Germans to re-occupy Munich site

[GodKing]

It is confirmed. The Germans are sending a settler through our territory toward the former site of Munch, which our glorious armies razed in our brief border conflict.

France is sending a settler to the area near Timeline. We should not allow this to occur. We have a settler waiting in Rouge, I suggest we beat the frogs to the punch, as that is what the settler was built for.

I see the settler originally built to prevent the Germans from this is now on Uber Isle. What happened to change the plans? We risk war if we tell the Germans to take a hike (they are very pissed off at us) and we have no way of stopping them other than war. I am upset at this turn of events. How did we let it happen? Why did the plans for this settler change? We needed him to secure this area as the dye is too tempting to prevent any other civ from settling there. With the dye and the close proximity to Berlin, it will be very difficult to prevent a culture flip of Nap.

So, do we risk war now? Or do we let them get the spot and hope that Nap remains loyal while attempting to flip this New Munich? Any other ideas? I was leaning toward building Sun Tzu there to help culturally protect it, but now I will place it in Uberville instead.

This is very serious. How did we fail and how can we keep it from occuring in the future?

There is no danger Godking, with the immennient expansion of our nearby cities and also geofront after temple(i hope it is rushed soon). The area will be too small. Remember when borders are just seprated by one the game tends to merge, that leaves very few squares. As far as putting Sun Tsu in Napolitan it is a good thing you didn't, that city is too close to our enemies. Uber is the best choice and that is where I would have urged it regardless. So relax its ok.

Eh, the Germans are still going to settle there in the mean time. Loveshack's borders won't expand for another 39 turns, Napoleton in 25 and Geofront in 13 + 10 (account for building temple), so 23. It will take the Germans at most 7 - 9 turns to settle that empty spot near Loveshack, then we still have to wait for a culture flip as well. Even though it is in our favor, we still will have to wait for it to happen and who knows when that could be. In the meantime, we can cut the Germans off from dyes by axing the road we just created North of Napoleton? Eh. I think we should still build a settler somewhere and try to settle that spot if possible.

[Aggie]

But seeberg,gaia,uber will eliminate a large chunk AND i suspect we will rush temple very soon in geofront, thus long before they get there there will be nothing but a few squares to settle, in fact settleing there is a waste of a settler for us.

I think it would be very fitting to put Sun Tzu in Uber. Our culture will eat up any German city. Not a problem.

I'd rather have it in Geofront.

There’s a lot of “species” (copyrights to Panag ) invading our Empire. You can see a large map here . The map is big, and you will have to scroll.
Here is a thumbnail:

If the German Settler is that much of a problem could we not divert a unit of some kind to shadow the settler so that it cant enter the unclaimed space?

[Harovan]

I haven't kept track for a while, due to a vacation trip. I think the situation is serious, and we should block out the settler shuttle by all means. If possible, peacefully, by building a mobile wall of units. Do we have some units, preferrably horsemen nearby? If not, all others will do (except WCs), including workers. In the meantime, we should close the gap with our own settler ASAP. To leave luxuries in unsettled terrain attracts settler shuttles like moths to the light.

[notyoueither]

It looks as if 6 units would completely preclude any settlement. Only 3 would be required to make the Germans do the futile shuffle.

[Shiber]

IMHO we have to settle the site before the Germans do to completely block off their options. The only way to get there before the Germans do is to switch production in Geofront to settler, rush it and send it ASAP. I believe this would take 4 turns.
IMHO Loveshack is not an option. We'll be there too late.

[GhengisFarb™]

Switch BHQ to a settler and rush it for 72 gold before ending the turn. Then send it to one tile north of where Munich was. We'll be there in 4 turns.

[GhengisFarb™]

We also have to fill that gap between Port Rouge and Timeline exactly two tiles east of Rheims. We have to wait one turn to start because our settler has once again gone on strike and REFUSES to move. (ARRGH!, That's the second one that's done this!)

[Harovan]

Good points, Shiber and GhengisFarb.

[Panag]

fill that gap !

and we should have a couple spare settlers in reserve from now on , ....

have a nice day
