[spoilers] Commodore is strategic in Pitboss 74

[Qgqqqqq]

Lurk lurk lurk.

[Krill]

Technically intentionally ignoring a person is a form of interaction.

[Thoth]

Is there a version of Cards Against Humanity that can be played as a forum game?

[Commodore]

You still owe me an injuries scale.

So for lurker interaction you get a question. Favorite sea shanty?

"What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor", Tim Curry edition, from Muppet Treasure Island. Easy.

Pindicator finally returned my diplo panes with this one. I feel safe enough to launch a GA with the resultant Pacifism/Caste swap with this signal. I'll see about what further happens after that.

Pindicator is finally moving to crush Amicalola. I'd have gone earlier and sucked up the horrific losses, personally, but to each their own. Pin's going to be in a very nice position after poor Amica finally bites it.


Someone who's done a *lot* of work but is in turn stalling in wars of conquest met me this turn. He, of course, spammed me with a world map request. Maps spread like wildfire so I've been resolutely refusing all map trades; I don't want the extent of my overseas holdings known.


Particularly this big island, now. With the discovery of another sheep resource and a fish the place is looking a heck of a lot more lucrative for colonization. Need all four cities down and working post-haste.


I did discover I orphaned a fish down south, by the way. Not worried about it, and we'll see if the barb city is even worth anything. Perfectly fine not keeping it is there's not a fish in the BFC.

looking good
You have no combat units for the settling spree? (except for olmec)
I expected some barbarians on the bigger islands. Cities and/or free units travelling around. Are you just very lucky or did I miss a picture where you unloaded a knight to get rid of them?

There has been, so far, one barbarian seen:


Pindicator is about to finish off Amicalola, don't expect he'll be peaceful for long.

...but I at least forced Gav to take Liberalism:

[Commodore]

Interesting event. In a different city, I'd take the instructor, but as it is, I'm taking the money to try and first-to Economics.


Plemo stole a march on me, annoying but not too alarming...

UNTIL I ACCIDENTALLY CLICK ONTO HIS PAYA CITY AND LOSE MY KNIGHTS.

I'm not going to ask for this to be my one oopsie, but darn that was annoying.




That warrior really needs to attack. C'mon buddy, I want to be able to reach that hut.

[Qgqqqqq]

What's the march?

How many knights did you lose?

[Commodore]

The march was not two but three galleys on that side, so he was able to smack the city and push more in that expected. It was only two knights lost, the irreplaceable part of them is that they were both amphibious. 

[Commodore]

Sigh. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.


Wiffed on this attack, but the pike will clean up next turn. I think I'm retaining it, just because it's 8 coastal tiles and enough hills to slowly make infrastructure. Or maybe I should workshop the riverside?




Dodging this warrior, somewhat annoyed. I can whip a longbow in Squander if its needed.

I'm about to have some *fun*. Once Economics lands, I launch the golden age...hopefully with a spare GM from economics, but either way, I'm firing next turn to go into a double-GA *at least*. Might make it triple if I can nap Communism *and* Physics.
