SGOTM 20 - The Shawshank Redemption

I also like making the scout a super medic and giving the remaining eps to other units. Not sure we really need amphibious. We might for SBarbs, though. That's a thought. Maybe keep the GG till our caravel gets around there, to see if we need it for something special.

Is there something special?

We could make a CVI HA. That's pretty awesome, I suppose.
 
k. I'll not promote any HAs I'll just make some with extra xp. I might even find something other than 5xps. Our scout only needs 1xp, so I could combine him with more than 3 HAs.

Still not sure where the hindu missionary is going. Jameso?

I'm playing now...
 
Turnset Report T116 - ?

question: should i give Rouen to JC? Answer, no gifted to Louise

T116:

I start with an attack on each of 3 spears:
at Yak : We win 2 with C1shock HAs :banana:
Nappy: HA withrdraws :)

Ok, Now Yak should be easy cleanup:
At 60%... we withdraw.
Then I finish him with chariot.
Yak is ours.

Now let's see if we have to CF Nappy....
Our spear at 75% hits HA. Wins, 2.0 health.

Might as well finish the Nappy spear while it's injured. Check.

DoW Vicky, bride Church with MC (so we can trade Machinery if we want, and AC has MC)

IBT:
Vicky: Hanging G
Islam and Hindu spread (not to us)
JC will trade Dye
Barb Galley appears near Faug

Sid Mtn
Chariot survives 1 attack!
Chariot sacrifices himself. Good job, hero.

T117
Kill redlined archer at SidMtn. Move in for the kill next turn.

We can see inside St. Pete (last turn actually) with our galley/sentry
He has archer, spear, axe, chariot.

Hastings
We also could see in this last turn.
Sword, Axe, Archer (galley, wb, settler)
CII hits the sword and dies.
upgrade C1shock HA, kills Axe!
Naked HA goes at Archer and dies.
Clean up sword and archer at ~80-85% each.
142 capture gold- granary.

We trample a couple roaming chariots Peter had.

Sbarbs : more mountains

Churchill gets Compass, we get a date to the prom (and 30 bucks)
Churchill get Machinery and 350:eek: for Feudal. Hopefully we'll get it back next turn.

Spot a barb galley at Ebarbs.

Peter and Nappy will capitulate. Not so fast. Maybe later

JC: Dyes for cow

IBT:
Ebarbs Galley attacks caravel. 1.6 health remaining...and we are approached by a Tri and another galley:eek:. Plan is to lure them around.

Moai gives around 750 gold

T118
Sid Mtn
We unloaded 5 HAs last turn.
2 naked HAs go in. One dies, one withdraws.
2 more HAs take the city!
Holy city #4
123 gold, lighthouse, Shrine

Nappy archer approaches Louise's Rouen. We kill at 96%.

We get our first look at South Sbarbs. see attached.

York has only 2 CG1 archers, but that city is in Churchill culture. LC, did you have a specific plan after Hastings?
Our galley chain was in position and 2 more HAs travel quickly to Vicky.

We trade Optics and get Construction+180

IBT:
Islam spreads to Yak
AC converts to Islam
3 workers :drool: run and hide in St. pete. There are no other new defenders :D

T119

Here we go on Peter...
St. Peters
Naked HA, withdraws form Spear at 22%
C1shock dies to Axe
C2 at 57% Wins against spear!
C2 ar 49% on Archer...withdraws.
Should be just a matter of cleanup now.
3 wins at 92-99%. 132 gold, granary, Mids

:eek: Whoa look at that!:
Spoiler :
I brought a stack from Yak cus I know when borders change I can get a look at Yaroslavl

It has only one Sword!

Good thing I brought 4 horses.:D I will have to cross a river, but it's worth it.
I take one loss and capture Yaroslavl: 131 gold, lighthouse.

Oh, and there's a stray worker. :assimilate:
We got a Great Merchant. Not sure we care what it was, We're probably doing the golden age

I promised Jastrow I'd simplify, so let's deal with Nappy's...
Avignon.
I need those HAs to finish this and heal cus the boats to Ebarbs are leaving soon.

90% - win
80-something% - win
I decide we don't really need this axe to defend...and it has CRII
71% - win
40-something gold.
3 more workers!

If you're counting, that's 7 workers (spoke too soon.. 8 workers this turn. Not even counting the one from Vicky last turn.
I picked up the last worker from Oxford.

I plan to advance to the next turn, clean up the save, cancel orders, etc. and hand off to Jastrow...but that will have to wait until morning.

We get Sugar+1 for Ivory (Louise)

IBT:
JC / AC
peace.

T120
Manually spread Hindu to Twerks, Cuc, Jameso, and Islam to Ruins.

Rouen to JC? Hm... thinking about it.

That'll get us -4 negmods with AC. How about liberating it to Louis after Nappy is gone? (Gifting it now doesn't give us liberation plusmods.)

Are we planning to capture that barb city?

Not sure nappy will be gone that soon.
I'd rather just ditch it now. It's a money pit.

how about i give it to Louis now? Nappy can capture it, or i can pick off units going there, and we'll have easy kills (instead of 4 hills/archers in grenoble.
 
I prefer Louis for sure. We're not planning to DoW him. It might push us up to -2 for border tensions. But most important is the port for Moses, so we keep that. It would be a great commerce city, but maybe takes too long to develop. 29cpt at pop5.

Plus, as soon as we capture Avignon, it breaks even.

You do what you think is right. It should get Moses spread quickly.
 
On the other hand, a bird in teh hand is worth two in the bush. Rouens will easily have 2 temples by T40. IF we want 35 such cities, we need 16 more.

gave it to Louis. We could always let nappy take it and get it back. Saves us 20 gpt.

playing on. See report above.
 
Yes, thx, I saw that partial last turn. I get a galley next turn. Should I send it out to get attacked and see if we win defensively?
I sure wouldn't. That galley now is worth much more than the fish nets now.

What happened to the caravel that was there. It was defensive for that island, which is spawning barb galleys left and right.
