In the end, this might turn out to be an advantage for us, that he declared now. Frigates can start bombarding immediately and he will send extra units from Yue-Chi and Yeha towards Pasa. They should have lighter defenses.

save uploaded.
I throw on him 7 Cannons and still our cuirs have bad odds ~50% and i thinking should i wait 1 turn to get coupleof Grens from Persopolis... Or should i attack.
I dont know where he moves.but even then we should have better odds unless he heal this turn via promo .

Ive made mistake with 1 Cannon and didnt move it to Hippo we will ahve only 3 in our naval invasion for 4 Rifles should enough unless he will flank us.

Overall we had bad rolls this turn allso lost a bit too many burning 1 of Brennus cities.

Can some 1 look at save ill be back in 10 min and continiue i would be glad to hear some comments.

 

[elitetroops]

Save not paused!

 

[elitetroops]

Only one in 7 cannons survived... Big difference between attacking city and attacking out in the open...

What do you think he would do if we don't attack? If he moves, we can attack stack next turn. If he decides to fortify and heal we should attack now. Hard to tell. Next turn there would be some airship support as well.

 

[yyeah]

Maybe i forgot.
DL pause and upload again ?

 

[yyeah]

Even if he fortify and heal i thinkw e will have better odds attacking next turn.
Unless he moves on hill that would be bad.
But yea we haev 4 Airships next turn to attack him as well i canleave this 1 more Cannon in Pasa too.

Edit.
He got 7 +10 str Rifles there we can loose 7 Cuirs ... attacking this its not worth i think.

 

[elitetroops]

Eh... Logs say you attacked across river with last 6 cannons... Why on earth would you do that?

 

[yyeah]

o fck i didnt look at odds and though this river is shorter 1 tile

I dont have in odds that iam crossing river but indeed iam crossing it. This river is 1 tile longer.

Edit.
iam palying on will wait this 1 turn.
If you say so i switch for bulding troops.

 

[elitetroops]

ALWAYS look at odds before attacking. First cannon had 30% odds, the next few 7%. And don't use stack attack, go one unit at at time.

You have one cannon in Pasa still to attack with. If he wounds that top defender, we should see better odds with cuirs. Most of his strongest C2 rifles are already wounded. Best take out as much as possible before they get more promotions and free healing.

With pinch promotions we get quite decent odds.

On screen i had same odds everywhere and iam attacking with 1 unit.

Edit
I dont know why game showing this, and counting diferent.

Spoiler :

 

[elitetroops]

That's odd. Did you attack from same tile where cuirs are now maybe? I don't know mechanics, but I always move manually across river before attacking I don't think civ does that automatically if it takes extra move.

Using goto with cuir and hover over stack doesn't add river penalty to odds, but shows the cuir wouldn't cross the river before attacking.

But oh well, mistakes happen. I've done my fair share in this game as well... Let's now focus on killing him.

Edit: yes, I think that's the problem. If you attack from far away, it doesn't add river penalty. Move cannon 2SE, then attack at those odds.

 

[elitetroops]

I would rather build units and run higher culture slider now than build colosseums. And since we will be running culture slider anyway, theatres come before colosseums if a city doesn't have one (Fish, Carthage).

 

[yyeah]

Trasus gone, stack gone no more looses.
Sumerians have decend size stack ;/
But i think if we gather up all our units from East we should handle him atm.
We'll c needs to burn this Brennus down asap.

Edit.
forgot, lost 1 Frigate.
And we have GG MA in Leptis ? we could 1 turn Cannons there i think.

 

[Gumbolt]

Coastal for ma.

 

[elitetroops]

Leptis was one turning cannons already while being more happy, I think. Maybe a waste to use GG there if we get more productive workers after finishing Brennus soon. SoZ should be gone also now.

 

[yyeah]

Yea i was thinking about it a bit more and used GG in Hippo.
We have problem with Brennus city Tolosa he has 7 defenders there, and we have 5 Cannons with 1% odds, i can try take it this turn def is down but i dontknow is it possible, we have idk 11 Cuirs tehre and 1 Gren.

 

[elitetroops]

Is the latest save uploaded?

Should we spend 275 gold to upgrade warrior in Hippo to Gren? Could use some more units to take out Yue. But 275 is a lot...

 

[yyeah]

No iam in next turn 266, last move iamconsidering attack Tolosa we haev 13 Cuirs there.
I dont know i think we have to do this or we never kill this Brennus.

 

[elitetroops]

With Zara our priority no1 is to slow him down. I think this is easiest done by taking the easy targets - non-hill cities first. Ecbatana, Yeha, Addis Abeba, Yue Chi. Once those are down, we can even cut off that eastern hill city from the rest of his empire by pillaging 3 roads, if we want to head towards his capital before taking that one out.

I think you can attack Tolosa. The CG3 rifle is worst. Wound him a bit, then it gets better. But I hope you've moved those 4 cuirs since last upload so that they don't have to attack across river.

 

[yyeah]

Allright palying on.
