sorry i wasn't able to get a turn done on the weekend with the Fight on saturday and the super bowl on sunday. should be back on track now though, back to my minimum one a day. sorry bout the slowness over the last week and a bit

No worries Haggis. The Superbowl takes priority over this game (at least in North America).

We'll have to delay our attack on Sal's capital for at least 1 turn. Not only did his cultural protection go up to 40%, but a horse archer appeared in his capital. I pillaged his metal so that he can't whip any axes, swords or spears and then left my horse archer as bait. If he attacks it with his spear, we can take his capital next turn. If he doesn't attack, maybe we should take his secondary city to the southwest of his capital.

I'm half expecting a stack from Biz to show up at any time. I have a 2 team game going with Onclouds at Immortal level (1 level up from this game) and we're getting pummelled big time!

Great, we need that spear. The war is on!! Sal attacked my horse archer bait. It was a 50% battle, but I lost. I sacrificed my second horse archer against the spear, who was damaged (It's merely a flesh wound!).

Darren, you should attack Jaguar, Jaguar, Archer. Haggis will clean up. Haggis, attack with your spear last (if he's needed). Sal has a horse archer roaming around and it would be best to have a healthy spear ready to greet him.

This should break Sal's back (and the rest of his team as well). We can either take his last city, divert our attention to Biz, or sue for peace and build up for a few turns.

It looks like this might be close. Good luck Haggis!!

Haggis, what happened with taking Sal's capital? Did you stop for some reason? Were the odds bad? I think you should back out of the capital and pillage the horses on your way out (be sure to retreat through the woods for added safety. We need a bigger stack next time (this time with catapults) before we take him on again.

Dont forget to work the gold, we need to improve our research rate.

Darren, I noticed that you have queued up many builds in your city. I recommend against this because your build order may change based on what is happening in the game. For example, you need to mix in a few catapults now that we have Construction.

I stopped my attack last turn because A: I had three men, and they had 4. B: My first guy died. the other two killed their target.

That's strange that Sal had 4 units. I wonder if Sal plays his turn after Darren or me...

Darren, watch out for the barb axe coming.

 

[Haggisman]

GPS Mitchum

Yeah that computers play their turns between ours is the only explination I could think of for Sal having 4 units.

Darren...thanks for joining Subcritical Films group on facebook. but, add me!

[Mitchum]

Darren, you should send the save to Haggis again.

 

[Darren Jones]

Sorry guys, will resend the turn when i get home later
