Turnplay Log

I can't take it anymore! This is so exciting and scary at the same time. :scared:
 
the save is in our box... do we declare this turn???
 
yep tis the turn of destiny. Do you have a formal war declaration in mind?
 
ummm.. I'll dip my toes in the diplomatic process... how's this

CHAAAARGE!!!!:trouble:
 
yep tis the turn of destiny. Do you have a formal war declaration in mind?
This is my first MTDG, so I'm not sure of the rules of etiquette ....

Are we supposed to make a public declaration of war before we begin hostillities? Or do we play the turn and get the results before we open our mouths? Not sure how it is supposed to be done. It looks like Theoden posted Innovia's declaration after they played the turn.
 
formal declarations are not needed. just a battle log. If we haven't actually fought with them and just declared then no message is needed.

I thought that kickbooti had come up with something ... I'll go look
 
I couldn't find it. :(

if my first proposal isn't acceptable, then how about

Dear Alohans,

Roses are red
Aloha means hi
but unfortunately
it also means bye!!

your new enemies,
Piffle
 
Are we actually crossing borders this turn?

Tubs I like it. It has a certain how should I say...rhyme to it?
 
yeah, if we aren't crossing borders this turn then wait on the declaration ingame as well as out of game.

the more "blow-by-blow" that you could make the battle report the better for the people like me in the peanut gallery :D :please:
 
I'll toss into the mix.

Newsbreak - Piffle anounces new export: PAIN. Free samples available in Aloha.
 
Fee Fi Fo Fum, we declare war on a Ha-waii-an.

What rhymes with Kia Ora?
Edit: Never mind I found a rhyme generator where you just enter the first line. http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Poem/poem.cgi

We sailed up to Kia Ora

We spend all our time dreaming about tunes

And my dad just burned my bra

Ever blows the wind thru my bones

---------
Along came piffle

see yer legs and hands on the sea

Reality is a staircase leading nowhere.

Weeping for the love to set her free

Piffle declares on Aloha

Climbing a purple tree.

things are not always as they appear

dance, DANCE, DAnceeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee

The Japanese may have "climbed Mount Nitaka", but we have ......

We have climbed the purple tree .... :dance:

I decided to call it a night. I will post the turn report in the morning. As well as send the save to Aloha.

If anyone wants to post in the main forum, now would be the time. I'd suggest we keep mum about Allegra, though. If they are aware that we have figured out the cities purpose, they might expect our assault on the city.

Spoiler what happened :

5/31/2007 11:14:01 PM Conroe or let it explore Innovia?
5/31/2007 11:14:47 PM casey j ah i dunno, i guess defending the shores would be good but knowing a bit more about Innovia cant be bad
5/31/2007 11:14:58 PM casey j whatever you think cap'n
5/31/2007 11:15:11 PM Conroe LOL why do you think I asked you?

5/31/2007 11:19:51 PM Conroe Have to sink that Galley first.
5/31/2007 11:20:04 PM Conroe Do we risk the boat carrying the cats or the boat carrying the cavs????
5/31/2007 11:20:08 PM Conroe I'm risking the cats
5/31/2007 11:20:43 PM Conroe sunk the Galley
5/31/2007 11:20:43 PM casey j eh ok. its kind of a big risk
5/31/2007 11:20:54 PM casey j ok good
5/31/2007 11:20:59 PM Conroe I was sweatting that one, let me tell you
5/31/2007 11:21:22 PM Conroe 2 Workers next to Kia Ora
5/31/2007 11:21:37 PM casey j can we steal em?
5/31/2007 11:21:58 PM casey j we could use em
5/31/2007 11:22:11 PM Conroe I'm going to leave them be.
5/31/2007 11:22:36 PM Conroe Our boats aren't making a return trip until later. If we steal them now, we have no way to get them home.
5/31/2007 11:22:47 PM casey j we only have the two units vs. their two right?
5/31/2007 11:23:01 PM Conroe 2 Cavs 1 Mace 3 Cats
5/31/2007 11:23:16 PM casey j ah ok.
5/31/2007 11:23:47 PM casey j what declaration of war did you like best
5/31/2007 11:24:31 PM Conroe huh?
5/31/2007 11:24:40 PM Conroe Oh, in the thread
5/31/2007 11:25:11 PM Conroe Kia Ora has fallen
5/31/2007 11:25:16 PM Conroe raze the city?
5/31/2007 11:25:31 PM casey j yeah i think so
5/31/2007 11:25:52 PM Conroe burned to the ground
5/31/2007 11:26:04 PM Conroe no injuries to our maceman
5/31/2007 11:26:14 PM Conroe Our cav is 10/15 health
5/31/2007 11:26:28 PM Conroe Unfortunately, he won't have time to heal before hitting the shores again ......
5/31/2007 11:26:54 PM casey j he heals on the boat yeah?
[missed this earlier --- AFAIK they do NOT heal on the boat when the boat is sailing]
5/31/2007 11:27:01 PM Conroe Aloha has another Galley sailing down the coast ---- another empty Galley
5/31/2007 11:27:33 PM Conroe how bad do you want those Workers?
5/31/2007 11:27:58 PM casey j not if they endanger our main assault
5/31/2007 11:28:30 PM Conroe We had an empty Galleon, enroute to load at Twaddle, that can be diverted to Kia Ora for the workers
5/31/2007 11:28:39 PM casey j that would work
5/31/2007 11:29:00 PM Conroe It would mean a 2-turn delay on reinforcements arriving at Hej
5/31/2007 11:29:31 PM casey j i think thats ok, as long as our main assault goes well
5/31/2007 11:29:36 PM Conroe Right now, we have 1 maceman exposed to a counter-attack
5/31/2007 11:29:42 PM casey j how does their power graph look now
5/31/2007 11:29:57 PM Conroe taking the Workers would expose a cav on an adjacent tile
5/31/2007 11:30:15 PM casey j within distance of their capital?
5/31/2007 11:30:18 PM Conroe power graph doesn't get updated until next turn
5/31/2007 11:30:23 PM Conroe 5 tiles
5/31/2007 11:30:48 PM casey j so it is safe, they would have to have a unit out on the roads?
5/31/2007 11:31:28 PM Conroe correct, a unit on the roads. And the roads are under the fog.
5/31/2007 11:31:45 PM Conroe And if they are ferrying boats to Allegra, they are probably doing the same with troops.
5/31/2007 11:31:50 PM casey j ah i say we go for it, workers are worth like 100 shields and 2 pop apiece
5/31/2007 11:32:36 PM Conroe done
5/31/2007 11:32:51 PM casey j cool
 
