I am thinking of an allie for the longer run. We will be sharing wars and all.
Yeah, looks covered for now.She's has to get more then 75% of the votes which isn't possible in the current situation as the Team-AI has enough votes to save us. And we'll be busy getting more AI stripped of buddhism. I also think that toku being in a completely different religion is more beneficial to us than him converting to hinduism, which he might do as soon as he gets it.
But maybe i'm missing your point completely.
Regarding the war situation, i would wait to get atleast another xbow or two in our stack using the whip/chop in the nearest cities (osaka and kyoto) and then start the war. Hoping hatshe and genghis aren't going to roam around our borders trying to get through to kago, as it would be difficult to defend and delaying our attack a bit.
If everybody is fine with that, i'd play in a couple of hours.
Agreed, would rather lose the game trying to win the competition than win the game in last place...The aim is to win the SGOTM, not just win the game. Can't be too risk averse. Advocate attacking next turn, even if it means having to deal with complexities.
Is it time to use the Great Prophet for our Golden Age and some additional cash and hammers? Also, stop paying maintenance on him? Perhaps have one city switch to research to get enough beakers to complete Engineering?Can we not still gain gold from pillaging the two villages W and SW of Memphis? If so, probably wise to do so in the next four turns, even if we are going to be using those tiles in 5 turns. We need to get Engineering and pikes. BTW, why continue to pay maintenance on our engineeer?
As we have OB with Toku, could gift him a Hindu Missionary if we have some extra hammers to build him one?Argue against building military units in cities without barracks at this point. Prefer switching back to OR and building missionaries in Kyoto and eventually Tokyo, or at least just build research after present units are completed.
Understand, I was thinking more in terms of getting Engineering soonest, before too many War Elephants begin showing up. Going to need Pikes.The longer we wait for the GA and keep taking cities and growing, the more remunerative it will be. Would make sense to use it now if it is the only way to get Engineering in a short time. Since taking additional cities soon seems likely, advocate against its use right now, but need to keep it in mind.
Hope you have a good trip, nice and safe.I will be out of town and out of touch tomorrow.
You cannot keep that to yourself!Hot here in France, the snow bunnies barely got any clothes on.....
