[Spoilers] REM and AdrienIer's thread of football, spamming and blaming it on the mod

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

Sorry, nights atm so pretty out of it a lot of the time - not the best for forward planning!

Just played the turn. The turn before had an interesting development of 5 galleons standing in range of MCG, EA and WS, so I had to rejig the defences a bit. Subsequently, not as many units in MCG, not that I think we could have saved it.

From the positioning of the galleons and the amount of troops NE of MCG I think he emptied the galleons there, so I moved all the knights into MCG. Otherwise I sat tight and whipped if possible. In hindsight I should have turned on autopromote but that would have been minimal help really. Our saving grace is he only has 6 cannon 2 cata, although the cannon will get good odds and so probably survive, and he can bombard with the frigates anyway.

Oh and he has cavalry next turn to mop up.

[AdrienIer]

Not a problem, it's just better if you can tell me ahead of time (not really possible I suppose).

We'll know next turn, if we see two or three city captures in civstats it means the galleons weren't emptied. You gave everyone their current promos I guess, did you have any interesting choices ?

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

No no hugely interesting promos. He has little siege, so drill isn't very useful and I don't expect to be able to attack back out. So standard City defender promos. Put the cats with drill as felt it was a bit pointless attacking out with them.

As the turn only rolled a short while ago in unlikely to be able to play this one very timely. Work in 30mins to get to

[AdrienIer]

Problem is... Unless GJ plays very soon I won't be able to play it either, and won't be able to until saturday morning.

[AdrienIer]

GJ took the city. His casualties are two cannons at the start and that's it. The rest was all 80%+ except for a sword vs hwacha fight that he won at about 60%. It's a race between us and Donovan to see who's dying first, he's down to 5 cities I think. Furungy is also in the race if Gawdzak continues the attack (only looked at the combat log, not the even log).
From what I read in his PB18 thread a gold appeared in GJ land as well. Good for him.

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

That's pretty grim overall. I think we will be around as fast as his 1 move rifles can make it to cities. He can bomb down before he gets there then galleon the troops over. Should be mercifully quick

[AdrienIer]

GJ's not marching towards us, I think he's healing. He's attacking Furungy who's down to 2 cities, I think we'll outlive him (but maybe not Donovan).

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

That's odd. He can see the amount of units we have in EA. It should hardly pose a challenge for his guys! He must be really eating war weary with the 2 wars going on.

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

GJ still holed up in MCG. 5 galleons outside EA, although I dunno if there is anything on them as MCG seems pretty full.

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

Oh and with the forgein TRs again we are like 8 turns from astro...

Wish I hadn't burnt the GG now
