You gotta know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run


I rather doubt we will get the 1 in 4 killshot anyway.

Okey dokey, save is here.

Firstly, it looks like the lion didn't attack Spinebreaker:

Secondly, we can no longer see the Vox warrior - he's racing back to the capital no doubt...

Smart Lion I guess. I hope it positions itself to attack the turn after next, or else it may catch Spinebreaker in the open, on the way to the hut.


No sign of Vox Warrior, which pretty much says that they will be completing a Warrior in their capital in time I think.

[Ennet]

Cool, they are really taking risks, it will be a while until they can drive us out then. I wonder what plans they have for their second warrior.. either they've sent it out to scout the lands to their north or they moved 7 and maybe plan to try to harass us?

Maybe we should expect this.

[Ennet]

luckily most of our northeren lands are very open, it should be easy to drive off any warriors they attempt to send there as soon as we get our first skirmishers

[Ennet]

no Vox score increase this turn, they should discover bronze or archery very soon, asuming that is what they've been researching.. ofcourse as someone mentioned earlier its always the possibility they were researching something else earlier and then switched when we declared war..

[DeepO]

Was the warrior named?

Further, for sure they will try to harrass us, and for sure we must prevent this. We can't spend skirms on border patrol, we need everything on the attack. And while our land is open on the North, we will also have some improvements/worker nearby...

Grog's next move should be obvious: 6 onto the forest. And after that probably 3 onto the river forest. Once archers appear we better take a little bit of distance between Grog and the capital, in range of the cow / hill. Or, we should spot a plain forest: we better occupy that one asap.

The reason is that atm we can't block all grass forests (2/1/0), and we can't block the plain cow (1/2/0). We can prevent Vox from getting too much production, though. All we need to do is to block as many 1/2/0 tiles as possible, without exposing ourselves into the open.

Wow, they clearly have not fear of us taking the 1-in-4 shot. Makes me want to take it even more.

They're working a 2-0-1 (grassland on river) tile?? Odd.
