[Spoilers] The More Things Change... - Lurker Thread

I haven't been keeping up with this game, and it'd be rude to ask him directly, but does anyone here know why Krill's cities are so widely spaced? It looks like he inherited an AI's empire or something.


He probably explained it somewhere in his thread, but his posts are enormous and I'm only willing to dedicate so much time to reading about someone's micro.

mainly because of the food, the land is big but food was very few not like for example rusten which planted 6 cities one near other and every single had 2 or 3 foods and a mine of gold.I realy think this game is silly, if Oh manage a win in this condition they deserve a big clap.

From his thread it sounds like TBW is genuinely trying to defend. I don't see enough evidence for a reload and I don't want to keep the game paused too long. Anybody with a different view?

[Zalson]

Yeah it sounds like he is overwhelmed and retreating. It doesn't seem like gross incompetence, just normal incompetence.

To satisfy Krill, do we want to ask a more pointed question: what was your reasoning for moving the praetorians out Rome instead of defending it?

[The Black Sword]

I decided to just keep the game the moving. I'm out for the rest of the day and didn't want to hold it another 12 hours.

So superdeath just declared a limited objective war (re-patriating his navy) against Dark Savant who then goes into total war mode. Again.

Killing a work boat and burning 2 nets doesn’t exactly project a “let’s be friends after I get my navy home” attitude.

[Juri]

Yeah passing on that kind of stuff might have sent a clearer signal

[darrelljs]

I wonder if Rusten will deduce the GE born in a faraway land means he can't get Taj...

So, superdeath double-moved me, declared war (apparently taking first half again?), and killed a caravel "accidentally".

This is a significant disadvantage for me, if it's the eastern caravel I just moved out, since I was depending on that to try to get circumnavigation.

So we're looking att one of these things:

• we reload
  
• superdeath gives me a larger advantage as a concession
  
• I quit
  

He can't "accidentally" double-move me and expect to keep any advantage.

At this point there has been a lot of combat, including Superdeath vs Commodore and OH vs. Elkad. I think that Ramkhamhaeng could edit in a Caravel for DS and delete the offending privateer. If that is not enough compensation let DS doublemove Superdeath?
