Figure we were stretching ourselves too much by trying to keep a hold on those resources on their continent.

Yeah, I know it's a shame. Can't speak for others, but with the end of the holidays it's getting pretty busy. If one or two others voice their interest in finishing it, I'd be more than happy to return to this game in a week or two.

I'm fully set up, so I can play.

Well, my brother managed to get my pc running again by swapping memory or something. I'm a little out of it, so, my question would be, are we at peace with Portugal? If not, I'd say make peace with everyone ASAP and continue building our invasion force. It's a shame nothing upgrades to flaks...

The choice on whether or not to make peace was based on whether or not we can or should prevend them to build more bombers and generate more culture. It can't be decided based on the information in this turn.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've run into serious issues with my pc. It refuses to boot on me and I can't get the stupid thing to start. I do still have the file from my start in the first turn, which I played on my laptop and mailed to myself. Problem is, random seed is off...

Sorry everyone, I'll try to finish things on Saturday. All the computer systems were down at work due to lightning and it's been a crazy week.

Thanks for the advice. As it stands, they have 15 bombers, with more on the way. So I see little hope if we can't protect our stacks with flaks. Still need The Corporation, Refinining, Steel, Combustion and Flight to build those. A safe steal will take about 3 turns to save up, so that would...

Locations:

Good advice. I did manage to locate one source of aluminium so far by accident, 1N of Sippar, but they have two more. . I found one disconnected source of oil 2 NE of Sagres. There's a really annoying connected tile of swamp inbetween Ollantaytambo, Vilcas and Rio Janeiro, out of...

Sorry for the delay, I'll start playing my turns tomorrow. Been a crazy week altogether so far. Hopefully sunday will be a little better.

I'll investigate a city to check their shield count and if they're mobilized I'll give the Babylonians a city.

:undecide: All right, so can we see if they're mobilized by counting shields after investigating one of their towns? If so, we might need to keep the current war going and mobilize ourselves.

Let's come up with an estimate, how many turns should we reserve for the military campaign and what kind of units do we need? We'll need enough bombers to take out their resources in a single turn and to dish out the most of the damage against units on the Portugese continent. Possibly a...

Should we worry about a cultural victory? 15 bombers isn't that much. If only we could have finished our own continent a bit sooner and we wouldn't be in this position now. I do feel we were quite close to preventing this scenario. As it stands now, it depends on how Portugal can beat us...
