PB63 Spoilers: Superdeath is Crazy

[superdeath]

Well, several things to note here.

1. Mjmd and Bing are in a golden age im beating both of them in gnp and production.. (yes they are both at war but STILL)

2. Cornflakes is saving gold on Guilds. Shit.

3. Fabled is needing a replacement. He needs to be replaced BADLY. Both because he has a newborn/bad weekend schedule AND because he isnt whipping or doing anything in response to Cornflakes build up and soon to be total war. I predict that Cornflakes rolls over Fabled in less than 10t minus the island city(s) and proceeds into Cairo. I may or may not have to save Cairo instead of eating JackRB.. God. Damn. It.

I really feel this game will be a farce if we do not find a suitable player to take over for Fabled. I want the lurkers to ask around or come to their own consensus. I wish for the game to be paused as i really REALLY am enjoying the game, but i will throw in the towel as will im sure others if Cornflakes is allowed to mow thru Ottoman lands with basically no resistance. (yes tech advantage, but very little whipping, i saw alot of unpromoted units, AND his 3. min. turns.)  I want the game to be paused. It feels only fair to the other players after the shitshow of the last few pbs, that we finally have a decent one. That is my stance.


I would be okay with a spoiled lurker making a suitable and sensible defense of Ottoman land.

I'll put my thoughts in the lurker thread at least.

Any news?

Building towards knights still. Going to save gold for at least 2 turns so that Jack helps me get Machinery.


Not looking great for Mack..


Forbidden palace finishes EOT so that ought to help maintenance issues down south..


The economic heartland. Pumping some extra HA's from Red to clean up cities/units ect. I believe i have a city working on Chariots soon for scouting/maybe healing...


(ignore the fact that i realized a bit late that i needed more workers..)

Another noob question:


Could JackRB see the highlighted square? i "think" he can, but i just wanna confirm. Should be fine for lurkers to answer this. Thanks!


Powers are increasing basically across the board.. Jack is going for Maces as he already has Machinery (saw a crossbow headed towards his border with Bing..) Maces arent what i want to see, but imo, better for him to be building those than pikes.. and even better if they are all on the border with Bing who has said that he will join in my war in some turns. It doesnt truly matter if he does or not because well, i dont see myself losing the 1v1 or getting stalled out vs Jack. Now, if i get backstabbed/declared on by any of my other neighbors thats a different story. It will take me awhile to get the required amount of knights that i want, but luckily that is just enough time for me to tech to Engineering to get some REALLY fun options in this war.  


With a couple different people (Cairo and Ginger for sure) in golden ages, i dont think my demos are bad. I have sacrificed some econ, and some food/growth/whipping potential for more straight up hammers. Probably not the "way to go" as im sure the pros would rather slam a ton of unpromoted HA or knights about 10-20t before my actual planned start, but im going for consistency. My combat RNG is not always... Fair, so i wanted my top 6 cities in production to be able to crank 3-5t knights naturally with 2 promos. I will be splitting my forces into 2 separate forces in order to take as many cities as quickly as possible and to cut off potential panic whipping.


I told bing i would be ready to go in about 15t or so, and he echo'd it back.. With or without his help, Jack will be conquered by t170. (mostly for any island city that needs a whipped galley/ect)


Hope the lurkers are ready for a blood bath, because JackRB has met my eyes, and cannot run from this trainer battle.

Yes, he can see that tile from either of the two lake tiles to the south which are under his cultural control.

Thanks!

Swear its the last time...


Can JackRB see Squirtles garrison?  



Always feel nice to be at break even research, and still be 2nd when others are binary-researching.

Only with a sentry unit