btw, did anyone send the declaration?
 
I dont think anyone did yet. Might be fun to post in the main forum.
 
k will do poste-haste... I'll post my poem and you guys could come in behind and post you stuff

that way they know that we all "love" them :p
 
Aloha is looking for the same and while they are waiting they are critiquing my awesome poetry. unkultured dorks. :lol:
 
Turn 172 - 1120AD

It's showtime! D-Day is upon us ...

But first ... a message from our sponsers ...

*****************************

Our Warrior gets a look at Innovia's newest city:

mtdg1120adcowcanalkr5.jpg


They have just renamed the city from the very obvious "CowCanal" to its current Weaverville. The city has about 8 more turns before the borders pop and they can hook up the horses. This image will also be sent to Epsilon.

mtdg1120adinnoviahg5.jpg


Since they felt the need for a canal city, I would speculate that they intend to produce boats in their northern cities.

*****************************

No tech trading, from what I can discern, this past turn. Loco and Innovia are the only two lacking Military Tradition. Is Innovia researching it currently? Their newest city tells us they intend to be in possession of MT in the near future.

It looks like Aloha may have dialed down research. They are accumulating 63gpt, which should correspond to about 20% on the research slider.

*****************************

And now, without further ado ....

mtdg1120addeclareyb4.jpg


The assault on Kia Ora will be accomplished with 2 Galleons loaded with 2 Cavalry, a Maceman, and 3 Catapults. And the force was stopped, dead in its tracks, by an Aloha Galley. The Galley occupies the only available tile that allows our invasion. :dubious:

mtdg1120adgalleywi2.jpg


The Galleon carrying our Catapults sinks Aloha's Galley. And at this point we are able to get a look at the defenses of Kia Ora.

mtdg1120adkiaoramh3.jpg


Our Cavalryman loses 1/3rd of his health taking out Aloha's Axeman. Our CRIII Maceman is able to dispatch the Warrior without a scratch, though. And the city is ours ...

mtdg1120adkiaoraoursfs8.jpg


Our troops celebrate the victory on the beaches of Kia Ora. A campfire is built, marshmellows are roasted, they are singing Kum-bye-yah ..... Well, Ok ... maybe it was more like a bonfire, built by some wasted cat operators. There was lootin' and pillagin' and all of the women got raped. Two Aloha Workers were discovered in the cargo hold of one of our Galleons. Don't know if they were raped -- don't want to know. The bonfire eventually gets out of hand ... and then all of a sudden the city catches on fire. The blaze that night could be seen as far away as Twaddle and Hamburger. The next morning, there was nothing left of what once was Kia Ora.

mtdg1120adbigpictnt9.jpg


The 2 enslaved Workers will be returned to Chappaquiddick. Our forces will then meet up on the voyage to Aloha's capital.

*****************************

All Galleons, save one, were given Combat I promotions. One Galleon, the one with the 2 Workers, was constructed before the switch to Theocracy and thus has no experience. This one is the most vulnerable to a lucky RNG roll. Next turn, once all of the ships are consolidated into a single stack, it will be much more difficult for Aloha to sink a ship based upon a lucky RNG roll.

mtdg1120adothergalleyab2.jpg


A new Galleon is being built in Brilliant for Aloha's stray Galley.

*****************************

It got kind of lost in all of the war photos, but our Axeman in Chappaquiddick had to step out of the city to whack a barb Warrior.

mtdg1120adbarbui3.jpg


It is probably not an issue this time, but the city is being defended by a couple of Spearmen at this point.

*****************************

Balderdash -> The city has grown to its size 13 happiness cap.

Hamburger -> We have enough overflow to begin producing 2-turn Cavalry. But I can MM the city for max cash (this turn only) and still not delay our next cav. And hopefully I won't forget to put it all back next turn. :ack:

Treacle Cottage -> This city trains its first Cavalry. I MM the city to where it is no longer starving. In my notes I had written that the city could be MM'ed for 5-turn Cavalry. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get better than 6-turn. :dunno:

Brilliant -> The city starts a Galleon. It will get :whipped: in a couple of turns.

Twaddle -> No changes. A Catapult is due next turn.

Leonidas -> No changes.

Chappaquiddick -> No changes.

Phooey -> No changes.

Zapotec -> No changes.

*****************************

Epsilon's capital has grown to size 17 this past turn.
 
Our troops celebrate the victory on the beaches of Kia Ora. A campfire is built, marshmellows are roasted, they are singing Kum-bye-yah .....

:lol: I was no where near those workers I swear.
 
It will be interesting to see if they retalitate somehow by pulling units out of cities or hunker down in the capital.
