SGOTM 12 - One Short Straw

[bcool]

NY finished Moai still T154

 

[LowtherCastle]

T155 Bahamas whips galley
T156 Fort is finished
GG on the galley on T156 and heading towards the mainland (his vacation will be cut as short as possible)

Excellent. WIth engineering, the GG will only need two turns from the banana tile to settling in Moscow on T160. SO we get two or three trebs without CRII. We're fine.

Onward!

China has 3 cities Beijing 651 sabotage, Nan 524 sabotage, Chengdu 741 sabotage

Rosey has 3 cities btwn 6-700 Washingotn, Boston, Atlanta

no other over 200

Time to reassess we lost another macemen at 80+ odds

Uploaded the save. We have a few 10 xp units but can't upgrade them. Still not a good plan to sacrifice chariots and swords against Orleans

Could whip a macemen out of Paris instead of a trireme? Mace in Moscow (would dealy HE even further)
Mace could be whipped in Fish

Sorry guys.

What are the unit counts right now?

Edit: nvm - you've obviously uploaded.

I don't see any problem, bcool. No more attacking this turn, but just keep on. I'd unload the cat in Paris and move it to the SW hill. Move the medic to Orleans NE. Finish everything else for your turn and check how much the archer heals himself. He might have gotten enough XP for another promotion, or not. If not, evaluate the situation and see if you can take Orleans. You can consider suiciding another cat if you need to. We've gone too far to turn back now. It's not going to get any easier. But of course we don't have to be stupid either. We have two cats to suicide next turn or three the following. Maybe no suicides will be necessary. Wait till next turn to decide.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Move our axes back to the gems tile. Maybe they'll join the battle.

Oh, but otherwise, I wouldn't start freaking out and changing our MM. Just continue as planned. Paris-trireme, etc.

 

[bcool]

Ok, is there a way to assess the odds stack vs stack?

I'll finish this turn and see what it is like.

The axes need to protect Rheims no? Maybe just move one?

 

[LowtherCastle]

Reviewing your progress, all he currently has left is an archer and an unpromoted axe. YOu've got a bunch of units and CHurchill has also arrived with a CI axe...

Churchill will play his turn before dG, unfortunately, so if he attacks he'll have ~25% odds against the sword. Then that sword can heal. Hopefully won't get a promotion.

I think you have a good chance of taking Orleans next turn.

 

[bcool]

And what should I build in Moscow since I can't build the Heroic Epic?

 

[LowtherCastle]

Both axes can go to the gems. They prtect Rheims better there and still threaten Marseilles. Then we'll see. THey're probably too far from Orleans to help anyway.

Nto sure about odds stack versus stack. Just have to do it unit by unit. He doens't have much left, but could draft a unit. If you want, play till <enter> then we'll look at the odds beforeyou commit yourself to a suicide or whatever.

Units?

 

[LowtherCastle]

Build wealth in Moscow to preserve the overflow. Then we'll get HE in 2t. (although in SG10 we got screwed out of our OF once, but I never figured out why)

 

[bcool]

I could build a catapult perhaps overflow would still be enough

 

[LowtherCastle]

I don't think so.

 

[bcool]

77 hammers - 50 for catapult = 27 / 1.75 = 15
15 + 29 base * 3 =132
29 base * 3 = 87
132 +87 > 200
QED

crossbow even works

 

[bcool]

Boston has 2514 sabotage production (whipped a lot of forests?)

 

[LowtherCastle]

Boston didn't have any forest to chop. It was at pop10 in your last save. Poprush? Edit: Actually pop9 in the last save. No poprush. Possibly that's an old build that he switched back to. Can't explain it otherwise.

Edit2: Yes, he chopped one forest for 30h. Plus a max of 12hpt + forge + OrgRel. 42hpt * 2.5 if stone wonder = 105 h * 13.6 = 1428. Does that cover the difference?

Build the cat in MOscow, then.

 

[bcool]

10 pop last turn, really strange (oh well don't know that unless we get a map, so yeah probably)

 

[bcool]

Well DeG whipped an archer, he has 7 units on defense his hillx2 archer is at 1.2. We have 7 somewhat reasonable attackers 3 macemen 6.8 CRIII, 5.6 CRIII, 5.6 CRII, 2 Swordsmen CRI, 2 chariots one with CI and Melee bonus, 1 Macemen at 1.2 CRI

Chariots would die against spearmen unless we hit a spearmen with a catapult for the last 2 attacks

odds against healthy newly produced archer with macemen CR III 6.8 health is 96.15% but the CI axe will pose a challenge this turn.

looks like we wait until next turn or sacrifice both cataults this turn one at the beginning and once when we have just a spearman and archer left so chariots can finish.

I think the odds of winning are low this turn

He most likely will not produce another unit next turn we will have 1 turn of healing and another mace for the attack, but the new archer is promoted and fortifies 1 turn.
Maybe just kill the new archer this turn? with 6.8 CRIII mace
