Turn 168

[fe3333au]

Watchout for the Galleys ... they may have planned a counter attack from the sea !!!

But I'm sure that Dags made a reference about being rail roaded ... what are they doing ???

 

[Chamnix]

Railroad 2 more tiles east of SKWTD so we can reach Polecat. CV Ocyrhoes uses his last movement point to capture the cannon next to Polecat and fires it at the pikeman – misses.

3/4 cavalry (after cannon hits) vs. 4/4 pikeman -> 2/4 cav, pikeman dead.
¾ cavalry (after cannon hits) vs. 4/4 longbow -> ¾ cav, longbow dead.
4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 longbow -> 4/4 cav, longbow dead.

We capture Polecat and liberate 19 gold and 2 cannons.

 

[Chamnix]

2/4 cavalry walks up to Ignoramus, but it is defended by a 4/4 musket, so he doesn’t attack. Instead find healthy units.

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 musket -> 4/4 musket, ¼ cavalry.
4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 musket -> 3/5 cavalry, musket dead.

We capture Ignoramus and liberate 20 gold.

 

[Chamnix]

I don’t see any more 2/4 cavalry, so I go to ¾ - a ¾ cavalry walks into the undefended town of Crackhead and liberates 20 gold.

 

[General_W]

Someone Pinch me!!

Is it just me? Or did we just essentially wipe the mighty KISS empire totally off our continent in 2 turns?

I guess we can switch a LOT more of those cavalry builds to settlers, and turn most of those cannon builds into workers or settlers for filling up all our wide open new land!

 

[Chamnix]

Go to the previous railroad end point and extend another tile north. A ¾ cavalry walks into Notthefullshilling and liberates 20 gold.

 

[fe3333au]

This is unbelievable ... I noticed a galley outside of Simpleton ... can we defend the city?

 

[Chamnix]

Go back to the end point before the last northern extension and extend SE. ¾ cavalry walks into Idiote and liberates 21 gold.

 

[Chamnix]

They can't attack from a galley - all they can do is land troops for us to slaughter our next turn. Our cities are safe from ships until marines.

 

[Chamnix]

That’s all for the easy towns – 3 towns to go, and they are all defended. CV Persephone is not on the rail network, but he can reach Nincompoopicity.

Battle of Nincompoopicity

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 pikeman -> 4/4 pikeman, ¼ cavalry

He was the only healthy cav who could reach without a railroad, so I railroad E-N of Swampland.

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 pikeman ->1/4 cavalry, pikeman dead.

We capture Nincompoopicity and 14 gold.

 

[General_W]

I still can't believe we got Leos....
(I won't be able to process our amazing victories elsewhere until I get past this point...)

This opens up such amazing possibilities for us... thousands and thousands of gold saved in upgrading all our Hoplites to Rifles... and our Cannons to Artillery (someday) and.... oh.....

 

[Chamnix]

Road the tile S of Wilde Side to attack Apefish.

4/4 cav vs. 4/4 cav -> MIA cav 2/4, KISS cav dead.

We capture Apefish and 14 gold.

 

[lost_civantares]

Wow, that's just insane.

See, all you needed was TNT's help, and all goes well!

But really your incredible amount of planning shows that it really does pay off in the end, MMing really does make real results!

 

[Chamnix]

Sorry for the break – my sick girlfriend just got out of bed and wanted soup.

Remaining on our rail network:

8 4/4 cavalry
1 ¾ cavalry
2 3/5 cavalry
1 5/5 knight
14 hoplites
3 MDI

Effing Whomping Rower is still KISS-owned. There are at least 7 KISS units outside EWR (pikeman on the mountain next to EWR, longbow and musket east and west of EWR, musket N of SKWTD, and 3 MDI in the Polecat area. They also have an awful lot of workers (at least 20) that I would love to enslave before KISS can disband them. We can grab some with hoplites and MDI, but many require cavalry. I guess I’ll go after EWR first, and then grab as many workers as I can, but I really love slaves.

 

[General_W]

hmmm... yeah - slaves are beautiful... but I think we want to complete our total conquest first.
Just for the psychological effect on the Nuts if nothing else!

 

[General_W]

Although – I'd maybe leave the Pike on the Mountain, unless you can redline him with Cannons and have a MDI that you don't need to grab a worker.

 

[peter grimes]

Please summarize: As of right now, how many KISS cities / towns are left on this continent?

EFW and Polecat only?

 

[Chamnix]

On the forest E of Effing Whomping Rower:

Cool cannons bomb longbow – miss, hit, miss, miss.
MIA cannons bomb longbow – hit, hit (much higher quality cannons).
4/5 knight (after cannon hits) vs. ¼ longbow -> 4/5 knight, longbow dead.

Battle for Effing Whomping Rower.

Cool cannon fires at EWR – destroys walls.
4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 musket -> ¾ musket, ¼ cavalry.
4/4 cavalry vs. ¾ musket -> ¼ cavalry, musket dead.
4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 cavalry -> 2/4 MIA cavalry, KISS cavalry dead.
4/4 cavalry vs. ¾ cavalry ->4/4 MIA cavalry, KISS cavalry dead.

We capture Effing Whomping Rower with 15 gold, and KISS is off our continent!! All KISS towns now belong to MIA.

 

[fe3333au]

Tally so far

Total Cities Taken = 18
Cities requiring seige = 4
Liberated Gold = 301

Cities remaining on OUR land = Effing Whomping Rower

This is totally ... <gulp> sorry cannot find the correct words ....

 

[General_W]

Fe's right... there's just no words....

2 turns!!
