[pb74 spoilers] FUNNY IMAGE THREAD

Fish for fish usually means offer of 10T peace. If both of you didn't have fish he might be using clam for clam for same.

I'm just wondering why he would want to ask for 10t of peace from me. Does he not know how hot the war between me and picaddily is? I have no units to spare for poking his corn city.

3 chariots down on an attack from picaddily,. at least killed one on defense. i have reinforcements, so it's not ogre just yet.

will SD let me settle my copper?

[greenline]

three more straight losses to axes. Rest in piss, city.

Seeing on the map more of why piccadilly was aggressive. He settled two cities in my direction. In fact, every single neighbor I had settled straight in my direction. Lol.

Perhaps I shall take to the sea this game

i wanted to found a first ring copper city, but i can't, because a piece of shit barb city spawned two tiles nearby. having barbs on is SO MUCH FUN

Sorry it's hitting you

[klops]

bummer
Is that yet another barb city or still the same you showed a couple turns ago? I guess your military is a bit low right now to raze it?

Maybe found that city on the northern tip? Not excactly great with shared wheat, lake and one floodplain but to get copper at least.

it's the same barb city from before. i suppose i would have been better off using the chariots to attack it and giving up the city earlier.

but honestly i'm less shocked by my bad luck and more at just how aggravating barbs can be on Monarch difficulty. I thought I remember from test games that you wouldn't get barb cities shoved this close to your borders on t50, and you would be dealing with barb archers well before barb spears. The barb activity I've seen in this game is the kind of obnoxious horseshit I would expect from Emperor and above. But maybe that is just my memory failing.

I have no idea if this is the reason or not, but remember in single player games the AIs will generally be more lackluster expanding than human opponents, which affects barb behaviour.

that would explain it. i thought i knew a lot about the game, but each pitboss teaches me more weird corner cases
