well , well  the game just got very complicated.Remeber when i said declared war on naufragr and offerd peace? I realy was expecting him to accept and get 4-5 cities which rusten had on his side, this way he would have  a good 20 cities sized empire which would had seen end of game for sure.I was never planning atacking  on him , i was even sending realy friendly mesages(but i supose i have a reputation bacause of commodore and no one belives me) altough he planted a city way closer to my capitol then his.Well surprize he didnt accept the offer snd starte moving units towards me.What  does he want to gain?Stop me to gave the other more chanse(brave hero)< that happened in some pitboss were OH decided to defend REM from me and TBS ended winning becasue they were concerned to not win me and someone else won.


Or maybe Nafrgrar was planing to hit Rusten capitol and i surprized him with the war/peace offer, if that was the case i get some sentry units that will not happen.

But most likely he feels he needs to put his mark on the game which is fine by me , too bad I am in a period  were I cant be angry on someone on internet.So dinner will be served for naufragrar in english style: cold and polite.
 Anyway he  moved very slow so i managed to asamble a stack to defend.And more joy musketeer next turn.
here is the largest army in the world

   


and what we produce next turn

war is going realy hard with naufrgrar  showing an impresionant stack which will be hard to deffend against.I was nervous about BGN but he took the right decision and will easily get 5-6 if not more cities from rusten realy cheap in a area which is realy green.Do you know who is the true winner from my wars ii not me but BGN beside the capitol i got a city squezed by rusten culture and a mediocre city with no important resources, while BGN got  2 happines and loads of green land(what i would love some workshops there) and now for cheap he can get alot of green land as well.Seeing his land 90% or more green makes me envious as i got mostly brown tiles and if wasnt for getting aretas capitol and getting a library,academy combo and growing my capitol and his capitol to 19 respectiv 17 when there in the world biggest cities after me were size 12, there i would have been alot behind,but i supose other got good land and didnt need to get theyr capitols so large.Tbs ddint wanted open borders so i cant scout his land. This is ahrd war keep in mind when i started war Rusten was third on the score board and Naufragrar was 4th so is not like walk in a park.

Now i regeret not getting mids, man that police state would have been nice, but when you get HBR before maths si kind of imposible to land mids as well.

WW will explode in few turns as is imposible to not have a clash with naufregror stack...i just need to dance if posible 3 turns to get firs ring on new conquest so i can let minimal garnizon becasue of knigs forking cities from rusten culture, why couldnt nauf act normal and just conquer some cities for himself...

great news my loving lurkers(who am I kidding,i bet everyone would love to see my empire burning) i got oracle and got score points , you see becasue of that scoring is decevieng.  This was the best turn of the war with the cost of 4 cats(one was a misclick) i got the city from rusten killing like 5 lb,4 spears, 2 archers,2 axes and a formation maceman and even more than that a cat retreat.

And the good news is not stoping here Nafraugar belives that I am an AI so he split his stack and even more then that he let his knigs in open without using the promo on them and I am sure those were combat 2 as i remeber he was running vasalage, well i sent 2 cats on that stack and everithing was at 8.2 strenght  so i sent my combat 1 knigs with 9 experience on them  so next turn i can get 2 promo on them for  a basicaly instant heal.So i killed 7 knigs losing 2 cats(Man i realy love when i win all 88% batles), and used one spear to kill a scouting HA, becasue was wounded i deleted the spear you know becasue of free experience and WW.

TBS is anoying keeps moving sentry chariot and HA near me and that made me wonder if he has a stack of HA in fog to raze one of my precious cities so i got in those everithing what i could, and now I am looking for an oportunity to kill all his units near me. I think he got taoism so he is going for the Taj and i bet he has a chain produvtion prepared and is not at war so I conced ththat to him  .

My plan is to bulb chemistry after to bulb military science(i bet no one made that) and after got for constitution for jails (yes jails ) so from police state and jails i should have no WW(krill can you confirm this, or is calculated diferen, becasue for PS is wrote-50% and jails 50%).

War plans is to take 2 more cities from Rusten and propose peace and if that is accepted Nauf is going after Aretas.

Wow there is a lurker.For a very long time, because is the period to gain cities and prepare for new phase of teching.Becasue of the very expensive tech,  sprinting for a new generation of units its no fesable for example getting to rifling for me will be like 17 k if you get down 20% still is like 13 k of reseach which is alot for a civilization which produce 680  bpt  at max science and spends like 450 gold ,getting cuirasiers is alitle cheaper but need money for upgrad and same for rifle upgrade or draft which is again loats of beakers , so i think best move is to anex some serious teritory right now. IN bts was easiera as tech were half costs and some bulbs on path and libing something was strong, here liberalism is 3600 beakers so no..

I have all i need for going war engineering, guilds,GP(musketeers) a good production i have more then 50% from next whcih is in a GA I supose as i seen that one keep chanching.

HE is up an running for a long time now produced like 15 knigs and 20 Ha till now and other cities are in 24-36 range so get an unit every 2-3 turns.The problem is ww so  might need to do a constitution sprint for those jails(i think jails should be moved up a litle bit on tech tree) as we all know jails were common even at the beggining of human kind.

I see TBs decided to go for taj which is a very good move , i wanted myself that but i didn get the low odds engineer and taj is expensive in this mod 700 hammers with no modifiers  , best city could be at 40 hamers and i had 2 forests could had buil a chain of production for a 60 overflow so 700-150=550 for 50 /turn would be 11 turns and no way to improve and i needed that city for army as you know naufragra decide to be a hero for the Cause.

So yeah get 40 cities and after resume teching.I might build some CH here and there as some xities show over 12gpt costs.

great news my loving lurkers(who am I kidding,i bet everyone would love to see my empire burning)

I think that you have as many lurkers as you have posts. 

I, for one, can say that I like your empire and playing since you've caused at least your fair share of blood in the water. I'm routing for the most blood thirsty so keep up the good work (and reporting)!

[darrelljs]

The Views::Posts ratio is an even 72, which is highest for the game.  The next three appear to be Commodore at 56, Old Harry at 59.5, and TBS at 62.7.

This tech plateau will achieve ~50% increase in number of cities if all goes according to plan .

[CML]

Make that 70.
