[SPOILERS] Jowy & Stampy

[Jowy]

Changed my mind, building scouts instead of chariots.
They are cheaper, and there won't be barbs where we're going.
Also we can trade away the horses without stopping our chariot mid way through.

[Jowy]

Didn't get another offer from Cornflakes ;__;
So I sent him one, 300 gold for our horses.

[Jowy]

No ships near AT core cities. Another spy is checking out the south one which should reveal most of the sea as well.
AT offered a trade, his whales for our last wine. I accepted, in order to rebuild relations.
He will never trust me and I will never trust him though.

Maybe you could get a great spy and steal some techs.

Maybe you could get a great spy and steal some techs.

Good idea, but too slow. It would take 100 turns to generate a Great Spy. Maybe 50 turns if we want to corrupt the pool, but then it'd be a coin flip on whether we even get a Great Spy at the end of it.

Our best chance to get techs would be to trade our allegiance for techs. Declare war on player A, for techs from player B. However, AT owns nearly all the techs and we know he values them very highly (wouldn't sign peace for 2 techs). So I fear there's not much we can do except wait for rifles to conquer us eventually.



Jackpot. Let's slave some pikes.
I'll keep following the knights.

[Jowy]

I lost the knights, they are too fast for my spy.
I did figure out where they are from though.
They are the same 4 knights he had on my border earlier.

I have 7 pikes ready. But I don't want to build any more of them without knowing what I'm facing.
Those should be enough to deter any small scale surprise naval attack.

News from the world, everyone is now at peace.
Kudos to Cornflakes, he managed to hold off a 1v3 attack!
Well, he lost a shit-ton of cities, but he had a lot to start with, so he's still competitive.

Wow! 2 gold, pigs, horses. What a city!

[Jowy]

Found the knights again. Seems we are safe from AT for now.
Bigger is bringing some musketeers back home, but not enough for an invasion against us.
Probably just spreading them around now that the war is over.



I took the deal. We don't need iron anymore, got more than enough pikes. We could use the resources.
Also there's an additional treat.. Those who were just in war with Cornflakes might not want him to have iron.
They can pay me off to cancel the deal

[flugauto]

AT looks like a techleader, he might be tre next wartarget. Maybe you could ask AT to gift you your cities back?

[Jowy]

I'm sure he'll happily agree
