[Spoilers] REM and AdrienIer's thread of football, spamming and blaming it on the mod

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

On this size map I reckon distance would explain why some of the TRs are 5 commerce. But that is rather nice! I also see that we are not last on the board again! Woo :P Plako looks like he is a contender for the game too tbf actually...

GJ is going for engineering, not sure too much what to make of that. I would have thought they would want to push curs for an attack? Unless they need the road movement. Perhaps with their army out of sight and Dreylin posturing on the island we should boslter the western defence? Although it would take a lot of galleys to do anything meaningful from their side to our core.

I like the northern expansion, that's good work there. Also I love the barbs making those roads to nowhere!

I think the esp slider is best left alone unless you go esp economy (which isn't relevant on this mod anyway) we would get so little from it. Edu is useful for us, or we could probably stay competitive with military techs if we went pure military and forgot eco techs into the muskets and curs era...

[AdrienIer]

I don't think Dreylin can really do anything for now, we might have to upgrade the archers to longbows in case he attacks with maces but that's it. Here's the barb defense in the north.




I'm all for going CS Paper Education now.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Is that two barb workers on the desert hill or just one?

[AdrienIer]

Two. I think it means there's another barb city in the north and the barbs are coordinating efforts, but I'm not sure.

[AdrienIer]

GJ declared war on Furungy again. I hope it'll give us an opportunity, the spy will arrive in a few turns to take a look.

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

Excellent! Although I doubt he could have moved huge amounts of his stack from near us to there, we can indeed hope

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

Also re the barbs, no matter the distance they will construct hugely elaborate road networks to connect any cities that they have, so there will be another one somewhere in that direction!

[AdrienIer]

First things first :

I sent back spice for incense because I felt kind, we don't have any happiness issues but he's still a neighbor so why not.




Well thank you very much ! We currently have 5 of those, and are building 4 more, and are going to be building lots of them in the near future. So thanks you, game !




GJ took 2 of Furungy's westernmost cities. And I take this as a message to back off. Scout is almost in position to know if we will indeed back off.




And did you know, our GNP on 100% research is actually n°4 in the world ? My interpretation is that everyone is going 0% this turn so we're coming off as super strong due to our researching a double prerequisite tech that everyone else has.




I think we can also decide to go 0% research from CS on and upgrade our HAs into knights, if we indeed take GJ in the rear while he's off playing with Furungy.

[AdrienIer]

GJ took another of Furungy's cities, next turn if the spy finds his stack at our borders (I'm certain there's one hiding) and it's small enough we're declaring war. Units are in position.




I don't think the conditions will be met but you never know.

[AdrienIer]

Here's what's visible :







Nothing on the wheat. What do you think ? We might have a chance but I'm not sure.
