*cringe*

nukes would be more fun than this...

[SevenSpirits]

How high are your unit costs?

[Krill]

I'll reply when you post my start in my PB5 thread

[Krill]

On second thoughts, I'll just be nice so you maybe don't delete all my food resources...

So, I looked at Athens and it turned out that with only 57 marines and 15 GM on my part, I'd have to get rather lucky to beat the 28 inf, 2 marines, 6 tanks, 3 arty and 2 MG. So I shelved that part of the plan, and moved onto reclaiming oil. Turns out that I needed to sacrifice 480 hammers of GM to take out 676 hammers worth of inf (including 1 explorer). But I've probably expended a further 428 hammers cutting the RR on the hills, so mh can't just throw his tanks at me to reclaim the oil (note though he won't get odds on the G2 marines, on hills, with just C1+Pinch tanks).

Also, all those 1 turn tank builds...remember when I culture bombed the oil? I set my cities to build tanks, so I've had the prebuilds ready for 10 turns, waiting to retake the oil to reush buy the tanks...next few turns are going to see a drastic improvement in the size and viability of my airforce. All mh has atm is a shitload of inf, which don't exactly scare me as he doesn't even have a navy of much note to support them.

Now, Dazed, OTOH, he is going to have quite a lot of fun here. I can't stop him if he wanted to invade me, but he can just rebuild his economy and he'll likely end up even stronger than myself or mh.

I hate not having happy resources.

Current tactic is to try and get mh to split his defenders amongst a bunch more cities. I'm going to continue building marines I think, and try to control the oceans. I'm probably going to be using aircraft carriers and fighters as well...

Dazed is going to have fun though, I just offered him Aluminium (which he lacks) and Hit something for his hit something and spices. I really need happy res, and that is one of the reasons I'm going for Pergamon and Sicyon, if I can get them I'll take gold, which is another +2 happy in most cities...

[yuris125]

Yeah the map is very happiness-poor. Is there any chance you can get Hangzhou gold without capturing Greek cities?

[Krill]

Probably not. This is now an AW game as far as I'm concerned. I don't really have any interest in being nice to mh either, since he raised two of my useful cities. I actually see a glimmer of hope in this war now, caused mainly by the fact that 30 bombers will not be easy for mh to deal with: even with the air unit cap I can site them to threaten four different cities in Athens, Thebes, Knossos and his far eastern city which I just started the threaten this turn.

Go, Krill show us some war with knigs not only with tanks...

...Good enough?

[NobleHelium]

Knigs aren't marines or bombers, I'm afraid.
