How much culture is there in Ironclad? If we need to spread Sushi to the NE corner, we should build a Fort 3W of the barb city and deposit an Executive there.

Was the HQ built?

It won't come to that. Besides banana sushi is so 2013
 
Yes, Sushi is in Aksum and already spread to AA as per the plan.
Both cities have whipped their Execs on T152 too.

Next turn we'll know for certain if we can raze Alum HQ.
 
Doesn't appear so, it was probably size 1.

Checking...

We ignore Napoleon's stack for now and move east with healthy units to take one city.
Wounded units stay nearby.

Nappy -3 cities :thumbsup:

kossin -5 Cuirassiers :p (out of 8 kills, all at 70%+)

I have to leave in a bit less than 1 hour. I'll await comment on the west... we can also whither down Napoleon's stack a bit, say kill 5~6 units. It's unlikely I'll finish the current turn but I'll upload before leaving.
 
Explore the tiles around go to jail. We might be allowed the raze it.
 
Either way we do not need to send a executive there as it is the headquarter of an other corporation.
 
Unfortunately, it has to be Sushi.

Barb city will be fully scouted next turn and we can decide then to raze. 4 units seems a bit tight but we soundjata could do it.

As I didn't get comments on western units, I am uploading and leaving for some ~5 hours.

Small correction to spread plan: I miscalculated AA and it needs to rush-buy next turn. Gold/turn will go up a bit over the next few turns as some cities resume wealth building.

@Kossin: The plan was to move out of Damascus T151 and then take Kayseri T152. Oh Well :)

Now after giving some thought to the position in the west, the best seems to:
retreat from north Damascus with most units (you could leave the 4 units most western stack where it is or go pillage) and gather as many units as possible 1SW of the Oasis tile = 4N1W of Kayseri.
I can count 16 cuirs able to reach this position T152.

This position is out of reach of Nappy's elephants / catapults and pikes.

Next turn, the 16 cuirs stack is able to:
1. Take Kayseri
2. March towards Konya
3. Deal with Nappy's elephants and pike stray units with a number advantage.

Good news is we took Nappy's iron this turn (no more pikes) and will take his ivory next (no more jumbos) :goodjob:
 
A small comment:

The cuirassier in Sheepish should go fogbusting south in front of the couple of explorers that will follow. Just in case of nasty barb encounter. After this escorting duty, it might be able to see a battle somewhere...
 
Either way we do not need to send a executive there as it is the headquarter of an other corporation.

Alu Co is not a competing Corp to Sushi so we would have to spread it there if we don't raze it
 
@soundjata

You could continue on if you have time. Every turn now takes a long time, so any progress would be nice. Lazy mode ON.:)
 
I have time but I am not confident with the city gift plan.
Do we have any gift scheduled on T152?
