Turn 101, 550 BC

[vulture]

Looks like a nice job on this turn from everyone. Anyone else think that Vox's use of the immortals south of Arashi is slightly reminiscent of the way the AI behaves? That stack is doomed no matter what now, barring truly outrageous RNG behaviour. I do like the position we are in.

As I said before, I'd like to get the save in one way or another (getting it from Nathan or becoming listed as the 3rd player).
Please use barak underscore twelve (in numerals) at bezeqint dot net. Thank you.

Good decision on taking on A9, despite our loses. we are now in a position of strength around Arashi, and Vox has plenty to worry about- their stack is pinned down behind enemy lines, i'm sure they are quite worried now, but not desperate yet- psychologicaly this may be the point where Vox is the weakest, the point when they obviously see they face a determined enemy, their offense is efficiently broken but they do not face a real threat to their existance.
I expect we'll hear from the Voxian Incognito pretty soon...

Nathan please add me to the save mail list, same address as as the pics (zeitan@)

Oh, and I think it's time we plan some counter offensive, on the Iron perhaps- having only 3 spearmen and 2 Immortals leaves some opening for us- especially when they have to cover so much ground- a landing force of 4 or 6 pikes+Meds could easily take control on one of the mountain tiles, and could some damage. that would take long to repair. We must also put an end to Vox's present around hurricane- Perhaps shifting our Cats there in the next few turns is possible?

We may need the cats in the area of Arashi for a little longer, if the Voxian stack decides to just stay there. Afterwards we'll need the cats for our offensive upon Dissidentville (if we're going to follow the plan to exploit Vox's mountain road), but I'd be in favor of getting rid of the stack around Hurricane/Sandstorm first - just by staying put, it attracts so many of our units, and IMHO we have to take care of it before we take the war to Vox's turf.

Hmmm... but they're fortified on a mountain- any attack with Meds will probably end up in us losing more than they lose, which is at that point all Vox would have left to hurt us with, will need the Cats to get easy kills.

Like Shiber said, i also we need those units out before we take a shot at D'ville. It's just a waste of too much units that could protect the assault force right flank (the left one will be the ocean, of course ). If we move with that force first (since it has alonger route), by the time we're threatening/taking over D'ville, we're also keeping a close guard on Voxian reinforcements from the NW.
