Turns 240 to 249

[CommandoBob]

New pollution near Fortress of Meleet prevented the Cruiser from completing.

Free World (Gong) built a worker that I overlooked last turn.

Saber is in Anarchy; they were in Republic.

(No movement done; F3 data updated; Posted Turn 248 Preview).

Sent Sub Looter up the coast of The Council; saw a Mech Inf in The Pier but nothing on the shores. Seeing the Transport in The New Yard seemed a bit odd, however.


To steal Saber's plans cost 4080/6120/8160 for Immediately/Carefully/Safely. We have about 1100 gold, so this won't happen anytime soon. To the same to The Council costs 2471/3706/4942.

Factoid:
Stealth Bomber: 240 shields, needs Oil and Aluminum; Range of 16.
Stealth Figher: 120 shields, needs Oil and Aluminum; Range of 12, can see 2 squares.
Both have Lethal Land and Sea Bombbardment.

Almost missed this. Saber has recaptured the 11 Tile island that they lost to The Council.

Investigate some Saber cities.

Caladbolg (North Saber) for 52 of 1116 gold.

Caladbolg 1285 AD

Spoiler :

Zar'roc (North East Saber) for 67 of 1064 gold.


Zar'roc 1285 AD

Spoiler :

Kris (inland of What's Plan B?) for 150 of 997 gold.

Kris 1285 AD

Spoiler :

847 gold, -201 gpt.
Stealth in 4 turns.

Money is getting tight (and this snooping did not help). We may need to slow down and learn Stealth in 5.

[CommandoBob]

We accept 20 gold from Babe.

Second turn of Saber's Anarchy.

Mountain pollution is cleaned; clean up pollution near Fortress of Meleet. This leaves only two polluted tiles, a plains and a forest.

I've regrouped our ships so that it is easier (I hope) to tell more about our unit allocations.

Hire some taxmen to help with our cash.

Next turn I will changing some builds back to Modern Armor as prebuilds for Stealth Bombers. Those puppies cost twice as much as Modern Armor, 240 shields to 120 shields. So even Freedom Central would take 4 turns to make one Stealth Bomber. Unless we want to disband something to help build the SBombers.

Workers in Gong have forestted everything they can, until we reduce some cities.

Once we learn Stealth we'll have to scale back our tech efforts. Right now we can drop science down to 70% and still learn Stealth in 3. So on the last turn we can reduce science quite a bit and make back some of the cash we've lost.

667 gold, -201 gpt.
Stealth in 3 turns.
