[SPOILER] Kyan's Thread- FfH2:EitBPBEMXXVII

[Ilios]

It seems a bit like I should focus on DaveV instead of Serdoa. DaveV has hit Thoth pretty hard (based on losing a city and power graphs). Serdoa is running a full farmer's gambit though so it would be very easy to walk him over with 10 Firebows.

What do you have in mind?

If you really think Thoth is about to collapse, then I'd agree.


Can you send me another save?

[Ilios]

So I had a look in game, and things are indeed looking dire for Thoth.

Serdoa is confirmed full farmer's gambit, Aristo + Ag + Sanitation. No army to speak of. He's catching up. Does he has Optics for his Worldspell yet?

Points on potential conflict:

- DaveV has Cultists. You have no northern fleet. Be prepared to abandon Dragonstone (unless you're willing to burn your Worldspell)
- DaveV culturally controls the approach to his cities. Which one to hit?
- Chanter seem to have been buffed. I'd go there next. (Poisened is very good in a drawn out conflict as it slows healing)

Micro question:

Why is Oldtown building a Public Bath with Gems and Ale soon coming online?

Also, you need more Workers...

[plako]

Good points Ilios. As said I'm not playing that well or focused so there are some brain farts there. I definately need more workers now that my Happy caps have increased quite a bit.

I think I'll just leave DaveV alone and attack Serdoa. I don't think I can convincingly win DaveV so only thing I would accomplish is that we would both fall behind Ichabod and potentially Serdoa. I don't want to sabotage someone elses good game, if it is not gonna gain me a winning position. I'll see if I can capture Serdoa's land fast and be in strong enough position after that.

Lurker thread updated! I guess you deserve a screenshot.

13 Firebows is current tally. Serdoa doesn't have Optics so I felt safe to park my units besides the lake.

[Ilios]

Nice!

Wow, Thoth is really being torn apart, he's going down faster than I expected.

[plako]

Yeah - too soon. My time to finish Serdoa is probably not enough before DaveV comes and he has double my power (probably lots of summons there). At least I've my world spell to slow him down. Killed quite a few horsemen this turn so most of Serdoa's mobile troops are now out.

[plako]

DaveV decalred also against Ichabod. I could consider firing my world spell to help him out, but I think it will be my only chance to win this later. I really would need a visibility so see, if Ichabod could counter attack in case DaveV doesn't have Spectres available.

Serdoa is collapsing fast. One city in the north alongside with these. Lost also my 1st Firebow when attacking with ~80% odds. Probably not worth attacking with those odds.

[Ilios]

Honestly, I think you should hit DaveV now.

[plako]

I somewhat agree. Unfortunately I need to finish what I've started here. Can't leave Serdoa to hit my back.

You kind of broke his spine here, isn't there anything you can send? What does Serdoa's military graph look like?

If you let DaveV take everyone down one by one, I'm not sure you'll be able to stop him once he comes for you (even with your worldspell).
