Pre-turn discussion

[donsig]

We could build the Great Library in 20 turns. It is not out of reach. We can still devote all our other cities production (the core cities) to military. I don't think we can take any of the Galls cities. We just have to prepare for any offensive they might make and try for a decent peace.

hence my drawn up peace treaty....

Yes, and you're doing an invaluable service for our team by talking to those Idiots. Keep 'em talking and perhaps we can get a peace deal within ten turns.

We will have a settler next turn. I need to know where we should settle. There has been talk of the North coast. East or West? Another option is in the warzone near the old Horsebomb site but that's risky. Let's pick a specific spot.

 

[BCLG100]

where the pike is, put a few pikes and maybe an immortal or 2 with it, we need to crowd the space so any peace treaty we would not be giving too much away, we can rush a walls and barracks there

 

[greekguy]

i think i suggested in anohter thread a little while back that we should settle one tile north of the pike, on the coast. i know it gives them a little room, but if we're quick with a library, we'll bring all the surrounding tiles in our border very soon.

 

[BCLG100]

i think we need to be quicker with walls and barracks, they are far more important, we can build a library after but theres no point in building a library in a city that will fall within a few turns...

 

[greekguy]

yeah, we should build walls in there quickly, but i think a lib. is more important than a barracks. we need to secure the border and a quick culture expansion will do that, barracks can be wait to later.

 

[BCLG100]

well i disagree, a barracks allows our units to heal immediatly, very handy if they attack. all of this with the right funds could be completed in 6 turns so thats not long. e.g.
walls 1 turn then rush
rax 1 turn then rush
lib 1 turn then rush.

waiting the one turn each time substantially lowers the price.

 

[donsig]

I have to play the turn in about six hours. Need to know if I should send the settler east, west or south. On the pike and north of the pike have been suggested. How about NE or even SW of the pike? We need a city close enough to defend. Here's the pic of the pike:



There are quite a few Iroqi units in the south. I suggest we rush pikes in Fruitbomb (84g) and Torusopolis (96g) and walls in Fort Corbonperoxides (76g). That's a total of 256g out of 700 gold in our treasury. I also suggest we move a few pikes down south. There's about ten MWs and a swordsman.



Here's the big picture:

 

[BCLG100]

I think walls would be better in them bottom 2 cities.

Do we actually have anything to move down south?

Plant the city north east of the pike, gives us another coastal city for in the future. Then move that pike guarding the iron round to help defend it.

Rush all the Pikes in DB and semtex and as many of the barracks around the country, its no use hoarding this gold we may as well use it, once we finish the rax have all the cities pumping out pikes and switch grenade to a settler.

 

[lost_civantares]

If we get peace with KISS we will units to move south.

We will have to get a library in that city soon though, I'm sure that KISS is really trying to get culture into those cities.

Remember also that there will be a ton of units in KISS cities too.

 

[greekguy]

i agree, we should rush all our barracks and pikes in our core. also rush 2 pikes in Fruitbomb and Torusopolis. don't rush walls in FC, instead stick with worker.

i think we shoudl build the city one tile north of the pike. it will be on the coast, be exactly 3 tiles away from Grenadapolos, so units could be moved there quickly when we setup roads. also, the city will be fairly far away from KISS, so we can see them coming if they want to attack and move reinforcements into the city before they reach the city.

We already have walls in the bottom two cities, but only one pike each. I really don't see the point in rushing units in our most productive cities (DB and Semtex). The reason for hoarding the gold is to give us flexibility to rush units in outlying cities if the Galls make a surprise landing on our coast somewhere.

 

[BCLG100]

Ah right sorry i didnt see them showing up on the picture screens

i see what you mean but then i think we should rush the barracks, wont take up all our gold and would mean we could keep rushing elsewhere while getting military production back on track.

the next cities should be along that east coast, this stops KISS from landing as many settlers to plonk down in cities as possible.

 

[greekguy]

if we don't rush pikes in our core, we should at least rush the barracks. this will allow us to build more vets in our core quickly, and we need those barracks up and running, since we're hoping for peace with the Galls within 10 turns, and we should try to attack one of their cities again before peace is declared.

 

[donsig]

Here's the warzone after turn 134. Our settler is in the tile with the cursor.

 

[Vind2]

i dont see a cursor I think when you hit print screen your cursor disapperas.

 

[BCLG100]

I imagine he is on the same tile as one of the pikes?

i assumed so too.

 

[BCLG100]

hmm if the greeks have engineering them workers arnt safe, any GS in Auda city can grab them, we can only hope they havnt.
