[BTS] Boudica of Ethiopia Emperor level. Always war to protect our sacred land.

German worker could find AI or their stacks. Perci must have a stack by now.

If your happy move on. Not too much to do here beyond pillage and finish indians.

We could form a new stack in middle and go on attack. Personally I think AI will use our roads against us.

 

[lymond]

Pillage good bit of gold down S ..I think we can finish Theo straight up.

Our medic axe does pose a problem

ok..move spear 1E and Axe 1W...advance everyone else SW

oh..ha...German WW wore off IBT...Aksum has happy

ok...all done I think..question is to adjust Aksum for growth this turn

too bad we don't have copper

hmmm..if Aksum does grow it is going to struggle to run scientists until we get more health

yep..FP should offset health issue....

 

[Fippy]

Team medic Axe up with Spear

AIs can use our roads, but remember they are not free of war weariness either, them losing stacks that come to us should be good.

Let's try, Aksum can take back fp cottage to balance health problems.
We want good cottages with our Academy anyways.

No taking off scientists please, we are already approaching paper.
No need for Theo micro, tech doesn't help
And yup, we can switch in wealth before Cats finish and only bring them out as needed.
Gondar should use cottage over mine.

Barb city for capture near Germans. If we don't the AI will. I really got to head off. Knackered. Was up 6.40ish today.

Consider use of wealth in places. These catapults will only add to costs. Albeit we have little or no defences here.

Should be 2 scientists every turn now. Sometimes too much micro is a bad thing.

 

[lymond]

how does this look for AA/Askum this turn ..next turn Aksum goes back to scientists

oh..finish Theo still good?

ah...gotcha...kept scientists and removed plains cottage for FP for growth.

save reuploaded

we may even get enough pillage gold..did not plan on lowering slider

i'm not really microing much at all right now accept for aksum...everything else is straightforward

i'm ready to move on

yeah..gondar on cottage

 

[lymond]

Pillaged about 40g or so..totally fine on slider this turn

Aksum is perfecto now

Bomb has a few guys but not a problem

Gilgs sacrificed two more workers for as to pay for..they were on the path..ha

Gondar gonna grow up to be a real nice city for us one day

Switched to Archer in Lali for now ..for yeha..no need to finish that cat yet

I think 2 cost one gold..I deleted two German ones last turn...we can certainly keep a couple to scout....running some around the S right now

We could check out that barb city with a few units in a bit..gumbo has a point with that..hate to lose units on it but our sword are so strong that I doubt they will
(but I plan to pillage everything I can first)

yeha..we may want this city nicely fortified..and it does need MP..though we could use cat for that in short term

I'll go wealth now..no urgency unless our Ice dude sees something

all right ...I'm good to go this turn
(did not even notice that..gumbo must have left it there for HR)

economy actually getting much better..we could afford a new city

GReEn

 

[Fippy]

I think workers cost much less than units lol, we can use them as scouts as long as they can imo.
Would suggest wealth, Archer hmm what for.

Yep can move Aksum cat over, plunder will not last forever and we can use gold.
I cannot see us defending much with Archers here, would prefer if units that return home can do that.

Yup we can see about new cities after the break.

I need sleep now, nitey and gl if you attack ~~

 

[lymond]

Think we should wait one turn on taking Bomb

see what you think..turn is basically done ...did bombard with accuracy..not nuf units this turn to take anyway...

Nitey... I can handle it..one more turn

 

[Gumbolt]

Take final city and we can take a break from this game. My gut is to send stacks to attack the AI. Keep them busy!!

Getting really late here too. Preserve units or accept some losses. Maybe preserve. No rush to kill city.

You don't have enough attackers to take it. Think our GS will be too late. So build up gold for GP.

 

[lymond]

Ok..I think I have everything in order..Actually had to play another turn as Bomb had 9 units in it the next turn...went from like 6 to 9 so he had some units outside the city I could not see...and we simply did not have enough melee for the last fight

Only lost two cats.

Looks like we are set for finishing Paper straight up in 4 turns with the city gold and the pillaging I've been doing..more where that came from.

Unfortunately WW from our Indian battles finally hit Aksum which went unhappy last turn ..so I adjusted off gold to keep scientists running...aksum will get its happy back next turn.

Peri built Colossus.

Think we should plan on settling one of rice spots for health alone.

Yeah..I say we finish Paper though and just accumulate gold while waiting for GS. Edu wil be huge cost anyway

 

[Fippy]

Good progress, for our plenty readers..we will switch to sgotm for now

An idea would be Feuda before Paper & Edu for GS timing, expensive but very good to team up Mona + Vass switch.
Also some longbows would be worth building, i think it's prolly worth those beakers.

 

[Tonny]

Looks like I've missed the massacre
