[spoilers] Commodore's 69 Techniques

[Tarkeel]

No questions, but I love to see Germany get some love.. I've been wanting to play it for some time.

It feels like most of the recent games have reached the Industrial era, with some notable exceptions.

Thanks for posting F1. Can we get F2 as well please.

How many hammers are you going to dedicate to miltary units, and how many specifically to Riesengarde? Right now you are dedicating 84 hpt to military, how will that change?

With whips, I'll spend six turns running ~350hpt.

So the economy is bad. And the military is bad...

...but the hope was always in a dogpile. I think Pindicator is signaling willingness to move it. If he doesn't aid, he's the better target frankly.

...and Magic Science also signals a countdown. He's a neighbor of Bing as of this turn:


Bulb next turn, ideally with just ~10 beakers short...

Thanks, I have been planning this bulb path since turn 0, so I'm excited to have something going on finally.

Commodore, I read your thread and was unpleasantly surprised by the amount of hate which, in my opinion, is entirely unjustified. At no point I had any special grudge against you. My choices during the final war were a rational response to my strategic situation.
After my invasion of SD failed, I knew that I do not have the army to fight you and Pindicator both. So, when you invaded I saw my only hope in forcing peace with you before Pindicator jumps in. For this reason, I moved forward my army to threaten your city which I saw as vulnerable. And after you refused peace and reinforced the city, I simply did not have the time to get my stack back to defend Rome.
After that, I once again had a choice - to try to fight Pindicator and take Rome back or to fight you. And killing your isolated HA stack was the easier option, so I went for it. Once again, I hoped that you would not want to see Rome in Pindi's hands, so I hoped you would give me ten turns of peace to try to take it back.
Finally, when Bing invaded my main stack was out of position to defend my Western city, so I did not even try.
The reason why I focused in this last war on you over other participants was that you were more careless and reckless and repeatedly placed your units in a vulnerable position - something that Pindicator never did (it was also the case in the previous war when you moved a million of axes in my territory). Pindicator, on the other hand, displayed patience and strategic humility and it is well-deserved that he got the most of the spoils. You, on the other hand, can much more profit from reflecting on your own mistakes than from "Gavagai bad" monologues.

[Commodore]

I see you, but...

-deserved that he got the most of the spoils.

...tells me that no, it was not actually unbiased.

Campari was apparently sitting on a goldjade mine here.

I really like this city, it's turned into quite the looker for me already. Going to have to whip it a bit for a risengarde or two, but then it can just chill out and grow.

...or die to a Bing counterattack, that can work out too.

[Commodore]

Don't mind me, just prepping for war...


Magic Science and Pindicator both seem to be cool with the proposed 5t timetable, which is great. Need to be able to coordinate the dopgile, nice as the 17 Risengarde initial top will be. Nowfrogger just doesn't seem to be getting my diplo, which is annoying. He is counting down "him DoW Magic Science" in 5t, which is NOT WHAT I WANT. He can stab the lad in 7t, 8t, I don't care, but MS needs to be free for the initial assault.

[Commodore]

Now this is the Renaissance event rate I'd wanted to see.

Moving out of Hefeweizen next turn. I'm scared. 

[Tarkeel]

Best of luck!

E: T188 already? Tech rate isn't that much slower here than it was in 66, and a lot quicker than 64.
