[NO PLAYERS] Lurking and Mapmaking PB52

[Miguelito]

I guess Mjmd should just have left Charriu's capital to Jowy, and would be in a much more relaxed position now?

[Lazteuq]

So, does anyone know what Cairo is planning? Because Mjmd seems to be pinned down, I feel like Cairo and/or Jowy will have to act soon to prevent OH/Pindi from winning. But so far I haven't seen any willingness from either of them to attack. As a bloodthirsty lurker, I'm hoping for some game-changing surprise attack by Cairo, but it doesn't look likely.

So, OH used some commando nonsense to raze a couple of MJMD's major cities. I have to say, I didn't expect OH to consistently outplay MJMD this much. I knew that long-term OH would win, but not quite so easily.

I'm going to go and invade Jowy, since the game is probably going to end soon.

???


I guess he's invading Jowy for the sheer pleasure of it? Otherwise Cairo should either concede, because OH has won, or maybe try to prevent the guy who is about to win from actually winning.

[Charriu]

don't quite understand the reporting on the mjmd/jowy/at/charriu front - did AT and jowy effectively declare a MPP against charriu after jowy misinterpreted his intentions?

What does MPP stand for?

Right now, I don't see Charriu having much of a gameplan, and MJMD is playing a builder gambit T100+ against multiple dangerous neighbours.

I definitely have to improve on that area.

Not completely unexpected, but that is a lot of meat.

So get out the grinder

What's left. Wish I was on the second half and got free heals before he gets to act.

Charriu's attack never made any sense to me. Why did he think it was a good idea to invade someone with higher power who's a generation ahead on military tech (?) This just lets Jowy clean out a huge stack with minimal losses and then sent in the knights to conquer. Jowy seems to be focusing on rifles when he should be pushing for either Liberalism or cuirassiers but in any case his path forward through Charriu looks like it just became a lot easier.

First of all you are right about me antagonizing my two neighbors Mjmd and Jowy with KeenIceWitches and the small war for the worker against Jowy. Especially that last one. To the post at hand. I knew that I was behind in power and tech. But I also knew that this disavantage would just become bigger in the upcoming turns. I figured I might try something while I can. The alternative would have been to just wait and die against even better units. Or what would you have done? It was clear to me that Jowy will come back to me in the future.

If it's not obvious right now I won't most likely last till the end of this PB. So it's time to have a little fun, while we still have the time and the fun is called: Escape plan. I'm one of the few players with ocean travel. Let's try to get to Astronomy, upgrade my galley to a galleon, load up a settler and start anew on a new coast, provided there is at least a new coast. So going Calendar->Paper->Astronomy with the possibility of selling maps to the highest bidder on the way.

Charriu will be very disappointed. I added no astro islands lmao

The sheer joy of Charriu's that he's found a random spot to plant an iceball city, just to stave off elimination!

One of the best moments for me in the game. I was so happy to find that spot.
