Spoilers~! Back to Base, a Superdeath story.

[superdeath]

Chumchu did a great move by moving most of his promoted HA's out of the capital.. but then he pulled a move by moving them where i could still hit them with my WC's. IDK if he was planning on running these up the road north to try and do some damage? Or what. I think he should have retreated all of his mounted units south and made some sort of final stand instead. Anyway, he is down to two cities with hopefully not much pop left in the most southern one. Im going to be prepping some axes soon incase Gavagai heads my way as well as sending a scout to go see whats up in commodore land. Commodore is thankfully/sadly pretty close in power to myself, so its likely that ill use him as a slight buffer vs icehazard. Hopefully DZ keeps him busy.


It will take roughly 550 gold to research IW-MC. After which its a straight beeline for knights. If i can get both my borders secure, im going to run alot of wealth builds to get me there.


Cant appear weak after chumchu is dead, so got to keep my unit production going. Pushing growth the next few turns to grow onto/work some more cottages.


The WC's above his worker are where he had his stack of HA's. Pretty sure he doesnt have anymore, but my next WC to pop is going to be coming down the road as a lookout, then probably going to go and see what kinda area i need to spawn bust.


Icehazard has Caste.. So is he going to use Caste-rep specialist to catch up in tech? Still sad to see DZ's lack of even writing tech or sailing.


Got some decent rolls in there, but cats did the majority of the work.



Gav has a shitload of pop. HOWEVER he doesnt have currency OR alphabet. Ill be pretty scared once i see those techs being completed. Maybe i can help the discord team out by sending a seal-team of heavily promoted axes/wc's to go raze his capital? Eh.. ill see how the border looks once i conquer chumchu. The faster i get to knights, the faster i have an advantage over Praets.

Cities- ( not including the chumchu capital )

 


 
 
 
 
 
 

Icehazard/commodore are sitting at 8 cities each. I have 9. DZ has i believe 7. Gavagai has 12. I plan on catching upto Gavagai's city count in about 15t or less.

[superdeath]

Thats kinda bad news for me. I want DZ to be just powerful enough to keep Commodore busy, and have enough defenses to stop icehazard from taking over that area. Im happy for Regentman though for getting back up to 2 cities.. but damn.

[superdeath]

Next turn another Chumchu city falls. Getting closer to a border with Gavagai.. After this infrastructure push, im probably going to be forced to build a bunch of cats and axes. Come on discord team, keep him at bay for another 15t or so!

[superdeath]

Missed killing Chumchu off by one lucky archer. Next turn i have 7 WC's vs a max of 1 injured promoted archer, and a fresh no fortify archer. Lets test the luck. Gavagai returned my fish/fish offer that i had sent. I dont think its wise to go to war right away with Gavagai. Id really love to, mainly so he would be in a two front war, However... Commodore could then sweep in from behind and make life difficult. Going to go long-term here and build up a defensive stack on one of the borders, and WC's/HA's and eventually knights for the other border. All depends on future wars, how fast Gavagai kills the discord team, and whether Commodore or Gavagai get currency anytime soon. Im seeing myself getting to knights in about 25t, possibly less if i can just go straight wealth builds. May setup HA whips to get a good chunk of knights off the bat... Hmm..

Saving gold while "teching" iron working. I can practically 1t it right now, but im saving gold till i have enough to 4t MC. Forges + workshops will make my already stupid high production bonkers. Then its full steam towards knights.

[superdeath]

Got the kill on chumchu, so how about some pics?


Metal Casting will finish in time for my cities to start working on forges, and workers to work on workshops. Then im going to grab IW-knight rush.

Gavagai accepted my OB offer for a demand of dyes i think, so im going to send a WC down to try and make contact with discord team and assess how much longer they have. Im not wanting to bring up another stack of shit to go save them, if they are in the dying stage. Especially because i do not trust Commodore to not continue some sort of stupid antics.


Getting my last few random spears/archers ect out of the way for MP duty, before going for forges/wealth.


Tech situation. Im not in a huge need for calendar right now, and while id love to have courthouses, i feel a need for knights a bit more. I should get there before either of my  neighbors ( WHO STILL DONT HAVE CURRENCY ) can get to pikes.

Wish me luck!

Chumchu- I made a mistake by not just choking you in the early game, but i felt that that would be a dick move.. and considering you were a dedlurker of mine, i wanted to extend that olive branch. Hope i didnt prolong your suffering too much <3

[chumchu]

I also think that was a mistake. No reasons to consider that a bad move as it is entirely within the rules of the game.

I enjoyed the latter war even if I stood little to no chance to get back in the game. It was a lot of fun, thank you for that.

[superdeath]

I mainly consider it that way, because thats how i ALWAYS died when gamespy was a thing. Always rushed. Always choked.

[chumchu]

The reasons I did not whip more late in the war was that there was no happiness left for it. I never got to my altars unfortunately.

Your eastern feint was costly but effective. You had the production to lose and I did not.

I was very satisfied with how well my unpromoted HA performed =) They should have lost more to CHA WC:s

[superdeath]

Yeah, your combat luck was stupid high imo. I got some lucky hits for sure, but when i lose 85-95% fights.. :P I was actually hoping that the eastern attack would be more successful than that. But it did do the job.
