Turns 81 to 90

Turn 81

Powdered founded. Our MW from the WC squad takes a peek and find the TNT build up on the road in the jungle is 4 immos and 3 horses. MIA is transporting their warrior further north. TNT is building the Mausoleum of Mausollos, although it may just be a pre build for something else.
Springfield builds MW starts Setttler
Sugar builds MW starts another one (DS squad now complete)
Also Glazed is suffering a lot from corruption, should we build a courthouse their or just leave it for the time being.

We got 8 MW's and 5 swords + spears in defence, what do you think

I think we may want get KISS or MIA to aid us in this war. It might be beneficial to have another ally attacking TNT. Plus it really wouldn't be much risk to them as they are on another continent. If TNT really did directly attack one of them they would leave the rest of their cities open to attack.

KISS is the more likley ally. However, TNT would do everything possible in such event to get MIA on thier side. MIA is already testing us, i think.

KISS is definitley stronger than MIA. If we can get KISS to aid us in the war by sending a few units to aid us that would be great. It would force TNT to divert time to defeat those units. Then TNT may consider getting MIA to aid them and attack KISS. This would allow KISS to destroy MIA or TNT while we save ourselves and get some of TNT land. If MIA realizes KISS is stronger they may not join in the war with TNT but rather with us and we dogpile TNT.

Turn 82 - 1000BC

CR squad comes accross barb horseman who offers no resistance.
Our northern warrior get a warm reception from TNT, he has seen what he wanted to and is moved west.
Never Again builds MW starts another
Crunch builds spear starts another
Warrior upgrade to sword in Chocolate
Glazed swiches production from spear to barracks.
We can now build the forbiden palaces so suggestions as to where it should go are welcome.
TNT finshes Mausoleum in Semtex (must have been a prebuild)
197g +7gpt MM in 4.
Also is everyone still in favour of doing monarchy next.
Finally happy new year everyone

Why are we building a temple in Shelbyville? Does it already have a granary? If so it should go with a settler or become a 2 turn worker factory.

FP should go to the North to use the hills/mountains. This places it in the second ring, and reduces the corruption of the 2nd and 3rd ring cities. I think it would be highly beneficial there. No other city location will give the commerce or shields that that as yet unfounded site will.

What are the names of the armies? What do they stand for? Also, i would recommmed blocking MIA from seeing the wines (in next city site)with our curraguah.

I think the names are:
WS: Welcoming Squad
DS: In honor of DaveShack
CR: Crullers Revenge.

Turn 83

A very busy turn for us. TNT has launched their attack out of the jungle with 3 horses and 6 immos. They also surrounded our warrior in the north. The trailing CR squad member comes accross a MIA horseman. Finally our CR squad comes across another barb horseman.

I circle the MIA horseman to try to avoid suspision that he is heading north to attack TNT. The barb horseman doesn't pose any problems to our CR squad and is killed. A barb camp is revealed. Our northern warrior withdraws further from TNT territory.

Since TNT's horseman are in striking distance of our own i launch and attack. Sadly i forgot to take a screenshot after the event so you will have to make do with the screenshot before the attack with lots of lines and the battlelog i posted below. The attack was a complete success

Battlelog for Turn 83
Mounted Warrior WC3 (3/3) vs Horseman Hooman (3/3) Hooman killed, WC3 loses 0HP, promoted
Mounted Warrior WC1 (3/3) vs Horseman Kaven (4/4) Kaven killed, WC1 loses 1HP
Mounted Warrior WC4 (3/3) vs Horseman Hamru (4/4) Hamru killed, WC4 loses 1HP

These MW wins revealed the postions of 6 TNT immos. These MW's are now in the firing line, so we might lose them however i'm hoping some of the withdraw. The remaining 3 MW's in the area take up positions behind them to back them up so they will be in position to attack the immos if they advance.
Again sorry for forgetting the screenshot if this still isn't clear.

Chocolate builds spear starts MW
Coffee builds spear starts another
Science reduced for 80% to 70% as it makes no difference to the turn MM is due

Now to answer some of the recent questions.

@killercane Unfortunatly the war with TNT means most of the production has gone into curning out units rather than settlers and workers leaving us at a disadvantage compared to MIA and KISS so since we could build as many cities as them we are trying to make our fewer cities hold more people to offset some of the disadvantage

@vikingruler The problem is that both KISS and MIA are going along pretty good as it is so they have no real need to get involved in the war as they have nothing to gain from it at the moment.

@xyourxmomxcorex
WC- welcoming committee
CR- crullers revenge
GS- goat shepards
DS- Daveshack
I use the initials as im too lazy to constantly type out the names in full. They are mainly there to distingish the different groups so its easier to describe the different event. The other units arn't named as they are mostly deployed in the cities and don't move around to much

wow. just wow. admiring the TNT tactics of bringing troops right into an ambush.

donsig also attached a little note, i get the feeling he is frustrated

General Robi D,

I'm sure there will be much celebrating in the Iroqi camps tonight. Whatever sacrifices you have made to your god of war (known by us as RNG) have been well worth it. Do your gods run back to your cities like those warriors of yours riding the infernal four legged beasts? No, don't bother to send an answer. We will see for ourselves soon enough.

what......from a few tiles away from the last time?

Excellent we not only survived a Immortal attack but we came out on top. I suggest retreating our troops to heal and then attacking at full force.

Turn 84

More good news from the battle front. We killed 3 immortals with our MW's. Unfortunatly we did lose one MW in the attacks but with an overall scoreline for this battle being 7-1 we have reason to be happy. We do have 3 MW's with only 1HP so our forces have withdrawn out of the way to heal. TNT only have 2 immos left plus whatever they might have still lurking in the jungle.

And i counld resist having a little dig back at donsig

Dear Grand Vizeer Donsig,
Grand Vizeer of Ironic and Iroqi people??? That a bit of a lofty title don't you think considering your all mighty army of doom hasn't
even gotten past our 1st line of defence, let alone our 2nd or 3rd lines. Maybe it was it was a mix up in the lines of communication,
you know one of those chinese whisper things, where the message starts off as "Send reinforcements, were going to advance" but by
the time it reaches its destination has changed to "Send beer and breathe mints, were going to a dance". Then again maybe if you
spent as much time training your troops as you do coming up with grandious titles for yourselfs they would know which way to point the
sharp end of their swords and spears.

Turn 85

Well another turn, another victorious battle. I decided to role the dice again to see if we could finish off this attack once and for all. It went better than i had hoped as we lost no units while killing 3 from TNT (immo, 2 horseman). We still might lose one to the other TNT horseman when they have their go, but our back up has arrived so that should be too much of an issue, we are afterall 10-1 up in the battle so far. Here is the battlelog.

Battlelog for Turn 85
Mounted Warrior DS squad4 (3/4) vs Immortal Babek (4/4) ; Babek loses 2HP, DS 4 loses 2HP and withdraws
Mounted Warrior WC squad3 (1/4) vs Horseman Theoden (4/4) ; Theoden killed, WC 3 loses 0HP and promoted

Mounted Warrior WC squad2 (2/4) vs Immortal Babek (2/4) ; Babek killed, WC 2 loses 0HP
Mounted Warrior WC squad4 (1/3) vs Horseman greekguy (3/3) ; greekguy killed WC 4 loses 0HP
I believe that makes the scoreline 10-1 for this battle so far.

I am most impressed with our military! Now if only we could threaten them on there doorstep perhaps we could decively end this war!

That would be very nice to destroy TNT. However they no doubt have reinforcements of their own so that would be hard to do. We should negotiate peace with fair terms and rebuild any losses and then consider an invasion of Persia.
