That's sort of like "better reporting skills"...

I'm not doing a very good job encouraging elaborate reports, either, partly because I'm not very good about them myself. rolleye

edit: oh right... how are things going?

The bad news:

4 COMBAT 2 WARRIORS COMING FOR ME. My total empire has 7 warriors.

Immediate mobilization has occured, with trust that Calabim won't break a NAP into my one warrior city...

On the plus side:

Horses! A good terrain tile, and a good strategic resource. Always appreciated.

Are you actually building warriors somewhere? The screenshot shows an elder council and brewery

Perhaps Bhall built one this turn, but that's a very good question. Somehow, I hadn't noticed that.

Answer: Only in my threatened city all the way to the right =) Running a really tight farmer's gambit for now to get ready by T120.

I will have one warrior in both cities, with 3 others playing zone defense (one turn to either city). One more is being completed, hopefully in time. If it is, 4 warriors in zone defense.

I'd be a little nervous about the possibility that a few of the attacking warriors survive and clean up wounded warriors on the second turn... but, I guess, between +30% vs. barbarian and +25% defending a city, even C2 warriors would have a hard time beating your units and you should hopefully have at least one to counterattack.

On further consideration, though, I guess if you need the farmer's gambit, which, with the aggressive tech goals we laid out, you probably do... sure, sounds good. =)

Well, about as well as can be expected when i have not played a single save yet =)

Edit: Manage to make it 6 warriors on a hill. That would give me slightly better odds (+25 from city, +25 from hill, (And whatever fortify) against C2 barb).

There's no 30% against barb btw.

Ok. BLOODY SUSPICIOUS.

I have contact with Sareln, but i don't see any elven unit anywhere.... Makes me think he got a giant Spider.

Urgh. Played the save in haste, so forgot to take a guerilla promotion for one of the warriors. Hope he doesn't die..
