I guess I should actually post some pics here, since people seem to actually be looking at my thread. Mostly, it will be about MrCairo taking cities... and then Jowy and Mjmd taking cities, I'm sure.

Well, MrCairo stopped off to bombard my city defenses. I chose to hit his stack with a bunch of catapults and then units. That was probably a mistake, but it was fun - lost a lot of units - killed a few, damaged a bunch.
I think Mjmd is going to attack - he's got a worker in position to road. I'd attack, were I him. I should outlast SD, who seems to be pretty much done. I'll probably move units out of WhiteKeys, cause other cities are more important to my soon-to-be conquered empire. I have mentioned issues with the map - I think I have more to bring up - but most of my problems in this game are from my play, not the map.

Mr Cairo has advanced to Deck. I've been whipping a lot - my guess is that he bombards a couple of turns and then attacks, but I dunno.
pindicator attacked Mjmd, which probably means Mjmd is the next one out after me.

MrCairo took Deck pretty easily. I'm building up for a big battle at Pickup, which I'll probably lose. But I'll hit his stack with a bunch of catapults. I'm going to stop improving anything, but I'll leave him my workers. probably leave one for Jowy at WhiteKeys.
Mjmd is attacking, though 4 knights and a horse archer is not impressive. If he doens't have some good units on his galleys, this isn't going anywhere - not against a LB and a pike in a castle. I hit his units with a cat which withdrew, so he has that in the way, too. Mjmd gets no workers, as he's just being an opportunist and hasn't really worked for this!!

For reasons surpassing understanding, Mjmd takes my island city and gives me peace. I don't know why. He could take 4 cities, easily, if he pushed in with all his units - good cities, too - cities with gems and gold and marble and food.
Maybe he just wants to let MrCairo expend energy? I dunno. I feel like I might be able to smash MrCairo's stack, to be honest. Dunno if I can take back my cities or not - I have 19 catapults, which is enough to screw up a stack. He's got 8 seige and 32 hitters in my territory, plus some more in Deck and LII. I have something like 26 hitters and 19 cats near my cap and that list is growing all the time. 19 catapults will do serious damage to 40 units.

Well, I feel like you guys deserve to see what's going to happen here.
![[Image: pb52t185mrcairo.jpg]](https://dl.dropbox.com/s/zastlv55iy1c99b/pb52t185mrcairo.jpg) The northwest part of my empire is gone and he's moving his huge stack to attack the cap. I dunno if he's going to attack alphabet or not - it seems like it would be a waste of time for him to do so - he'd lose a couple of units. This is not going to make much a difference for me in the game - I have whipped so hard that I'll be lucky to get above size 4 in most of my cities and that's with being agg/cha/maya. I am not sure when I'll hit him - I'm not sure where he's planning on going - maybe the hill east of Pickup, I dunno. That crosses the river, but it has a 25% bonus. Doesn't matter - if he's going there, I'll hit him in the flatlands. I have a few more catapults coming and a few more HA - I hope that by the time the HA engage, there will be enough damage that they will surive and I'll flank the hell out of his seige. I have some hope to get Deck back from this, maybe LII. Probably not. Its' all irrelevant, since Mjmd has rifles, I think. I have no idea why Charriu is researching Astronomy. that's weird

So, looks like I'll have to wait until he comes next to the city to hit him. In my sims, I pretty much wipe out his stack... but pretty much is not actually wiping it out and a couple more turns of getting units will help. hitting it from the city means I can throw everything in - right now, I kind of have to keep some units back to keep him from taking the city right after with his remnants.

So, MrCairo lost a couple of trebuchet and razed Alphabet, the bastard. (he's not really a bastard. I'm assuming he doesn't like where it was placed)
He now has 7 seige (2 cat, 5 treb) and 34 hitters in that stack (11 knights, 10 mace, 4 xbow, 4 elephants, 2 LB, 2 chariots, 1 pike 1 sword) I should have plenty to hit him with. Its gonna get bloody!!
