Turn 136, 150 AD

[Shiber]

I can play this turn, but I need very specific instructions because I've only been reading about half the discussions lately (very busy in RL).

* General Info
- 785 gold, +188 (at start of turn)

* Military
- Barb conscript galley at Sirocco-99. With the GW and Chieftain it's hardly a risk, so let's attack and hope for a promotion!

* Economy
-

* Diplomacy
- ND offers a peace treaty.

* Additional info
-

[Shiber]

What should I do about ND's peace offer?
They haven't sent any diplomatic notes along with it so I should just reject it, right?

[Shiber]

Barb conscript galley at Sirocco-99. Nothing else sighted.

[Velociryx]

What are they offering? If they give back all of Spain's cities, make a peace with them as well, and acknowledge our right to land on Bob...sure, take 'em up on it....

Shiber, if you're not following that well (which is perfectly allowed, of course. everyone has RL stuff going on), maybe best to let nye play it if he wants to.

Oh, and I really liked the break down of movements in last turn thread. I know it is a lot of work to do, but it pays off... I would have moved the group at B8 closer to Valencia, but that's just me.

Other things: set up a perimeter around Toledo, at least some scouts with pikes. And go after that barb camp if we can! (Toledo: see beginnings thread for a possibility)

ass to the peace offer from ND: we had that a couple of turns with GoW. no way are we going to accept a peace on those terms: most likely they have a lot more WW to worry about then we have, and are simply trying to get their people happy again. Remember, both ND and GoW declared war on us and on RP, if they could lose a couple of cities, they would nearly revolt (also because they don't have a lot of lux)

ass to the peace offer from ND

What, ND is offering us a piece of ass? Sweet!

I want NYE to have a look at the plans I drew up in the other thread, and then look at the (much less detailed) planning for possibly cutting our iron.

The iron-cutting operation, IMO, may be viable, but needs more thoughtful planning than has yet been done. I could work on it a bit tomorrow, I suppose, but I don't think we could make a decision in time for this turn. However, I don't think that's a major problem.

[Shiber]

I don't have a problem if NYE takes this turn, if he can. It's a good idea, since he's been more involved lately than I was.

[zeit]

In those cities that finish their production this turn (if there are) or are not going to waste shields- we should have them build the optimal unit, according to NYE and Arrian's suggestion in the build priorities thread. This might also mean we'll need to mess around with the tile allocation- whoever plays the turn will need some time to handle that as well.

[Arrian]

I think the only tile allocation that is important is Hurricane. And that doesn't happen until the following turn, I think.

[zeit]

Why wasn't the sav passed to me? Can you do it Shiber?

It'll certainly help with the planning...

Thanks

I can be on line to play it in about 2 hours. I will have some catching up to do though.

re the peace offers. Apparently there was a glitch and both ND and GoW received offers from us last turn. I know I did not send them, but I was checking their tech and resource situation.

Begin the turn by clearing table, and I will have to remember to clear tables after I poke around, or better yet, poke around right at the beginning of the turn and then reload.

[notyoueither]

Does anybody have the turn?

I don't.

[Harovan]

Turn sent to nye by email.

[notyoueither]

Thank you, Sir Ralph.

OK. Let's get it on.

Can have 5 p and 5 mi sailing south to V. Problem is galleys rendevous at Siroco 2 this turn. Puts them 2 turns from landing around V. That is faster than any overland route for that force, and leaves 5 p and up to 8 k plus cats to defend Barca.
