{SPOILERS} 2metra, Dreylin & OT4E. This is the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

[Dreylin]

OK, going to try to keep this turn straight and follow the directions correctly...

Finished the domestic moves first. Took you at your word and queued a Chariot in 54. Whipped the Chariot in Samarkand. Enough Workers heading for the Silks to have the first connected next turn. Not sure what to do with the Axes at Maryland and 1SW on Sheep; left the new one in the city for MP and left the other in place (it was Fortified, but I woke it up incase that was a mistake).

The earliest that the Galleys get back to pick up is t109, so I continued the Settler moving NW incase we change our mind about destination - it can still easily get back for pickup, but now could also be directed to Front.

Here's the picture:


He probably should have deleted that Worker; if I can save a Chariot to grab it I will.
Burn the city:


Send Chariot against Archer - Withdraws without doing any damage.
Well that was unexpected! Axe in at 7.3% Wins!?!?


Nothing in the city; started a Granary.
I unloaded 2 additional Axes into the city and captured the Worker with the spare Chariot.

What's the planned dotmap for this island? (sorry if I missed it already being discussed)

[Dreylin]

What's the planned dotmap for this island? (sorry if I missed it already being discussed)

Let's see if I know it....

Westernmost point - grabs Crabs in Maryland's 3rd ring and Cows
Southernmost point - 2x Seafood and the Sugar

Only Signal will be exposed to the East and uses most of the tiles without much overlap. I'm guessing we'll put Moai out here in one of these, but we haven't discussed yet.

Just sayin' hello, I will be a dedicated lurker in this thread to help on my civ addiction while I have no time to invest playing a game myself
Great going btw, you invasion worked out nicely so far.

[OT4E]

Hi MZ! Thanks for sharing your attention

[OT4E]

REM/AI proposes peace treaty. Do we want to accept it now or want to guarantee 10 turns of peace a bit later?

[OT4E]

Dtay got Calendar and 2 silks, he has +91 gpt.
REM/AI got +105. We finally met Gavagai and btw he has +105 too.

We are deadly behind with all these preparations. Need to catch up.

[OT4E]

I have an idea. Since plako sees our research. We need to prepare some overflows. No matter if we are going for Theology or not. We'd better hide our intentions as much possible.

[OT4E]

Ok, at T111 we can hit with 8 chariot. I have done some movements. But we must still decide are we going to have peace with REM right now. Anyway we need to turn 1 galley back, bring settler and spear.

[2metraninja]

Great job on executing the attack, Dreylin. They never saw it coming

About peace with REM/AI, so far I was right they will bend easily. But here comes the right question from Ot4e - do we want those 10 turns of peace now or later? And if they are so quick to bend, cant we go on further as they are so vulnerable right now they fear that we push further?

I think best thing now would be to just make peace now. This is to give the slightest chance REM/AI go back to their peaceful way outright and say to themselves: "We were quite daring and optimistic in settling this island and not even caring to defend it proper, so we deserved to lose it"
