The savegames are perfectly safe

And the game should be back tomorrow I am happy to report.

T185:

Game is finally back up.
As expected we lost four cities, leaving us with three ice cities.
Unexpected, WPC wiped out our pillaging party.

Our defenders at Foal Point took out three cannons before going down.

Here is the land split:



CFC will take Winter Wasteland on T187.
Generla Zhukov and another Rifle are currently being ferried over and there is hope that the galley can evacuate two more units from Winter Wasteland, unless CFC's Trireme shows up.

CFC landed one Knight at Jack Frost. And a Spy maybe?


Knowing our luck with the RNG I dry-whipped a Scout to prevent the city to fall to a one in a million dice roll. With the potential to dry whip another Scout after that we can delay the Knight until the first to refugee Rifles arrive.

With this "strategy" I think we can hold out until T190 at least.
Unfortunately with the loss of our core we will not be able to send that much money to UnivCiv anymore.

The game loads on my laptop, so no pause needed.

Any chance we can put 2 rifles in the galley to go and hope to raze a WPC coastal city before dying ?

T187:

Last battle on the mainland, while defending Winter Wasteland:





Splendid Isolation denies capture by Civplayers by whipping Scouts.

The empty galley will try to extract on (still to be whipped) Spy from Splendid Isolation.
Enemy galleys and triremes are in the area.

Meanwhile CFC has pulled out the sole Knight again near Jack Frost.
We have 5 Rifles on that island, including General Zhukov.

If they land only one galley load at a time, I will try to kill units before they can get reinforced.
That way they will have to invest into new galleys to make sure they ship over an army in one go.

The slider is also set to produce culture, to give Jack Frost one more border pop in 4 turns.

Since there is still some fog left south of our islands, we don't get any trade routes with UnivCiv.

It took losing all our cities except two chunks of ice but we're finally behind wpc in score. Please kill us, no one should have to live like this.

It seems someone has unpaused the game in phase 1 of the turn, and as mh is afk I am not sure if there is anyone here following the Server Announcement thread, so I thought I'd post here. Unless someone has already done so, could someone log in to the game and pause it for your team until mh returns and can play your turn?

[NobleHelium]

You should log in for us and pause the game.

[Old Harry]

But that might bring Cal's impartiality into doubt. I vote we just let the timer run out.

[NobleHelium]

...

That's fucking retarded.

Don't you have the mod installed, NH? I would log in and play the turn myself, if I had the mod. Can't be hard if we're down to just one city and five units. No need to hold up the game.
