Turn 76, 1000BC

[Krill]

Attack the Voice.

I can't stress that enough.

[Hot Mustard]

I saw that coming.

Here's a close-up with the city contents showing in the bottom-left corner:

[Krill]

HM I can't get into the gmail account, so can you send the save to *deleted* please

nm HM. thanks anyway

[Krill]

God damn server errors. I want the save damnit. HM, you're trying to give me a heart attack aren't you

[Krill]

Got the save off Snoopy...

[Randolph]

Do we really have 3:1 on attacking the voice, or did we already move one of the skirms? The odds of winning strike me as pretty reasonable with three attackers.

[Krill]

Attack With Beckham.
Attack With Zidane.
Check odds. If good:
Attack with Materazzi.

Kill Vox and get the worker, put worker on forest and start chopping next turn. Chop and slave 2 more workers from the Voice, hook up gold then cow then cottage remain fp. Start building a granary in EotS, then pop rush. Bring back the workers to cottage the flood plains.

[Arrian]

Holy crap, they really left only the one archer in the Voice? Hmm, they're gambling. They figure if they lose & die, no biggie 'cause they're dead anyway. If we attack and lose, the balance of power shifts just enough that they might be able to at least do something interesting before death.

...

My gut reaction is the same as Krill's. Attack.

Basically, if the first attack results in a "flawless" win for Vox, I think we have to reconsider at that point. If we injure their archer, then proceed.

If the second attack results in enough damage that our last skirm has decent odds (higher than, say, 33%?), go for it. It's a worthwhile gamble for a killing move.

OMG OMG OMG

/me bounces like a little kid

Time for our football hooligans to practice some thuggery!

[Krill]

I know what you mean Arrian. And if we take the Voice we have to do so much stuff; think of a new tech research order, replan the economy...new worker moves etc.

And We would have to decide what to rename the Worker and The Voice if we took them...*touch wood*

[Arrian]

Settle down, Beavis. Hubris angers the gods. Let us not speak of renaming and replanning. Let us pray to the great RNG for success in battle. If NYE is reading this, may he sacrifice some M&Ms for the cause.

[Krill]

-> RNG God

[Hot Mustard]

I leave this for a couple of hours and there are 9 posts - I wish that happened more often!

Glad you got the save, Krill - let me know if your Gmail access problem does not get resolved.

[Arrian]

Hear us, great RNG! Give our hooligans warriors strength in battle! Unleash your wrath upon the little kids with lolipops dastardly Voxians!

-Arrian

[Arrian]

I would like to hear from Blake, NYE, Dominae... others, generally, before we go ahead and cast the die. Speak up, Stormians! This is a pivotal turn.
