Why not let the barb warrior fog bust and move warrior down towards mountain? Worst case scenario he follows your warrior. Hmmm.

He will hopefully attack the other warrior when he moves towards deer?

 

[yyeah]

Should I switch him,what do you think ? 1,4 ;/

Edit
I didnt have move.

Spoiler :

 

[Gumbolt]

If he meets another barb he is dead. Does switching him harm our plans? WM2 would be nice. Moving him to mountain could be safe. This would fog bust more tiles. Hopefully there will not be 2 barbs so close together. I would also think the barb warrior should of fog bust that mountain area anyway.

What turn do we plan to settle stone???

 

[yyeah]

I think i will take another 1 becosue i took guy witch i can promote to c1 it wil be better on this non forested hills, if this wounded warrir meet another something hes dead. And this c1 guy can win fight.

Edit
No it technically doesnt harm our plans we will be later on fogbusting stone but only this.

 

[elitetroops]

I think he should continue towards stone. Otherwise we can't know how safe it is before warriors must head back towards rome. It's possible there are no more barbs down there.

 

[yyeah]

Allright green from me for continue towards stone with this guy.

 

[yyeah]

Safe so far Judaism has been faund.

Spoiler :

And i find Zaras scout , he was allso befor here ?

 

[Gumbolt]

Yep looks good to continue with warrior. Be unlucky to meet a barb archer now.

Barbs should spawn less when Ai have all got 3 cities.

Eating dinner so was a bit slow to reply.

 

[elitetroops]

Next turn, move warrior W of gems to gems with settler. That way we can still have double escort if for some reason needed.

 

[yyeah]

Another 1
Saladin founds Judaism.

Spoiler :

We got 50-50 here, all units have move.

 

[Gumbolt]

50/50 odds are not great. Trouble is it could force our unit to move all the way back. Chance of WM2. Hmmm. Still wouldn't be worth losing it.

All good plans are laid to rest.

 

[yyeah]

We can try to fight this warrior with this fresh warrior on deer promoted to c1.
wounded guy back on dear if our c1 guy win all units will be back in time, but another thing we dont know is there 3th barb warrior ...

 

[elitetroops]

Tough call... Optimistic move is to fortify warrior and hope he wins defending. If he's 1.4 strength, then I'm guessing something like 30-40% chance to win battle.

Otherwise I don't see any other option than to start thinking off how to build one more warrior. We need a warrior on forest hill 1E of stone by the time settler reaches deer, to know if we can send other warriors back or not.

 

[elitetroops]

If we fight him with fresh C1 warrior, then I think we need 2 warriors for escort to stone. Dragging that barb east towards deer gives more room for barbs to spawn close to stone.

 

[yyeah]

So i dont know should i upload save ? and we think about it ?

 

[Gumbolt]

We get no hidden bonus against barb warriors. We got a hidden 20% against barb animals. So what you see is what you get. 5% fortify bonus? Hmmmm Looks like we need to move other warrior down on c1?

If the barb wins that combat it might get c1 too.

Don't forget worse case scenario the workboat can fog bust.

Will the barb definately head our way??

 

[yyeah]

I think that best move is to move this deer guy he will be on forested hill E from stone when settler can move from deer so we will see is there any anotehr barb, dont forget taht we have 1 additional turn befor we can settle...
We wont win this fight lets be realistic thsi is civ 4

 

[Gumbolt]

Save the exp4 warrior. Bring up another warrior. He could escort C1 warrior. If c1 dies we have WM2 warrior if he kills wounded barb.

 

[yyeah]

Ok go ?
But then we need to bulid 1 more warrior.

 

[elitetroops]

When you move him from deer now and retreat with wounded warrior, barb will follow to tile where wounded warrior is now. Then fresh warrior cannot move, he has to wait one turn for barb to attack. Then settler is already moving to deer, so our warrior will still be 2 turns away from forest hill when our dudes should be sent towards home.

Maybe best is still to retreat and move fresh warrior together with wounded warrior on hill. Let barb suicide (hope he does) and then escort settler with 2 warriors. We can build another warrior. Settling is delayed by one turn, but this is no big deal. Only problem is that cap is growing into unhappiness too early. We should maybe stop here and test how to deal with this.
