Yeah--as I mentioned, Sigrid doesn't seem great here, though Ryota is something we need to plan around.

Quick thought: do we want to divide the starting properties unevenly? My idea is that you could build a wagon this turn and move towards the center properties, while I could get your other bottom middle one. I'm also not sure if it was better to capture the property with my commander or make it so I could capture the barracks next turn--I captured the property (making it so barracks don't give funds is one of Wargroove's interesting changes), but that was mostly since that's what Ryota did.

That's not a bad idea. It does put me in a tight spot though given that it may be difficult to hold those middle properties consistently. Like, it's easy enough to capture a property, but getting it to remain under you control until your next turn is less of a sure thing. But overall yes, I should be investing the most in the middle because it's where I'll get the most value out of my Groove.

I didn't even think about Emeric being better in the center. So to confirm, do you want me to take your other property? Should I shade towards the south with my Soldiers (while using my Cav to help you defend the center and sending my commander north as expected) or try to capture the middle stuff with you?

Yeah, that sounds good, go ahead and take the other property, and I'll keep pushing forward. And I'd say definitely send your Knight to the middle. I'm fine with however you think is best to use your soldiers - we can be fairly reactive there. I think we're going to have an early edge because your Knight should arrive at the center first before any other strong units, and so far they've got only soldiers. I think they're going to react with spears ferried on the wagon, and if so, I may grab an archer next turn and ferry that up to cover the soldiers. Depends on what they do.
Okay--the Treb shouldn't be too hard to out-flank. I never did get an answer to if I can use your wagon, or if Emeric's defensive field affects me.

You know, I'm honestly not sure. I would think yes to both of those based on things that happen in the campaign, but I'm not 100% sure. I was definitely assuming the latter was possible in picking Emeric. I ferried my second soldier forward, so I have two of them ready to go into the middle right away next turn. Here's a picture for you and those lurking:  Due to tiles being the way they are, I can only take one of the forward cities next turn, but the other should be fairly easy. I think we should have a window to deny or retake one of their cities when your knight gets there but before their treb arrives, but we'll see. If not, I think we can hunt down the treb. We'll probably want one of our own before too long. I built an archer on my turn to respond to the spears that I imagine are coming (they built their first this turn). I'll send the wagon back to pick that up next.
I went ahead and took the southernmost village rather than killing gray's soldier because I need the income, and that'll give us control of both the north and south tip villages. That gives us both an income edge over the other two, which is great. The central treb is in a pretty dangerous spot for us right now, so I opted to just stay out of range of it for now. I built a mage in the south to help cover off the flying thing whose name I forget, plus it's another unit capable of capturing cities and handling infantry.
Your knight is going to have a hard time getting value up there I think because they've gone spear spam in the north, and the wall prevents you from getting into the middle. Plus pink has built a knight of his own. If you really push though, pink's leader is a bit vulnerable. Any thoughts on how things are going? I think things are reasonably good, I'm mainly just concerned about the treb. If we can prevent it from getting value, I think we'll be okay.
Yeah, I know it isn't going to do much there, but it probably wasn't going to do much in the middle either. I guess if they continue to spear spam in the north, that means they aren't building as many alchemists to counter my flyer?
I think it's okay--I have a clear advantage in the north, and while you have an advantage in the south, you probably are going to be pushed back by their flyer (and your knight is pretty hurt). What do you think the status of the center is?

I haven't seen any turns since mine yet so this could change once I see it, but I think the center is... somewhat stalemate-y for now? At this point I feel like we're actually stronger around the edges than in the middle. I am fairly close to my groove, so maybe I can slide towards the center, though I don't want to endanger my leader while I'm at it. |
