What is your plan going forward? Round 3 with Charriu? Round 1 with Mjmd? Cross-map brawl with Old Harry? Eat AT? None of the above?

I love that watermills are so niche (most of the time) that people are still discovering that.  lol

Round 3 with Charriu. My main goal now is to defeat him and to keep my empire alive until the end of the game.

I'll only attack Mjmd if OH is losing to him. I could do a naval invasion on OH if he's winning, but I don't plan to rush Astronomy so that would be some time away.

OH sent a 4 gold and 3 gold of the same trade with war against Mjmd. He's counting down so it's probably not what I thought. Mjmd on the other hand just proved that the world is round, so he's sailing around the world. His power is sky high.

Now, I might be crazy, but what if he's sending ships around? I know he can't get through Charriu's lands in 3 turns, and doesn't have OB with AT. Naval attack on the backlines is the only risk left to us.

So I prepared some whips and moved some units around. And I declared war on Mjmd and sent a peace treaty. If he accepts, then no trouble. If he declines and doesn't send one back, then I know I need to act and the whips will go off next turn and units will keep moving to reinforce our backlines.

Mjmd didn't accept peace or send back an offer so an attack is incoming.



If it's not a naval attack, then he could be coming in from the north where he took the AT/Charriu contested city and now has a shorter route to me.
The naval attack could come from around the world or from the south. Atm stack is about halfway between them and both coasts are reinforced. I think moving once more next turn to kinda be in the middle of every possibility.
I still have more whips in queue I could pull off, but not going to unless shit really hits the fan.

Charriu sent us an OB offer. I don't remember if I asked for it or if it was his idea, but I'm glad to have it. Now I can see where Mjmd's troops are.



Just some Cavalry over here. I sent another worker from south, found nothing, though that was to be expected.

Now, the big news:



Ty OH. You have bought yourself an ally in this game. I was going to side against the one who's leading, but with Mjmd sneak attacking and OH warning me, that is reason enough to pick a side.

We can only see 2 galleons. They are not in a stack, so I think he's going to hit many cities at once. Galleons have 3 space, so 2 rifles will probably be enough to defend.
My rifle count ranges from 2-4 in coast cities. If he sends more than one galleon after one city and I can't reach to reinforce it, then it could get iffy.
I have my stack around in case he goes all in for one city. I expect more than 2 total galleons, but I don't know how many and I don't know where they'll hit.



Mjmd's power is a problem. I hope he actually lands his troops. I would like to defeat that threat, then be ready to march against his mainland forces.

Mjmd didn't land, but he sent a peace treaty. I took it so he will hopefully leave. I will have Caravels fogbusting.
We'll see again where we stand in 10 turns. But for now I will be building Universities which I just unlocked.



Found a third Galleon to the north.



And a fouth one to the south.
There was probably a fifth one. I saw a caravel coming in to check on a city. The galleon might have just turned back around.



Not enough cats? Been there bud.

I sent 500 gold to OH for the coded messages.

Charriu lost 3 border cities to Mjmd. He does not have many units left to defend the last 2.

I'll need to decide whether to try to snipe them from Mjmd.

Mjmd wants to be friends and suggested me to go attack AT. Dude you just tried to invade me  lol If my stack is going somewhere it's going your way.

Mjmd is moving in. I took the ballsy approach and declared on Charriu to try to snipe the cities from Mjmd. I arrive 1 turn after his main force.

7 turns left in peace treaty with Mjmd. It won't be a fun time for me after Charriu buffer is gone. Gonna need OH to make a move at some point.
