PB63 Spoilers: Superdeath is Crazy

This is the 2nd time that has happened to you right? The last PBEM it happened too if memory serves. Couldn't happen to a better guy  neenerneener

Ya I had a lot of units in queue I whipped as soon Ginger invaded Cornflakes, changed my tech path, and got turn signals from Bing he would help out. AND then Cairo invaded for the 2nd pointless time  banghead

Finished reading your thread ( company IT issues on one of my busiest days of the month yeah!). It sounds like you invaded Cornflakes because you thought that would be easier than attacking Jack again in 10 turns? I get the initial timing was  smoke but I imagine Bing would have gone in with you again in 10 turns maybe and 9 city Jack seems a lot easier than Cornflakes.

i think my logic was, that Jack would be prepping for the war far more than Cornflakes would. + I didnt think i could stop Cornflakes if i didnt go THEN. Faulty logic i guess seeing how everything went/ginger not declaring, but ehh.

So I still can't quite tell why Cairo attacked me, but he somewhat mentions wanting to slow me down. The thing is he didn't do anything for himself. Late in the game you have to switch mentalities, but I don't think Cornflakes was running away with things. He was doing well. BUT something I mentioned in my thread was that I would always have trouble waging war with both Bing and Ginger next to me. Once Cornflakes bordered Ginger he would have trouble going to war for the reason he bordered both you and Ginger. I think you probably should have gone after Jack again after 10 turns (or just kept going the first time and do a lot of whips). I know I was scared of you getting 3 peoples worth of land while I couldn't do anything!

I was very worried about being bogged down in a Jack war while Cornflakes or yourself could jump on me.

Did you see the army I invaded Cornflakes with the first time? My power number was good. What that power number consisted of was not............

Cornflakes needed to consolidate and again he would have had to worry about Ginger jumping him if he seriously invaded you.

I figured that in that scenario, Ginger would let Cornflakes and i duke it out, and then go after you.

Giving Renzo for peace not only saved me from a 2v1 but it also made sure Ginger fully bordered Cornflakes once he took over Fable / put him in contention with Cornflakes.

No one was invading me during that time period. It was outdated junk, but there was a lot of it! It just wasn't suited for offensive warfare lol. But possibly. I probably would have let Ginger go to war with Cornflakes if he was invading you honestly. I really wanted to go punch Cairo in the face this game lol.

Yeah, i tried to throw you warnings about a ton of galleys waiting to attack you lol. He had a TON of siege + chuckles ready to go, and honestly... i probably would have attacked him had he gone in sooner before i declared on Cornflakes.

I was honestly hoping you would swing and hit him after you peaced out from fighting Cornflakes. He had so little on D (see my city raze with like 3-4 knights).
