Turn 127 - 30 BC

[Cheetah]

We have the save, but since we currently are within our green hours I will wait with playing it until the clock gets close to 12:00 GMT.

If anyone else want to play it, go ahead. If not, I'll play it at the end of our green hours.

Todo: F3 screen, checking mil advisor

 

[Cheetah]

Turn done...

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Any reports? Screenies?

 

[Cheetah]

Apolyton gave us 56 gold for the investigation of Algalord last turn, one gold more than what we used.

From the Military Advisor: Compared to these guys (GCA), we have a STRONG military!

Now, our exact unit count:
2 Workers, 1 Archer, 1 Spearman, 1 Swordsman, 1 Horseman, 13 Pikemen, 1 Catapult, 4 Medieval Infantries

Also, our military is weak against both Apolyton and the German Webring. :-/

Micromanged Shen Ling to get the Med. Inf in 2 instead of 3 turns, though the food storage will be empty at that time.

Microed Zhi Gang to get the Med. Inf in 5 instead of 6 turns.

GCA-Fanatikou Border
GCA forces outside Sodapopolis:
1 Vet Horseman, 1 Vet Swordsman, 2 Vet Horsemen

Our forces on or around two tiles west of Sodapopolis:
4 Med Inf, 3 Pike 1 Horse

ETA for reinforcements to this army:
Med Inf from Shen Ling: 5 turns
Med Inf from Kuangbiao Haian: 5 turns
Med Inf from Zhi Gang: 7 turns
Med Inf from Cha Ching: 7 turns

We could take one Pike from Zhi Gang and use it in our attack force or to guard Kuangbiao Haian.

Screenshots:
I've taken a lot of screenshots, but instead of uploading all of them just request some and I'll upload them then.

Info-screenshots:
All advisors, power histograph and demographics.
Map-screenshots:
Apolytonia, Fanatikou, GCA-border, GCA, Islands of Fanatikou, Netatolians, Northern Fanatikou and Webring Mainlands.

Oh, and one more thing. I could not move out our forces from GCA territory because the units had already moved. If GCA contacts anyone about it I guess we'll tell them that they will be moved next turn...

Fanatikou 30 BC:

 

[Cheetah]

Now, I suggest an invasion of GCA in 7 turns!

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Wow. GCA has really been ripped. Their entire army must have been in that city. A map of GCA, please.

 

[Cheetah]

GCA Mainlands. Got one of their/our lands west of BoP too if you want that:

 

[FortyJ]

Why the clipping on the screenshot?

What happened to the walls around Algalord?

 

[Cheetah]

Don't ask me about the walls, didn't investigate Algalord as Octavian cancelled the order.

The clipping is to get the screenshot attached through that very tiny limit of 102400 bytes. Got a full 1024x768 screenshot on my computer. I can upload the entire, but in a much worse quality, I you want it.

 

[FortyJ]

Try resizing the image instead of cutting out parts. For the website, I always shrunk the images down to 800x600. That should help keep it under the size limit too.

 

[Cheetah]

Ok.

So what do you think of an invasion of GCA in 7 turns?
By then we will have 8 Med Infs, 3 Pikes and 1 Horse two tiles away from Sodapopolis!

 

[Zarn]

Fine by me. I don't want Poly grabbing all the glory, because we and CDG got beaten hard by them. We are at least entitled to some of the land.

Declare war as you enter the buffer zone (one tile from their territory), to void the treaty we have with them. Once we get our troops to their border, they will know that we are going to war anyway. So, we might as well stick in their face that we obeyed the treaty.

 

[Ankka]

Nice playing.

Why didn't GBM play it? He said so in the other thread... No offence, anyway.

7 turns...Good enough. Let's just hope Poly hasn't got all of GCA crushed by then and we've been left empty- handed...

 

[Cheetah]

Oops!

I forgot to move our offensive units away from the GCA border

 

[Zarn]

Now, I'm going to hear it from Lucky...

It was pretty hard to shut him up.

Anyway, it was an honest mistake. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Well then I hope you and Apolyton worked about a land sharing agreement...

 

[Octavian X]

Thank you, Cheetah, for playing the save, and doing a good job with it. If we do have the turn and no one's around the chat room, go ahead and play it.

Troop info has been relayed to Apolyton. We await a response.

And I seriously hope that they'll give us everything west of BoP and Equilibrium (or wathever they called the norther land bridge. I think that they don't realy have much interest in taking the land north of us on this side of the gulf, as the cities there will be quite corrupted. However, we could use our Forbidden Pallace to properly exploit this land. On their side, Apolyton would have the very fertile GCA land to get their FP.

 

[Cheetah]

Lucky has posted in the UN that they will be holding the save for some time.

Could this be because of our (my) neglection of withdrawing our forces from their borders?
If so have someone or shouldn't someone talk to them?
