[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

Ok it's pretty rare that I disagree with much of what you say, so let's discuss. lol

Emptying the city was smoke -sorry if that's blunt (pun!) but it's true. If Bacchus doesn't accept now we have given him a city for free and no reason to accept the enforced 10t peace deal. Taking the worker away was definitely the right call, though.

I don't really agree, because we're talking about 20% cultural defenses against well-promoted and buffed Numids. He very likely gets odds on the archer, and the longbow probably only takes out one unit. In that case, I think it's better to preserve units since we have so few this area at the moment, and we're building attackers, not defenders, so that situation won't improve anytime soon. Killing Numids is not going to be a problem for Zerks, but I don't want to light a longbow on fire here for no reason given our distinct lack of them on the islands.

Quote:If he did that i'd be very happy. That meand he put those resources outside of his war against OldHarry. But he didn't. He burned gold at 100% sci to tech chemistry. No need to be so paranoid about mackoti, our troubles are closer to home right now.

He's down to only a few hundred gold, and he had like 2K a few turns ago, so he definitely spent money on upgrades. To be clear, I'm not worried about him invading us, I'm worried about him sinking our fleet and blockading our lightly defended coast since we we don't have slavery to respond quickly.

Quote:Very uneasy. We need to swap everything to military as builds finish.

I think it's just Bigger doing Bigger things, but I'm more curious what you mean specifically by this. Every city that has barracks + decent production is tabbed for military already, and all Bigger's units are in the deep south. So I'm more curious what additional cities you want on military. (I'm not disagreeing as much as I'm just seeking clarification here)

Upgrades:
1. I saw him at 1200g last turn and 1600g the turn before
2. If he's.using upgrades on anything but his current war then that's his gamble to take. I find it very unlikely

Military:
I thought we were only discussing eastern cities before. If we're already set to switch everything over for a round of military then yay

Bigger:
Lets just not take any unnecessary risks...

Real quick, I logged in to this:

I don't turn down 12gpt, so I accepted it. Anyway, we'll still probably want this back because the city is more economically useful to us than him (free market will do that and corporation will reinforce it), but at least we're not really losing any commerce for the now and the buildings are still intact (he accepted our peace offer). This does make me feel like I"m in much less of a rush to take this thing back.

He did promptly turn around and leave with the Numids unsurprisingly. Nice thing is Bears will let us watch and see what he does with this.

He knows he poked the bear. Don't let him off easy. Last thing we need to do is encourage fhis behavior

Can we get a snapshot of the summary city screen(s) once everything that you plan to have building military is in fact doing so? (I guess that's next turn?)

Agreed, I don't want this setting a precedent. Nice to at least get paid for the rental of our city, though.

Call him and tell him that you want the Lombardi trophy back.

scooter: we said the other day if the broncos won the super bowl, we'd change the name to broncos when we got it back
but then the super bowl killed that joke idea
antisocialmunky: You should have named it 'Broncos' because it went down without a fight.
scooter: there we go
that'll be our reason to change the name

Broncos it is, right?

Earlier I suggested Jets for a city that got captured by another civ and then recaptured, but that works too. smile
