Wonder if luddicator has the sense to give mackoti the gold...

No chance. But they should.

When I saw that Mack requested gold from Luddcato, it made sense that would be for upgrades... but Mack also offered white peace to NS7??

The combination makes no sense!

Interesting how this recent round shows how timing is so important in Civ. Despite having arguably the weakest units (HAs supported by Impis and Chariots), Luddite is arguably the big winner in the recent wars. YNL can continue to expand into Sian's territory, but it seems they have to fight quite a bit.

And poor Mackoti, who has built up an obscene amount of knights, haven't made much headway against NS7.

The big loser, apart from Fierce, is probably Sian. First getting defeated by Fierce, and have all that land poached by Luddite, and then invaded by YNL!

Are you serious? luddicator is going to attack into Sian with the remnants of their vastly outdated force?

Shows how much respect Sian gets around here. The sad thing is that it'll work too. Pin will grab Sian by the tail just in time for Yuri to cut his head off.

What will be interesting is when Yuri's phracts realize 2 whole starting blobs are guarded by impis and axes.

...or will Mackoti realize it first?

Good thing Seven can't tell them in this format. Thus far, I stand by my predictions for who wins these battles, although I am impressed by Luddite's campaign. Just shows that often HA "now" are better than knights/curs/cavs "later". Or as Nathan Bedford Forrest said when asked why he won: "Ma'am, I got there first with the most men."

Actually it's not that bad, I didn't realize they were using maces at least.

Sian bombed away most the defenses of Nuremburg, and we assume he countinues to attack. I'm not sure he can take the town, but basically on the turn we deem appropriate, we attack Sian's stack. Our troops will stay put in Aachen (except the Impi, they are heading to Prague to raid the iron), where they are 4 tiles away from Sian's stack. The turn that Nuremburg falls, Fierce's culture will disappear and we will have free shots at that stack. We also have the option of going straight for Sailor Moon and bypassing the stack.

Doesn't Pindicator forget Sailor Moon's culture here? It is three-ring, so will cover the plains tile NE of the Mace+Cat stack. With Engineering, they could hit the stack, but they're still a fair bit away from that tech. Sailor Moon can't be attacked until the second turn of the war, even with Engineering.

Or do I miss something here?

[NobleHelium]

Depends on how long the culture takes to correct itself. And you mean northwest I assume.

Talked to Mackoti - he requested the gold from Luddicator to finish astronomy a turn sooner.
