RP Pitboss #2 [SPOILERS] - Darius I of the Holy Roman Empire

[Nakor]

Guess the preats were on auto-move. Sorry about that.

There was one extra unit in Chendu, a Hwacha.

I was keeping research at 100% since Athlete owes us some money and I hoped to get it back before we end Edu. We need to tech fast since India is also going for Lib. Talked to Sullla in game, not much info...

[DMOC]

Ah, okay. I understand.



Ugh ... I wish Korea would move their troops to try and attack Nar Shadda - then we can raze their city and Korea will be more inclined to sign for peace before taking Nar Shadda (don't want them to get the city of course!).

More info to follow.

Note that it's not a bad thing if we can't get the attack done. We'll still have about 25 spare units ... to attack a certain guy next door with the city of Gao.

[DMOC]

Couple of things:

-Settler unloaded onto Centralia. Will move towards central centralia soon.
-2 workers are now improving the sugar
-Rolan is done with settler - needs something next. another settler to settle Hawk's Hollow? Personally I'd prefer some macemen especially if we want to make an aim at Gao later.
-What's the second galley doing by india's trieme? If anything we should have a trireme there to counter theirs. We could keep the galley as a "sentry."
-Dantski's done with construction next turn
-3 longbows and some other scattered troops are on the forest (visible to korea). Hopefully the suicide some of their troops on the stack and get a surprise the following turn.

EDIT: Ugh I ended turn by mistake ... will try not to do that again. sorry

[DMOC]

All right. next turn.

India's got Guilds, and Korea's got a huge stash of gold, so we'd better research Engineering after Education, methinks.

Both settlers are heading towards their final destination.

We don't want Dantski to know about our stack so we need to watch his chariot (in crydee now). Korea however has 8 units this turn with 2 longbows, a crossbow, a mace, some axe/hwacha/archer combo (and will get more if we move our stack) in Cheju so it is probably a lost cause to attack them.

[Nakor]

To bad... what do we need to succesfully attack, do you think?

Engineering first is ok, no one is even near Lib yet.

[Nakor]

Just checked the game. I only made 2 changes, changed Queg from a Lib to a Worker (4t), I think it should build another LB before the Lib and then a Settler to get to the third city on that Island. And I hired a Priest in Sethanon. It's hiring 3 GP now. Don't know about the best tile usage, but for now I want that LB finished first, so I focused on production.

Make sure to whip Land's End next turn (no more usefull tiles).

Plako got a siencist last turn, he didn't bulb yet.

In two turns we'll have research visibility on KA.

Oh, changed Rolan to a LB (2t) since Edu will be done in 2t and it can build a uni then

[DMOC]

All right, good idea.

Sent Whosit an email about Centralia.

[DMOC]

I'm going to try and get a lot of emails done tonight, especially to teams like Korea and India who we may have hostilities with and which I want to ease. A lot of teams have been sending us stuff. And I'm sure some lurkers want to see those emails.

I checked the game, and Dantski is going to notice our big stack next turn with his 2 chariots patrolling his land. Do you want us to just close borders with him? I'll have to check how much income we get from him.

[DMOC]

Dear India,

We accept your team's Non-Aggression Pact policy and will not take it as a sign of hostility. After all, Dantski of Romali wanted to attack us, yet signed a Non-Aggression Pact while allowing us to tech Feudalism! A classic example of when you shouldn't sign a NAP (although that may or may not be a similar case here).

We are interested in open borders along with a no-scouting clause. What turn would you like to make arrangements ingame - if you are willing to do so?

Lastly, let us know when you have concluded your exploration of Centralia. We already have several cities placed as a result of earlier agreements so space is going to be at a premium within the next dozen turns or so.

Thank you again for attempting to rebuild relations.

Sincerely,
DMOC of HRE

[Nakor]

Played our turn.

Education in next turn.
Guess we need 3 turns 0% before we go onto Engineering (3t).
Ordered some LB's and a Rathaus in La Mut (4t only).
Next turn we'll find Rillanon (Central Centralia), I suggest we find on the hill 1S of the sign.
Whipped Land's End for a LB.

Made a deal with Dantski to transport a settler/escort for free to Centralia north in about 5t. Have to build up better relations and if that keeps India out of Centralia, the better.

Should we gift some units to whosit for defense since our attack won't proceed?
