1355 AD Orders - X-Day minus 1

[Master Zen]

3 more nukes this turn, last turn we built 3 but did not use them becaue the only target we could hit was Dissidentville and that's the target we DON'T want to hit yet.

Bad news, war weariness has finally reared its ugly head and all of our cities which were on WLTKD are not anymore. Still, no need to use the slider yet since only 2 cities could potentially riot (Trafalgar and Dreadnaughtica). I will be checking the F1 screen constantly to keep everything in order.

Finally, here's Histograph pixel-count data from last turn:

DAMN THAT CULTURE RATING!!!!

[Master Zen]

don't worry, if GS and Lego are eventually wiped out, we'll be #1

[UnOrthOdOx]

We have culture?

[Master Zen]

in-game yes. out-game no

[Master Zen]

btw, Togas is being a whiny b*tch in the Game Discussion thread. Feel free to troll...

Well, I guess I DID build that temple out of the whalebones...

Invasion plans

GS has disbanded Dissidentville, our planned invasion city. We need an alternative landing site. I have made this map with the possible sites. All sites north of the yellow line are those we can land in 1360 AD (X-Day). All sites south can only be hit the turn after.

Personally I don't want this invasion to be postponed but I think the site NW-NW-NW of Tempest is the best as it allows us to hit Arashi the turn after. Note that GS is doing a full scorched earth policy which means it is highly unlikely the invasion will be a speedy business.

Also note that it will be impossible to take a city on the invasion turn. We'll have to land in the open, fortunately the terrain and lack of roads/RRs means that GS cannot counterattack.

I am open to suggestions, in the meantime the save is postponed

[Hot_Enamel]

What is the plan ?

We could just build a city at that site.
Transport nukes in and just keep bombing ?

I dont have the save to really look at the map...but I am happy to go with your plan.
It will also mean they will have to cut all of their lux.

Is ND landing any troops ?




Does GS have any plan at all ?
Space ship win ?

[Donegeal]

Yeah, can we bomb the RR tile just W of Arashi then build a City on one of the three tiles along the coast? Nuke the crap out of them from there; to hell with a large invasion.

We HAD a plan which was to land at Dissidentville. However, if we land there 1) we'll be in a tile which offers no defensive bonuses and 2) we'd be at the mercy of a GS 45 tank + 55 M.I. counterattack. Not pretty.

The tile I suggested will leave us able to hit Arashi, and has defensive bonus (it's a hill), plus, since there's no transport means that GS can't attack it.

And yes, ND is planning to land once they clear the southern seas of the GS navy (a tough call)

[Donegeal]

Actually, if we bomb the RR like I said, GS counterstrike wouldn't be able to hit any of the three tiles I indicated (unless they are able to build a road in one turn with that lone worker on the tile Arashi. What is that tile anyway? A hill or a grass?

[Hot_Enamel]

They have theri uranium hooked up again.

Do workers die when hit by nukes ?

2 workers on the uranium & 1 on the tile to the left.
They can hook up their uranium after each turn we bomb it.

[Donegeal]

Yes, workers die when nuked. All zero HP units die when nuked (except other nukes).
