[SPOILERS] Laconic plakonic

[plako]

No surprises here. Dhalphir has collected his stacks in the capital. This is pretty much what I wanted to happen i.e. have the desicive battle as soon as possible that gives more freedom to my knights to operate. Now I just had to hope I've enough when time comes to attack. He shouldn't get much reinforcements there after I've occupied the pig hill tile.

Head count:
4 Lbows
6 cats
6 axes
6 spears
1 warrior

Bombarded the city down to 5%. Walls would have been decent investment forcing me to bombard an extra turn. Dhalphir attacked out with cats. The problem is I've GG healer so most of the damage will be away next turn. I can definately take the city next turn. I need to figure out, if it would be wiser to wait for 1 extra turn and try to preserve as much as possible my strength.

Are you planning a total extermination of Dhal or are there certain cities you are uninterested in?

[plako]

I've reached easily my minimum goal and probably can also secure decent chuck of the Dalphir's south. I'll only continue building military in my 3 closest cities (siege) and go doing something else with other cities after current batch of units is finished.

I've no long term plans though. Winning this game is no longer in my hands. I need lots of help from other teams. However it is not totally impossible, so I'll try to still play wise, even if I don't want to use countless hours to do that.

Checked things out Dhalphir is using gold for upgrades. He had upgraded that warrior to spear.

Captured, but this was expensive

Doesn't look like you lost all that much. Catapults, a couple maces, 2 Knights, 1 Elephant? That's not so bad, all things considered.

[plako]

I lost 5 cats, 2 Knights, 3 Maces, WE and Chariot. Result wise I think this was pretty close to average one and I probably would be pretty happy with it in most cases, but here it is too little too late.

After healing a turn, Knight stack is heading to south while I rebuild Siege stack. At least that city with GG in it is on flat land.
