[Spoilers] naufragar's fist full of pesos (Montezuma)

[naufragar]

I opened the turn in Fullscreen, but I did my sim in windowed mode. I forgot to change back to fullscreen, so I played the remainder of the turn in windowed, and the screenshot function doesn't work in windowed mode. Here's what I did:


I retreated the spear stack to a tile nane's cats can't reach. Unfortunately, because of the 12 numids I have to block the road to my southern city. These turns are incredibly tricky. The elephants give him a ridiculous advantage so long as we have anywhere near an equal number of units, and because collateral damage is based on base unit strength, they aren't very scared of cats. The stack guarding Tlaxcala only has 6 spears, so if he sends his stack down that road and attacks with the numids, my catapults could be in serious trouble. Atzcapotzalco's borders haven't popped, so that city is vulnerable to numids as well. I sort of have to pull a Russian defense: just keep giving up land until I can hit him. The numids and elephants make that very tricky.

For the record, if nane offers peace after taking Xochicalco, I won't accept it. I've been dragging out a hopeless position since turn 6, and I figure there's more dignity in a fighting defeat now than sliding into (further) irrelevance.

Well, this game has been ongoing, but I had stagnated so there wasn't much to say. Nane, my Carthaginian friend, decided I had played enough and came with the war elephants. This is the end.

Thank you for reporting during the hot action early at least. You did a good job being entertaining, which in a 52 person pitboss is probably about the best anyone can hope for.

[naufragar]

Thanks. I'm looking forward to rejoining the lurkerati. In the meanwhile...


SV and I on the same side? Cats befriending dogs? Lions lying down with lambs? What's the world coming to?

Alternatively he just wants to prolong your suffering making nane pull back before eliminating you.

If I can survive for five more days, I will have played this game for a year! It certainly doesn't feel like it.

Now that's a bittersweet subtitle, but I do try to craft an image. I don't report the turns I forget about flanking and lose all my catapults to a bunch of numids.

[Charriu]

OMG it is already one year? That reminds me why I haven't joined.

[Papa Bear]

And it could well be another year before we crown a winner...

I can never figure out if I'm actually reporting this game. SV and nane peace'd out (although SV sent me deer and horse to show moral support. Thanks, buddy.  ) SV is sieging down my walls:


He doesn't have enough units to kill me in 1 turn, but if he waits, my units will quit from lack of payment.
