There are two reasons I would do this.
A) I would hope any units in the south might be teleported closer to the front line.
B) If Scooter razes all my cities I need OB with Azza to get TRs with other people and there's no way he signs peace without them.
Actually can I build a fort on the coast and have it act as a port for TRs...

I knew forts acted as cities for combat purposes but I didn't know they could serve as a port for trade route purposes. But I guess that makes sense as it fits with forts providing a port for connecting resources on islands within your territory, it's kind of the same idea. Knowledge!

Well that's my speculation, I'm not sure yet. Could be totally wrong.
Will play when I get home.

I don't think this works, I remeber back in Pitboss 10 THH tried to do this but apparently it failed.

I might attempt to make a stand at one of the southern coastal cities. Scooter has only one galley headed that way, atm. I have 4-5 rifles in the city so he'll need a second galley. I believe he's moved a bunch(most) of his grenadiers back onto his mainland so I might be able to hold one condensed coastal city down there. It also means I've force him to keep a major force on my border with me.
He attempted to sack my capital with a knight that had... the ability to move on my roads... I'm so tired I can't remember the name. Wow. Anyway he had bad odds. 23% ish I think? against my axe. It was a good shot, good try and I'll admit I got lucky there. But at least he's wasted a cool knight. Also to do so he left bacon standing. He left it empty. For now I'm not going to take it back. Going to wait until Scooter can't afford to keep units on galleons. I have plenty of time before the city is out of revolt.
I killed a grenadier that razed a city by Sacrificing a CKN and then hitting it with a knight. Good hammer trade! If you don't count the city. Let's call it a good power trade! instead.
Want to see how badly I've decimated the population?

All those 1 and 2 pop cities used to be 8-10 pop.  And remember this is RBMod so I'm not even getting great hammer returns. Thankfully all these cities have forges.
I feel a little bit bad for Scooter.  Not enough to stop though. Momma always said follow through.

haha. well at least we will have an effect on the winner of the game, even if we can't win ourselves. I like that  .
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Well he did attack us first... twice. As much as I'm trying to influence the game, we're technically only defending.

BTW just an observation about this game, but it is remarkably competitive for this stage of the game. I'm guessing a combination of map and mod and synergistic player/civ combos have led to this. Even though we're probably on our way out, I still am very happy about that.
I think Azza will survive to the end and outlast us.
