Concede to whomever. This map/rng/neighbor luck has been a farce and ive almost said "screw this PB" in the tech thread multiple times.

And if someone is denying a concession at this point. Please point me in their direction for my Praetorian Castration Squad.

They are absolutely endless and as ive shown before, go STRAIGHT for me, instead of towards a closer city of my rivals. Its stupid. Im never playing with barbs on again. Too many cities lost to 4%-10% odds.

Im kinda sad that i didnt have iron in my BFC, when apparently Bing did
Also, Tarkeel iron in same direction and close to mine... Awesome (the tundra/ice one to the south doesnt count and no one would ever settle for it)
This overrun-by-barbs-bullshit is getting old. Nothing in this game went my way. Both neighbors get run over before i could react (did they not research archery or do anything to prevent an easy... 1-2 axe push???) I lose my 3rd city to barbs at a VERY low roll. My 2nd city isnt the best, but it was basically my only choice for copper first ring since im not creative and as Tarkeel showed with his brief attack... i was next on the menu. THEN, i plan out a lovely 1-2 punch with axes and a bunch of chariots on Naufragar who happens to be able to reinforce with enough troops without whipping the threatened city. ALL while im still being bombarded with barbarians that ignore closer enemy cities and charge me. DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE THE GREAT WALL?
Enough ranting. Iron hookup soon-ish. Stay tuned as i get every more pissy at people still not conceeding this fucking pb.

Im about to launch an invasion of Civac/Tarkeel next turn or the one after. Im the only player that apparently can even attempt to do anything about them? Dunno. I humbly ask any lurker to ask WHO THE FUCK STILL WANTS TO PLAY THIS PB. Thank you.

I loved your opponent overview, as usual. Thanks for the kind words!

I would have loved to see you play that, honestly.

I actually approve of your choice of violence here. Go out there and prove that they made the wrong choice attacking you.
Yeah, we were too greedy and made the wrong choice here.

How many praets did you have, and where did you plan to hit?

Praets? what are those?
![[Image: E7ZGN5i.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/E7ZGN5i.jpg)
had next turn 10 chariots that would be able to hit whatever city was in the fog the following turn. With 2 praets and an axe to ride along. I had praets being built out of the other 3 cities not shown, and i would have had 2 more chariots and 2 more praets heading your way but barbs just dont stop coming from my southern area... so ive had to deal with that. Figured i would raze what i could with chariots and then send in the legions promoted to shock and see what kind of decisions you would have to make.

That's a pretty impressive force, and not what we had pegged. Did you build two chariots on the same turn on purpose to disguise them as praets? Because that worked.
If you'd sent them northwards you'd found our original copper city, which would not have been able to stand up tp that. We'd probably have whipped walls and the surrounding cities would have been forced to whip spears, so I think we could have contained it. We also had secondary copper secured (and tertiary coming online soon), so it wouldn't have been a catastrophe.
