The Quarterdeck - Turn Discussion Thread

[thestick]

I don't trust my diplo skills, just...
"Hey TEAM, want to invade Gillette? We'll fund you with weapons if you attack the runaway."

Could come off as us being afraid of being invaded. I don't know, just asking TEAM if they'd like help in a war we don't even know they're getting in sounds like a bad idea.

Sent this off to Tasunke:

TEAM/Tasunke,
We are wondering what your stance is on the seemingly inevitable Gillette-Troll Dogpile war.

-The Pirates

[thestick]

We are making 285 BPT at 75%. Time to convert that GNP to Crop and MFG through Settlers. Our Settler in San Juan completed:



To settle the new city:


(How about Ghar al Milh?)

Netting us Crabs and Fish, which is significant because we don't have Fish and we could use the Health. I queued up another Settler:



In other news, Barbados is coming along nicely:



(You know, we should probably cottage over those farms )

[thestick]

We have received a reply from TEAM:

both sides seem quite large. I don't really feel like getting involved at this time.

and you?

Best to let the matter drop?

We would be happy to see the Trolls get dogpiled, but it's hard to get involved in a war where we don't border either party.

[Cornflakes]

We asked mostly out of curiosity, since we border neither party we are really too far away to be of any value (and impossible to integrate any gains with our current empire). But a stack of knights blitzing down from the opposite side as Gillette may well claim a couple cities if they were timed to arrive 4-5 turns after the war outbreak (when the defenses have been withdrawn to reinforce the Gillette front).

[thestick]

Doubting it's a good idea to encourage TEAM to invade when they've stated that they don't want war.

[thestick]

Apologies if it feels like I'm not listening to you... that's not true.

The storm clouds broke and Gillette and Trolls are now at war. Though Trolls have an impressive power spike...

[Cornflakes]

No worries ... I'll just keep throwing out ideas. Remember, I'm new to this so I'm not at all offended when my marginal suggestions aren't followed

I logged in this afternoon ... ... that is one huge spike in power. Looks like Gillette won't be making a ton of progress that direction

Civstats records the tale of whipping and drafting.

Hey, I'm not that good either. This is my first Pitboss.
