[Lewwyn]

Also eps on tbs?

Swapped Fontana to a lighthouse and I'm tempted to swap Kingsbury to a Forge ahead of the library too, but I can see getting a jump on all that coastal commerce as well.

Put all EP into TBS and that will give us city sight on his weaker Confucian cities next turn: Razakus, Cubelock, Genn Paladin, Baku Rogue, and Aluneth are all within 30 EP. Larger ones are a few turns out.

Guilds is as much as Engineering, so we'll finish it about 3 turns after the GA is done. After that, knights everywhere and tech Engineering

Nice.

I think we are good for defense even if gav decides the fish isn't sacred.

Plako takes a city back!

Plako takes a city back!

Sweet sweet plako. Does this change our choices with Gav? Do we want to not hit TBS? TBS is going to nationalism.

I played the turn, but I don't have time for a lot of pictures and stuff. Gotta get moving right now. Go check it out, lots of farms up, and I'm trying to grow some cities. Saving gold on Feud this turn, kramer off gold build.

Found some Gav armies, they are all moving south, for a stack of 5 injured WCs. Gav might be an easy mark now... BUT WE GAVE THE FISH! SO torn.

I will be able to write more and give feedback on here throughout the day from my phone, so post here.

[pindicator]

Well, I think if we think we have a shot at success against TBS then we should go for it. A successful war would be what we discussed: the eastern four cities captured and razing 1 or 2 of the border cities in the west.

However, if TBS pulls so far ahead that we cannot hope to make that goal then we will need to capture more land. And Gav is likely that target there (although we shouldn't entirely rule out Commodore either).

I am good with playing by ear. I was in game with TBS and I watched him move a galleon 1SE of pieffer and then move it SE into the fog.

We are third in power by the way. I think only mackoti and TBS? have bigger armies.

[Lewwyn]

I went in and played half the turn. I did all the worker moves I planned. I didn't move the explorers or troops. You'll get a chance to do that.

I set Guilds to 100% with gold builds in Kramer, Pieffer and Anderson. We want to eke out as much during the GA as possible.

I didn't check EPs or even look at TBS's land.

Dtay started a GA, he swapped into Mercantilism, he has banking. At least two civs have banking that we've met. Meaning they have guilds too. Gav finished teching Machinery this turn. If you can finish the tturn after him we can see what he starts teching next... likely guilds.

I set HyoJun to a library build, but maybe we don't need that. The stable gives us too much overflow and wastes hammers... What do you think?

[pindicator]

Ok, i'll aim to play and finish the turn after Gav plays then.

Agree with pushing gold on this turn - I was tempted to say it when we first switched to Feudalism but I thought maybe we should try to get some more units out.

As for Hyo-Jun, we'll want a stables there eventually, but my thoughts now are that if we don't know what to build then just build more CKN - maybe a few catapults though. I'll see if anything makes sense to me when i log in.
