hey, I survived!
here's the exchange last night for the most tense turns
Quote:

> wonder [Great Lighthouse]. congrat's
i also revolted this turn, since I lost the race. only gov't available was Republic, and I drew 7T
akots(92): Next. Not sure either, hard to tell. Anyhow, to spice
up your life a bit during Anarchy, I know it is long
and boring and painful:
Mountain W of Gordium, 3 workers captured with
vLegion. Their subsequent fate is a mistery. Rumor
says they will be used as slaves on Roman galleys but
there was room only for two, third had to be disposed
of.
[akots landed 2 vLegions due E of Gordium, on a mountain]
Me(92): lol nice! looks like this one might close out soon. I'll be around
tonight if you want to put it to bed, so to speak well, at least
you give me something to do with all that gold laying around lol
I switched useful builds like Libraries, barracks, and harbors to spears and 1 galley, including in Gordium. Also spent about 240g upgrading reg warriors to reg immortals
Akots(93): Next. Not sure how it will turn out, might be this
ain't bringing no stinking good for the great Roman
empire. You have a formidable development and great
unit, I might be doomed anyhow.
Battle report:
vLeg 4/4 kills v Spear in Gordium
vLeg 2/4 kills v Spear there as well
We can try to play a few turns later tonight when you
have time but I doubt the game will end that soon.
Me(93): lol, a good strategist always worries about the future while taking
care of the present ah well, i can't say i'm not enjoying the
lesson.
lesson #1 don't revolt when your opponent can reach you lol
I run more stuff into Gordium, as I only had 1 archer left. I also leave a 3/3 immortal SW of the mountain as bait, hoping he gets off that damn mountiain. I didn’t want to have endless Legions parking there, destroying Gordium (it has 2 cows! )
Akots(94): Next. Battle report:
vLeg 2/5 kills Immo in Gordium
vLeg 2/4 kills Immo 2SW of Gordium
Me(94): Battle report:
vImmortal kills 2/4 Legion 2SW of Grodium (4/4)
vImmortal kills 2/5 Legion on Mountain (2/4)
Anarchy GA, that's something new lol Now I make 2x as much corruption 
Akots is driven off the mountain. I spread out 5 units to make sure no more landings here
Akots(95): Next. Well, at least you waste something. But it was a tough call, these legions would have pillaged your
nice tiles if left unattanded or may be even impale
themselves on the swords of your Immortals and you get
Golden Age anyhow. Also seems your Anarchy is close to
an end if you decided to attack.
Me (95): well, I like that rock. when you look at it with the sun setting just right, it looks like the sillouette of Abe Vigoda as far as my
anarchy goes, 1 turn or 10, any in a GA is pure hell lol

So, I made it, though it's not all strawberries and cream. Lost 3 workers, 2 spears and 2 immortals vs his 2 Legions. Also, he has kept the pressure up by landing 6 Legions (4vets, 2 reg) on turn 98 near Samaria and captured another frozen worker on turn 99. I probably killed 2 Legions more by sinking a galley that was will the group(turn97). Also, I revolted into Republic to keep up with Akot's research, but I already have WW, so things will not get better. Probably should have stuck with my plan to go for Monarchy. Well, I have 3 lux's connected, and will have a 4th in 2T if I can drive off that group of Legions. Also have Colossus in Persepolis and research is brisk (doing HBR, 4T total, but Poly can be done in 4T, and currency in 5T, construction 7T). I should reach the MA just after Akots, but with my free tech and cheap libraries, I should pull ahead.
Question: Since I'm on the defensive, would KT make sense for me? I probably need to beeline for Chivalry anyways.
