[SPOILER] vanrober and BAII

[BaII]

Might be a bit rough for us to grab Great Library since we don't have the IND bonus nor marble with us. Since we are AGG/CRE I think we should be looking to expand fast right now. Our CRE is most valuable right now in the current landgrab phase so expanding is probably our number 1 priority. I know we're not FIN but if we can get a large enough land grab I think that can offset not having FIN.

Sereval days wihtout posting a picture.

So ive done 2 workers and im trying to build workers and settlers so i can still use the capitol food since it has the max population it can have without getting unhappy people. So im going to get the "city 3" next. Its really close and it will use the seafood and sheeps to grow, ill try to keep up this way of building settlers and workers while the second city gets units to defend.

Im a bit concern since amicalola already died and is my neightbour, so im thinking about getting archery next.

I think we should be safe with copper though atleast. Do you know in which direction Amicalola is? If they're eliminated that means there is a lot of free land that we can pick up for free.

[vanrober]

Yes, he was around 25 tiles right from my capitol. Now its a hostigator in my borders and im kind of worried, i have still warriors and the hostigator doubles the strengh of them. I have much land around but im not sure how much units i should get to be fine for any war.

I show you some pics, in the first one you can see were was the second city of amicalola, my scout died and couldnt see more.

   

In this one you can see more or less the quality of those tiles in beetwen.

He indeed declared war to me with that hostigator. It has 4 promotions i think i lose that city, im trying to move some warriors but i think it not enough. I dont even know where he came, so im agfraid he is making a huge army to come to me.

   

[vanrober]

he took the city and his hostigator barely lose life. I cant recapture. I ll need around 3 or 4 units to recapture since that unit has too many promotions and strengh.

I hope he is just skirmishing with that unit and then he ll let me in peace, beacause if he is coming with more units i might lose hard.

[BaII]

I think right now we need to use the capital to get a double whip for an axe then overflow into another axe to deal with that skimisher.

[vanrober]

I did that, in 2 turns we take it with 4 units i hope

[vanrober]

I have 2 axes one impi and an archer to atack in next turn, and if i wait 1 turn i get another axe. Do you think i should wait that turn? Or maybe i should fight him with this 4 units and if i lose then try to win with my last unit one turn after?

[BaII]

What are the odds of just attacking right now? I'd imagine that's enough but we'd prob lose atleast 2 axes regardless but I think the impi can clean up after 2 axes. I'd recommend simming the likely outcome first to see our likely losses.

If we wanted to be extra safe we can wait for the extra turn for the axe but looking at it in face value right now it's probably worth to attack now since we can get the city back up and running earlier.
