You Just Lost Thug Aim

[pindicator]

Lewwyn, what do you think about swapping Joao to Vassalage after teching Feudalism? He has a lot of unit costs. I know the military needs are pretty big for him, but a few markets and courthouses could probably go a long way as well.

Darius is looking really strong. But Joao is the last place civ, by a lot of metrics

[Lewwyn]

Yes Joao needs markets and courthouses. Part of why its last place is that we don't have enough luxes to grow the cities taller. So actually darius expansion will aid that tremendously by bringing more happy into the fold. Next turn darius will complete the spice road on the west continent and get a native spice so that joao get +1 happy.

I think vassalage is a great idea and if we could swap to vassalage, Hr and OR all at once I think that would be tremendous, btu I'm not sure if thats going to take 2T of anarchy or how far in the future that would be.

Joao still needs more military. We need to reinforce the 4H city if we keep it and then need to get a few more units to prepare for a possible praet invasion. So it is a tough balance.

The one joao city in the south is all cottages and already has a market though. Its building a courthouse now and should be a great source of gold as the cottages mature. The moai city needs stone but I am sending a settler for stone right now. just need the confu missionary to get there to pop the second ring for the stone as well and the workers to get everything hooked. I think we need more galleys, but I haven't been able to yet.

[Lewwyn]

Your military screens are off. The first one is Darius the second one is both civs together.

Thanks for the comprehensive update, Pindicator More detail on how the conflict with S&M has been going is welcome.

I think Lewwyn hit the limit of his tree knowledge [/spoiler]

Forgot to rename it. I know more!


Can you also get some screens of the bountiful land we want to settle? And some screens of the 4H battlesite? I want opinions on dotmapping and on whether Joao should keep the city or raze it if he takes it.

[Lewwyn]

I was suspicious when I saw the red block on Peony's city screen. Thought it might be the 4H galley... And it is! Out of moves and right next to our trireme! It will DIE! And as an added bonus will die in our imperialistic borders!

Going to start growing Rose too. Swap over from phmine to farm and it grows in 4T. then farm another grassland, grow to 7 work the mines again. Missionary still finishes in 1T.

4H is tryign to decide what to do about their city. It has:
1 CG2 archer
1 chariot
2 spear
and walls on a hill.

We have
5-6 cats
5 axes
1 chariot
1 spear

I don't think they can reinforce adequately even if they dry whip. They may retreat the units and give up the city.

The question is if I want the city on the hill, which is okay... or do I ant to raze and settle 1S so that it gets a port, lighthouse and 4 lighthouse lakes. The city is surrounded by plains so its kind of shit and only really has plains sheep for food. On the one hand 1S is a stronger city, on the other the hill plant is safer (I need to get an archer there ASAP in either case).

Look at me updating. God its Saturday and this is the first time I've had legit free time in 2 weeks.

Push hard for stone, that's huge. Walls, MOAI, little extra boosts...it needs to be inducted stat.

If we get good infra, keep 'er, otherwise, resettle and give to Darius.

Also, I helped the tree issue.
