True Believer
Haven't actuall played but ...
As you said, Vilcas, Vitcos, and Olly are all city size. If we assume they'll be defending with pikeman we should expect some moderate losses. The only way I see to counteract that is with 4-6 trebs PER CITY. that translates to 12 -16 trbs. We would also need what, 4-5 MI per city as well.
From a quick look at the save I see that we have 19 MI and 5 swords. If we go after those three cities, plus possibly tiwanaku and Arequipa, depending on successes, I would think 30 units in three stack of ten would suffice, attacking the three large first and simultaneously, and moving on to the other two. I hesitate to build the trebs because of the number we would need. No not just because i want to see some Inca blood (but I do) but more because you have to assume that they will get muskets soon. they already have invention.
BTW -- vilcambaba, the city the stole one of our dyes, is currently undefended. will send a JT or something there.
So, if I follow this plan, how many units do you think we will be facing when we move on to the two other cities? Do you see any major flaws?
I also did some quick math and if we get no more culture buildings (other than Sistine's), we'll total out around 17,500 culture. A couple more wonders and improvements, and it should be smooth sailing.
I know it's starting to get later, but I'll wait a while, or maybe till tomorrow to play.
