( Spoilers! ) 52 ways to cook shrimp.

Going to get Engineering in roughly 3-4t. Pikes will be built and added to the main stack + border cities as im sure Knights will be coming soon. Other than that? Elephants, Catapults, and Choke-on-yous. With heavy Crossbow production. Ive got little plans to keep Pindi on his toes, but i dont expect to be anything more than a nuisance. Still, i gotta keep some sorta pressure up on him. No one else wants to stop pindicator, nor have they apparently scouted enough to not see giving me some GPT for these open borders, but at this point i really... really dont care. I was hopeful that Jowy would be the other competitor but looks like he lost a large chunk of units.


Going to send the selected mini stack at a city down to the south. If im looking at my stack correctly, it "should" be a net positive for me if he tries to kill it. Too small for catapults to be worth it, and the 2 chok's guard against spears, and elephants vs everything else... right? right?? Anyway, sparse updates from here out unless someone really wants to know something.

Any plans on settling near the iron? And what is the situation like in the south jungled corner.

Any plans on settling near the iron? And what is the situation like in the south jungled corner.

Not really, cant afford to give the sheep away, and no other food near it.

South jungled corner has 2 seperate stacks for each of us. He has his GGmorale spear/sentry numid closer to where i want to settle by the pig/clam/horse area, and then he also has 7 workers or something along with 1 spear by his city that he planted for dyes. That, is the city im going to threaten with that small stack. My capital is also building a 3t settler to go and settle for the pig/rice/horse area. Although i might just settle on the hill and forget the rice.. but then again, i do get another Trade route thanks to TGLH... Ugh, wish someone had given me a route to get to others without getting all the way to astro :P

His sentry numid/GG morale spear im pushing away with 2 Chok's and a spear, which may or may not combine with the other stack and keep pushing, as im getting engineering soon i MIGHT be able to threaten his other city and raze it this time if he moves too much down there.. But thats all wishful thinkiing. I really need someone to hit him and FORCE him to move units.

Getting engineering EOT thanks to some wealth builds.  Pikes beat Knights right?

This is probably the weakest of all feints in the history of realms beyond, but im still hopeful that he sends a decent chunk to defend that new city of his, and i can burn "Coos"

[superdeath]

Does he have a power stack of catapults waiting to hit my only remaining "stack" of units? Find out next turn on DRAGGINGMYASSZ


RNG working its magic:

 
His catapult got 4 hits on my top WE... and i apparently forgot that WE with any promotions have a rather large strength advantage vs Chok's... so that stack died without doing too much...



His trireme only taking 1 hit kinda sucks, but then again it kinda sucks that he won ANY of these 50% fights. But, RNG gods do have their reasons.


That catapult had some serious balls.

My only hope is that he moved a chunk of his catapult/hitters away from this border city so i can either burn a TON of spears of his, or just slap the city and raze it. Maybe both? Got a golden age coming up in 15-20t i think.. so im trying not to whip, but depending on how this goes i might have to.. WEEEEEEEEEEEE

How did the attack go?

[superdeath]

How did the attack go?

Captured the city with an Axe, and razed it. So deleted the axe and everything else is kosher. Pindi recently got Guilds and has been whipping numids into knights and whatnot. So i expect to slam into a large stack of his outside of my mid's city while also lightly defending my new southern city from a run-by. Biggest threat is that he rushes for my capital/2nd city with a huge knight swarm, but thanks to Engineering, we can out maneuver his forces.

If you can guess what i want this to mean, ill buy you a cookie

He needs you to provide 123 units in 4 turns at mjmds bordet but keep it secret?

[scooter]

You just really want 163 gold because it's your favorite number.
