Dutch: Mostly bombarded the countryside and killed 1 German Infantry. Distributed suicide pills to the millions of populace to take when the Panzers arrive.
Koreans: Bombarded two Greek Galleons that picked up their raiding force, sunk one with one of my Fighters that was within range. Bombarded Greek units and some Greek (ex-traitorous Byzantine) terrritory. Also distributed suicide pills to the population.
Worker gotos: Can we clear this up? My understanding is that since the next turn you can't really move your workers, so you really aren't getting a free turn out of them, correct? The goto bug really only affects military units as their extra move can get a defender into position earlier and is thus cheating, correct?
I was going to show a picture of the bombarded Dutch countryside which is totally ruined 4 spaces in all around...to try to ignite a squirm of conscience in the Portuguese Leader to show what his Oil (Bombers) is doing to tens of thousands of innocent (now starving) lives, but the effort would be futile. (both from the intention of it, and I couldn't figure out how to remove the cities (build orders) in the picture to give Dogboy intelligence.
Speaking of which, I accidentally hit the end turn without adjusting all my build orders. We are playing "no reloads", correct? So I just let it go.

We are playing no reloads. That's why my turns are taking about 15 minutes per civ now. Lots to do and I want to make sure I move every unit that I want to move, check city production/happiness, etc...
As for the "goto" feature. I think it is ok if you do it for workers but not for military units. It is so much easier to do the "build road to here" button as opposed to moving my workers every turn, hit the build road button, then move more workers. Just don't use it for military units.

not a very successful round
german battleship bombarded and sank off Malaca
bombarded greek stack on a mountain, then lost 3 infantry, 1 cavalry before stopping attack after decided too risky unless the RNG was kind
greek look-out frigate was also sunk

Greeks:
Bombed units in Dutch city of Delft
Bombed units in Dutch city of Amsterdam and roads around it. (bye bye oil)
Bombed Korean roads around Pusan
Bombed English battleship near Pusan
Germans:
Destroyed in Delft: Temple, Marketplace, Library, Courthouse, Harbor, many citizens
Bombed roads around Delft
Bombed roads around Arnhem
Lost a bomber to a Dutch fighter.
Shot down a Dutch interceptor!
Bombed some iron tile in Carthage lands.
I noticed something very strange this turn. Zurichuk was blessed with super transports. Somehow Zurichuk was able to magically make a bunch of transports and sail them over the Dutch lands and Korean lands. I didn't count the exact number of units I saw in Korean lands, but it looked to be around 25 or so. I don't know how many units I saw in Dutch lands because I was flying my bombers over, but he had two different stacks. Or maybe Zurichuk doesn't have magical transports. Maybe he had been planning on coming over anyway? That would explain his answer to me in the e-mail. So maybe DogBoy isn't the only warmonger around here?

The Dutch, after hearing intelligence about the bloody and rapacious Hun's new secret project that will revolutionize the Infantry state of Warfare, collectively decided to commit mass suicide in the front-line cities. This involved the destroying of some of the Worlds great Wonders. After much agonized consideration, they decided to destroy them rather than let them fall into the crazed hands of the immoral and rapacious Germans & Greeks, who would probably end up using them as latrines and brothels anyway....
Dutch:
Abandoned Arnheim
Abandoned Middleburg
Abandoned Utrecht
Abandoned Deflt
Abandoned Amsterdam
The Hanging Gardens - Destroyed!
The Great Lighthouse - Destroyed!
The Great Library - Destroyed!
Sun Tzu - Destroyed!
Newton's University - Destroyed!
Korea:
Abandoned Pusan
Misclicked on an Artillery - ready to be captured by the Greeks.

i cannot comment on this completely as it would be a huge spoiler, but at the time you declared war i had one transport landed over there, that had landed without the human concerned being aware that i had done so, can i say 'decoy' and 'luck' and 'right under someones nose' in the same sentence?
DogBoy
Deity
Yes, you can say that in one sentence. And if I think I know what you are thinking, then you could have agreed to what I posted in the e-mail. You instead didn't agree to it, which made me think I was right in what I was thinking the first time. Now, either I was right in what I was thinking the first time. Or, I was wrong in thinking what I was thinking the first time, and you got to thinking that your thinking wasn't going to work to your advantage, so you changed your thinking and thought you had better do a different course of action. Know what I mean?

Hmmm....I guess I'm just slow on the uptake here. It seems Dogboy has been talking to everyone behind the scenes in this game except me? What? Do I have bad breath or startling horrific body odour or something?
DogBoy
Deity
Well they don't call you SmelloJello for nothing 
But in truth, I have been talking to everyone about private stuff. Some people want to see things my way, some people don't. I didn't bother sending you any message because you are the #1 target right now.
Battle reports:
Greece:
Captured Korean artillery (thank you)
Captured 4 Dutch workers (thank you)
Bombed CARTHAGE units in Korea AND Dutch lands. That is a LOT of units in Dutch land.
Germany:
Killed those 3 Dutch infantry on that mountain in German lands. I lost 3 infantry doing so. I had to bomb they all with artillery because they all got promoted to elite.
Bombed that stack of Carthage units in Dutch land. Yes, that HUGE stack.

one greek mountain stack bombarded down to 1 hp
lethal bombard of 1 greek infantry and 1 frigate
lethal bombard of cruiser? in your german island city, 2nd one had the rng gods on-side, pop down to 1
yep aerial lethal bombard in c3c is one of the things i like but really gives the human an even bigger advantage over the AI, better than artillery (strange that it is not in the Pacific scenario though)

Yep, those Flak units seem to have twice the defense value listed for them. I've lost so many Marines in the Pacific Scenario to them it isn't even funny! (for me!)
Abandoned Den Helder and disbanded the remaining two Elite units (MASADA!) Otherwise bombarded all available enemy units in range in both Korea and Netherlands.

Not much to report. Just bombarding Dutch and Greek stacks of doom on the borders.
The Dutch did kill 4 German red-lined Infantry with Cavs, but lost the 5'th Cav attack. (Eindhoven)

1 greek infantry bombarded to dust (maybe 2 - couldn't see the downfall), David the pikeman of biblical proportions amphibiously captures and dismantles 7 artillery
so much for a rushed invasion force

Battle Reports:
Greece:
Killed David (A PIKEMAN) the artillery killer. Ok, I thought only marines could do amphibious attacks. Did something happen in the new patch that I'm not aware of? I'm glad you did that instead of one of my cities. Up until just last turn, all my cities except the front line cities were defended by one infantry. Now, they are all guarded by at least 3, some cities more.
Bombed the Korean units.
Germany:
Sunk the battleship by Salzburg with one bomber!
Lost EIGHT (AS IN OCHO) bombers over Dutch land! How in the name of all that is good in this world did I lose EIGHT bombers?
Lost TWO bombers over Korean land. Called off all bomber attacks.
