Just glad to have something to contribute during this untimely pause. Team Duke, lewdly win my nut, here's to winning nuts. Good luck with the upcoming bloodbath.

So now that you finished your turn how have you chosen to make spulla suffer? Are you going for shock and awe or slow and painful?

Okay the penultimate turn has arrived. Basically just moved a few more units into Beijing and hit enter on all 3 civs. All three invasions have continued, lets go from least interesting to most.

First T4:



Here you can see their main stack with 3 cats. Yes 3 cats is all. The other stack has more cav and in total they have about 10 cav I think, but my culture defense is high and you brought 3 cats... I feel like we're being AIed again.

Speaking of:



T1 has brought another slow stack up from the south... They did NOT attack this turn and are instead sitting outside my city healing slowly waiting for this new stack of reinforcements. I mean even if we weren't about to win, this is incredibly slow. If I hadn't sent my main stack to Beijing these units would all be dead. It's pretty funny that again they are just strolling up to my city in piecemeal stacks.

Now for our real contenders, T3. I'm just going to give you an accurate count of the units I will have in Beijing over the next two turns. Instead of counting them all its better just to look at what units AREN'T in the city:



Currently only 1 warrior, 1 archer, 1 LB, 1 cat, 2 pikes and 3 explorers are not in Beijing. Next turn all of those units will enter the city except for the archer and possibly the pikes in order to stop them from razing the nearby city with one knight on principle.

I'm expecting 173-175 units total. Currently for this turn 168 units are in the city.

Additionally there is my Wonderland stack in the city:



21 cats
18 muskets
12 pikes
7 maces
4 jans
3 Xbow
1 GG medic

66 total

168 + 66 =234 Current units in the city + 6 next turn.

You may also see that there are now two more trailing stacks of units coming from T3, but they are too late.

I've promoted a little over half of the units in the city to either CG2 or Drill2 the rest will heal promote next turn assuming they are alive. I'm not sure on accurate count of how many are like that. I'm thinking now after looking at the number that I should have promoted more, but its okay it doesn't matter too much either way... to me at least. :neenernee


One final thing, the happy faces:

We're going to pop em all on the final turn. After all this I kinda don't want to limp in on the last two turns. Rather go out with a bang.

I'm betting that T3 sees my GAs in Beijing and they can see how much culture the city has from the victory screen so they know when Beijing goes legendary. They're probably just hoping that the other cities are behind a few turns.

Death by happiness!

I wonder what would constitute a Fatality in this regard... Maybe a fourth city hitting legendary the same turn?

The pen is mightier, indeed.

Please ignore the poor video quality, it looks like it was shot by the moon landing crew in the 1960s...

Haha okay guys you have to wait just a BIT more. I want to write up the combat from last turn and the culturing this turn, but I have class for 4 hours. So in a bout 5 hours I'll get to writing that up. ASM still has to play his turn and pop his legendary, but both Milkshake and Beijing are popped.
