About the forest: I think he is keeping the option to advance on both Grapes and Pome by standing there so avoid being out of position to defend either of those cities. Ideally, a counterattack force should stand directly north of sheep and have a road.
With the units coming in form the north it looks like an attack on grapes but I would think that pome makes a better target as it is not on a hill so it might be a feint. The lone praetorian on that hill might suggest he want to move there. What are our odds to take it out with two units? As he can stand by pome next turn, can we get a force together to take out his attack force? If not, should we camp that hill to avoid him taking it? I do not think so as his shock preats get odds vs. against all our units except shock axes and even against those he get odds if he has combat 2.

That praet is just to give vision, we can kill it at the cost of 1 axe, but i think its not worth, he has much more production than us and this tipe of exange favors him i think. Also if we got bad rolls we might even lose 2 so i prefere to give him the vision, if he moves his stack to grapes i can move half of the stack of pome and it will be fine, he cannot go towards us without forest because with the cats he lose all his stack so he is just waiting for getting cats i think. Which makes this war even more pointless, if he had went for cairo when civac had so little power he could have gotten almost all his cities by this time, now he is giving cairo just for civac and he is not even making any farther progress so i think this wasnt worth for him. I guess on 10-15 turns we will die, but men it took him the first power of the game sooooo many turns to get here, he is the worst economy i think so he will need a lot of wealth and cottages to be on the game still, idk

I would try and avoid saying something like this in the tech thread 
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. ![[Image: noidea.gif]](https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/noidea.gif) In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

its been said already, so no need to edit i think.. but even common knowledge stuff should probably be kept out of tech thread. I didnt catch jowy's comment :/

Okey, ill try not to make that mistake ever again.
Turn 120
Amica and noble made peace. Someone took CoL. Since we know so little about the map it could be anyone. According to points gira and civac got 12 points so as far as i know it could be any of them. Amica and Noble got more than 20 points and could be too, but i dont see any of them having trouble with expenses. Noble got TGLH and amica got the shrine.... I would think they are going for knights asap maybe some literature first?
Played the turn straight forward. mjmd took the corn of Arbutus as i thought he would last turn. So yeah that city and blueberry are crap, he is spending money for nothing. Sadly noble is unable for some reason to take anything from amica, so i guess he will wait to get knights. Right now i am expecting a bunch of catapults and some phants he is already showing us. Whiped 2 cats at 19h both and ill make some spears just in case. Im not sure what to do, right now the capitol is the easiest spot to get killed which is not nice, so maybe retreat from grapes to pome and capitol? if i retreat from grapes i even thing on put eveythig on the capitol and make them waste a ton of cats to get it. But thinking on how to fuk them and his tense border not sure if maybe giving the capitol to amica would piss mjmd enough so amica start worring of 2 borders as i said some turns ago. So maybe put everythign on grapes and pome? not sure, i dont find the solution.
mjmd retreated from the island, im going to grow it into unhappines and will try to keep whiping as much as possible, ill try to grow it into 6 pop to 3whip something. Probably a phant.

Everything calmed for now, im trying to make some agresive move into mjmd. But im unsure, maybe leaving him with his huge army will punish more amica. And maybe that is better to drown them more.
Mjmd is getting construction right now, but he is getting money, not sure hoiw many turns will need to get money and how many to get the tech, but right now several people knows it and his economy was better than when i started it, so maybe he can even 1 turn it, 2 turns at most. So whenever he got money the game is over for us, so maybe hitting him before is the play.
So you get better knowledge of how things are going here are the graphs and demos, noble keep being the best in almost all. Civac took the first position on power.
NOt much movements of troops from them so nor from us.
Also decided to make archers instead of spears or axes, they are cheapers and on a hill i think they are even better defenders than axes and spears since they got 5 promo while axes and spears just 2. I will make 2 rounds of 1 turn archers on the capitol and grapes and then whip again cats.

I would definitely take the ceasefire since we are still at war with Amica. Maybe that can let us concentrate more on that front.
As it is a ceasefire we can still attack him if he leaves us an opening but the same also applies in reverse so we have to be careful.

It wasnt his request. I joined there to see how much mney he gets at 0% and how much money he has.
