Will do. The E city I landed next to is going to be a tough cookie to crack (walls, hill, pike... ouch).

Whomp · 27-01-2006, 18:50

He seems to be having issues connecting iron all over. That's the 2nd iron that's not connected now. I presume that means he has only one iron source connected for all three countries, if that. Do you think that rubble is from a barb uprising? Oops.

Regentman I tend to disagree with Tubby on this a bit. It may be worthwhile picking those immortals back up and sending them north to Lugdunum. That city with walls and a hill is not worth taking high losses on IMO.

Instead I'd take the northern boats into that cove and the core, landing 1 immortal on the iron mountain to deny that resource. Then land the rest on the highest ground you can find in that cove and closer to his core.

Tubby Rower · 27-01-2006, 19:09

That rubble is where China abandoned Chengdu when I had a samauri and he had a warrior defending it. I have a samauri SE of that mountain to the SE of the immortal stack. Depending on what he has defending that city, I might have it this coming turn too.

I'm fine with picking up and going directly after Lugdunum. Might be prudent, but I figured that some of them might even be able to walk over there once Ebor... is taken.

Game is in the bag, it seems.

RegentMan · 29-01-2006, 09:06

I don't want to get cocky or anything, but it seemed too easy. It feels like mahler was going for a peaceful game. I wonder what his ultimate goal of victory was.

I started Chemistry I think. Both Chemistry and Physics were the same price. I can switch if I need to. I prolly need stop sending only one samauri at a time to these cities. I have no clue where that rider came from because I didn't think that China had any horses. But it's dead now. I'll prolly lose another sammie if China feels lucky. I think that there is only a sword in Tsingtao and nothing else can get my 1/4 sword over there I think. I think that I have two samauris S of the middle of the three china cities I don't remember because I was trying to play this and Whomp's madness in a span of about 15 minutes.

ok.. have fun storming the caste

Whomp · 01-02-2006, 19:31

Tubs I just finished Chem I thought and was going to start on Metallurgy.

Whomp · 02-02-2006, 03:26

Tubs I'm a dork. I started on physics when I sent chem and will be done in two. I can finish metal in 5(but that was at 30% science so it's more likely 4 turns) if you want me to switch.

I forgot to take a picture but there's a Celt MI and LB fortified on a mountain at Tsing Tao in case you didn't see them.

I have 1 pike, 3 MI, 1 LB and a knight at Tsing Tao plus 1 Pike, a MI and 4 buchets on the iron hill behind them.
There are 2 muskets, 4 knights, 2 MI and a MW headed north to Nanking.
In New York there's 6 MI (1 elite), 2 Pikes and 1 elite knight healing.
I rushed rax there and Burdigala. There's a Chinese galley headed for my coast but can't get there. I will try to sink it next turn with a galley.
