Turn 100, 570BC

I think this game is 1.14. Does the bug still exist in 1.21, or have they caught it yet?

[alexman]

Yes, it definitely exists in 1.21f.

Quote from Roleplay member (plague rat) on the PtWDG open forum:

Exactly how many troops does GS have? Hmm...
Look forward to opening the save... just to see there are no units left to move around.

Wishful thinking? Oh, I think I'll give an accurate answer to the first question while I'm at it

[Shiber]

It's okay, they must be checking the military advisor too. They know that we have a large army, and they're not getting any positive reports from Vox, at least not publicly.

[nbarclay]

I have the turn open, and as had been indicated, it looks like their only move in our territory was bringing their last two immortals together with the others in the east (if my count for the stack at Arashi 8-8 is correct). We still want to rush a pike in Sandstorm (so we can hold Hurricane 8 and have a high probability of holding Sandstorm 6) and short-rush one in Bolderberg (to get us closer to having spare pikes for an iron raid)?

[Arrian]

Sounds good to me, Nathan. After that, though, can we switch to building more attack troops?

After you do the rushing, I think it's safe to say that there is no objection to going ahead and firing all our cats at their main stack.

Then we can discuss the Eastern Front situation, and galley moves.

Nathan's plan sounds good, and as Arrian says, unless there is an obvious need elsewhere (which it sounds as though there isn't), there is nothing for the catapults to do apart from bombard the stack with bananas.

[Velociryx]

I'm all for that!

Damn, I have to go to class now (my last class as a student, thank jeebus), wish I could be around for this turn, though I'm sure you guys will still be working on it when I get back

Since they are apparently standing pat, could we afford to send a contingent of 3-4 war chariots heading North and West to attack D'ville? Or is that still too premature.

Yes, great plan. You may fire when ready.

Vox is really letting me down, though they are buying themselves more time.

[nbarclay]

I went through the production phase and attacked with the cats. Five out of six hit!



Vox no longer has an immortal with more than three hit points in their main stack, and they'd have to travel a bit to get back home. Now might be an excellent time to open peace talks if we decide that we're willing to risk leaving Vox alive after their last back-stab.

[Shiber]

We could use a 3rd player, or at least someone who can open the save and read out the results while the others are gone.
I would suggest myself, but I seem to have lost my PTW CD...
Edit: x-posted with Nathan.

Excellent news re catapults. The big question (for me) is: will we get the screenshot before I have to go in about 10 minutes (and I'll miss all the fun as always, come in tomorrow morning, and find we've done somthing impressive).

holy cow. We are some lucky mofos so far in this game.
