[SPOILERS] Lurkers Thread - Well someone has to do it

[NobleHelium]

Oh, I'm stupid. Mist just deleted the wolf after reaching the desert tile. Hah. Forgot about that.

Yeah, the Straatus situation should be interesting. I believe uberfish is planning to plant his northwest city next, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went to attack Straatus after that (or he could plant a city to the southeast of Bruti near the line of desert hills). I don't think the Calabim have the military to attack Straatus until after the troops are back from the war, so I expect uberfish will get to the barbarian city first if he attacks it after planting his next city. It doesn't look like uberfish is going to contribute any actual units to the war effort, seeing as how he hasn't said a thing about building any units for it.

[fire&ice]

Could uberfish drop the body in the sea with his gryphon.

That would alow him to acualy use the spider for other things then camping in forests.

[NobleHelium]

He should be able to fly it out to sea and delete the griffon, yeah.

[Square Leg]

He should be able to fly it out to sea and delete the griffon, yeah.

What would happen if he just dropped the pieces over the sea? He shouldn't have to delete the griffon.

[NobleHelium]

Oh yeah, you can drop the pieces unlike some other items. That should work, I assume.

[DaveV]

The problem with dropping the Pieces at sea is that they would just sit there, visible, until someone came by with a boat to pick them up again. I'm pretty sure they won't sink (Barnaxus is actually a wood golem?).

[cesium]

Watching Sciz search for the pieces will be hilarious. However, what irks me about his play right now is that he really should start selling stuff to Illos and Serdoa (etc.) - e.g. offer a 10t loan of Enchantment mana to Illos for 70 gold (Ench I must be useful with the war on), or even offer a Golden Hammer for gold. Then use the gold to research festivals at 100% and actually start having an economy. Drudging like now is only a recipe for a mercy killing by Mist, and even though selling may help the leader surviving has to take priority.

NobelHelium: It's difficult to tell since sunrise and darrel don't regularly update , but I think the roading in their last screenshot suggests they going south sooner rather then later - I don't understand the last tile in the road from Acaia unless they intend to run it south...

[Mr. Yellow]

Why the sea when you can drop it on a peak?

Would be pretty hilarious if the Griffon dropped Barnaxus on one of the peaks next to Cotton Valley.

[Hesmyrr]

If Hidden Nationality Griffon blatantly boasting around the Barnaxus can escape journey through player's lands unscathed, that is. And would the elves even dare declare nationality of the non-invisible Barnaxus courier?

That would alow him to acualy use the spider for other things then camping in forests.

Actually realized the spider has already declared its nationality. To my understanding he can't attack with it anymore without declaring war? Then can't see how other uses can be gotten out of it.

Edit: Never mind; the flag colour confused me.

[Krill]

Just realised...Ilios can't kill Loki.

Ilios gets all of his units around Loki. Loki is standing on a tile with Uberfish' hunter. Serdoa declares on Uberfish and teleports Loki to the nearest tile to his city closest Loki. Which is right next to his front city with Ilios.

Man that'd be annoying for Ilios.
