[Spoilers PB23] Old Harry's attempt at civilizing AdrienIer

[AdrienIer]

Well I accepted CH's offer :




It was this or losing two core cities (as you can see with the cav stack forking Ashes and copper city). Now I can try to take a shot at Ipecac, who lost his capital to Elum. I'm building a spy to try and make sure it's doable.

[AdrienIer]

CH is forgiving. I think he doesn't care about me as long as I don't annoy him.




So I think I have a chance of taking some cities from Ipecac, a war I'll declare in 3 turns when I get a spy in his city. But I felt it would be fair to tell Elum beforehand that I was going in. I could have added a 3g trade but I forgot.

[AdrienIer]

Oh I forgot to update this. Elum accepted the deal, which bode well. But it's a good thing I decided to send a spy in first. Attack canceled :




I could attack the northern peninsula but I don't have enough galleys to take move this army across the sea. So I'm now left with a stack (yay for rebuilding one after the CH disaster) that is completely useless. I don't really neighbor Agent any more, attacking CH would probably be amusing for him but not so much for me, and Ipecac is losing 3 cities per turn yet has a stack as big as mine on our border. TBH I didn't deserve to get the spoils from Elum's attack, so it's only fair that I won't interfere.

[AdrienIer]

Elum has gifted me a caravel this turn, and apparently will neighbor me soon (lots of rifles on the hill as well). I think this border will be peaceful (until Elum decides to take over my land of course). Also Whosit asked to trade maps, which I accepted. I have a good chance of ending 4th in this game in the end. Which is totally undeserved, but well I won't complain.

[AdrienIer]

Lurkers, we're having an extensive pause on a game that's pretty much in the bag for Elum, don't the other players want to concede ? CH and Whosit really think they can compete ?

[GermanJoey]

Hmm.. I'll bring up the topic in the lurker thread.

[AdrienIer]

Thanks

[AdrienIer]

I declared on Ipecac. If Elum ends up short to take his city I can snipe it next turn.

[GermanJoey]

Sorry it took a few days, but it seems like there wasn't a consensus on concession from the players. So, the game will continue for now. (if the servers ever get fixed, at least )

[AdrienIer]

We play on then. Thanks for bringing it up to the others.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I'm getting rifling in 3t now. Time for shit to get real
