[SPOILERS] scooter, pindicator, and Huayna Capac try some fast Zulu cuisine

[regoarrarr]

Can we get an overview shot?

[pindicator]

Can we get an overview shot?

Sure!

Bare map:





With ships highlighted:

Our forces:
Blue circles = caravels
Green rounded squares = galleys

SlowCheetah forces:
Red circles = caravels
Orange rounded squares = galleons, unless stated as galleys

Numbers refer to stacked ships on that tile. The 'S' denotes the caravel carrying our spy

I thought spies had no visibility? Or is that code for a sentry unit?

Spies have visibility on the tile they are on, which means they can still catch visibility on 3 tiles per turn in slowcheetah's territory.

There is one in Paris right now that you can see from the visibility we have on the city tile. Every turn it moves between Orleans and Paris to see what is inside both of those cities.

Scooter - we should decide what we're going to do with this other spy. I think either Trafalgar, or going all the way to slowcheetah's main island are the two best options

Oh wait, this is still about scooter in pb5?

This is always about PB5.

[regoarrarr]

But what does a spy on a caravel do that a caravel itself would not do? Do you unload it in cities and have it move around?

I'm sorry, but how did you guys make it to Astro before Sloww could move Galleons to your (stolen) island? Seriously, how did you get that many beakers?

FWIW, Slow and Commodore are literally the only people who got Astro before us. Commodore got it roughly 6-7T ahead of us, Slow about 3-4T ahead of us. We really did just beeline it. Slow has Education, Feudalism, Guilds, and we have none of those things. Commodore has those + Printing Press. If Slow was going for the all-out kill, I am a little mystified as to why he wasted time getting Education before Astro.

Pretty unfortunate that the only two people to beat us to Astro are also the only two people who are likely to threaten us with Galleons. /sigh

Yep. Walking it around on his land to try to find a stack of units that are about to load up. We did it earlier hoping we could know the exact time he starts whipping Galleons since he's massively outspent us in EPs so we have 0 intel on him besides techs + Civstats.

Hey man, don't be hating on everyone else just because you settled on deer.
