[spoilers] Commodore in the slightly less than sudden death playoffs.

I'm going to try for the strongpoint, but I'm also going to slide around to try for the sides.

Camel archers to the north.

My understanding if that running artists before the bombing helps?

It matters for tile ownership culture. That is calculated not as the 4000, but as (I think) 20 iterations of what the city is currently set to produce. This is why a culture bomb usually barely moves the border - a city you want to bomb wouldn't have been producing much culture. Tile ownership won't matter for a culture victory, you just get the 4000 towards that no matter what the city is producing.

And as expected, we end this very very simply. I was hoping for this move. Cornflakes:



Much more dicey for me, but this is the final pitch-and-toss myself. I have three hitpoints.

Did you purposefully cut off the screenshot so we couldn't see what forces Cornflakes has not in the city? Or is there nothing to the east.

Enjoy the simming.

Enjoy the simming.

Need to reduce the castle first. If you don't reduce defenses...

...you'll loose something like 11 knights to kill a pike, axe, and two longbows.

I know it looks like I'm near strike, but that's not an issue, I've got Scooter keeping me afloat:

[Commodore]

Trying something...



We'll see. Move of his stuff is on the Eternal Front.

[Commodore]

Avoiding any poke-outs.
 


And in turn, poking in to see if Cornflakes is well-prepared.

Unexpected reinforcement on the part of the barbarian longbow. Wish they could help with the forking, tsk.
