[SPOILERS] Pindicator promises brighter days ahead

Turn 123

Events show more things happening in the world:



So Commodore was only pulling an opportunistic strike. Kind of like what we're planning, but 10 turns earlier and potentially this pushes Gav to pull more defenses north ... which is where we want them least. Of note: Commodore's peace treaty will be due to expire 2 turns after we declare. If we are successful initially I think we need to expect Commodore to pile in. Best case is we find an amicable split - there are still bigger fish in the world for both of us to clash into each other yet.

And since we need to be aware of what Comm has, here's his army:



Our army is still a work in progress, but the power graph climb is starting to be noticeable



Then finally a big screenshot:

By request, a power graph:

Need to move the completed galley out of Gleierscher.

Do we want to play the turn tonight or tmr?

[pindicator]

Peeking into the turn before I go to bed ...

TBS declared on Gav.  That'd be funny in the "Gavagai can't catch a break" kind of funny, but it can't be a real war declaration ... can it?

Demos and graphs - Gav jumps up with his golden age.

Also - note the tech vision in those screenshots.  If you didn't click the big takeaways are

Gavagai:  Construction (1)
Commodore:  Optics (25)
I dont' think Comm is really going for Optics ... right?

Crazy news from Gavagai - did Commodore get under his skin as Commodore tends to do to his neighbors? Or is this something going on farther south that is tying Gav up in a no-win situation because his southern neighbor is just playing against him and ignoring the rest of the field?

[Lewwyn]

Crazy. Comm maybe accepted a fish for fish deal like we did a long time ago? and Gav thought comm's attack was in bad faith? Or that he razed a city and took peace so he feels like it was about hurting him and not for comm's benefit? Like out of spite, not for gain?

Everything seems fine to me...

[Lewwyn]

I do think this means we'll have an easy time of it. And likely we will want to take more land now if we can.

I'm a bit busier today, leave any comments on discord about the turn. I'll check in every now and then there. I think you know what we're doing.

[pindicator]

Lewwyn, are you able to log in and end turn? I apparently forgot to hit enter after moving all the units.

Also, go ahead and offer Gavagai an iron for iron trade. It'll suck when we backstab him in 7 turns but I think we need to keep up appearances

Turn 126

I didn't re-offer to Gavagai this turn.

TBS is building wealth, at peace, and in a golden age. We now have sight on his research as of last turn and can see that he finished Machinery. What he's researching this turn is not yet known. I'm guessing he has knights within a dozen turns. He's also starting to chop the jungle at our border.

Which makes me wonder: do we move some spears that direction? The invasion plan only calls for 2 on boats; how many more do we need by land? We seem to have 6 more right now, gathering at the capital. Do we send them all south? A couple north?
