As someone who lived through a similar expierence in PB52 with PRO Celts, I can say I'm proud of you.

Im sad because of moving 8 axes there instead of 1.
Im really proud of my game and i think i played it well (ofc it was a lot of chumchu help in here). After almost 30 turns of war i think it had completely no sense to try to kill me instead of cairo And i think mjmd and amica will pay for it. Also you just saw how much time civac has needed to take cairo down 20 turns after and he was just building military, so if mjmd would have go with 30 praets to him in the 90s...
Anyway thanks for your words charriu!

I think mjmd would have faired better if he had either waited for catapults or gone in earlier when we were more occupied with Ruff. He game quite close to breaking us though. He did not attack our capital with enough units or speed and failed at the first battle of Lemon. If he had ignored Raspberry and used those troops om the two other attacks both might have worked and then we would have had an impossible defensive situation.

totally true.
I misscalculated the amount of praets he had. He didnt have barracs, just 1 or 2. So if he would just come with 20 praets directly towards the capitol we would be done. We had just 8 units or so.
But he couldnt hit us before his praets i think We were on forced peace and he atacked us 3 or 4 turns after that ended. Also he took IW when we ended the forced peace so not really, also if he would started before making units we wouldnt start those wonders i think. We invested 300h on wonders that would be 10 axes almost.

Mjmd moved his stack from the surrounding of Pome, not sure if he is hiding it so he can try to atack the capitol. Well, if he is trying to do so i think we could have time to move all troops towards the cap. There is already some units going already, 2 galleys of Amica are arriving to the island, mjmd also have 2 galleys on raspberry. Im moving archers from the capitol making another cat soo there too and will whip more.
I am afraid mjmd is looking afraid to civac since cairo has just 1 city left, probably ending this turn or the next i guess. He has so little power. So maybe mjmd is moving to the other front. If thts the case i might ask for peace to amica and try to go to mjmd with civac. Since he is not doing any diplo with us im not sure of his intentions. Idk it seems weird not to make any diplo with me since ive been trying all the game. he might be mad at me for delaying some turns... but he seems to be the only one with that trouble in mind.

Mjmd showed a bit of stack again on lemon, i guess he was baiting. He moved several praets to kill our workers so i choped and killed 2 workers, moved the rest of the units on the hill.
Also the worker is going to chop the forest sugar so beautiful we have. Its going to be painful to my eyes, but i think it makes no sense to leave them those forest unchopped and those are 1 more unit to defend so i guess is worth. Also i ve been thinkng on sabotage our cottages so they get bare land but im not sure if thats ethic or legal.
Cairo survives this turn too! I think he has just his island which will take time to civac to make some galleys to bring troops there.
Talking about islands, amica just wants to get our, but i think he is going to need some time. Cat coming next turn and i guess i ll keep bringing troops from land. spears mainly since thats what can counter better amica.
Or should i sell it and stay fortify on the capitol?

I would not sell gooseberry unless the capitol is very threatened. It is still important for our economy and we are making -9 at 0%. The same with the cottages.
I totally agree with chopping the sugar both for instant production and for defense.

he is sitted on the silver so we are a bit down on gold for that too. We have 10 turns of gold for now, not sure if it will be enough for later one. Lasting 10 turns more feels incredibly lucky on our part.

I wouldnt ever think to last this much on a double dogpile!
amica doesnt like our try of putting everything on gooseberry and is moving 1 trirreme there, also loaded 4 more cats to put the walls down. Im trying to bring 2 more spears there and i whiped another one. Pobably will throw next turn the catapult to try to make the most dmg possible. But if he sit on the food our whiping will be the last.
Mjmd moved some units towards pome and i killed 2 praets on 65% ods although i had to delete one of those or he would recapture getting epx and GG points. It had 0,3hp so it had no sense to leave it there at all. I retreated the stack into the city where it ahs 50% defense bonus, he can claim the hill again but we cannot force there much more. The problem will be to stay with that stack on the capitol without the economy of PRO not sure if our economy will support that. right now im working cottages so we just lose 1 coin, but if we want to make more units we wont be able to work much commerce.
I am start getting tired of this situation and in some sense i want to stop playing, i think i have already achieved all i could in this game. And as i said several times, im proud of my paper on it. I drag down 2 neighbours and noble is going to win in 20-30 turns when he get cannons and amica wont be able to do anything. I saw mackoti writting on the lukers thread so gira is alone now and he wont be able to make anything against any of them nor civac nor noble. we will see. But it seems that civac is goign to eat mjmd or gira next, i have not the graphs of gira so i dont knwo how is his power, but probably is worse than mjmd. But gira has a larger empire and better on economy for sure. So i stillthink atacking mjmd would make more sense, maybe dogpile him with amica.

Crazy turn this one.
He is bringing everythign on small stacks, which is smart, We have some GG in range but im unsure if we should try to kill that stack, i feel that if we do we should move to the capitol and sell that city already. It would mean almost lose all axes we have left. We could maybe hold one more turn, idk. Do you think it would be worth?
The island has 4 more phants there, i suicided the galley to get 2 spears more there, but i think that city is lost in 2-3 turns.
