Mirrorguard and WastinTime have flipped the table. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Science City will switch to 14 merchants and build bank in 6 turns.

Canal will work Merchants since we must survive the next 17 turns before payday happens.
No Wealth in capital will feel like -200 :gold:

as we build the bank.

UN in 14 turns thanks to Warrior -> 37 :hammers:

overflow means we don't have to blaze to Mass Media.

Resuming play...

WastinTime · Aug 31, 2020

ok, Clams 14. green light when you're ready.

Kaitzilla · Aug 31, 2020

..........
Team has decided to change direction!

Science City is working 14 merchants to try and get 80% Great Merchant on T202

T187 - Bismarck completes Notre Dame, the wonder we put nothing in! :mad:

Paris has 371 :hammers:

in Hagia/Sistene/Taj

Ceasing all efforts to put hammers into wonders since the odds are now against us.
Gold past T202 isn't as helpful as gold now.
Hopefully France is not doing Taj...

Germany has 50 :gold:

Island City Nuremburg has 3 Longbows and 1 Spear now
Will attack next turn hopefully

Mine and cottage pillaged for 7 :gold:

Canal City will work merchants since it is a tiny bit better than lowering slider due to rounding.

oh, no, I didn't want this on top of the loss in Science.
We have to burn up all our money in 20turns now.

We can work scientists in Canal, but we will lose -160 :gold:

per turn until that Bank gets built

yeah, just try to keep afloat with conquer, pillage and tech trade.

Gnn, alright, scientists in Canal and -160 :gold:

per turn it is!

Wall Street is at 131/600 :hammers:

currently.
Technically it only needs to make it to 201/600 :hammers:

before Clam City can switch to Merchants and build Wealth before Warrior + UN

I'm using the Clam City slack to build wonders right now, for 1 turn anyway.
Will see next turn.

WastinTime · Aug 31, 2020

yep and then all the aqueducts are done too, so our expenses get pretty low. Burn up -160 for now. When can you raze the HRE island?

Kaitzilla · Aug 31, 2020

Er, with 14 merchants it won't be -160 :gold:

at all

It will be -108 :gold:

per turn, my mistake.

I might go for it next turn with one City Raider 3 Catapult and 0% city defenses if it stays 2LB + Spear
Don't want to see another Longbow.

50 is nice. Watch for any other NotreD failgold.

Kaitzilla · Aug 31, 2020

Hmm, Germany has 50 :gold:

again and Rep. Parts

Shall we do the Cease fire + Bureau switch + Rep. Parts deal now for Astro+Education?

We will be pleased with him for only 2 turns, and HRE is a land target.

We can get the cash and the risk he plots against us is very low for those 2 turns

We can bribe him Free Market on T197 and Free Religion T207.

We won't care what he picks T217 as a civic

Louis has 70 :gold:

if we care to trade him military Tradition or education

Kaitzilla · Aug 31, 2020

I will do both deals soon then.

Education to Louis for 70 :gold:

and map

Then the mega deal with Bismarck

**Edit**
Both deals complete!
Bismarck Cease Fired with Charlemagne

WastinTime · Aug 31, 2020

see, our bank account increased. Keep it up.

Kaitzilla · Aug 31, 2020

The island city is producing Longbows every turn, but now it is at 1% defenses finally.

We have 5 Muskets, 3 Catapults of which 2 are CR3, a medic chariot, and an amphibious chariot
Charlie has 4 Longbows (CG3 has no fortify yet, so about 12 :strength:

) and 1 Spear

Spoiler :

Now that is has whipped down to Size 4 and reinforced, I'm not sure if it is still worth storming.

If we wait 1 more turn, the Galleon can have 3 more muskets ready to amphibiously attack, of which 1 is about half health
Our chariot on the galley can also get onto land

But Charlie might make 1 more longbow and promote another to CG3.

Hmmmmm

Spoiler :

Collateral damage table indicates that sending all 3 Catapults to die with 5 :strength:

vs. 7.5

, 5

vs. 6.87

and 4.9

vs. 7.5

again will yield 4.4/6hp Longbows.
Perhaps 4.1/6hp longbows if the 2nd attacker does Collateral Damage 2 instead of City Raider 3

12, 12, 10.5, and 9 :strength:

Longbows with no catapults

Tldr; All 3 Catapults will die, and we will probably take the city, but we might not.

The Spear is a hard counter to our Chariots, so we need all 5 Muskets to win to take the city. :sad:

I think we should pillage 2S of the City with Chariot, try to draw out the Spear.
Get 3 more muskets

If the city gets another Longbow next turn, forget about attacking the city and just focus on pillaging.
Sail the army for the western city.

if we throw all the cats at it and then all the muskets, we get it for sure, right? we don't need an army after that.

We might need to do some luring. I think some longbows will come for a chariot in the area even if they can't reach it. Ideally the longbows move 2 tiles and then we can unload units to block their return to the city. Let me look closer at the map.

No, 1 musket failure and Charlie keeps the city most likely.
We need the 4th Catapult to guarantee success.

Ok, let me upload.

We are hurt by only 1Galleon and no airship.
We are slow with war.
