SGOTM 23 - Turbo Ants

[LowtherCastle]

I don't think Turfan or Ning-hsia have setter builds right now. KK would have to have already biult the settler. Keep an eye out.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Another GG? Next turn? Fast boats?

Good idea if you need a couple. Or a super strong defender galley.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Or how about a Drill IV defender galley. 4-7 first strikes.

I'd probably do that just because it fits the theme. Another promotion I've never used

I ho[pe you've got a plan for COventry and Nottingham, because they look treacherous.

CHeck it:

That's some wild warring for PR. I don't think they're done yet. That uptick in power must be upgrades, right? What else would do that without rolling the turn?

 

[WastinTime]

Got It!

 

[LowtherCastle]

Good luck! I'll read all about it in the morning.

 

[WastinTime]

hmm. one thing we maybe didn't coordinate. Probably ok
We need to attack mehmed soon. Maybe next turn.
He has a Chariot that should be near Xian next turn.

First glance, it might teleport into the Himalayas . Otherwise, we need may need to move workers. Anyway, we'll see.

Can you tell if Canterbury will build a defender soon?

ok, I'll just play a little bit. Notthing that would need a discussion.

 

[WastinTime]

OK LC, I'm confused. I was worried last turn that you were trying to road too many hills at the last second. Now you're starting more? Are you sure you can finish the RR in 2t? For example: You just put a worker on the hill at Thebes? No way he can finish that and still RR T125.
What am I missing? edit: I get it. You won't finish those roads unless there is coal there.

We will have an extra 10 workers probably, but those 10 will be out of range. 2-3 in England, 2 at Sal, several KK, etc. So you've got the bare minimum to work with.
(and you left 1 worker without orders. I suppose you thought I might need it at Basra?)

 

[WastinTime]

Is it all nailed down? or do you need me to build a worker? Not sure I can.

 

[WastinTime]

I'm gonna stop for the day. I wanna talk about the RR. I could easily make workers if it needs help They might only arrive in time to do 1 turn on 126. There are other ways to get more recent captured into position too. But if you have your 37 all perfectly laid out...

If I roll this turn, it's too late for that.

T123

If anything, I'm (still) most concerned about :
Sal :
Shouldn't be a problem, but,
Baghdad has 6 defenders in 1 city probably 7 next turn.
Therefore, I first test that I can get some success there:
90+% win
If not, I would have moved more in instead of going for..
Damascus.
Then... 96% loss at Damascus
Ouch. I have to finish the city or it will whip too. And why leave that injured unit. So...
96%
100% wins

Mao: Chendu
I lose 88% on Spear
3 cleanup battles.

KK: Turfan is down to 3 archers
no losses.
199 wow.

New Sarai (KK, far north city we've never seen)
Has 2 archer, chariot.

Outside the city is Sword, HA, Chariot, Sword, chariot !!

Spoiler :

Notice I wrote HA, not Keshik.
Stalin should take New Sarai next turn (or the turn after)

York
71% spear
65% sword
87% archer
and then...our C1shock chariot takes the city! 91% Axe
kills 2 galleys, 1 Trireme, worker, settler
and...makes a GG.

We didn't use our 2 amphibs yet , so they board the nakedGalley whilst 2 others TBD will board the c1Galley(possible defender of the other galley)

 

[WastinTime]

analyzing Sal (see report).... Next turn I can hit Baghdad with 6 knights (some injured). against 5, probably 6 defenders (but two are chariot and warrior)
Should be OK, but 6 on 6 is never OK. cleanup on 125 should be fine, but I don't want to gamble way down south. I may want a road...I think there is a useless worker (for the RR) way down by Baghdad. I may need to use the on by Medina too.

 

[WastinTime]

I think it's time to DoW Mehmed. Need to figure out teleport, etc. Any reason to wait? Canterbury's borders are collapsed. We can't kill him off until next turn tho So that's more War anger...which is showing up on our citizens now.

Seems like we want to move the worker first. Galley teleports. (edit: bad, it teleports to Istanbul, so move it before DoW)
Must move Canter galleys first.

No, it's probably best to DoW him next turn.
1) no added anger
2) bad chariot teleport
3) We can probably finish Memed next turn too

I'll send some South China knights for that chariot nuisance.

 

[WastinTime]

Silks online next turn.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Sorry to hold you up, WT. What do you want me to do, if anything, right now?

 

[LowtherCastle]

Based on teh T122 save, I count 38 workers that I am counting on (at the least). The only two I'm not necessarily counting on are the two southern Sal workers, although I was planning on trying to pull them up too, but if you need them, okay.

 

[LowtherCastle]

The one I overlooked (wkr13) should have gone toward Munich.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Where's the GG? Will you use it to make 2@ 4-mvmt galleys?
