Archduke and Emperor K team thread

[TheArchduke]

Yeah. I especially have a small plan with Germany brewing.

[Emperor K]

Ok looks like the game is going to continue.

Cornflakes has some knowledge of that setup since he has been lurking so at now there team has an advantage I would say. Still we are in a great spot and they can not stop us at this point. Let us continue on and win!

[TheArchduke]

Roger. More analysis of the situation incoming.

With Cornflakes that team got bumped up to Woden/Chevalier stats tactically.

How bad the situation is with "punishment" applied? No idea.

[Emperor K]

Well, if he has been lurking I would say that is a great advantage, he has insights on who is weakest, so we should definitly make sure we keep track of the military numbers.

[Emperor K]

Also I think colosseum is out..

Turn (43)

Ok scout is heading west

New information should start coming in the next few turns.

Back in our heartland...

When you get the turn take a look at my capital layout. I am thinking that the oracle is a better shot than the colosseum. Both singaboy and sulla are in better governments and both have 6 civics, so they skipped mysticism. I think the oracle and apadanda are the way to go. The first for the extra great people points, since holybram will have lots of districts, and the second for the 2 great work slots. One of the things Alhambram spoke of in his PBEM2 thread was lack of room for great works, and I plan to get many of them. This will also put the theater district at +4 and then we won't have to worry about missing wonders I think. Also having two extra envoy's can't hurt, we might come across a nice cs that won't be taken any time soon. I just think mysticism will be the safer route.

What do you think, I would really like to build a wonder and the oracle and colosseum both are good.

Turn (44)

Found a barb camp, got my warrior and a slinger enroute to take it out.

I am thinking on settling bay area to the north and the spot (66)(2E) from where the slinger is. I am not sure settling so far away is the best bet, however is there is no land connection then I will settle towards the sheep lake spot. What do you think, worth the risk? I am not going to build any military for several turns.

I quarried the stone and now masonry is due in 3 turns. The first settler in holybram will finish before I am able to harvest the stone nearby. I will see how long the one in swampbram and the second one in holybram will take so I can finish some techs to get maximum harvest / overflow from these chops.

Scout is almost back to unknown territory

Going to continue westward in hopes of locating more info on Woden and Chev.

[TheArchduke]

If you delay your settler by one turn and still harvest the stone, you can finish the settler and get a 50%! bonus on the overflow. Check PBEM 3 on how Krill harvested the Pyramids over Ilkum. Or just harvest the stone on the 2nd settler, you are running the +50% settler policy, no? I forgot thanks due the pause.

Same with Swampalhambram. With our NE neighbour embroiled in war I would even go nuts and build an immeadite 2nd settler (3rd alltogether out of Holybram).

Do not worry about military I got warriors aplenty by now (+1 warrior and 2 slingers on the way.)
Going to do my turn report now, nasty news on Granada.

2 E from the slinger is a great spot, but one we can backfill, I still think we need to boldly claim Fresh Water City #4 and Bay City #3 (Better names please.:D Sheep Lake City and Fried Oyster city.)

We could even ignore Holywinebram for now and settle 2 E slinger as a 3rd and the more I think it we should.

[TheArchduke]

An attack on us with DotF and with our milpower should be insane so we should use this to grab land. I will scout NE and push NE next with settlers.

Granada is a 50-50 prospect, I might need archers west of it on the bay which sucks royally, let´s hope the archer stays out of the city.

Commercial districts are down and next after a settler.

Anything you need your money right atm, I could use a builder buy.

   

[Emperor K]

Great Minds think alike!!!!

Ya im going with a culture faith machine, so i need cities. Settlers in bound.

I will want to upgrade my archers at some point, but not in the near future. Ill send ya the money
