Turn 92, 725 BC

[Aeson]

Still gives them a shot at an upgrade that would be best not to give them. We'd have a better shot at hurting the Immortal by staying fortified.

Don't give them the satisfaction!

[nbarclay]

You want me to disband Ouch, then?

[Aeson]

How about 4? Gives us a view of that Mountain, probably cuts off where that Spear is headed, and puts us 1 turn from on the road? With a Barracks finishing in Tempest the upgrade is a much better deal too.

[Aeson]

Also, if we move one reg Warrior onto Hurricane's Iron, we uncover the Galley's likely tile it will end on if it continues S.

Where are we moving Sandstorm's Spear? Onto the Mountains E or into Arashi?

[nbarclay]

4 it is. I've also moved a regular warrior from Hurricane onto the iron so he can see the galley better when it approaches. I'm tempted to go ahead and send a regular warrior or two from Hurricane toward Tempest so he can be upgraded closer to the Arashi theater of operations.

[nbarclay]

I'm inclined to leave Sandstorm's spear where he is for the moment. He can get to the mountain by Arashi one turn and be fortified there the next, all before Vox can get there with any immortals.

[Aeson]

How many Warriors do we have in Hurricane (counting the one on the Iron)? 5?

[nbarclay]

Four warriors, four newly upgraded swords, counting the warrior on the iron.

By the way, any answer on my proposed WC positioning?

[nbarclay]

Hack moved four. No nasty surprises on the mountain tile we can now see.

Please confirm, we want to disband Ouch?

[Aeson]

It's fine. It's after next turn that Vox could land next to Monsoon.

Maybe we should send 3 of the Warriors to Arashi, and keep the Vet Swords near Hurricane where they are most important in the next few turns?

[Aeson]

Poor Ouch.

[nbarclay]

Considering Hurricane's relative importance, that's probably a reasonable move. Depending on our priorities, we can upgrade two warriors in Tempest next turn if we want to.

I take it that's confirmation?

[Aeson]

IMO it's the best move.

[Aeson]

And Monsoon's Spear? I think if we leave Arashi with just a WC in it there isn't any real chance they'll head for Monsoon. If Monsoon is wide open and Arashi shows a Spear, it has the best chance to draw them that way instead of straight down the Spinebreaker.
