[SPOILERS] A threesome becomes a twosome

[DaveV]

This turn's screenie:



The Malakim have got themselves a gorilla. Can the Grand Menagerie be far behind?

In other news, team Reddit built Barnaxus.

[NobleHelium]

Team Reddit built Barnaxus? Surely you jest?

No, I was confused, not trying to be funny. I meant Bambur.

Spotted this:


Obviovusly pillaged the farm above the rice. You seem to have Combat I warrior in a city that can take a mobility promotion. Probably worth it to try to hit it.

I've also settler ready for your city near the centre. Please send also defenders there.

I have a settler from the capital already on the way, and there should be a couple freaks/swordsmen with him for escort.

More thoughts on the wolf rider situation:

I agree that we have to attack him. It sends entirely the wrong message to let them pillage us with impunity.

They may well have other units in position to kill our warrior if we kill the wolf rider. Can you send one of the Priests up to the area? There's nothing like disposable summons to turn the tide in a war of attrition. I'll send up at least one of my Light swordsmen. I think we have to be careful not to be lured out of position by what may be a feint preceding a planned attack elsewhere.

[DaveV]

I attacked the wolf rider at 73% odds, and got one hit on him. Really sad combat result.



My settler is on the way to "Next city", will arrive in two more turns:



I didn't end turn, since it will mean a bunch of adept foodhammers if the other teams finish off Sanitation before my cities do their production phase. Go ahead and end my turn after you play, plako.

[DaveV]

I'm planning on spamming out puppets to cast Inspiration in all cities. Do you want sage GPP in your capital? The pool is already polluted by your wonders.

[plako]

All GPP is welcome in my capital.

btw. I think you should grow your smallest cities a little before starting adepts in them.

Agreed. My plan is to build Research after we grab Writing, since that will let me grow for exactly the number of turns I need (and because some of my cities currently have zero production ).

Edit after checking in-game: or Elder Councils are probably a better idea, assuming the game is going to last at least 10 more turns.

The wolf rider can attack either of two Mud Golems this turn, and I forgot to move my Light swordsman up to the north when I replayed the turn. My other Light swordsman is still diseased - would you mind having Anagantios cast Cure Disease on him?

All GPP is welcome in my capital.

National Epic next?
