Pamplona:

Barracks were rushed, IIRC. Set queue to build Medieval Infantry next courtesy of Señor Dejon It'll take 4 turns unlessed rushed.

If Senor WhiteBandit approves of it, the workers that have been working near Pamplona should go ahead and mine Gold Mountain first. I had originally wanted to mine another mountain first but have since realized that this is a better option. We will continue to push growth until GM is mined in about 9 turns because forcing more shields will not get military units out any faster. By then, Pamplona should be nearing size 8 and will have gotten over the hump of the granary being completely emptied at size 7; at that time we can look into changing another WF to mountain tile to get 14 shields a turn.

Getting Pamplona to 14spt is the magic number. It makes it possible to to build Medieval Inf. in 3 turns and Knights in 5

I'm thinking that Vigo should build walls in case the enemy charges through Santiago...

I'm moving the eastern Bashing stack to the hills SW of Bilbao. From there they can defend either Bilbao or Toledo, and are hidden (I believe) from view by the mtns.

In the event that and ND attack appears imminent, we may move the western Smashing stack to the forest game tile or the jungle tile to its NW. This is an agressive move though, and must be left be the last moment.

Should they break through we would strongly consider walls in this city. It is my belief that they will target Vigo as a part of whatever assault that is planned. Vigo is the source of our empire's Iron. They will want to deny us of this vital resource.

However, right now we need military units and fast. All cities need to contribute towards building military units so that we can meet the enemy on the turn they invade.

Results

As Dejon pointed out, 10 GoW Riders are near Mavdad. The final hour is drawing near. We will soon see if we are the target, or if ND is.

There are 2 ND ships SW of Arneblanca, 2 Pikes and 2 Med Inf on the shores waiting to be picked up. ND west coast invasion group spotted.

Ivory Offered to ND.

GoW is still working on GL

Mil Strengths remain the same.

NOTE: From now on F8 shots will display the POWER ratings, not scores

Valencia build Med Inf next turn, we then need to ADJUST WF to make it 3spt.

Vigo grows next turn, will be in WLTKD, and should adjust production to max sheilds.
