[spoilers] Pindicator and Regoarrarr - Bismark of Ethiopia

[regoarrarr]

The thing is, you didn't need to do the galley chain. You could have just loaded the left behind units into the Red Galley last turn and unloaded them into the city immediately, and then unloaded the Yellow Galley units this turn. Same result.

Maybe.... but with less cool factor :D

Now go tell me what kind of computer to buy

[regoarrarr]

Krill and Nakor traded Astronomy for Replaceable Parts this turn, and we opened our screen to find that Krill had offered Astro to us for 1000 gold. We turned him down to examine things but have countered with 853 gold.

Astro seems more interesting, with Scooter getting it in 2 turns because....



We hit the 100 culture mark in Wild and Crazy Guys, allowing us passage to the western isles. After offloading our Oromo, we see that Scooter is surely interested in those tiles.

He can't stop us from actually settling (I think?) but we'll see....

[regoarrarr]

Ahhhh yeah Krill took our deal, meaning we're the proud owners of a nice little Astronomy tech!!!

Do we upgrade galleys or build new galleons?

I think we should build galleons out of HS- it has those settled GGs so we can get some nav-1 galleons

Isn't it landlocked?

[pindicator]

Um, no it isnt

what's going on out in the world? who's at war with whom?

what's going on out in the world? who's at war with whom?

I think the better question might be who ISN'T at war with whom.... and the answer would be "not very many people"

Let's see if I can summarize

Us: At war with Yuris125
Commodore: At war with Yuris125 (mostly fake since he's down to one city nowhere near Commodore) as well as Cyneheard
Yuris125: At war with us and Commodore (for only 2 more turns I hope!!)
Cyneheard: At war with Commodore (and on the way out). Also in I believe a fakish war with Krill
BRickAstley: Getting a beat down from scooter
Scooter: Applying said beatdown, and also at war with Krill
Azza: At war with Krill (it had been fairly static for awhile but just lost a city this turn)
Krill: At war with Azza, Cyneheard and scooter.
Nakor: not at war with anyone (I knew we could find someone!!) but I am guessing tensions are somewhat high along his border with Krill

Unless this was a subtle nudge to log in to the game to find out that scooter has made peace with krill and declared war on us

We are guessing he's mad with our attempts to settle those islands (and fairly rightfully so, IMO), and we're trying to figure out what to do.

Annoyingly (as if something coudl be more annoying than amphibious rifles on 6 move galleons), losing his stone means a 1t delay in our Oxford time

[waterbat]

No, just good timIng on my part I guess. I was looking at the minimap and scores and wondering what was up. For example - was wondering if krill was at war with anyone at this point - wonder why he hasn't finished azza off.
