Berserkers on Galleons will for sure be an unwelcomed surprise

Berserkers on Galleons will for sure be an unwelcomed surprise

I agree, great idea.

Hopefully it plays out as just as fun as it sounds!

T124 - 200AD played last night.

Charlottetown completed a catapult - will probably pump another.
Fredricton started a missionary due in 4 (now due in 3).
Halifax completed another galley - will probably start pumping some archers.
Montreal is 1T away from a Settler.
Niagara Falls is 1T away from completing a catapult.
Ottawa is a long ways away from completing a forge.
Quebec City is a long ways away from completing a forge.
St. John's completed a workboat - will start on a forge.
Moncton started a forge, won't be in for a long time.

News on the war front. TRD moved all his units away, have no idea where right now. I'm going to have to investigate a little if I don't see them next turn.

Well shucks...Nakor and TRD made peace this turn. A short war with no losses on either side sucks. That leaves a half-dozen HA's sitting on my border. Not particularly happy about that, especially as I'm now 2 turns away from founding another city on said border. I shall have to try and see where things are going to head now. I did get my GE at EOT last turn so this turn I bulbed machinery. I'm also now 4 turns away from Civil Service but I think I'm going to be able to get that down to 3 turns.

Charlottettown started a 2 turn catapult.
Halifax started a 2 turn catapult.
Montreal started a 1 turn Archer.

Everybody else continued as posted before.

And so...

From TRD:

I declared war on you this turn.

A combination of the long nap with seven and saying yourself you wanted to use beserkers led me to believe id be your target when you got them.

Lets have some fun!

Regards,
James (the reverend doctor)

Did that war with nakor work to confuse you at all or did i waste time and trade routes?

Grrr...

[athlete4life10]

Had a quick chat with Seven and I guess Ruff has also initiated the 8T cool down of his NAP with Seven. Seven has sent an investigative e-mail off to Nakor to see if they're all co-ordinating together. Looks like it really will be myself and Seven together to the end, though this game definitely looks to get more interesting for everybody in the very near future.

Seven is probably going to lend me some gold to get to CS faster and possibly some upgrades. I'll get to look at the save and see what's going on and what I'll need before we finalize the details.

And so...

From TRD:


Grrr...

The dirty scoundrel!

Definitely should be fun for the lurkers though. Top dog and underdog working together, with a secret weapon soon in hand. Survive this attack and revenge could be sweet.

I played this turn last night:


I think that he can't attack me this turn without sustaining some heavy losses, thanks to my walls/hill/fortification bonuses, so my units will be able to move in and re-inforce Ottawa next turn. Depending on what TRD does I may even start attacking out and see if I can do some damage to him. I'll also 2-pop whip a X-bow in each of Fredricton and Ottawa, though Fredicton's X-bow will stay there. There's no immediate danger to it, but it will need some defence. After it will probably build some walls.

Ottawa will 2-pop whip that X-bow and after that I'm not sure. It will probably put more hammers into the forge while growing back and then whip again if need be.

There's also 4-5 HA's a couple of turns away from Quebec City. I didn't have time to take pictures but he's got no chance at taking the city and I'm hoping I get to assault his stack there as well.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this and combined with my proximity to attaining Civil Service, I think my future is looking optimistically bright.

It seems your bulbing of Machinery came at the right time

What's that babylonian horse archer doing on an unroaded forest hill? Defending against a fork?
