Lewwyn is on the List - SPOILER THREAD

[Lewwyn]

So I said I saw the power dip:



Not promising for SD. He gonna die. And I really am not in position to stop NoGas, I just hope SD pulls back sacrifices his border cities and then counters on phracts and creates a bit of a standstill. But I don't have a lot of faith that's going to happen. I need to take cities to keep up.

GNP is higher than when I was in a GA:



Sort of makes me want to keep teching, but NoGas is forcing my hand, I need to whip down.



Good news is I have lots of pop.



I got Guilds this turn with 1 wealth build. Still need a few turns to get the knights out and then into position. I shoudl be able to get construction in 2(?) turns. Engy in 4-5?



Looks like this. I took back the culture tiles by Bob. I'm thinking I might use a couple cats there instead of just charging in with knights. 4 holkans fortified behind walls is annoying for knights only.

Soldier76 is building NE... But maybe I should be whipping knights out of there first before NE. You never know how important an extra 1-2 knights is going to be at this point.

I really want to blitz Bob and get at least as far south as his capital.

This game is really interesting. My position is good and it's giving me a lot of options. Serdoa has attacked SD. SD is going to get run over between NoGas and SD. Should I join in on SD? Should I attack BoB who has the lowest power but is just sitting there teching? Should I surprise Rusten who is also teching? I could do any of these things pretty easily.



Bob has added another Holkan to his border city with me. I get 68% odds on his holkans with Shock knights out of the fog. I could do it, but I might lose a few knights. But the surprise would be worth it too. I think I need at least 10 knights to do it though. EOT I have 9, but they need to move.

I get Engy in 5t I think. Does that change my calculus? I'm not sure yet.

Do I snipe some of SD's cities, the island, the furs? I think I could get 3 cities off SD. But doing so lowers my war effectiveness against Bob.

Demos:



Rusten's tech is spiking.


I'm all kinds of uncertain which way to go.

Why do all the holkans have woodsman 1?

[Charriu]

Holkans get Woodsman 1 in CtH

[Lewwyn]

I don't know I don't feel that great about everything. SD throwing his army and then just getting rolled makes me real worried about NoGas. At least Serdoa has a ton of unit it looks like. Hopefully Serdoa can take more cities off SD than NoGas and can keep NoGas in check.

Rusten is in a GA and stacking units on my border in police state. BOO

[Lewwyn]

I think 1 game at a time for me again.

That's why you log out of one before you log into the other silly 

[Lewwyn]

I think I might not be able to attack. Bob used all his money to upgrade all his holkans into pikes and he has a castle. SO attacking his main is stupid with my knight only stack. I dunno. I'm feeling depressed. I officially signed my divorce papers a week and a half ago and I've been vacillating between happy and sad and my ex doesn't move out for another week. And my uni is on break so I'm not doing anything of substance right now getting trapped in an emotional death spiral at home by myself.


I don't know what I'm doing. My civ is shambles.

That sucks, Lewwyn. I'm sorry to hear that's going on right now. I know my game always feels worse when I don't have a set plan too. I hope your RL troubles get better and that you can find a plan for your civ.

Yeah man I don't know, I should feel fine. Like I've wanted to get divorced for the last two years. Some days I'm okay, some days I'm just not. I don't mean to conflate it with the civ game but its stressing me out.
