What happens if Amelia shows up on the wrong side of the conflict?

You mean after I recover from my cardiac arrest?

I guess with NTT we can't tell what we have on people. Feudalism due in 9.

You can work it out from the "Can Research" column.

Then I won't ever play another game with her. Backstabs have their place, but I don't consider just dropping off the diplo face of the earth as a legitimate method of avoiding diplo communication.

But yeah, this game had the same problem as in RBP2 with the attack on Speaker and Sullla, compounded by FFH's late open borders (a really, and fortunately rare, non-fun game addition). Namely we had a coalition member contributing little (uberfish), another who stopped sending emails so we had no timeline (Amelia), another who a) didn't road the front and b) showed their stack early, and then us with darrell away and me with enough motivation to move our units carefully but not enough to herd cats and coordinate the others.

@Darrell - the 1/2/0 tile being worked in the cap for 1t got the Brewing House 1t early. It's against my nature to do tile-micro, but even I couldn't resist that.

Well shoot . BTW:

Have you heard anything from Amelia? We have enough to pillage/tie him down at the least, and if all his junk is there to guard against us Amelia could have a walk in the park.

Darrell

Hey guys,

I would prefer if you could move your stack with mine (well, 1 tile behind right now) up to his capital. We will need all troops we have to take it I feel.

Kind regards,
Serdoa

Okay, nothing ventured nothing gained I guess :-).

Looks like no save tonight, so I will do this tomorrow I guess.

Darrell

[darrelljs]

Not even an official war declaration?

Wow, that's pretty weak guys...

Yeah, we suck. On the plus side for you that means we'll be easy to beat.

BTW, congrats on the stellar opening.

Our stack has merged with Serdoa. Its a big ass Mexican stand-off right now, sunrise089 can you open the last save and weigh in on what we should do?

Darrell

Haha, yes, after you recover from your cardiac arrest. Just hope you didn't have it yet, considering I was just throwing out some wild speculations, being unspoilt and all.

Pictures, please!
What's this 'stellar opening' you're talking about?

[darrelljs]

Oh, just the commanding GNP and production lead he obtained. I mean yeah his land is fertile, but he also knew what to do with it. Small tip of the cap. So, he had a few unguarded Workers lying around. I used Burning Blood on a Moroi to kill two of them. This is what the Moroi saw in the fog:



sunrise089 has been impossible to reach, but between that new PoL stack and the stack adjacent to us, I decided to take Guerilla promotions on all our Warriors . Maybe that was a dumb idea, I dunno. I just think he is about to mow us down.

Darrell

[Profane]

Ah, thought you meant a 'stellar war opening' on his part.

If Ilios doesn't go after your Guerilla I stack, what are you going to do with those troops?

EDIT: Well, just noticed he already has disposable Tigers, so I suppose your stack is dead anyway.
