UN:

ND building in Borcem (size 20, probably FP?)
GoW building in Killdaria (size 17)

Killdaria would be 268g to investigate, 102g to sabatoge production.
Borcem would be 263g to investigate, 126g to sabatoge production.

Anyone know the formula for sabatoge costs? Specifically if the number of shields present in the build changes the cost.

[Aeson]

Lego:

Barb Camp spotted and destroyed. 5/5 Tank.

ND has landed 3 Inf and 3 Settlers. 1 BB guards 1 Transport just offshore.

GoW looks to be starting to clear some Jungle.

The Hive founded 99 of RSE. City 17 9999999 of RSE.

[Aeson]

Naval:

ND Sub spotted underneath NDF Sudstern Frigate off of our W coast.

GoW DD Nemesis spotted 999999 of El Paso. (We need to coordinate our sweep for Lego)

Chain repositioned so no troop crossing this turn.

Possible spy actions:

Cost to investigate Luxilou (ND opposite WW) is 12g. Cost to investigate Candri (ND opposite OG) is 128g.
Cost to investigate Pica (ND opposite Bolderberg) is 124g.

Building Transports and Marines at a good clip means one thing...

We need to start running numbers on how Marines/Bombers do against MI/Fighters.

[Aeson]

Investigate Luxilou for 12g. Building Nuclear Sub. Defended by Infantry.

Investigate Candri for 128g. Building DD. 60spt.

3 DD.
12 Transports.
13 Infantry.

[Aeson]

Switching WW to Civil Defense. Will complete the Subs in Bolderberg and Monsoon (1t each) and then start Civil Defense there too (4t each).

Rebasing the Bombers in OG. Changing build to an Airport (7t) there. OG can bombard far enough out so we could hit a ND fleet as they would need to be exposed for a turn before they can hit us.

[Aeson]

Save closed and sent to ND.

[vmxa1]

They have over 40 transports between them. That is a lot for civs that share the same land mass and only have one civ (us) that is available to invade.

Marines do not fare well at all vs MI. Using the C3C values of 12 A vs 18 D and only giving a fort bonus, the attackers lost every time.
Not sure if ND has HE and I forget their civ so I did not use Mil trait.

I only used sabatoge a few times, so no clue as to cost, but the city size is a factor IIRC.
