Spoilers~! Back to Base, a Superdeath story.

[superdeath]

This pretty much sums up my pb44 experience.. lol

[Cornflakes]

 

[superdeath]

Plan is to hold the city i took from chum, prevent him from getting metal.. then return with horse archers or something similar. ETA on chums death? 25-35 turns from now.

[superdeath]

Popping a settler EOT, going to pick up about 15 forests+ silver + sheep. Going to turn that into a heavy military pump. Workers and 6xp units are on the way lurkers and ladies. Blood for the blood gods!

[superdeath]

Been a little while since my last update:

Connecting all my cities via road soon, ( basically just the ex-Chum city ) finishing a sheep/road on my newest city, followed by mining the silver for the happy. There is a barb city that im going to be capturing hopefully in the next 10 turns or so. Speaking of 10turns, i just declared and offered peace to chum again.. as i want to be able to chop another forest on the border in peace, AND i hope to capture that barb city before i can be attacked again. Im roughly middle of the pack atm, and im hopeful that Chum's neighbor(s) didnt get more out of our war than i did.


Apparently some of my pics didnt save.. so here is what i have this turn.

 
 
 
 

[superdeath]

Jumped in to confirm whether Chum had accepted the 10t peace or not.

ANNDD


Yes. He accepted. I am green-lit to go straight for that barb city + pump a settler out for the cow/wheat/copper site. Im liking how this is working out

[superdeath]

Ok, so someone landed TGLH... which i had forgotten is stupid in base bts.. So many high score jumps this turn... i cant really tell who landed it. I havent seen any islands yet, so im hoping its not nearly as stupid as it could be.

Moving on- 


Ive got another 8/8 xp WC, so thats fun. Going to be checking out that barb city and hopefully its still defended by warriors and not archers.. Im figuring to capture that in 3-5 turns, and plant the long-awaited copper/cow/wheat city another 2-3 turns after that.



Im likely going to expand to 6-7 cities, research currency-HBR and then finish off chum. He settled a city somewhere, i cant check if he has copper... so thats concerning. With Chum's land, i think ill have enough land to be competitive. With CHA+ FIN i should stand tall and research pretty fast. So thats good i guess?



Demos arent terrible for someone that failed a rush. 3rd in land, and workers being pumped out to catch up in the other areas.

[superdeath]

Not doing the best, but the crop yield/production is starting to get where i want it to be.. GNP is kinda skewed thanks to whomever has TGHL. I didnt keep track on when this barb city was founded, so i will have to just keep it at 2 barb warriors till it grows. ( Chum has 2 archers headed that way )


Im closed off a bunch of land towards chum so far, and i hope to settle what looks to be an island and share that fish next to the barb city.



Going to have a settler out in 5-6 turns or so to settle the "future city" sign, going to chop a library to get border pop for all the resources, but it WILL be a nice city once that is done.

Basic plan is to get Math-HBR-kill Chum-Consolidate-(while teching to currency) then probably go for a knight beeline? I think i will have the production/tech power to get there before most so long as the chum war goes well.

[superdeath]

Waiting on the barb city to grow, Chum moved one archer up to see into the barb city so it doesnt look like he will attempt to capture/be a pain. The other archer did fortify/heal in place so i expect a city coming from him soon. Good. The more resources he pours into other cities instead of a shitload of chariots to force me to whip/ect is fine by me. If i dont face an attack of some magnitude ( and he swapped to sailing instead of HBR ) soon from him, i will roll over what remains of him starting with his capital, in id guess... 20ish turns? Depends on if he can tech HBR at a decent rate. I have no issues whipping/chopping out a bunch of wc's/HA's to go grab his well improved cities. Maybe continue into another person to get gold to fuel teching into currency?

From the look of things, ivory is absent from the map. Probably a good thing as i could be making... 3? promo elephants from the capital rather easily. Would have been fun to run over a neighbor or two with 20 elephants tho, real Hannibal like.

[superdeath]

Doing pretty well in demos


 
Barb city FINALLY grew, so ive added it to the empire. Peace treaty is currently up with OH/chum ( why did it have to be OH that is sub'n? ) Im strongly thinking about declaring next turn to get another 10t peace. Im looking at roughly 10t till i have HBR at which time i will be in full war mode to end the green menace. Considering OH will be piloting... im doubtful that i will make much headway, but with HA's vs archers... i hope to do something. CHA + barracks/stables HA's that is..



Missed that settler coming out EOT by 9 hammers. Oh well, 4t till i plant that next city then. Plenty of time to get workers roading towards the barb city and to move them into position to start chopping.

Also im assuming there is a conflict brewing elsewhere, lurker thread moved for the first time in ages and DZ/Alhazard both whipped away some serious population.
