Turn 37
I am greeted to the message that Early Empire has been boosted, along with two notifications that I’ve been attacked by Lisbon. I take care of city management first, putting the second citizen at Cant Get There From Here at work on the forested grassland hill tile. Up at Lisbon perhaps the best case scenario has occurred – the warrior moved west and attacked my southern unit, redlining itself, and the slinger has moved out of the Pantanal, exposing itself to attack:
Well, if you insist...southern Eagle Warrior attacks the slinger, killing it and capturing a builder. Other Eagle Warrior attacks the warrior, killing it and...capturing a builder. I reveal a barbarian warrior in the process (2 NE of the slinger’s position in the screenshot), so I’ll need to keep that unit in mind as it may go into pursuit mode. Lisbon has not finished its granary yet.
The plan for assault here is for the NW Eagle Warrior and builder to move to the iron. The eastern Eagle Warrior will move south next to the pasture and stop to heal for two turns. On Turn 39 the Eagle Warrior on the pasture moves to the marsh while the builder continues to Welcome. On Turn 40 I will attack the city proper with all three units, Turn 41 attack with two while the third pillage-heals the farm and then finish the city off on Turn 42.
The slinger crosses the river and the builder at Welcome moves SE of the city. I was going to position this one for a chop but instead I’m going to move to the plains west of the city center and farm that next turn, completing Craftsmanship. I should have 25 on that turn so I’ll be able to swap policies into Agoge and Urban Planning to help speed the unit building. One of the captured builders will chop the plains forest, farm it and drop its last charge into the Encampment. The other builder will conduct repairs at Lisbon, mine the iron and then come down here, mine the copper and put a charge into the Encampment as well. Welcome will finish the second slinger and get to work on the Encampment. I want to have the discount available for Campus districts when Writing comes in.
Begin the Begin has finished its slinger, I start the Encampment there and move the slinger towards Preslav to assist with the builder farming. Six turns to completion and the State Workforce boost. I move my Eagle Warrior southwest and reveal a Preslavian slinger. Excellent, as that’s a 100% capture chance. The slinger and EW will attack the warrior next turn and then I'll go clean up the slinger. Once I get a builder down here I’ll use it to quarry one of the stone resources so that I can complete Masonry. I want to build a battering ram and get that on the move north once the Encampment completes.
rho21 has finished a district and has taken the lead in military power. I’ll find out next turn what district type it was. No sign of walls or a garrison in Egypt though his military power is up to 52.
