[SPOILERS] GeneralKilCavalry Eats Cans of Spinach in PB51

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Stole 4 workers, not a bad pickup, given the workers ramk stole and the ones I had to send north. They'll cottage the land around the whipping cities that haven't had a chance to grow.



Going to try to send about 5 galleys loaded with 8xbows and 2 axes up here to steal the island cities.


Golden age next turn + bureaucracy + religion swap, with a hereditary rule swap at the end of the golden age - I'm not really lacking happy.


The island and city ramk stole. Really unfortunate developments....

Tech path is basically 1 turn monarchy and put up a feeble defense against knights, and then rush to rifles, hopefully before everyone gets infantry...

[GeneralKilCavalry]

I get the feeling that Plemo and Laz are turn timer camping me. If it comes to war between the two over my lands, I am moving all my forces towards plemo, since he is winning.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Going to lose my second best city. Ramk is attacking me, when I'll just hit him back with my stack running back from gira + whipped units. If I were Laz, I would've totally attacked me, but then again, the lands between my capital and gira are JUNK.

I'll try to do a bit of reporting, probably post pictures next turn for the lost city + planned counter-attack. Once I tech engineering, I probably won't be teching anything else for the remainder of the game, because I'll just be fighting Ramk, only to eventually get eaten by Plemo. Will save up upgrade money for remaining axes as well.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Ramk is just being vindictive and burning cities while Plemo has absolutely undefended cities on our border, which if burned would actually strike a decent blow against the leader. But never mind, let's burn GKC's cities with absolutely no gain...

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Ramk has repeatedly thrown this game over and over by attacking me. He's burnt my second most productive city which was working 12 towns, and gained NOTHING but capture gold. Couldn't even pilalge tiles before my army came around, and now I have nothing better to do than to run whip cycles and grow my two stacks facing off against him. If he wanted peace, I'd just ram them into plemo, taking two cities on the first turn. We could easily damage his front-runner status, but at this point, even that is too late. Only a coordinated attack will break plemo.

I refuse to concede for 5 more turns - i'll try to get peace with ramk and just throw everything at plemo to say "I tried".

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Well, Plemo can ram those catapults and knights into me, but the situation wouldn't be radically different had I attacked that northern city, and Nimwegen is one of Plemo's oldest cities with a lot of infrastructure. It's all or nothing at this point, if I can take this one city, maybe it will motivate ramk, who just gave me a favorable deal, will also invade. Hopefully Lazteuq get some sense and stops beating one of the more tenacious RB players into slow and bloody submission, and starts going after plemo

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Retreated. Not enough cats for collateral.

Killed:
5 cats (1 retreated) of 6
5 knights
Lost:
5 pikes

Got:
great general for medic and a formation pike. Distracted much of plemos muskets and made him waste his collateral.

700 hammers vs. 300 is basically an even trade given our productive capacities.

[Suite]

Nice outcome!

[Miguelito]

Planning to return?

[GeneralKilCavalry]

I retreated, lost a coastal city. Cats too damaged to push forward, especially against rifles.

Did I mention, rifles?

Please end this game.


Rifles!
