Spoilers! Time For A Change. ( superdeath spoilers )

Well I certainly think that airships need a balancing change.

Well I certainly think that airships need a balancing change.

Please. IMO, airships could use the following changes: Reduce their attack range, but let them "see" farther. That way they can defend stuff nearby/cities ect.. but they cant be used as longer-than-fighters pinging my stuff. While still being the recon-like unit that i think they should be.

[Old Harry]

Airships are great, but they only do 5-8% damage with each hit and 20% damage max, so if the base strength of your units is high enough they shouldn't cause too many problems. I really don't think they need a nerf.

Destoyers should intercept every second or third airship and iirc do 30-100% damage at random. If he has enough airships (almost certain in this game) you might still feel some pain...

JR4 and wetbandit are under no obligation to have plans that involve king making in your favour.

True, but im ( other than MFG ) in no way going to come out ahead of any of them in this game. I can hope for a dogpile where i can gain more land to secure a time victory? Lol. Or hope for a concession instead once MC is dead? Most likely ill be the next to get dogpiled once MC is dead/CV is dead.

My best chance of actually forcing a win, is to consolidate my power and build research/wealth to bombers and then use bombers + tanks ( and my vastly stronger MFG ) to overrun someone. JR4 if DZ hits him hard.. Wetbandit if i "must" ( id rather not attack an ally again.... AKA like i did Elkad in pb......40?

IF Mr.Cairo didnt take out all my ironclads/block my path to sparta, im going to have 20 tanks/marines vs about 13 units of his on defense. Only 1 Anti-tank last i checked.. Hopefully he got distracted by my small stack i sent to entice JR4 to attack. If i can raze sparta, my heroic epic city should get access to more tiles, AND maybe it will get the two massive standing armies of JR4/Wetbandit to move. Unless they are fine with MC just winning at this point? I forgot to take screenshots, but MC is going to have all 3 legendary cities within 15t. They. Need. To. Fucking. Move. If it comes down to the wire ill probably throw every last transport worth of units at Vanillaisis just to see how close i was.. but im not anywhere close to having enough units to guarantee a raze. Right now, i have about 8 more total units that could hit off of ships vs his defense. Im building transports out of 2 cities nonstop every turn and filling them up.. So if nothing changes i SHOULD be able to just barely have enough to raze Vanillaisis? Hopefully? Its a real nailbiter. Ill probably raze the city, MC will throw everything at my border city then ill get dogpiled cuz why not.



Really wish teching wasnt so painful.. but right now, im kinda glad it is. Dont want Wetbandit/JR4 hitting Modern armor while i make 500 tanks lol

This pitboss has continued the trend of giving me some real shit luck. Im sure MC will be glad to inform you in his thread. Im bending my entire civ ( even more so than before if that was possible ) To burning Vanillaisis and stopping his culture victory. Wetbandit sent me a very odd 1gpt for my ONLY wheat... i looked around to where that could be interpreted to mean something war wise... and found nothing. I.... CANT GIVE YOU MY ONLY WHEAT. That would be an instant -1 or more unhealthy in every single city. He has a huge stack of troops just sitting on the border. Same with JR4, who sent me a demand for my only incense. I, i.... Im not anywhere near 2nd place in anything but MFG and score. Wetbandit has more cities than i do last i checked, has an intact ( because imma be sending a bunch of units to die to prevent a CV which neither JR4 nor Wetbandit seem to be cooperating towards.. )

No one wants to send their army to be the first to "die" ect. I get it. I cant really just invade over the border. As my border with MC is kinda... small. JR4/Wetbandit actually have a border with MC. I have to build transports, protect those transports, and have a shit ton more units because there is no collateral off of boats... to attack MC with. All while getting slammed by these stupid fucking airships. IF MC didnt have these airships, ( even if he replaced them with ANYTHING ELSE ) he wouldnt have nearly the same chance of winning as he does right now. If it werent for the quarantine, even though im an essential worker... id have conceded. But im not a quitter when i have an ok chance of preventing someones victory.

Im probably not done ranting and bitching about this pitboss, ive made more than my fair share of mistakes believe me.. i know. But between Global warming screwing me by seemingly targeting me above all others ( AND all my good production cities at that! ) and me being completely new to airships + them not really being counter-able... Im just going to need a smallllllllllllllllllllllllll break from the RNG gods. Maybe ill play a game with no RNG. Anyone know a game like that? Starcraft?

Chess ... Go

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Maybe diplomacy? We could get another diplomacy game started at RB...

[Charriu]

Well if it helps. Global warming is disabled in all other PBs running and future version of RtR.

I would be open for a diplomacy game.
