[SPOILERS] Laconic plakonic

[Dhalphir]

Are you at the point yet where my captured assets are very profitable for your empire?

[Dhalphir]

Also, do you have graphs on the top players?

Are you at the point yet where my captured assets are very profitable for your empire?

Are you hoping "yes" out of pride for your former empire, or "no" out of vengence against your executioner?

[plako]

The cities were itself profitable right after getting out of revolt. I haven't calculated anything, but I also feel the investment has already paid itself out. I'll see grpahs next time I log in.

I'm now in a bit of a trouble. I'm not sure if I want to decalre on Bacchus this turn or not. The problem is that I was acting after Bacchus last turn and now I need to wait for him to play before making a desicion concerning war declaration. In case he hasn't done that tomorrow morning I'll probably just play and declare turn after the current one. Rifling is in so that is decent alternative since I could do few upgrades to Rifles and Cavalries before attacking next turn.

Declared war against Bacchus. Captured Forsaken. Bacchus is pillaging his own land . One of my least favorite neighbors.

Some graphs:

Las turn I invested some EPs to gain research visibility for Bacchus. Seems to be heading towards Rifling. Too late I'm afraid. Assuming he would have wanted to maximise annoyance (that seems to be his overall goal ) Nationalism would probably have been more useful.

[Dhalphir]

Man, I'm all in favour of a scorched earth policy when it comes to the cities themselves, but pillaging improvements is a big step further.

Any war turns to report yet?

[plako]

T1 - captured the island city Forsaken with Amphibious units (mainly muskets). Bombarded with 3 Frigates. Lost 2 units (if I remember correctly both were Muskets) that was average RNG result. Although there was fair chance to get it through with just 1 lost unit.

T2 - Moved in position to capture you former city of Chau Sara. Moved 1 mover stack 1SE of it in the hill and 2 mover stack 1NE of it. Both stacks have a tad over 20 units in them and the units Bacchus has in the area won't have good odds to either one of them. I also moved couple of units to cut the route between your former ities and their core. I want to prevent him retreating anything and kill his Chau Sara stack ASAP.

T3 (this turn) - I'm waiting for Bacchus to play. Most of my Cannons are not yet in the frontlines so I can't bombard and and cause sufficient collateral damage at the same turn so I'll probably just bombard and attack T4. 2-movers are in range to hit city north from Chau Sara so that probably falls (It had just 1 Numidian Cavalry defending last turn).

t4->... Capture your former cities and collect massive stack to go against Bacchus core.

Some pictures from each war turn would be awesome even if you don't have the interest to write anything to accompany them.
