[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

[scooter]

Pindicator, here's the spot I was talking about on Bigger's east coast.



Here's the whole east side for reference.



I'll probably let the lurkers twist in the wind and wonder what I'm referring to. :P

Anyway, we talked a little last night and made general plans. The short of it is in the next few turns we're going to do our little shake-down of Bacchus, as well as try to hit TBS with Grenadiers. We'll see what happens after that. This is all assuming mackoti accepts our re-offered peace as we're assuming he will. Here's our current military:



We're up to #4 in the world, and we know mackoti and Old Harry are 2 of the people above us. I'm not sure who the 3rd is (I'm guessing Ichabod), but our other immediate neighbors are all definitely below us. Given the state of things, I fully expect the fireworks to continue.

[Ituralde]

Woot!

Viking Naval Invasion Time!

[Mardoc]

I like fireworks

[scooter]

Confirmed that we have peace with mackoti.

[scooter]

Took a few more minutes in-game. Mackoti ALSO made peace with Old Harry. Wow.



That is not expected - to me anyway. Civstats says he took a city from Old Harry too, but I'm not quite sure which one. Anyway, we may be in a race to take TBS with Mackoti:



I think that's a race we should be able to win. This may mean prioritizing western Zerk upgrades over Bacchus Zerk upgrades, though. I'll be around tonight.

[pindicator]

Constitution in 2t? He's going for econ. Maybe he'll attack with the remnants of his fleet, but we have a chance to go.for the free GS at physics now

[scooter]

Turn 182

Tired, late, so quick report. New city founded.



Saving gold for some Zerk upgrades. Here's our builds:





Spent some time talking about tech path, and we decided to stay the course on Steel despite Mack's apparent change of heart.

scooter: you knowwwwww
attacking bigger could net us the confucian shrine - the religion we've been so dutifully spreading
and wall street unlocks at corp

pindicator: that is one thing i've thought in favor of attacking him
let's just go war war war, that'll be fun

scooter: it's the #2 religion in the world
above even hindu
see with the units we can field, I don't even think it's a terrible idea
warwarwar that is

Somehow I've been talked from declaring war on Commodore to declaring war on every neighbor except Commodore

[antisocialmunky]

He's trying to avoid his Commodore Curse.

[NobleHelium]

Steel is good. Build Ironworks if you can.
