Questions?

I hesitate to ask my question because I'm about equally curious about this game and moment as I am anxious to get going on PB53.

What are your goals/objectives?

Questions?

I hesitate to ask my question because I'm about equally curious about this game and moment as I am anxious to get going on PB53.

What are your goals/objectives?

Goal: Knock pindicator out of the running/winner's circle.

Objective #1: Win the game at all cost.

Objective #2: Raze or keep Pindi cities with my far superior Horse Archers.

Objective #3: ???

Objective #4: Profit

Deleted 1 axe, and lost 1 HA to a pindi axe on a forested hill.... But i eliminated a pindicator worker, axeman, and archer, + captured a city.. So net win?


Real sad that he completed a chariot here.



16 HA. should be 20 HA before our stacks clash. Do i go for his capital? Or take all the rest of his holdings.. hmm.

[superdeath]

Ill upload screenshots after work... took this turn while on my break.

But more or less: I dont think i can take his capital right now. However, it looks like ive spotted his Copper + Iron, so i think i can pillage/raze those and clean up later. Still waiting on his main stack to come back. I expect this war to be over in about 5t. But not... "peace" Just over. One way or another. Yippie.

[superdeath]

Plan this coming turn whenever pindi gets to it... Move the main stack S-SE and fork Yamhill and Clatsop while the galley unloads both HA's on the grass hill 3E of its current position. If he moves capital units to try and protect any of that, my reinforcements should be able to keep his capital honest.


Order of importance: Razing the copper city/his iron. Razing ( or keeping if i can ) the buddhist holy city.

I expect his Numid's to be coming north very soon. If they dont, well... we gonna have ourselves a party.

[superdeath]

Probably should have placed this stack on the wheat instead as his 2 spears on that hill can hit it where it is.. but wasnt entirely focused due to a major toothache. Eating extra strength tylenol like candy..


Anyway, due to whip mechanics and pindicator not being a novice... and i being not nearly as good at this game as i always think i am... im hoping for good dice rolls. like... GOOD dice rolls so that i can raze this buddhist holy city and continue into Japan lands. But most likely, i potentially raze his copper city, tear up his iron, and we both get a GG.

Followed of course by my Great Lighthouse build which ill be really sad if it gets stolen from me.. and a hillariously badly timed Pyramids build. Who's taking bets?



Hey i called it... 20+ HA before the "big showdown" Do i win a cookie?

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Are whales still an optics resource in this mod - I really didn't consider that when making the map and putting that whale there.

[superdeath]

Yes, sadly. Then chumchu convinced me to settle in place on the hill rather than 1N for the shared food... so now its gonna slowly grow on cottages until optics. Yippie!

WELL I HAD MOST OF THIS POST DONE AND READY TO HIT " POST " AND I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED THE X IN THE TOP RIGHT AND CLOSED THIS GOD DAMN WINDOW.


Anyway.... this is what i can remember from the beginning of the post before i even logged in and began my descent into madness..

" Saw pindicator was logged in for 5!!! min after the turn roll. Was he gloating or something? Should have a lurker talk with him about maybe.... not being logged in after the turn rolls for that long. The point of being the 2nd in the turn split isnt so that you can sneak observations from the turn roll.. 2nd in turn order is already good enough without that as well "

SO here is the report. Pindi got better than normal luck. Pindi has 95% chance of winning this game from my point of view. All hail RN-jesus and praise the sun.


Combat log:

 

Flawless wins/losses are always fun to see.

Anyway, so after reading thru the combat log myself in-game and realizing that "HEY, maybe that means my combat luck should be REALLY REALLY good right now, and i can take a crack at doing SOMETHING in this war, before pindicator runs his army north" So, i took my 2 HA that were dropped off from the galley and had the c1Shock smack the spear that he i guess had cash to upgrade ( and still get currency in 2/1t!?! ) along with the axe that he of course could whip. And that HA withdrew. Ok, not "terrible" but would have liked a win there. Anyway, the c2 HA vs an axe fight. 70.8%, which is right around where all his spears ect had vs my HA's and won basically every single one. Guess what? Mine died. So, now my galley is retreating with a single super wounded cowardly HA who refused to die in combat like the rest of his platoon.... and now i wonder how badly i want to protect this shitty city that i should have just razed. Gah.






Oh, and i whipped TGLH because if i lost a coinflip or someone beat me to it in the next 4t till its completion.... i would probably have a stroke.



Any Questions/Concerns regarding stuff other than my mental health?

[superdeath]

Lots of fun filled conversation with Charriu and Mjmd. Helps fill the void.


Units will keep pouring out till Peace is achieved. He has to know that he cant conquer me.... i think. And i cannot conquer him. I suppose he wants this city back, and im hoping to get enough real defenders in there that he cant just slam 500 spears/Numids into my HA's again..


But, if u notice in the corner of this screenshot, Cairo has moved 4 impi's towards Pindicator.... PLEASE LET THIS BE A THING.


Landed TGLH. However due to Pindi's culture, im not getting trade routes with ANYONE else, so im having to double up on my own right now which kinda hurts.


This has been your t100 field report. Any questions?
