[BTS] SGOTM 26 - Home Slices

[Mitchum]

If we're going to be doing 0% slider, I assume that I fire all of the scientists and work other tiles instead, yes? I'm sure that we can afford to spread Sushi at 0% slider for the first few. But our expenses will go up with each spread so it might get a bit dicey toward the end.

 

[Mitchum]

Continuing turnset report here.

I won't move the worker until I get some feedback on which mine to cover.

 

[Kaitzilla]

How about we block the southern mine this turn and the 1S-mine next turn?

I'd like to take a shot at getting a free city with the further south worker this turn.

 

[Mitchum]

I'm assuming that we want to keep our army moving southwards, right? I'm talking specifically about the Musket and Chariot that I dropped 1S of the wine resource north of Cahokia.

One Chariot will block the northern rice but I'm planning to move the other two units south.

Are we hoping to take Cahokia and/or Mound City once we get our catapults into the action? Or will we likely pillage and leave SB alone while we focus on HRE?

Yep, plus this for sure drops production by 3 this turn.

 

[Mitchum]

BTW, Science will be 3-pop whipping the NP and 2-pop whipping a Sushi executive shortly so it will be a LONG time to get to 16 population there.

We should do the trade mission next turn before we whip the NP.

In general I think we want most forces somewhere between Cahokia and Mound City if the are not choking rice.

Once we have Catapult, I'm not sure which city to target first.

 

[Mitchum]

I'm getting ready to end the turn. I've fired all of the scientists and all cities have gone back to their normal builds (i.e. no Research or Wealth). We had almost 0F so the only beakers we're putting into Steel are the 2 from the temple in Science.

 

[Mitchum]

Once SB's Trireme heads further south, I'll put the blockade back up to see if we can continue to starve his cities.

 

[WastinTime]

so we kill the galley with our caravel and return thru canal.

 

[WastinTime]

Make a note: T165 bribe Bis back into war.
Or do they make cease fires? Can we bribe him back to war now?

 

[Mitchum]

Nope. I had just updated the turnset report a few minutes ago. It was a Peace Treaty.

 

[Mitchum]

While I'm pushing pieces around the board, we need to decide on the trade mission. No harbor so it's still 1300. We are scheduled to whip the NP in Science this turn.

 

[Mitchum]

We also have to agree what to do with the GG.

 

[WastinTime]

Well, if we're going to do 0% anyway, then hold off the the trade mission.

 

[WastinTime]

with last turn at 0% and 70 from Peter, we certainly don't need the trade mission yet.

 

[Kaitzilla]

Wait 1 more turn at 0% to see what Peter will tech.
Bribe him into slavery now I think.

The great general is not urgent.
The Catapult must wait for our Peter galley now to come from the west.

 

[WastinTime]

Maybe the idea to get a free cannon some day from GG-cat is a good idea.
But the cat doesn't need 20xp, so multiple units. Not sure yet.

SB moved a CG+drill2 LB out of Mound City (I assume since I can't see the city). It is at MC-S+SW likely headed toward MV. He must have just built this.

maybe not. He had 3 archery units, so one coulda moved.
He may have another Trireme, so keep that in mind.
We should try to trap that longbow on flat land outside a city.

 

[WastinTime]

The Catapult must wait for our Peter galley now to come from the west.

I thought we were gonna harrass HRE with this boat (galleon)? pillage, etc.
The highest xp cat could just go to 20xp (we have 2 cats, right?)

 

[Mitchum]

We have 1 cat and another that will be born next turn in Clams. It got delayed with the need to eek out Liberalism in 2T.
