Year 600 BC has arrived

[fed1943]

Save sent to Nugog and EPW.

I'll try post a screenie.

Current situation is:

a) Copper connected;

b) There is 1 AC axe 2 west from copper and 1 axe and 2 cho-ku-nu

3 west from cooper;

c) Due to road all shall arrive next to copper in 1 turn;

d) We can whip chariots in our 3 cities;

e) Axes (if chariot not whiped) shall take 5 turns in Bananapolis or

Spitville, 4 in Mash.

And AFAIK this is the data.

Thank you.

These are dark times.

Did you rename the units?

[fed1943]

Played the turn.

As I already told, I think the game is lost; nevertheless, I did the

best I could:

All three cities changed production for axemen (hope they can be

whiped next turn); but just 1 whip for city is possible, pop is low.

Warrior in Mash upgraded to axe for 80 gp; science to 0%, to allow

another upgrade in 2 turns.

Warrior in Spitville threats scout who blocks city's best tile.

Free worker left copper tile and begin road toward Bananapolis.

And that's all I saw could be done.

Best regards,

AC's first axe will take 2 turns to get to the copper, and then one to pilage it. So we should get our axes whipped - then if we survive long enough 3 (ish) turns to the chariots.

Our biggest problem is the hill 7 of Mash - when they camp on that - we will have a major problem displacing them.

If/when mash falls - our nation will be split in two.......

[Nugog]

So the plan is to try and whip the axes rather than the chariots - and pray that they will hold out long enough to get the chariots.

If I am allowed to really gamble - then I will fort the axe in Mash and move the other two towards Mash.

We are facing two axes and 2 cho-ku-nu in the first wave of aggression.

I think Fed has upgraded the warrior in Mash to Axe - so we may well end up with two axes in Mash - which may hold them long enough to get the other axes from bananpolis and Splits into the general area.

[Nugog]

If we get our axes in time - and it is a gamble - we may actually hold off this first wave - it really does come down the the random number generator then..........

The whipping however will greatly reduce our efforts in building more troops - a problem AC will not have.

If our diplomats can somehow convince GS and Vox to join us against AC then we may have a slight chance......

While I think it is highly unlikely that they will join us - if our diplomats keep hammering at the wall - you never know what might happen..........

I will endeavour to give you as much time as possible.........

We will have to be very lucky to hold off the cho-ku-nu

The Cho-Ku-Nu

The Unique Unit for the Alpha Centauri dogs.

Abilities:

Strength of 6

2 first strikes

Collateral Damage

+50% vs melee units.

So a strength of 9 vs our axes strength of 5.....

Plus will do collateral damgae against our city stacks.

I trust this has been informative!

We are doomed. Vox has not replied. GS politely said, no thanks. And AC invited us to dance under the sky with them.

Fight fight fight!!!!
