Discuss. I'm off to the final Blue Jays game of the season - be back tonight.

Rush a spear in Winestrom to safeguard the city. I'd even consider rushing one now in Taz to deal with the HA if it is moved inside our borders to pillage and cause a general nuisance. Then we could have 2 defenders in both Taz and Winstrom and a spear left over to deal with the HA.

After removing the HA threat, one spear could be left at the road hub for mobile defence and the other move down to help escort the the cats to The Voice.

Thanks, Godel.

Our improvements, workers and cities are under real threat for the first time, and only one response...

And 1 cat to Taz and 1 back towards Winestorm.

If they keep the HA together to go pillaging, we can lead with 1, and if they decide to hit the cities, we may need that extra unit to hold it (even if the odds are bad when we are attacked).

Also, we need the skirm out of EotS to move towards the threat assuming the shot does not hide a threat from the S or W.

First things first.
The smartest thing for Vox to do would probably be to move the chariot 1 and check out the garrison of Wines, they should then attack it, probably.
Another smart move would be to then move the entire stack of units to 4 from where it presently is, such that it threatens both cities. Vox wont actually be able to see into the cities to know which is best to attack (They'll need to sacrifice a move to bring a unit close enough to look), but they could flip a coin or something.

Lets work on the assumption that Vox WILL do one of those two smart things - that is - either suicide rush Wines, or move 4 and suicide rush either city. They ARE Vox, and WILL do something dumb, but lets not take chances.

I believe the smart thing to do is to move the skirm on Hub into Wines. Whip both spears. In Taz, the carryover can go to a skirmisher if need be (meaning if Vox doesn't suicide Wines)

This will result in both cities being defended by 2 skirmishers and a spear, which should be more than enough to keep the 4 Vox units at bay.

**Blake** · October 2, 2007, 01:52

I can't think of anything clearly superior to do with the pult on hub. If Vox are smart, they wont put there units in a place where it can attack them. We COULD put it in wines as extra insurance (it's remotely possibly there 4 units could take down 3 of ours), or we could leave it on hub in case Vox does something dumb with the stack... Putting it in Wines probably isn't a bad idea.

**Godel** · October 2, 2007, 03:47

Ahhh... I missed the fact that there were four Vox units there, not just one.

I go with Blake's suggestion.

Agree with moving the cat back to Wines.

RE Skirm from EotS: From memory we have two units garrisoned there atm. I think its fairly safe to move one out. It will be difficult for Vox to move the stack towards EotS without being counterattacked first. (They recieve no defence bonuses so we won't get a -25% for crosssing river penalty, right??)

I don't think Vox would have a chariot or HA lurking in the fog S or W of EotS.

Does this patch still include the whipping bug? If not, would it be worth investing a hammer in a spear at EotS just in case something unlucky occurs?
