hi Darrel.
I have 6 cities and will setle another one in 2 turns .I know is slower then Dtay for example with 8 ,but I am not a big fan of dtay openings with small cities working just 1-2 tiles, and more then that he ahd agresive which is alitle better fot openning(cheap barack for culture and maybe waroiur dont die as easily, I lost one at 1% and in 2 turns another one at 9,9% which are the odds for something like taht to happen...) .
As i said i get my capitol is size 8 working 2 hamlets and some fresh cotages , i already ahve an academy and my science at full trotle is like 75 beakers/t.
To no drag the game even more as i said i need a sub for next turn. Pass is roxi and this are the thigs to do:
Research to math.
move chariot from deal on ivory tile and start a HA there.
move chariot from CTp on silver tile and start a HA there.
Orleans starts a HA.
Whip granary in lions.
If someone moves axes to treaten the spear worker pair ask for a pause please.same if someone declare war and has a unit near by.
TY.
PS: Play after aretas and cairo as i kept a turn order with them till now.
I hate this game. After i lose a 99% , 91 % in my favour , and won 99 one but i remained with 0,1 health , i belived that abd luck ended, but wasnt the case, after this one take 70% with my Ha and lost again and even worse i have 2ha to aatck 1 archer in a city with 20% culture and city defence 1 , of course first Ha atacks and lost again ,althought had 50% odds between retreat an victory, second had 44% victory and some 20 retreat and dies again.
I got out of game, i will gather power ovwer night to finish turn.
In better news I am near Aretas and i got his capitol and second city were both granaries survived.and i found rusten.oh joy(this is not beter new is just news),i wanted to do an update but sincerly this freaking bad luck is big turn off.
because i Won a 10 % batle I feel like doing an update. After that the rols werent that great but i still take it, I lost 3 axes and one HA to kil 2 axes, 1 spear, 1 archer in hill city with 20%.The lucky win got my winning HA at 10 experience so i can use that for heroic epic and just setle the general for 2 promo swords or 2 promo cats.
How was this war? I started preparation for aretas but quick i realized someone will be behind Aretas so i need more power to protect what i get, and when i got second city suprize there a Rusten city practicaly at minimum distance from that, and he ahs 4 culture libraries so the city i got would have been no good, Rusten is very advanced, got oracle ,the wonder for experience so was a good time to call his 'farmer gambit', if he gets in revenge mod(which is 90% i would do) well both will lose momentum and Tbs will get again a win(see that pitboss were OH decided to defend real muffin from my invasion and practicaly handed the game to TBS).
Here are some pictures with the empire.As you see this turn I am finishing curency and I am 4 turns from setling my second island city.Like big techs I will have next turn: Curency, math and HBR.
And here is a pick with the capitol and some thoughs about the game.
Next turn get mysticis for some cheap culture build, and after 4 turns to get calendar so i can grow largwe becasue all my cities besidecapitol have 2-3 unhappy face becasue of whiping.
With Rusten I am happy with what i got becasue i feel my gains are protecteda nd i am cosiderin offering peace.After his reactio i will know if ther is need for more military or not.
Very beatiful i might say and already have 2 cities to help with growing cotages.As you havae seen i have a second academy in former aretas capitol for quicker borders pop and I am considerig get this city as well to size 11-12 Asap.
About neighbours a litle bit.Who the heck is nafragar?, he is not newb for sure , he reacted promtly at my power growth , he is poking my bordesrs constatly , and he ahs agreat leader compared with mine for example i pay 24 gold for civics right now from my experience with Org(and i do have alot) HE IS PAYING 8-9 GOLD considering at max tax i do like 26 gold turn , 16 is alot.I might say he playsa great game and is not easy conquest(too bad).
cairo plays decent but he is no level will naufrgrar.Aretas played very poor(sorry man that i say that, you can read sulla walktrow or seven or krill to improve playing),you might say his conquest gave me a big advantage, but its not like that, to do this i had to gave on my sweet mids(oh yeah i would had got them) i research firts clasical tech hbr and invested 700 hammers in military which could be mids 1 setler and 2 workers, get curency 3-4 turns eralier second city on island already setled so o much stronger econoy and good chanse of HG , in my plan i could had finished them this turn. Conquering aretas was good thing or bad, I dont know, alot depends now on how rusten reacts, if he reacts bad defenetly not(but i can get fun in a dule with him and eventualy eliminating him, even is the last thing i do).
The thing which pushed me toward conquering aretas was the low quaility of the land, most is brwn ,no rivers and i considered a second capitol will be huge. I am realy courious what land othe people got.but will have to wait alot...NO map trading that atrociuos..
Offered peace to rusten.Cairo proves to be very anoying moving his chariot in pozition every time so he can snipe a worker, a unit so I have to wait after him to play every single time to avoid double moves and to avoid my units to be sniped.
I decided agains killing naufragarar chariot althout i had a Ha and , axe and chariot there so i have to keep playing afeter him as well.
Rusten took peace.Whi i fight over one not so strong city, simply because of his culture.I know rusten will look for revenge,although I am ready to live in peace if he wants.
Tbs finished HG so his food is huge, and i am still with a large army and cities got just out of revolt but demos i think are okish.
