GT not only planting that insanely aggro city, but now acting like his game is over because he's losing it? crazyeye
What benefit was he even getting from the spot that was worth such a doomed gamble?

It was a fairly safe location that allowed him to backfill quite freely. If he had had 1 impi he is probably fine, but because he had taken his opponents horse he thought he didn't need. It was still a far away aggressive city that required a lot of effort, so if you are going to do this you really have to be prepared for war, because it will come.

I'm not even sure they even know it is a 2 city island.

Just an extension due to their recent post. I have no clue how they are getting their island is 5 tiles from Plemos capital. From his original it is 8 and from his new it is 7. Its possible they quick counted over the ocean tile but even that is 6.

Donovan may not be telling many stories but I think I understand him now. He is a dreamer. He is just going to casually run over a good portion of Metal then plow into Mig and then somehow hope the other two people on the continent also just roll over and then he wins? I get the fear of FIN colossus especially after PB59, but step 1 is just get more land. Focus on just taking over Metal part first......

Yeah, Donovan is smoking some good stuff. He might be able to kill metal - might! - but the land would be incredibly exposed to Miguelito. The dream scenario that he can somehow pivot his army into a second successful war that takes and holds Migs capital is just utter nonsense. Oh well, a man can dream.

I mean if you can't break the person without copper you can clearly push and keep a different opponents capital  smoke

Seriously DZ. Just take the cow city and resettle Metals copper........ Heck with incoming HAs might be able to do more. 

GKC might take this continent easily if he plays it right. Metal one if his neighbors is crippled, Mig his other is about to be knocked down, Mig weakened Magic early, and DZ is whipping himself to weaken the other neighbors and not fully gaining anything (I mean he might, but not holding my breath).

I mean its very impressive off of just 4 cities. But now do a vague conversion into settlers and workers, but it still might work out because it appears to have caught Xist by surprise. There is something to fast two mover attacks super early if you can get the surprise advantage.
