[spoilers] novice & moon shoot the world

OK, Shoot, I need your opinion on this:



Looks like Mackoti is going to settle the plains hill. With Stonehenge, we'll need to whip an Obelisk in LL to keep our food. Fair enough, we can use one obelisk to produce a great prophet for a shrine, and LL will have enough food to do that.

But, what unit moves should we do this turn? There are lots of options, really.

The chariot on the hill is the one that killed our warrior, we can tell from the combat I promotion. Maybe we should attack it with our WC in LL? That would involve roading the cows this turn. Our WC has 70% odds on Mackoti's chariot. If we lose and leave his chariot quite healthy, or if he has another chariot, he could cause problems on the counteroffensive, though. For that matter it would be slightly risky if we win as well, since he could clean up with the warriors and possibly counterattack with a second chariot. We have a WC in Cupid, but it can't cover both the cows and the LL city tile.

So maybe our workers should just cottage for now, and we pile up more WC's in LL for now?

By the way, Gaspar is our western neighbour:



And I think maybe we should just slowbuild the settler in RH.

The problem is if we lose he captures our workers. Maybe simply move the WC in LL 1NE this turn and the one in Cupid into LL. Then move one worker to 1NE? I don't want both there as he'd likely take a 30% shot at two workers but with 1 we could put 1t into the road and cancel it then if we want be able to attack with 2 WCs next turn.

What are your plans for the war chariot in WT? I'd say maybe move toward LL? That way if we do attack we could still have that in the city to defend against possible chariots and workers in the fog? Need to remember he's India as well and can ninja road forests/hills.

We can do that although it would leave WT unhappy.

I kept our workers safe and moved our two WC's into LL, and moved the third WC from WT over as well.

Not sure unhappiness was worth it but oh well. Didn't see your post until now so my fault.

Forgot to mention that someone founded Hinduism on t41, after our t41. So either Seven (creative), Mackoti (stonehenge) or Gaspar. The borders we can see from Gaspar weren't visible on t41 and are from the second ring of a city NW of their gems. So this is probably the Hindu holy city.

I am so out of my depth doing tactical skirmishes against Indian Mackoti.

Looks like a good situation if he doesnt reinforce

Wasn't a long stretch of the incomprehensible PB3 Krill's War Chariots/workers vs. Rego's chariots/Fast Workers?
