Big report coming.

SPOILER :
I'm going to take the city this turn.

I didn't take as many pictures as I should, sorry. Here was the situation when I opened the game.




I couldn't wait any longer, maces were coming. It was either attack now and hope that he doesn't have too many maces coming my way or retreat. But because I could take the city I attacked. First the catapults in (the ones attacking the mace attack with CR, the rest with barrage).
CR2 Cata vs mace 5.6% Loss 2 hits 6 collateral
barrage Cata vs sword 3% Flawless loss 6 collateral
Barrage Cata vs sword 3% retreat 2hits 6 collateral (yeah !)
Barrage Cata vs sword 3% loss 2 hits 6 collateral
Barrage Cata vs axe 11.8% Loss 0 hits 6 collateral
Barrage Cata vs axe 11.8% Loss 1 hit 4 collateral
Barrage cata vs axe 13.9% Loss 2 hits 5 collateral
CR1 cata vs axe 34.2% Loss 3 hits 4 collateral

I attacked the mace with my HA and won at 65% odds.




I then won every battle except for a 95% Axe vs Sword, they were all around 90-95%.
Here's the situation. I have 3 axes two chariots a spear and a wounded HA in the city, he has an axe and a sword in Nobamba, 2 cats 2 axes 2E1S of the city and 3 impi/1 mace in badman's river. Which means I could be hit by 2 cats 2 axes 3 impis, plus whatever he has in the fog 1E of B's R. I killed his healer chariot GG losing a 50/50 chariot duel then cleaning up with another one. We both got GGs in this battle, his was when his GG won the 50/50...





Anyway I sent him this (I think city trading were accepted in the game rules if they're part of a peace deal)




I really wanted to send CH this (Aachen Vienna and Augsburg are the closest cities to Agent he has) but I think it's forbidden by game rules. But the drop he'll notice in a few turns in Agent's power might be enough to get him on my side.

Agent whipped 32 points this turn. I don't think he took the offer...

Bad dedlurker/mentor! Look ye at yonder tech.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

Is that better? Seems rude to me...

Yeah crossbows will be needed. Should I start whipping heavily ?

It looks like he whipped four times, so I think you want at least four to six CBs there in the next three turns, more if he whips more next turn. How quick can you boat over ones that get built at the Moai and MoM cities? I guess at a push you could upgrade Archers, but that's a bit wasteful and it doesn't look like you've got any anyway.

Did you check on the demos screen before and after attacking the stack - its always nice to see how much power someone loses when you attack them! A power graph in a turn when the dip shows up would be good too. smile

Also didn't you get the option to raze the city? mischief Getting cultural borders for that city would be a big help, but I can't think of a way to do it fast enough outside of Caste so I think Walls should be the first build.

Congrats on the werewolf game by the way - sounded stressful!

Edit: Actually he's whipped nine times in the last three turns, so I'd get every city onto crossbow builds and all your boats on ferry duty!

Unfortunately he has a trireme coming my way so ferrying isn't a long term option (until I get some of my own in the area).

In my third game I get attacked 1v1 by the forum administrator. I wouldn't wish that to anyone scared

I wanted to raze it but I need to heal :/
If PB18 isn't taking all of your time I'd appreciate you logging in to see if I've missed something.
