HAMBURG FALLS TO APOLYTONIAN ADVANCE

[Arnelos]

Posting mid-turn save for SMC E_T to look at.

[=OttomusCeasar=]

What are we doing with the GL?

And please do not say "sit on him and waste all other chances at generating more GLs".

We could rush Universal Sufferage somewhere and have The Forbidden City switch to Palace or something to save the shields its produced.

We will be discussing it and not finishing the turn

Did you guys really hold the chat for more than 9 hours ?

I was only popped in for about 15-30 minutes, but I guess so... Such are war turnchats.

[Shiber]

I don't see why we had to abandon Hamburg. We could have used it as a worker factory and produce slaves out of all the foreign population before abandoning it.

[E_T]

There are several reasons that Hamburg was abandonded:

1) it's close Proximity to Berlin, which has a very high cultural rating, would make flipping it very easy. We would have had to keep a very large force their to try to prevent that.

2) It having Resistors, would increase the chance of it flipping, thereby requiring a larger force to try to prevent that.

3) is would take a while to pair it down for worker factory/starving off, which would tie up the flip prevention force and still have the danger of flipping

4) If the war does last a fair amount of time, the increasing Unhappiness will make it hard to keep it from flipping again.

5) There was nothing of value there to warrent keeping it

Notice a thread of concerns.... Being ours from the start and getting a 1 turn rush of a Temple will help with the flipping issue very nicely. We won't be forced to keep a larger force their.

War Is hell, so they say and I intend to make the Germans realize that.....

Just to let you know, I intend to do the same with Stuttgart, but the new City will be 1 tile further south than it is. I also plan on saving the Settler from Abandonment for Frankfurt. If there is nothing of value to really warrent keeping it, then it goes too.

Because the Senate wishes to save taking Berlin until the end of the War, that Is what this Office will do to take and Keep what is ours, until Berlin Falls.

I honestly still don't understand why we couldn't have garrisoned Hamburg with some of our conscripts (perhaps I should review the save again), but I have always respected your judgement E_T.

[roadcage]

Shiber, I can only assume that you have not bothered to read E_T's reply. It's really simple. It's also one of the ten principals of war.
