The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

DAMN... I crashed again, just having written up much of the first post on this thread. I've re-played up to where I was, and will now re-write some of my thoughts.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I'm gonna go mess around in the other fora for a while... please provide comments so I can play the turn (AAAAAND, close down PTW and play my FIRST C3C game. Yippee!!). I'll keep an eye on PMs too.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

Nice one, SROriginally posted by Sir Ralph
I'd build a galley in Sufa, it has a Harbor and we need ships, lots of them and pronto.
We should shuffle laborers in order not to waste that much shields:
- From hill Tempest-11 to desert Tempest-14
- From Olibanim-99 to Olibanum-6
- From Whirlwind-36 to Whirlwind-33, finishing the next galley in 1 turn instead of 2

The North seems fairly obvious: move 8 with the land forces, but keep at least some of the ships nearby.
If we make peace, then I'm sure we can take our forces off in stages. Therefore, if we have 8 galleys up there, I'd say we can keep about 3 in the area, and move the rest southward. I don't want to cripple our transport capabilities just *in case* we reach a settlement.
In the south, the big question is whether or not we gamble and hit the Alamo. At this point, I'm leaning toward saying "what the hell, why not?" even though the logical part of me (the part that says get out of this war) says that it's stupid to hit an elite rider on a hill behind walls, fortified.
I just don't know. If we don't hit the Alamo, what DO we do?
Blah.

Good talking to you, Theseus!
T and I had a little chat (of the telephonic variety), and I think we're in agreement on most things.
I'm logging off for the night.

Actually, getting on the phone with Arrian and hashing things out was very beneficial.
We came to some very simple conclusions that dictate all else:
1) The best thing would be a negotiated deal with GoW to backstab ND.
2) If that is not going to happen, we are best off pulling back from Bob. The problem with this is that we definitively need more land, and will thus need to go adventuring again in the future... WITHOUT saltpeter, and thus no Cavs. The best we two have come up with is an overwhelming number of Knights. Doable, although difficult.
I've had my third crash for the day... I am going to go ahead with the turn under the plans generally laid out thus far, and send it out. The one new plan coming from our phone call is the disposition of our southern Bob Knights: The primary stack will stay fortified, and the secondary stack of 8 will advance to Alamo8 as part of our 'stick' in the negotiations with GoW.
Unfortunately, this looks like a weekend of computer maintenance / reinstallations as opposed to C3C.

[Decision to consolidate unit movement reporting just in case of another crash]
Northern first wave sent 8.
10 slowmovers loaded onto northern Galley fleet, Galleys sent to YK3332, re-assembling other Galleys there as well.
8 Knights at Pamp6 move to Alamo8. Subject to enemy Cats, yes, but part of the negotiation posturing with GoW. BTW, the ND forces at Alamo87 are 1 Musket, 3 Pikes, and 1 AW. We now have 20 Knights directly threatening Alamo, and 12 threatening YK... should be interesting.
3 Galleys carrying 6 Knights move from OG77 to Sirocco6. Knights unloaded into Sirocco.
Cat in Sirocco sent to NM7... further destination TBD.
Various Worker moves... some heading way south for chops.
New idea, and I am just going for it: Given our cash constraints, I have sent 3 WCs from OG towards the east coast... joining the 3 from Beta, that makes 6, putting us a good way towards an eastern screen.
Given the above, we may want to consider production other than Galleys on our west coast.

Jesu christo...
1:17 am... and I STILL haven't played any Conquests yet!!!
The new kitty, Kali, thinks that is CRAZY.
On a serious note: It IS 1:17 am, and I, at least, have had no response via PM from GoW... that's on purpose, I am sure (fer Chrissake's, MZ is on line, uh, 22 hours a day?
).
We should stonewall them back... we have 32 Knights threatening them... no more communiques until they peep back at us.
And, before I go to bed, let me express my emotions for the day, as I have been restraining myself:
F*CK ALL OF'EM!!
Lego? Are they f*cking kidding? "Their interests"? What, to see the rest of the world waste time? Hey, I think they are playing as Machiavelli remarkably well, but WE see it, and we'll do something about it.
GoW: OUR mistake... they WANT to be a junior partner with a special role.
ND: I respect the HECK out of what they've been accomplishing. But now they need to be dismantled. Re-phrase that: Destroyed. Demolished. Eradicated. Gone.
What's your old line, Arrian? "Break things..."
I am p*ssed off. It's time to take the reins of this game.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

F*ck!!
I think I did not:
* Do anything about Fort Lib... I think I left the MedInf standing there alone.
* I did not execute SR's instructions re workforce tweaks... hopefully that can be done in the next production phase.
Sorry (again) guys. Not huge, but everything counts.

Damn. Fort Lib is a pretty big deal... if ND/GoW capitalize on it.
