Pitboss 18 Lurker Thread of Infinite Wisdom

So Azza really doesn't get how he is pink dotting constantly, does he?

[SevenSpirits]

1. Annoy Azza somehow.
2. Azza throws away his game.
3. Let development lead over Azza grow.
4. Conquer Azza.
5. Profit!

[Ceiliazul]

pretty much. Mardoc seems to have that as his game plan anyway.

[Thoth]

Next time Azza and Jowy are in the same game they should get a continent to share between them.

Turn 85

Whosit has an Axe guarding 2 Workers on a hill, while Cheater Hater has a Chariot in Kamigawa. If he pops out to gain visibility on the tile, he could be in a position to profit considerably.

Azza and Mardoc make peace. Azza immediately plants an extremely aggressive city. Pretty much guaranteed to see more fighting on that border in the future.

Pindicator hasn't moved yet this turn. I've labelled the positions of all units I can see. Looks like he's currently a bit short of being able to finish Barry off.

Ruff makes peace with Qgqqqqq, though I never saw any exchange of units between them.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 86

Wetbandit arrives at Nakor's borders with an Axe. Looks like a fairly pink dot there too. Probably won't result in war yet, but will keep an eye on it.

Still no final move against Barry yet from pindicator.

Ruff_Hi declares war on BGN, though I don't see any of their units in one anothers' territory. Perhaps just sniping an overly ambitious explorer?

[T-hawk]

Still no final move against Barry yet from pindicator.

Should he? Pindicator already has plenty of gains. 5 archers is significant resistance. To take it would burn enough units that it'd be cheaper to just expand with a settler instead. Pindicator should ignore this for now and come back with knights later. We like the closure of seeing a weak player eliminated, but it doesn't really seem to work in pindicator's favor here.

[Commodore]

I really appreciate Krill's respect for the players he plays with. I think a lot of folks would write off Whosit in his and novice's position, possibly disastrously. Krill never assumes that people he plays with are dumb/passive/AIs.

It's nice to get rid of the motherland unhappiness and war weariness. Not sure how much that's affecting pindicator at the moment. I agree it would be reasonably costly for pindicator to finish Barry off at the moment... perhaps the order of 100 hammers in sacrificed units with decent luck, 150 hammers without. Depending on the unhappiness he's facing that may or may not be worth the investment.

[Ceiliazul]

When capturing size 1 cities, motherland unhappy isnt such a big deal. Anyway, Pin said hes building swords to finish the job right.
