Assuming Vondrack is correct, is there anything we can do different in the next 50 turns to minimize our liability to Lego?
I know you have a "plan" in your head. Is there something we can tweak in the plan?
Im just thinking out loud here

Heh, the "plan" is pretty much accomplished now. We build our nation and bring ourselves back to respectability on the research front and help Lego with that as much as we can. Anything more than that will depend on what the other teams want to do.Originally posted by conmcb25

We can't match military might (because of production power) with anyone but Roleplay. But at the same time we won't be the primary target of any aggression. At most we'll be the target of a diversion to attract some of Lego's forces to help us. Some of what I did to combat that was build up "goodwill" with the tech trading and stocking up luxury item options to hopefully make the other teams think twice about defaulting on what they owe us. Also our rail lines, and the new settler in case an opponent blows up a rail line are designed for quicker access as well.
Beyond that, all we can do is build up our defensive military. We now have all of our upgrading finished so next on the agenda is to build more artillery. The more we have to take on any invaders, the less Lego will have to deal with those invaders. Naval power helps in that too as we have the pickets and can use our new destroyers and battleships in an offensive and bombardment capability. We'll be building more navy along with the artillery and very soon we should be able to build tanks as well
That's about it. As I said, most of my long-term plan is now complete. If anyone has any other suggestions for the future go ahead and make them.

Well, we could always use more real estate....has any thought been given on discussing an invasion plan on the continent of Bob? I know that we've already tried that in the early stage of the game...but with Lego assisting us in a "coalition" for an invasion..... just thinking aloud here and trying to figure out how to grow our empire...

I just noticed that both Con and myself "think out loud" when we're thinking.

Touche' Rhoth. Yes, for the moment it is... I'm waiting on my partner to come home from work. Of course, my University classes start-up tomorrow morning, so I guess you could call this the "calm before the storm."
PS: Yes, I side-stepped your thinly-veiled insult Rhoth.

- Lego offered the 100 gold.
- New Voice finishes factory. Start infantry.
- Memory finishes destroyer. Starts artillery.
- Destroyer named V.C.S. Beta-By-The-Sea and moves 2-1-1-1
- V.C.S. Fearless and Intrepid move closer to picket duty.
- 1 Lego worker joins Hope and then I realize that the city does not have an aqueduct.
Switch build to an aqueduct. We can rush it in a few turns.

It is duly noted that we've nearly caught up in score with the hated Spanish. Good work, Roth

Danke. It doesn't particularly mean much, but it would be nice to pass them in score before the game is over...especially considering the size of their empire before being ousted from the Bob continent.Originally posted by snoopy369
