Excellent landing execution scout! Now a question: do we keep Furbomb? i would suggest keeping it at least one turn to see what TNT's response is. We also need to get some combined arms (defenders and trebs) across to help the overall effort.

and the only rumble is from my empty belly.
chime the bells and ring the chimes, war is upon us!

I opened the save GmaH...I opened it and saw....that TNT has abandoned Furbomb. The diplo screen also popped and they're wondering if we might consider peace 
. It looks like we will have a fast ride straight into their core. Have fun Scout!

OMG!!! Scout had said doing that would be their BEST tactical move, but their WORST strategic move.Daghdha said:I opened the save GmaH...I opened it and saw....that TNT has abandoned Furbomb. The diplo screen also popped and they're wondering if we might consider peace

Yeah it is. Since I couldn't move anything I don't know how far we'll get or what to encounter, but things are looking way cool 
lurker's comment: For inexperienced PBEM players (Bede?) the error of opening the diplomacy screen to check out your enemy and forgetting to click "clear table" leads to a peaceoffer being send to that enemy.
KISS did the same to TNT.

yup the one and only... we extended the April Fools' Avatar switch to a week. It's already gotten under RM's skin. and Whomp and scoutsout have confused more than 2 people with their switch.Ansar_the_King said:Also, Tubby Rower, isnt that Furiey's avatar and sig?

That warrior scout is a veteran... Why haven't they upgraded him? seems odd to not have him in a barracks city to be upgraded if needed.
Should we plant a couple of GS next to their lookout mountain to take him out?

I agree with Bede. We will need firepower to take a city. That warrior isn't going to hurt anything right now.
There is a galley right next to him. I was just wondering if those re-"enforcements" should be rewarded with a little cat and mouse game.
Also, What about the worker... Should we capture him?

@scout: don't be too worried about WW yet. However, be aware that the biggest trigger for WW in Republic is to lose a town (-30 modifier iirc). So, if we establish or take a town, we need to be able to defend it. Killing units builds up WW too, so take a close look at the WW thread in the strategies forum.
WW can be quite funny in pbems. In my game vs akots, we were in a locked war yet both of us made it to the Modern Age while in Republic. WW would kick in and out during the game due to units being in and out of each others territory, and I found a use for Cathedrals, but overall I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Too bad that warrior is not in range, as it would have been an easy kill to kick off our GA.

Log for Turn 118, 240 B.C. 49 turns to D-Day (the MIA one).
IBT - TNT comes a-calling. Nothing on the table with them... but put peace on the table and hit "clear table" for good measure. (1bpt to Rik)
Ignoramus Settler>Settler
SKWTD Gallic Sword>Redux
Gilfach Gallic Sword>Pikeman
Idiote Aqueduct>Market
We get a palace expansion, and I opt for an idiotic decor. Persian looking steps... to remind us of where we were putting our jackboots when we got this expansion.
F-checks: 113g+95gpt, Invention in 12.
MIA has slipped ahead of us in land, 18% to 17. Population is 33% to our 31. We're up in score by 10 points, 740 to 730. We've slipped to #2 in MFG.
We're still up Engineering on MIA.
Worker stuff: Jive Talker roads a jungle at Fortress of Stupidity. RegentMan moves towards Dionysus. Pliskenator roads a Tobacco tile outside Paradise Hotel. Crakie moves to a grassland tile at Frozen Lake. Lovely Holly roads a plains tile at Crackhead. Own moves to a jungle tile that needs to be roaded so I can plant a settler between our luxury towns. Smart Guy moves to the banana at Senilityville. Lenny roads at Village d'Idiota. Ginger moves south to a grassland tile that will be claimed after a border expansion at Village d'Idiota.
Unit stuff: Dispatch a Trebuchet to Senilityville. Settler heads west out of Ignoramus. Igor continues towards EWR. Fool's Errand heads west. Happy Camper hits the jungle 2NW of Senilityville just to make sure the barb warning isn't a problem. Gilfach's Gallic Sword heads to Senilityville. SKWTD's new Gallic heads for the rally point. Gallic Swordsman Scoutsout heads for the Rally Point.
City Stuff: Spend 12g on a Gallic Sword short-rush at Frozen Lake. Spend 36g on an archer short rush of the Trebuchet at Paradise Hotel. Spend 52g short rushing an archer into Notthefullshilling's Library.

See a border...and what may be a rockpile NW of our position.
Gallic Swordsman Invincible heads W, NW, ... the border and the rockpile just don't make sense. Waste 2 movement points going S and then N again...
then grab Mad Max. W, NW, NW... and spot another undefended city.
Doesn't look like we get our GA this turn team. Move the rest of the troops out, and take a couple of screenshots.
Chumbucket offloads Bugsy's Blade and Dirty Harry NW of lookout mountain.

Take down science, fiddle with the specialists... Finish the turn at 13g, +129gpt, Invention in 14.
Forest chop to Knucklehead at the end of the turn, market in 14...and that town grows again next turn.
