[Spoilers] Mismanaged empire is best empire

[AdrienIer]

Taotao wants to give me silk (and probably a few coins from TRs). I accept.




REM met me, but I wanted to ask for a trade deal at the same time as OB.







In the east I prepared the assault on the capital, and killed a worker too. Boak is getting some pikes ready though, so IDK what I can do about it.

Intercontinental warfare, phase 1 : REM attacks Gavagai. I was wondering why REM was taking more than 2 hours to take his turn.

[AdrienIer]

Message to the lurkers : I'm on holiday from next monday to the monday after that and I won't have much time during my trip for civ turns. Could someone play my turns next week ?

[AdrienIer]

It seems likely that I won't be able to play the next turn. So here are my instructions to whoever is kind enough to play my turns :

The east is not in a great state. I'm currently building a ton of muskets (because Boak's pike stack would kill knights easily), and I have a small cat stack ready. The plan is to put all of them in Alsager Bank and when there are enough I plan to counterattack.




The musket in the capital must stay there in case Barteq attacks. In which case all is lost, so do as you please.

Oh and I'm first in the turn split.

I think that's all the info needed. I'll be available in case there's a question

[AdrienIer]

Can anyone confirm that they'll be covering for me ? Even a spoiled lurker would be fine if they're not spoiled with Boak or Barteq's thread recently (or think they can sub anyway)

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

It looks like your neighbors have not been updating much so spoiled subs shouldn't be that much of an issue. I'll look in if I get a chance.

[AdrienIer]

Thanks

Hey Adrien,

I haven't read anything in your thread yet. Sorry for the backstab. I figured that was my chance to maybe win/end up in a top position and went for it. My illusions of grandeur ended up being my total demise. Hopefully I didn't make your life that miserable with the attack and hopefully you got your deserved revenge when I got destroyed.

GG!

[AdrienIer]

Hi ! I perfectly understand why you did it. You saw an opportunity and you took it.

I'd say that the worse part of your attack was that it made Barteq dogpile me and force a 3 way front. Those were desperate times

[AutomatedTeller]

Adrien - I'm played the turn. You have a GG that you moved to Mitchell, which is your HE. Is that supposed to be settled? I am just leaving it there for now.

3 Muskets completed and I moved all the muskets over toward the east. You had 4 workers with nothing to do, so I moved them to make a road in a tile that had nothing else to do.


I accidentally moved the musket out of Foley (the cap) - I'll put it back next turn. I marked it as needing to be moved back.

Beyond that, all cities went musket->musket.

Events were eventful. A mace GG died. HAK lost a city to GULAG. Gavagai got a GG (Gavagai is GULAG, correct?)

You have 970 gold and are at 100% science, losing 105 gpt. You get chemistry in 6 turns. (I think)
