[SPOILERS] Realms Beyond's Pitboss 29th Spectacular Lurker Thread

[AdrienIer]

Whipped 6 times this turn, for 8 pop. All just regularly-scheduled whips that coincidentally happened on the same turn, but I hope this freaks out all my neighbors...

Six whips from Joey last turn, incl. five 1-pop
Emergency whips would probably include more 2-pop melee whips. So... chariots?
Not again Joey, please not again... I hope we are not heading into PB20 sequel.

Did ToA get buffed somehow? Deciding ToA over crossbows-and-soon-knights-or-samuari...

[Mardoc]

You'd think he doesn't have a neighbor with a thorn-in-side city garrisoned by a whole bunch of melee units.

I feel realy bad for haram is getting atacked on all sides becasue he played good and more then that becasue other people don try to improve htyer situation(atack tsagorn) but go after leader.He will repel this but then even he had a good chanse to win i think joey just sold the game to TBS.

Also:

This needs to be Jowy's profile picture.

[El Grillo]

Is Haram drafting maces such a bad thing? Both GermanJoey and Borsche have commented on it, but don't maces behind walls at least get odds on knights?

Not shock knights, but it's close. Drafting maces is generally a bad thing when trying to go conquer someone, they're not very efficient and ruin your happiness for a while. But in this case, Haram successfully staved off a dogpile with them, I'd say it was a shrewd move.

I guess that's probably the game to TBS. Haram's Revenge Quest will predictably cause GJ to tilt hard, and they'll both drag each other down in a pointless Forever War while TBS eats a succession of weaker civs.


From my inexpert analysis, I'd say that GJ lost the game when he peaced out of his war with Haram a turn before Dreylin jumped in, giving up his best chance to do lasting damage, Haram is about to lose it now by looking for revenge instead of an easier target, and TBS won it by coming to a mutually tolerable stalemate with Jowy, freeing him up to eat Scipio.

[Commodore]

Not grudging to death with Jowy was definitely TBS' best move.

[Commodore]

I guess the other side of TBS' winning path was actually his highly suppressed score via techs vs. Haram and GJ. He got out there and won, as far as city count is concerned, but his score didn't show it.
