Survival planning

[Eli]

But can we PLEASE discuss the details here.

When the agreement is finalized between me and Shiber, we'll both offer it to our teams and everyone will vote of course.

[Eli]

Beta, et al :

How long do you think the evacuation will take?

I managed to get 18 turns out of Shiber and a GS promise that if we ask, their great players(you know, the all star team) will help us with the planning in order to get the evacuation done quickly and efficiently. GS estimates that we will need ~15 turns, but i'm still trying to get at least 20, just in case.

This is the most difficult point, so I want to know whether to keep arguing over those extra two turns or give up in exchange for something else.

[Beta]

I will need to take a look at it. 2 turns will not matter much. And besides - if we are within two turns of up-rooting our last city - I am not sure GS will be that draconian.

But I do want to see the save when we get it - and see if it as bad as they are saying. And verify that GoW has landed.

Important:

When Lego gifts us a city on Lego Minor, we will be able to gift them all our current and produced workers. This will make the evacuation a lot faster.

Will they be industrious when we get them back.

[Wittlich]

They will still be industrious because the workers remain as Persians.

RE: Eli's Evac. Plan - Give me a while, I'm still sizing it up...though I can say right now that I don't like it.

[Eli]

It's impossible to like such plan... But I'm afraid we have no future on Estonia so we might as well evacuate peacefully as much as we can.

[Beta]

Ok - the save is here. GoW has landed. Inchon has the Elite Pikeman there - and yes - they have Elipolis. There are two Med Inf reduced to one HP each. Dam. We can't catch a break at all. It would have been nice if Elipolis stood. In addition to being good - they have been lucky as well.

Ok - the bad news is they unloaded galleys in Inhoff - and moved up the road killing our pike and two Immortals there. So - yes it is looking bleak.

And RP, the bozos, now have their galley trapped down against the coast.

(I guess I shouldn't say anything after my screw up a couple turns ago.)

So - Eli. I will be meek and humble and make any public apologies you require of me. I await your directions.

(But Sir Ralph is really pissing me off and trying my patience.)

[Dis]

do we have any screenshots?

I take it we still can't post any here. I really don't know exactly what the situation is.

I hate giving them all those cities. I'd rather make them earn them.

hey the great dissidentville is in our hands, we can't be doing too bad

[Eli]

Important:

While GS discusses the proposal, I managed to get us a one turn long cease fire.

This is not 100% certain yet, more like 90%, I'll have complete GS response in one hour and i'll post the result them.

The cease fire means that in the turn we currently hold and in the turn that GS will play after us :

1) ALL military units and vessels will do nothing.
2) Workers near the frontlines will do nothing.

The player will simply press the spacebar.

This ensures that if the proposal fails the battles will resume exactly from the current point.

Again, this is 90% certain, I'll give a definite answer a bit later.

-------------

I got Vondrack from Lego to hold their turn as much as possible too.

[Eli]

It takes GS more than I thought it would.

Beta :

You should get a PM from someone in GS telling you if the cease fire is in place or not. If you get no PM... I have no idea what to do.
