an choice

In case you're wondering how to pronounce that, Mitchum, it's, "an oice."

 

[LowtherCastle]

for the record, it does lower WW.

Cooella de Ville.

Marchers are fun. Great promotion and pretty cheap, as long as you've got overwhelming odds otherwise.

 

[LowtherCastle]

If we DoW 124 he talks 125 or 126? And re you sure? test game, pls.

I agree with those 5 cities. Maybe even New Sarai. Or maybe that will be where we can kill some injured units.

If you want me to test this you're going to have to cough up the truth. When is Sstalin willing to discuss trading stuff?Never mind. Writing.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Tested. It works. Gift/dow/capture this turn. Hit <enter> stalin talks.

T124

Drum roll...

Liberalism
Steam Power
Research set to Railroad(3) (for readers not following closely, we have 3 GM bulbs)

Churchill changes religion. No whipping for you

GM born

gotta go get ready for the dinner party... j/k. hold on...

Coal
There's no coal on the tiles we can see. Onward to Oil...Mitchum, you're up!

Naturally, You guys didn't fall for that. I took it too far with the Mitchum thing, right?
Who'd believe that?

Oh, and the no-coal thing was a pretty obvious lie.

Most coal is on grassland! doh! Not normally possible, right?
Here's a truthful statement tho: "Our workers cannot reach our coal and mine it!"
Here's why:

Spoiler :

Can't mine coal on a city tile!

Here's the whole map...

Spoiler :

Whew! I'm exhausted. That's a lot of screenshots for me. I'm going to do very little to the save and upload, but not giving it up. Don't move workers until I do my thang. In case of emergencies.

Paused save uploaded.

I was wondering about that.

Where's the coal?

 

[WastinTime]

Coal report is up ^^

 

[WastinTime]

worker unloaded at CEB. 2 more will be dropped in CEB. ready to RR on T125. Shift east!

fyi, these 2 workers lost their ride they originally had scheduled, so you won't have them to RR.

Crap. T138 finish it is, then.

 

[LowtherCastle]

So BSP made sure everyone got coal. Probably every test he ran, Fred settled Munich there.

If we're going to DOW Stalin on T124, then his units at New Sarai-sw are blocking our knight's approach. That complicates capturing New Sarai on T125, unless Stalin manages to kill on of the archers (after we kill the chariot this turn).

Or.......we bribe Stalin to DoP KK. Nice opportunity to grab his 90g too.

Edit: Also would give us another city to gift to Stalin.

No probs. I've got 39 right now, outside them. 40 with the KK worker with your note above him. +1 more tile on T126 from 2 wkrs at Sal. And so on...

 

[LowtherCastle]

So, wrapping this up tomorrow at our leisure?

Or should we dump it on Mitchum, see how badly he can mess it up? Chess puzzle. Napolean to win in 2 turns.

 

[LowtherCastle]

XTeam is also past our finish date now. They're going to have to pull some all-nighters, I think.

So they decided where to settle already?

No decision, but The Man had to work one day, so they grabbed their opportunity.

 

[WastinTime]

if I didn't make it clear, I'm done for the day. Depending on when and where I wake up I'll be back at it tomorrow...sometime. Seems like we will finish Sunday.

Double checking... we're allowed to kill everyone next turn, win the game first (announced on T126), then complete the RR T126.

I did my best to get units in place to get to Mao's last city, but there are forests making it very hard. Hopefully it's under-defended and we don't lose a 90% battle.
At least we should have backup for T126

 

[WastinTime]

Oooo.. Maybe I need some workers at Mao to fix that problem?

 

[WastinTime]

Does Stalin have a galley near Hamburg that messes with our 4-mvmt galley plan? work out solution to that. We can't afford to get attacked 125 when trying to reload

nevermind. We can hide inside Hamburg to reload.
