[SPOILERS] The Rise of Lewger: A BacoN of Bacon Revenge (bacOn bAcoNbAcon) Bacon

[Lewwyn]

I forgot to mention that I proposed open borders to Commodore. Was there a reason we didn't have that earlier?

Nope.

[Bigger]

logged in before Azza just to get the lay


longbow in river. Good. only 5 knights and 2 HA can reach. martha will fall .

[Lewwyn]

We can hold Martha, right?

[Bigger]

I think so. as long as I have a steady stream of pike and knights coming in, he can't afford to empty his capital.

maybe not jack though, I should have razed it grr

[Lewwyn]

Well depends on the culture. You might be able to pillage the roads to jack so that he'd have to go a longer route and be vulnerable in the open field. That would likely mean pilllaging some cottages, but take a look at it. Maybe even the sentry chariot can get the road on the plains near his capital.

sentry chariot is in the north, btw. it granted me extra vision of 3 tiles I was blind too Azza could have stuck troops in, helped none in the south.



Azza was smart here and evacuated his stack to the capital. Lewwyn was helpful in a few ways here .
so this makes taking out the south and east easy, but will make assaulting the capital or further gains more difficult. I was hoping he would attack w/ the knights :/


no market, but its something


also 3 knights and 2 HA in Donna. Lewwyn was right to be cautious about Bacon!. I positioned 3 pikes and a mace so they can move to Bacon! in one turn, also left the 3 knights in Amy (now bac0n with a zero). also producing pikes and knights everywhere, have 1 more moving into Bacon! or bac0n next turn from the north.


the square with the axe is the square Azza would have to go through to reach Captain jack. it was barely a hamlet, so not too painful - pillaged the cottage and roads with 2 axes and a spear (to keep him honest, from hitting the stack w/ horse archers). once I've killed the galleys in the straights I can lightly defend jack now and focus on defending Martha. I moved 3 pikes and a spear (I actually spent money to upgrade one spear, was nervous), 2 injured maces, the injured knight, and an injured axe (all barely injured) into martha. then I moved 3 maces, 3 cats, and the cho-ku, all uninjured, down towards river, which currently has a longbow and a chariot defending it. If necessary/safe, one knight from bac0n/amy can move down and hit on the same turn *next* turn. the last city is size 1 and only has a warrior defending so it should be easy to raze.


Azza is the darker orange, the light orange at the bottom is Bacchus


thats why Azza is whipping and we're not. I only whipped once (the longbow on the border w/ Scooter, last turn I could 2 pop whip and wanted to overflow into theatre next turn when I have drama).

research wise I am 1 turning aesthetics, drama, lit, paper, then dumping overflow into printing press. really need help w/ our economy. I've started 1 scientist in the capital to get the GS to bulb half of education, I'll do 2 at some point. I'll probably research gunpowder after printing press.

Lewwyn, what should I do with this guy?

4

if we want a medic 3 I'm going to have to build a scout. (scouts can upgrade to explorers when we have that tech right?). Or I can make a decisio on future heroic epic city and join him to that city.

[Lewwyn]

Scout medic 3 is great. You should get a cat or two to Bacon! So that you have some cheap collateral there too.

[Bigger]

I've got one cat there now. 2 more in Amy I can move over there.

[Lewwyn]

Looks good. Need to start thinking about National Epic and churning out a bunch of great people. We'll need one for Edu, but we could use another for a GA at some point and other bulbs. Any thoughts on that? Where would you go for NE?
