Turn 244: 1270 AD

[Aeson]

We should also capture those 3 Workers on the Forest with a Marine.

battle report continued
- marine captures explorer (1st sappers) at Quanto 3
- marine captures explorer (2nd sappers) at Quanto 33


We spot a bit more terrain this time, and another worker at Quanto 33. I think I found the use of those explorers: they were explorer blockers! A straight line, from one city to the next of explorers and workers... cool. Only too bad it now leaves a trail of crumbs to follow until we see the pink city

Update on Pink:



I think P2 just became an even better candidate, as it is on a river.

[Aeson]

We need to know where Yellow is. I say use 1 Movement on the Q3 Captured Explorer to spot it. Quanto 96 would spot B1 too.

[DeepO]

Yep, I agree.

DeepO

[Aeson]

We could also use a Marine for that, or one of the Workers on the Forest after capturing them.

[DeepO]

movement continued
- 1st Sappers moved to Quanto 69.


So Yellow is actually called Nou**amp, and the FP is in Karina.

[DeepO]

the marines idea was a bit too late, I'm afraid. It may have been better...

I'll go and capture the workers with a marine.

DeepO

[Cort Haus]

and Karina is undefended, right?

[DeepO]

battle report continued
- marine captures 3 workers (Ann was one of them, I think) at Quanto 1. They are now slaves in our service

DeepO

[DeepO]

yeah, both cities are undefended.

DeepO

[Aeson]

Well, we still have 2 full movement Explorers left on the rails, and could bring 1 other over if we really want. I say we keep 2 Explorers full movement as pillagers. If we can get to Lego's Rubber with them that would be great.

[DeepO]

I think our first settler position is clear now. From Quanto 8, we can reach Sando and Nou**amp (Nouchamp perhaps?). From that last city, we can reach Karina. If we would go for a settler at any other place, we can't reach Sando.

Hmmm... it doesn't matter, we might even be better of at Quanto 6. We can reach Sando from Nou* as well. And from Quanto 6, we have a better shot at Pink, if that one is near.

DeepO

[DeepO]

I feel sorry for Lego. This is a bit too easy.

DeepO

[Aeson]

I think continue on with the 5/6 Explorer 988. If we spot a city at R3 finish off 88. If not move 9. If we spot a city at R2 finish off 8. If not, finish off 9 to spot R1.
