Alright, enough memes. Lets get back to RNG kicking me in the shins and then pissing on me.
Not even a hit. What is this horseshit. Apparently HER EMAILS was just a ghost ship.
I was kinda curious why my carefully calculated whipping/planning had a city unhappy this turn. Checked to see that Mr.Cairo no longer wants me to be stalling Naufragar.

Yes Sir. So, if u want to help end my misery that is this pitboss, ill help you as well! <3
2t from razing his 2nd city unless its FULL of units. Crossbows dont scare me nearly as much as 8str units do. Magic Science why did you accept peace bro?

8 2+promo horse archers will raze as much as possible before they are killed and i resort to good ol' archer whips in all my cities for the next 20t. Full Montezuma.

The perfect music for this pitboss as i end my turn..
Japan deserves my western cities for their well timed samurai attack, and the effort they seem to be putting in to end me. I declared on Mr.Cairo this turn to set the turn split up. He can whip next turn, but its all about how he moves his units. I sent him a peace treaty to hopefully either A: make him think im just afraid about a dogpile, or B: give me 10 turns of freedom from Mr.Cairo to possibly make Japan whip a bunch. Im as excited as you to find out what happens next!
Im curious if when i lose my capital, if ill still be 3rd in land area. IF i still am, thats really really sad.

Took a chance on Mr.Cairo's probably loaded galley... lost. Only hit the fucker once.
Here is the bullshit that has made me be alot more DGAF this pitboss.
Flawless win at 88.5%.
Hit only once at 95%.
a decent fight that ALMOST beat the samurai at 88.9%.
another FLAWLESS win at 90.8%.
Mr.Cairo has 4 spears in every border city. .. So lets see if Japan has the same.

Yeah, you losing those battles was the expected outcome. Killing the treb and losing to 4 Samurai feels about right, but losing every battle (or the treb withdrawing) wouldn't have been unusual.

Quote:Losing the battles is not my issue. Flawless wins are. Forgive me for not understanding combat in its entirety, but archers have 1 free first strike right? Wouldn't that guarantee no one gets a flawless win vs an archer or am i just stupid?
That's not how free strikes work.
DeepO, who wrote the ingame combat calculator for Civ4, explains it on Apolyton
Basically: If you have archers defending against Samurai, and teh Samurai are getting 90% odds, your free strikes aren't going to do anything (and because they start with Drill2, they negate the integral free strike from teh archer anyway).
