Defensive it is, then. Yuri granted him a Great General, which is unfun.
I suspect his ranged stack is 333 from this city and will be able to stop this hasty shot, but I have to swing at it.
Hopefully Yuri's putting pressure on the other side.

Expected. This is fine, not worried about this. What concerns me is that Scooter hit Yuri with a DoW, so I expect Cornflakes goes 100% on me now.
His biggest weakness is this one poke-out city, I just need to burn it and he's gone. So, I need to isolate it while frantically massing pikes and trebs.
Cornflakes is down 4 workers now, that's got to hurt. The Battle of Frequency is going to be a doozy.

Ouch. Just need 2 more GG points, please.
Yuri lost a single city so far, and more to the point, has not yet been given peace by Cornflakes. Nice for me, but potentially volatile.
I was hoping to get a Great General from that last skirmish, a supermedic would be amazing right now. Even have a Woodie III axe moving in to heal fast.
...because right now it's a standoff. When I go in, the question is going in directly on flatland, or in that jungle tile over river, which would be nasty.
Cornflakes must be making haste to reinforce, his current stack is too small. Tense time.
End of this turn, I built +25% defenses everywhere. Not always a perfect wonder, but with IND/stone/OR/forge it's dirt cheap and this is the game type where we really really want more defenses.
Castles plus Chicken Pizza means even knights get mulched at the gates. Important.

Well, hello maces. You've made this a lot worse.
I simmed, just needed one more turn it looks like, darn it. As it is, only took his city one time in nine.
This isn't what's enraging me. THIS however, is what's enraging me:
99.6%
WHAT ARE THEY FFEDING THE BARBARIAN WARRIORS IN THIS WORLD?

It's correct, though, because Great Wall would be the One Right Choice.
Cornflakes offered peace for me attacking Scooter. Which is nice and all, but I'd rather see peace for HIM attacking Scooter, don't foist me off like that.
Going to feint south, until Cornflakes has Engineering this is going to be a defacto fork.

Juke had him draw down.
Does he have Engineering?
This game type is not going to be needing full ICS. This city however, is going to be very nice so I went ahead and routed my settler over here. I'm probably not going to settle any Coast at all this game.

He has Engineering. We're done, offered peace for war with Scooter...who's poking around with horse archers in a way I really don't like.
