Turn 390AD

[Cort Haus]

More later ...

Meanwhile, if anyonen wants to think about the northern galleys - Deepo had a suggestion in thelast turn thread which might be a starting point for thoughts about that area.


Other thinkies : EotS and Arashi : Knights or not? We could go Uni & Lib.

Otherwise continue with commerce cities for biggies, and galleys & cats (maybe pikes if 8spt) in the others.

[OPD]

Bhah I see lego have built Bachs and have straight away started on Sistine (the one they have the sole rights to)

I think pikes would be better than knights in the cities where both are efficient to build as more pikes can be built and any knights/cavs would be obsolete by the time of amphib assualt.

Do we want Hurricane to do a copernicus prebuild, it would take about 18 turns from this point to have enough sheilds.

Also GoW are now average to us in millitary strengh hmmmn..............

This moves keeps spain hooked up to our resources for an extra turn, but we pillage both plains tiles next go and leap in a boat

Approximate figures

- units needed to block all south of Eliopolis - 69
- units needed to block all north of Eliopolis - 28
- Total - 97
- current unit numbers - 84 (not inc workers)

Assuming we don't loose many more units on bob and are everntually going to get RP to block the tiles in the north, I think we have enough and can start on infrastructure everywhere.

Also of note we are no longer 1st in literacy don't know when that happened but I recall we were first for a long time.

Were going to be needing some Cathedrals soon also.

OPD/Vulture: Two-nil to the Arsenal, two-nil to the Arsenal!! We're in the last sixteen in Europe and can afford Thierry Henry's wages for the rest of the season and me and m'girl (fellow gooner) are so happy!!

[Cort Haus]

I propose, then, to switch the knights at Arashi, Sandstorm and EotS to lib/lib/uni.

sleepy : it's an english football thing. The Euro Champions League is the biggest prize in world club football, and on these isles many of us care passionately about these thing

[Theseus]

Let's move to infrastructure in the big cities.

For the moment, we don;t really need to man the entire southern coast, just the mountains and hills.

I figured that Don't know what it means, but I know what sport. I spent a few weeks in England a few years ago and saw everyone in their soccer jerseys. And I'm vaguely familiar with the Moscow team, however when I lived there 5 years ago everyone loved Spartak, not locomotiv whatever.

we are safe for the time being, I think.

good turn guys, I think we've done all we can to save Spain, time to head home.

We should name an MI "MacArthur" and get a screenie of him entering a galley as Spain smoulders behind him, would be nice for a potential public forum thread.

Bob - move changes

Changes : as we are comitted to abandoning Barca, and as we will be zapping the Barc-Sirocco road and Barc-4, we won't need to snip the original tile at Barc-44. The cats could get further, but we're going anyway, so we save a Knight.

edit : wrong, we have to snip Barc-44. strike this
