Yeah, I was going to say, we need to bleed off some units to keep costs down when China's GA ends. What do you think your odds are? I can push down with my army as well if you want, I don't think T4 is able to really do anything right now.
Also I need to play my own turn this turn, I have some ideas on how to do my culture.

Actually since China is at 100% culture its not getting any help from the golden age in its costs so there's no need to worry about that. And I don't think you need to move any units down. Should be fine.

Speaker shall not be pleased. I killed his GG along with that entire back stack he had trailing along. :neenernee
Also he will not be able to take Leeroy Jenkins next turn, and possibly not the turn following either. ASM if you didn't get my msg on gchat, when you play the turn move 8 jans down from Samsun and leave 6 to defend against T4. We will see them coming if T4 decides to come but the most they can get it 6 rifles amphibiously. I have pics but its 3 am I have an 8 am class and I still need to format the pictures.

So I logged in had low power on my Laptop and want dot run through the turn to get it off quickly. I looked at what Speaker'd done and laughed. It was obvious he'd moved the back stack up into position where the 2-movers could hit the city. That's fine except now I can hit that stack too. And it has a high value GG medic Cav in it.
It looked like this: I remembered halfway through catting it that I should take a picture of the before. ![[Image: T1before.jpg]](http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l505/Lewwyn/T1before.jpg) and then after: ![[Image: T1after.jpg]](http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l505/Lewwyn/T1after.jpg) Because there were no siege in the stack I got maximum collateral with minimum cats. I then proceeded to take it out. Maces actually had better odds because all his units had promos or abilities vs gunpowder. The logs: ![[Image: T1log1.jpg]](http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l505/Lewwyn/T1log1.jpg) ![[Image: t1log2.jpg]](http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l505/Lewwyn/t1log2.jpg) I have overlapped the two so there looks like there is more Red then there actually is. The final tally looks like this: Lost: 9 cats 5 maces 3 jans 2 pikes 1 musket Killed: 5 cav (1 was GG) 1 curi 1 knight 3 redcoats 2 rifles Totally worth it even if those victorious units are now in the flat in front of the city. I even got a GG out of the deal. I didn't count up hammers, but just killing those 2-move cavs and the GG was really important... in a totally irrelevant to the outcome of the game type of way... The other stack has like 3 infantry, 3 cav, 3 rifles and 6 redcoats or something on top of some cannons. But they don't have enough units to kill all the units in Leerooy Jenkins next turn. One may also notice that the final win went to my Mace named "Stop trying so hard ^_^" You may remember he was first renamed when Speaker razed my first city with the GA. I am happy he has made such an inspiring return to prominence even though I doubt he will survive long. 
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”
I'm calculating T3 at ~163 units from the military screen, China will have ~228 and T3 will lose cannons in the attack.
Way to cut it close: End Turn - 1 Turn Left! T3 Moves End Turn - Culture Explosion! T3 Attacks Win!
