CIII defeated LB with 89% (5.9/12)
CII defeated LB with 94% (12/12)
CII/Shock defeated Spear with 97% (6.6/12)
CGIII Axe defeated Archer with 95% (3.5/5), capturing Yeha.
This has not really gone in the same direction...
No building saved in Yeha.

That's the normal odd I have expected.
This was very rare. You probably got hit by more than 15 times continuously, the odd is about 1/2^15Send in all the axes with best odd 1st. You battle luck this time was below normal. 1 cat + 3 HAs + 1 CIII Cui lost to a single CGIII LB without a scratch.

What for?Good work. I hope you are saving.
-----------------
I moved the Woody II Axe 1SW to threaten Toku city, let's hope he wants to talk next turn.

A GG was born in Rice Pudding, he was sent in direction of the front. Who will be our medic?
Apart from the WIII, I was thinking leaving the Axes in the South. I don't really see what use they would have in KK's war (city garrison in captured cities maybe?). What do you think?

Even for Aggressive AI? It is a used exploit in HoF games for Worker stealing. Doshin mentioned it once or twice I think... (I may be mixing things up)
I don't know where Doshin has gotten this information, maybe it's something that I don't know. I only know that threatening AI's cities amplifies what we can get from peace treaty.

OK no diplo opportunities. Pressing end turn and will upload.
I can't plan/play tomorrow, sorry for the delay caused by the crash, we might have gone through another turn... anyway, can't say we didn't get some luck out of it!

Yes it's a behaviour that comes from the Aggressive AI option (and why it's used in HoF because AIs will CF much more easily)
I think it only increases the AI's generosity in making peace, not their willingness to talk:
There is a trick to it ya.
You need to have your warrior be within 2 tiles of the AI's city threatening it.
With aggressive AI turned on, this acts like a few war success worth of kills making for rapid cease fires.
It also works in reverse. If the AI has an archer threatening your city, it will cancel out what your warrior is doing preventing a cease fire unless you threaten 2 of his cities at the same time.
De Gaulle is willing to talk peace after like 1 turn
The best is when he has 2 wet corns and one of them is on the edge of his borders.
Steal worker cease fire, wait a few turns, steal a worker cease fire, wait a few turns, steal a worker cease fire.
Only warmonger AI will give you -1's I think for attacking their buddy.
Rarely, a deity AI will refuse to talk peace after a worker steal and you threaten one of their cities. Not sure why.
The Worker/ceasefire thing works in the early game because usually (on Deity esp.) the AI is all like "woahhhhh. I have 20 Archers and two cities! I will crush this one city, one Warrior fool!!111" But Aggressive AI makes them panic when faced with a single Warrior.
This was why Asoka was unwilling to give us any techs for peace, btw. Not that we needed him to give us any, but just one Archer threatening Constantinople was enough.

Since our war success was pretty good, and our power is so high, we can move troops northwards.

OMG it crashed again!
Thankfully this time I had only performed a whip and a chop
(will PM again to be safe)
------------------------
Toku captured the Barb city to his West!?! Still not willing to talk.
I made a few moves and whips already. Save is uploaded. We have a cute little power spike...

Seeing the whole map is pretty good news: the number of seafood is quite low so that is unlikely to slow us down.
Domination/research will be more problematic. We can spam some ice ball cities to grab land at the last minute but that's a hefty investment. Land grab should be last so that our tech pace isn't hindered too much.
At this point, I have difficulty accepting cottages over farms I would seriously consider bulldozing some of the smaller ones in favour of growth capacity for army production - once chops are done of course.

I'm unavailable to play at all for roughly 2 weeks. Working on a big submission which would be really good at work.
After that, I should be more around.

Still addict to Farm.
If you take a look at the happiness in our cities, you will see that 1 or two more farms over cottages in our own cities are not helpful.OTOH, except in Aksum, I agree with farms in other cities from now on. It's almost T130 and other Toku's cities does not have high food plus. Many KK's cities can work on water tiles.
Does anyone know if the Ice/Coast cities receive 4 trade routes from the GLH on Lakes maps?
The save seems good to me. Dye Hard shouldn't work its namesake tile (Dye ---> Coast). Adulis should work the Horse, although perhaps you just whipped Aksum?
I don't think pomthom has built any Farms or Cottages. Ok, maybe one or two Cottages. Most of the Worker micro seems to be "chop/chop/chop," while we are in Police State.
