[SPOILERS] Don't mention the war

T123

Serdoa's city defenses visible to me:

Hadrumetum has got significant Garrison i.e. 11 Muskets+5 cats - He really seems to fear Cuirassiers since most of them are City Garrison promoted.

I upgraded 4 Knights for Mackoti. I still owe him 576g from helpping me to Liberalism+Military Tradition.

I upgraded 4 Knights to Mackoti.

Are Mackoti, like, powerful mounted units?

Can't invent any witty response so I just put the original thought through my faulty grammar processor and 'for' came out. Hopefully that post starts to resemble English now.

I did some rough (mistakes inevitable) calculations of beaker tallies at the moment. I've ~21000 beakers researched at the moment. I'm few beakers behind Mackoti, but my loan and Mackoti's big cash reserve puts me clearly on 2nd position probably ~1500 virtual beakers behind him. Clearly I paid way too much for him from helping me to get Liberalism and also that Mackoti has played well again.

I'm Approximately ahead of Serdoa 3500 , TMIT 8500 and WK 3000 beakers. They might have some beakers invested to techs they plan on finishing soon e.g. Serdoa should get MilSci soonish and WK has accumulated over 1000 gold. So I would say Serdoa and WK are behind about 2000 beakers at the moment that might be explained e.g. me using more scientists for bulbing than they did. So essentially they're not far behind. TMIT starts to be in bad position.

So is everyone sitting around or is this at least somewhat of a real dogpile?

This is for real. Units have died etc. Currently we're just building armies for offensive at the moment. Main reason is that we did wait some better units to come online and also that we don't want to whip our nations down. I just got Cuirassiers and Mackoti Cannons. Originally also Redcoats would be included, but at the moment it seems they're coming a bit late to the party. WK might have couple of them. Current plan is to start offensive on T129, but we'll see.

T124

Building up the army constinues. WK didn't want to wait until T129 and seems to have captured "Liverpool". Depending on what Serdoa does that might prove good or bad idea. There is stack of ~20 units behind Warwick e.g. ~12 Knights.

How does WK's stack compare to the defenses in Kerkouse or whatever it is (letters too small)? Would be a shame to have WK take it instead of us methinks.
