[Spoilers!]---Superdeath hopes for a better Pitboss.

Stopped building wealth in literally every city, and now im only doing so in two cities. Break even is roughly 50%-60%, and im pushing out all sorts of buildings that i should have had built...... 50 turns ago. Im not in the running, but im going to do my best to avoid death in this game. Still waiting for a general concession to JR4 for a very well done game. Although i think TGLH was mostly to blame for his early lead, he played a very good game. He took the lions share of the good cities Charriu left behind, he got all of the astro islands, and is currently the tech leader.

Wetbandit- Had a great shot at winning, but really needed to do Something with that massive Cuir stack. Although i would have whipped and fought hard.. he should have ran into my cities, and he could have made it to my Heroic epic city before i could stop him. Currently holds Naval parity with JR4 which keeps a decent amount of boating potential locked up for both.

Dark Savant/Hitru- Attacked Charriu with some success. Got attacked and turned Ipecac into running away. He is currently the "2nd" place civ imo. If anyone attacks me, i can see Hitru grabbing all of my coastal cities on the north/west coast.

Ipecac- Played a fairly amazing game up until he failed to finish Yuri off, had a standoff with Wetbandit, then ran into a likely brilliant defense from Dark Savant/Hitru. I forced him to retreat units instead of defend cities which gained me a fair bit of land.

Charriu- Got ate. First games tend to suck for people like me and him. ( although he lasted much longer than i, i think ) 

Yuri- Cant say too much, despite having pro/india, expanded fairly poorly. Decided to kill my scout, and i could have crippled him even farther by razing his city. The focus of much of my planning till he got attacked by Wetbandit/Ipecac. I feel sorry for his position as it is shit luck to be in the middle of Zulu, Mongols, and Egypt.

Plan of action is to finish the 2-3 buildings that i require in almost every city, then either turn research back on full tilt to Tanks. ( i can get there in 20 turns from now counting All the techs i still need ) Or turtle up and wait for the game to be called. If any lurkers are still looking at this PB/thread, Reply either Heads or Tails and ill make my decision based on those votes.

Well time to reveal my super secret plot.

Been trying to get Ipecac to slam into JR4's stack, but since he isnt doing that, ive been railroading thru Ipecac's territory to hit JR4's decent stack in the border city he has with Ipecac. Ill be slamming into it with 50+ cannons, and 15+ cats. plus about 35-40 rifles. Not great.. but with that much collateral i should wreck it.

My doom stack-

Currently 3 turns or less away from slamming everything i have into JR4's stack, throwing a wrench into EVERYONE's plans i bet. I have no hope currently of winning, so why not go out with a bang? Especially because someone decided to plant on "my" island tongue.

How long until the attack now?

Well, it should happen once wetbandit ends the turn + JR4 plays,.. but that could be days from now. ( i think the railroad will be done ) Ill be hitting 40+ defenders with more than that in cannons, plus some rifles. I have every city finishing its infrastructure then building MG's. This is my only chance to hit JR4 before he could hit me by water or from the Ex-Mali borders. Im doomed this game anyway, but i want to make it exciting!

Also slight mechanics question that i cant test right now.. Does upgrading a unit use up all the movement for the turn and are there any tricks of the trade for that?

Upgrades use up the rest of your movement points, I think you need to have some moves left, but it can be a fraction of a point.
