Setting up a gamble. Depending on where he goes, and how combat rolls go... i MIGHT be able to squeeze in a copper city. Now, it wont have more than 1-2 defenders, and no workers nearby to chop a spear, and i dont think it connects to any city other than maybe my capital which would 100% be captured in the "ideal" scenario... BUT. .... uh, yeah.

If you settle on the copper, the lake and river will connect it to the capital, and as long as the capital stands it will also connect to Thessalonica. Once your culture disappears from the coast, you need sailing to connect.

Well, that would have been nice.

Well, i figured the odds were better than that. But still. Flawless? popcorn I can only imagine how the lurkers must feel popcorn

So, i have a warrior sitting on top of a settler in a forest. If he goes after the capital and loses a chariot, then he has to decide if he captures the capital or takes the warrior/settler. His other option is to attack the settler/war pair and 95% likely kill them Flawlessly, and then proceed with the capital. OR the more likely scenario, he wins the 1st chariot vs capital easily/barely damaged, then captures the pair regardless.


HOWEVER, if the pair magically survives.... i have a couple options. Hail-mary and settle the copper and use the hammers to try and get an archer built b4 (hahahahahahahaha) reinforcement chariots and shit comes. OR (my favorite option) run it into the wild (probably get captured by barbs) and settle it somewhere/try and find ANYONE else. Maybe i can get Nauf/TBS to allow me to settle near them knowing i have 100% "hate" for Zulu? Lol.


Ah... how things would be different if i had settled the copper city first like i had thought about doing. But, the north city was a better snowball with its river corn + grass gold. Im just going to pat myself on the back and think "yeah, he was scared i would be an actual threat!"

6chariots (one damaged) and a warrior vs 4 warriors, and an archer. HMMMMMMMM. If they somehow live, but it looks like it will be taken the next turn, ill settle the settler. Otherwise if i magically live, and can start pumping archers like i want to.. then ill continue to send my settler on its journey.

Im sure the odds are like 85% or better for him to take the city. Either i get eliminated and cheer for not having to login, or i dont and i get to go on an adventure.
