Pressed end turn.

AP vote comes up:

Spoiler :

I'd vote No simply to keep them busy.

-----------------------

You can see that Toku us willing to talk now.

There's only 2 Cui (Cui4,5) could attack the spice city the fastest. Send 1 with 1~3 flanking HAs should be enough.

Normal luck : 1Cui + 1 HA
Safe: 1Cui + 2HAs
Really not confident about yourself: 1Cui +3HAs.

You're right about my confidence here, I did send 2 Cuirs (both of them can attack on T129 along with the HAs). I can still pull 1out

 

[Duckweed]

You should vote yes since that would make Alex happy. The result would 100% be "stop the war" since Alex and HC will vote yes. Anyway does not matter.

About the units to Toku, you could send 1 Cui this turn to take a look 1st and then decide how many are needed.

 

[Doshin]

No is fine. Not like we have any say in the matter, anyway.

 

[pomthom]

As the saying goes: LOL

Spoiler :

I'll stick with 3 Flanking + 1 Cuir because I have be known to be unlucky...

This, however, means we can cease fire with TOku

 

[Doshin]

You could use the 'go to' function to see what odds the Cuirassier receives against the LB.

Cease-fire is fine with me.

Combat II has 82%. The city didn't have a border pop right?


-----------------------


EDIT: Slider 0% in Constitution?
KK has learned Compass

 

[Duckweed]

The odd will be lower next turn.

 

[Doshin]

0% in Constitution, yes.

We have ~80 in Compass, IIRC. It will be tough to get that and Engineering in a peace deal.

 

[pomthom]

Do we leave the Southern WII Axe near Toku's border or send him North?

North, pressing end turn
(Alex has 90G now, but is still not getting close to any tech that we know)

 

[pomthom]

We captured Mycenian losing 2 HAs and founded Fish & Ships.

Things are going well, I've uploaded the EOT 129 if someone can take a quick look at city builds (some cities are resuming Markets instead of Cuirs while regrowing).

Also I think we should upgrade 3 HAs to Cuirs this turn on the KK border (those that aren't medic or flanking) for 510G

 

[pomthom]

Depending on the moves from the wandering barb LBs, Cuirassier 17 or 19 will move north next turn to escort the Workers

Forgot to upgrade our Medic to a Maceman before uploading but it's now done

 

[Duckweed]

Yes to upgrade, also upgrade another cIII HA next turn.

Remember to assign some level 4 units (at least 4) in the north stack.

 

[pomthom]

Remember to assign some level 4 units (at least 4) in the north stack.

You mean the stack that will depart from AA?

 

[Duckweed]

^Yes, each city needs some level 4 units to deal with tough defenders.

About city build:

Yeha: Edit: Culture+granary, there's a forest can be chopped.
Const: Market, it needs to grow and work on the cottages.

 

[Duckweed]

Moreover, try to send an axe to the island city. AI won't do amphibious attack, but will attack an empty city.

 

[Doshin]

Save looks good.

Constantinople: Ivory > Hamlet?
Cornish Cow: is the Cow better than the Iron?
Yeha: Granary
Fish & Ships: after the GA ends, run a citizen for +1H in Culture

Great General Axe: upgrade
Horse Archers: I'm fine with the upgrades

The Workers roading towards the Crab site are at risk from Barbarians. Keep a Cuirassier in the area.

 

[Duckweed]

Switch the build in Adulis to a settler(for another island site) and time the WB when the border in Fish&ship pops.

You still have not traded Dye for 1gpt from KK.

 

[pomthom]

Ok with everything except the culture in Yeha: what forest are you talking about?

 

[Doshin]

You could also cancel the Wine/Silk deal now, and sell the Silk to Kublai for 1GPT.

 

[Duckweed]

Ok with everything except the culture in Yeha: what forest are you talking about?

1N of Yeha.
