[Spoilers] The Network assimilates ipecac, Ruff_Hi & Dreylin (Monty of Vikings)

[Dreylin]

Whosit took 3 cities off Grimace Grimace has Hwacha's so it'll be an interesting fight. Let's hope Elum piles in.

Yay, more breathing room!

Now about Adrien....

[Ruff_Hi]

Of course, Archer pre-builds, etc.

I could be wrong ... but can't you build archers and longbows at the same time? I don't often bee line longbows.

Depends on whether you guys have Machinery and Iron.

If you have Machinery and Iron, with Feudalism archers auto upgrade into crossbows.

If you don't have Machinery and Iron, with Feudalism, archer builds will stay as archers.

[Dreylin]

... which we confirmed this turn, unfortunately.

Now about Adrien....

He has Feudalism, so attack window is kind of closed until Berserkers. As it is we'll be scrambling to get enough LBs against Elum.

[ipecac]

You lurkers will be thrilled to know that we have declared on Adrien. Whether this is I don't know, but it'll certainly make things interesting.

Putting 3 workers within attacking range is too much, really. And it's likely to be a phony war since we both just got Feudalism, and have much more trouble on other borders.

[ipecac]

Adrien killed the Axe at AP, but the Axe+Spear at Hsung Nu lives, so we keep 1 Worker. He offered a 10T peace treaty, which is really a very good outcome for us since it secures one front and allows us to focus on defence against Elum, , so I'll accept if you've no objections.

[Dreylin]

Sounds good; we can also get some Work done in the NE & SE without worrying about sniping. So what was the final tally?

We killed 3 of his workers, and 1 Galley. In return we deleted 1 Chariot and gained a Worker, and another promotable trireme..

Logged in to see the peace request disappeared. Oh well, not a big deal, I reoffered it. We turn on Science for Construction.

Misc: Elum got Great Merchant. CH has Paper, and is up CoL, CS, Calendar, HBR, IW, Construction, Machinery, while we have Meditation, Monotheism, Monarchy, Feudalism.

[ipecac]

We are at peace with Adrien. CH just got Alphabet and offeredq OB, I accept and we get an increase of >15 cpt.

Misc: Johns birthed a GM.
