The Quarterdeck - Turn Discussion Thread

Haven't received any messages from M3.

This turn:
1) Workers: road SW
2) Quechuas: axe completes EOT so we don't necessarily need to return the Q's to Barbados. My thought is to move 1 Q 2NE to cover cows, and move the other SW with the workers. M3 moved the warrior near Tortuga 1N this turn and may try interfering with our workers, but if we move 1SW with the workers we could then take the forested hill next turn while protecting the flatland NE of Tortuga.

Still no axe/chariot out of the fog yet

Demogs & Power (another spike from M3)

I don't see any problems with that, at least at first. Unless something weird happens with M3 moving their Warriors in a way that we can't attack out of Barbados with our Axe.

Checking in.

Fellow pirates I will be only checking in sporadically for the next few weeks and will not be able to play any turns. Am moving homes and will not have Internet for a month. Will try and provide as much input via my phone as I can.

HELP!!!!



What is our status?

HELP!!!!

What is our status?

Part of that big jump is most likely a classical tech, as M3 got a 14 point increase 2 turns ago. It could be IW but I think it's more likely to be HBR if they want better units (both worth 10k).

I get the feeling they're going all out on us...

[thestick]

Uh oh.

So were looking at 1 tech and 1 new 'unit? Any way we can tell between horseback riding iron working and them just builinding 2 units? I doubt they'd get iron working, swords vs axes still loses. I with some other team knew where their sec second city is.

Apparently axe is 2t away fro. Tortuga, and road is also 2t, both t51. Any way, I think we should put 6 hamrs into a spear and axe once copper comes online so that we can whip it. We could also chop several nd ring forests if were desperate.

Also given how if the forum goes down we can't communicate we should probably set up a quicktopic or swap emails. Any objections?

[Cornflakes]

I was not aware that the forum was getting updated. A bit of notice would have been nice rather than just loosing access without an explanation, especially since I didn't have anyone else's emails down. Email should be enough, and if something happens again and the site is down for another extended period we can then talk about something else, but at least with emails we won't be sitting alone in the dark. Mine is cornflakes116@gmail.com and it comes through my mobile device too so I'm pretty good at responding.

Unfortunately it does look like M3 is going all out, but why Stonehenge while waiting for tech instead of another settler? Do they have 3 cities yet or still at two?

[thestick]

The forum upgrade wasn't really planned. The administrator had to pull our forum down because it was hacked and was spitting out error logs.

One thing I'm wondering is why they'd tech an Ancient/Classical military tech at all? The best weapon against an Axe is another Axe, or a Chariot rush. Swords lose to Axes, and Horse Archers still lose to Spears, unless it's some forking thing.

Horseback Riding is my guess. Sever the connection between Tortuga and Barbados and sack the helpless city.
