[PBEM22] Friends with Benefits

Which raises a question if we need to interfere with any of his attempts to conquer CS.

[Krill]

I mean it in the most general sense rather than a specific idea. I agree with the point that the scouts go always forward and if TAD tries to take HK we fight him there as its better than fighting anywhere else.

[Krill]

One of the things I love about a well built version of Civ is just how much you can figure out, from so little.

It seems obvious then that the plan should, roughly, be to blitz TADs second city and use any excess longships to either shield or push forwards to interdict the capital. Ignore HK unless it looks like we are going to need either a fall back location, or more realistically, we need to use the HK pop to bolster loyalty.

T42 World map:




I'll make a new map periodically for planning purposes.

[Krill]

Not sure you will want to rush this turn, depending on NM, but I am around for for a while longer.

[Krill]

I'm here but yeah it's late, don't rush it on a Friday night.

[Krill]

You could track this turn?

[Krill]

Oh fuck that.

I just read the wiki on what Mogadishu does.

Is the promoted longship Helmsman? If so push that to cover the north then murder the CS.

[Krill]

So we can shove an Embolen longship in the 1 tile choke point and hit with the unprompted longship this turn? Giving them the least amount of time to scramble to intervene? And we keep them distracted from the main event coming down from the North?

We are playing a rushing game here. Fuck diplomacy. Fuck being nice. Kill everything.

[Krill]

I wouldn't assume anything, that long ahip is quite likely to find another choke point to act as a force multiplier and screw up their short term naval movements.
