Gavagai's revenge

[Gavagai]

Plako just no longer play? Or has he gone on to the great civ beyond?

Plako disappeared from the forum. I think he was pretty disappointed with PB38 and/or decided to move on from civ.

It actually wasn’t. It was being chased by that barb gallery for idk 10-15 turns? I realized a little too late that I was leading it towards others players since I was bit more pre occupied with the war

Kiting barbs into enemy territory is expected.

If it stops to kill a fishing net, you win twice. (WB escapes, enemy is hindered).

Commodore looks like an adult next to them.

I need to take it back, Commodore is THE ABSOLUTE WORST. How could I ever doubt that, heresy!
So... I have fish for fish with this guy. I have iron for iron. I mostly demilitarized our border. And... he is still putting units next to my cities. He is drafting every turn, upgrading stuff into Cavalry and, I suspect, has the second-best military in the game with me being the best. I mean think of it, given that OH and Rusten have twice the amount of everything compared to us both. And that was the trend pretty much from the very start of the game, two of us sitting on a huge pile of units and not losing them. We are canceling each other out from the game because this idiot cannot play fucking Prisoner's Dilemma. I am at my peak power now, I HAVE TO GO TO WAR and THERE ARE SOFT TARGETS NEARBY but how I am supposed to do it with this fucking jackass as a neighbor, who refuses even to move his Cavs a few squares back? PB38 all over again, it pisses me off to no end.

This is my punishment from the Heavens, had to play a normal start and kill the fucker in his cradle (or die trying).

So whats the plan?

So whats the plan?

I am attacking Pindicator in a few turns, after I built so many units it is simply not an option to sit on them. And if Commodore backstabs me, fuck him with a rusty screwdriver.

What is Commodore's other expansion/attack options in your opinion?

What is Commodore's other expansion/attack options in your opinion?

He can try to wrestle Savant's land from Rusten, he actually has the capability to do it. Rusten is very much off balance now, he has to be VERY worried about OH at that point if he has any instinct of self-preservation left. So, fighting him is very much an option. But I am not certain that this is an objectively better option than backstabbing me the moment I declare on Pindicator.

[Gavagai]

According to civstats OH attacked Rusten, just as I predicted. I hoped he would help me out against Pindicator but now, I think, he will be too busy. A shame.

[Gavagai]

Harry and Commodore attacked Rusten. I am happy about the Commodore part, of course - it leaves me free to do something with my army. But do what?



I got this from Rusten. Hard to decipher why exactly he wants me to attack AT. Probably to remove pressure from Pind to free him up to attack OH. Sorry man, I will still go after Pin. The ultimate rationale for this is that I am not afraid of AT but I do afraid of Pind left to his own devices. Here is the difficulty, however:



This stack is guarding Mouseferatu's subcontinent and I cannot really face it head on. Will have to apply some cleverness or be satisfied with the islands to the south.



About 80% of the force I committed to this war, not particularly impresive.
