Nero05: random deity

Pre-turn
Change to settler to grab some more usefull land, as Nothingham will not be very productive, expect this will be worth it. Create blockade, will just let the iro settler pair pass then clos it.
Drop science to 10% in stead of 20.

Don't think settler was wise. Rome has almost lost, they'll go after us soon. Think we should have taken advantage of the moment and start war now most units are in the south.
 
hey guys just got back from my trip which turned out to be free form improvisation mostly haha, let me know where you want me to slot in on the roster.
 
hmmm haveing a look we probably should have taken the opportunity to start the war. I'd suggest the next person up divert a force, it probably wont need to be too big, to take out the two iro cities up north while the main body of troops concentrates on holding the main front with the iros. We'll soon have a second source of incense... I could be missing something but the way it appears to me, the incense is outside the useable land of London, we already have a source hooked up, we cant trade it, so I think we would have been better served developing the land around our other cities first. But like I said I could just be missing something. We are going to need to go to war very soon. The advantage of just taking out the 2 cities to the north is its very doable, nets us some more (albeit rather dodgy) land up north and (rather less dodgy) land to the north-east and we could probably then sue for peace getting some techs. I think we need galleys to start scouting the waterways sooner rather than later as we need to discover the rest of the world, to get ourselves trading partners if nothing else, as atm even for peace the value of techs to the Iro will be huge.

Will take a more detailed look at the save (MM, troop numbers etc.) after a good sleep!

I'm due up next but I've played a turnset and you haven't so I think you should jump in ahead of me.

I agree that we need to strike soon, Iroquois should have some Swords by now, and the best we have is archers. Better to strike before they get too many. I don't think that the military is big enough to go in 2 directions, and I think we'll get better cities out of the South so I think that's the way to go. Those Iroquois cities up North are probably corrupt so they won't have much to throw at us to worry about defending against.
 
Thanks McLman but I'd prefer to avoid chopping and changing the roster as much as possible but if it suits better that way then I dont mind.
 
Almost agree with tupaclives, build army asap, move it south use reinforcements to fight in the north, those are corrputed cities and those will not pose a real treath.

Roster is no problem, what ever you decide. Can change roster in first post to prevent confusion.
 
with regards the roster the sensible thing to me would be to play as it is written (McLman, Nero) and as skips is listed after that just slot me in there after nero with smart to follow after me.
 
You know looking at the map I'm not convinced that the Iro do have iron after all. I dunno why but something tells me that there may in fact not be any source of iron on the island. I know its a long shot but I just have a really strong feeling that if there isnt iron on the island. I guess we'll find out later but its just no-one has actually reported seeing any swords yet and you'd think if they had iron they'd have a goodly number of them...

Still stick think we need to start a war asap, but atm we only have 6 archers and a couple of them are being used as mp so we cant go to war just yet, i'd wait till we have 10 archers we can deploy and then go wack the Iro's

again on the iron topic both iro and rome have IW, do we have enough cash to buy straight up for it or could we do a max run on philo, get it quickly and get say IW and maybe MM as well? Just a thought
