[LowtherCastle]

Note that to blockade all of Cahokia’s FC water tiles the trireme has to be snug up against Cahokia.

 

[LowtherCastle]

I’m a green light whatever you folks decide. Off the grid for some hours...

 

[WastinTime]

Or at least revolting him to nationalism.

We are doing that this turn.

 

[WastinTime]

SB: how about just machinery 1st. Then I suppose Music is next.
I was thinking compass, but we gave that already.

If no galley can get past it,
Trireme, 146, inches to Cahokia-2W and blockades again.
The goal is to always be in a position to get back to defend at Cahokia-4W2N before a galley can get there (if one makes a run for it)
If the galley goes south, we can inch over to Cahokia-1W and blockade (like LC said)...still able to be 1st back to Cahokia-4W2N.
I don't want to have to attack a galley, just defend that spot.

 

[WastinTime]

T146 - After DOW, sail to 1W of Poverty Point, drop off 2 Muskets 1S of Poverty Point, then sail to 2S2E of Canal City

You don't agree with the suggestion to blockade PP? are you setting up another pickup? or chain or something?

 

[WastinTime]

T145 - Picks up Great Scientist, drops him in Canal City, then sails to 1S1E of Canal City

I'm ok with this, but what about the suggestion to go wb hunting? I don't think wb will be a problem, but not sure.

 

[WastinTime]

You decide on the above. Green Light!

 

[Kaitzilla]

You don't agree with the suggestion to blockade PP? are you setting up another pickup? or chain or something?

Oh, T146 I see.

Ok, I will blockade Poverty Point T146 with our Galley.

I'm ok with this, but what about the suggestion to go wb hunting? I don't think wb will be a problem, but not sure.

I would rather guarantee our Galleys survive a suicide attack and maybe lose a Clam for 1 turn.

Ill take another look, but I want to draw a SB galley up towards our borders and kill it.
SB has 2 Galleys around his capital, and if both attack the Trireme gets sunk.
So I don't want to completely choke Cahokia by creeping east.

 

[Kaitzilla]

I remember why I didn't want to blockade Poverty Point originally.

Sitting Bull can't tech Feudalism complete T146 and have Longbows upgraded T147, so I thought it didn't matter. Hmm

Better safe than sorry

 

[LowtherCastle]

We are doing that this turn.

Okay, so next turn the first thing to do is check how long SB has to complete Feudalism. Then keep checking after each step (DOW, blockade 1,...) Not sure if blockading shows up instantly on the Feud (1).

 

[Mitchum]

What is your plan to play, Kait?

 

[Kaitzilla]

What is your plan to play, Kait?

I'll try to play my 2 turns in 4 hours.
See how far I get.

 

[Mitchum]

Awesome! I hope WT can be live since he's the most up-to-speed with things. I'll try to monitor things as best I can but I'm fine if you guys play forward after reaching a consensus on any decision points.

Good luck!

 

[LowtherCastle]

Kait, this is the most important turnset of the entire game!

 

[Mitchum]

Kait, this is the most important turnset of the entire game!

I thought the next one was...

I thought the next one was...

Not to worry, it will be.

[WastinTime]

306 to finish Engineering?

yes, i think so

 

[WastinTime]

Is the "extra gold to trade during Anarchy" idea a bust?

No, I think it's just that he has no gold. We keep taking it
Our blockades might be able to get him below 59 Maybe buy another turn on lbs whatever that's worth.
longbow upgrades should be slow coming.
