavagai and the discord team are warring and it seems that the discord team is on the offensive since they are playing 2nd and Gavagai has been whipping a small bit. I wonder if anything will come out of it.

[Alhazard]

T109








Not much going on. Should have actually grown the capital earlier when I could afford to based on happiness. Building one chariot in Bambi for scouting.

T110








cap has to work the plain farm to get to size 9 before I whip it down. Wanted to work a plain cottage. Oh well.

T111








Configured Bambi to work 20 hammers per turn. This city will build 3 catapults then will start on MoM. I know that this is really ambitious but someone has to get this wonder and doesn't seem like anyone else is thinking about it because of all the warring. Hopefully the other cities can pick up the military slack and that DZ can't get to catapults himself. I know that I will eventually farm the tile N of DotF but built a cottage there now just to have the city growing. Looks like DZ slammed a stack to RM's capital but failed to finish him off. Honestly he should have done this with the big army he had earlier instead of warring against commodore. Also noted the big trade deficit. Now I can trade resources with Commodore and superdead but the cities aren't getting trade routes?

[Alhazard]

T112










my micro is definitely slacking. Haven't bothered to sim since I finished the mids. I should have cottaged the tile E of DotF this turn.

T113








That sentry chariot DZ showed can probably see the tile SW of rice where I was going to stage the troops for the next attack. However, it probably can't see the tile NW of rice. Wonder if I should stage there even if it means 2 turn slower push. got the GS but will continue run scientists at Nan Madol since it doesnt have any better tiles to work. Note SD's big army.

T114










Note that I am going to whip the catapults before HA since the former moves slower. I moved my warrior 2 NW after I took the screenshot so if superdeath is observant, he probably realizes that I have construction now. This was also the turn that I actually realized the trade deficits I was running so teched sailing to get city trade routes.

[Alhazard]

T115










With overflow from sailing, I can finish calendar in 3 turns. Will actually finish the great wall in DotF so I can cash in the 130? gold I have in Bambi to fund the tech so that both the catapult in Bambi and calendar finishes in the same turn for the MoM buld. DZ's power has been flat. I guess he doesnt expect another attack? Not sure where to send the scouting warrior to. I would like see what is behind RM's land but might be too dangerous because of barbs. Probably will send him south to scout the Aztecs, who lost another city. Still no foreign trade routes! Cancelled OB with commodore and my trade deficit lowered. reoffered OB at 5 g/t but willing to negotiate.

[Alhazard]

A thought on the Gavagai vs Discord war. I can't imagine any other outcome besides Gavagai punching through Mali just because he has more population to whip.
