[SPOILERS] - Dubious strategies and poor life choices: pindicator's thread

[Jabah]

Thanks for all these updates, really appreciate
keep doing a good job defending

[hzhp800]

I agree with Jabah, I was hoping for something like this and you did not disappoint. Good luck defending!

actually the most interesting report in the last month i like it

[pindicator]

Technically it's the only report in the last month

Games and Recreation finished at end of turn, and now we're 12 turns away from Defensive Tactics. Oh yeah, look at that economy hum.

I did switch some policies around:




Going to try and build some more archers, maybe get a settler or two in, but probably not.

Suboptimal made a run for it with his horse:




And swords appear from the north. He probably pushes in soon.

Wealth will fall again




I'm trying to kill as many of the melee as possible - not because I think I can save Wealth, but because I think I'm going to need to if I'm going to hold a line south of there again.

Got to make Suboptimal earn this one. Crossbows in 4 turns. Building archers next.

Nice, to be honest, I am surprised at how well you have defended considering where you started the war.

[pindicator]

It's unfortunate that Wealth of Nations is in such an indefensible location. But with a second city before making contact you aren't thinking about defenses, you're looking at best yields, and those gems were too nice to pass up.

Turn 90

How is this city still standing?




I've also forgotten about Victor this entire time. He's been over in Res Publica. I shifted him over this turn but it would have helped if I had done so 5 turns back. Hopefully it wasn't too late.

It might seem strange, but I consider this a win




Suboptimal picks a rushing leader and what has he gotten for all his hammer investment so far?

Nothing.

I queued up a pair of settlers. Gambling that he's going to take a mental break here and I'll have time to get 2 more cities out, because I only have 3 cities to my name.
