In-game Diplomacy
Hopefully we'll have worked out trades with Banana and/or AC to conduct/complete this turn.

I don't really see a need to attack the archers. They aren't doing any harm there. The meta-odds are marginally on our side, we'll have ~50% chance to win, almost 100% chance to win with 2, meaning it costs us on average ~17.5h to kill a 25h archer, that's good, but against a bombarded and battered Voice we have over 90%+ odds to win...
And we can just walk over the flats, where Vox have ~10% chance to win on offense against our 5str units. We don't need the hills as long as we have numeric superiority.

The archers aren't actually doing anything except costing Vox upkeep and looking unsightly.

Riight. So just wait for the stack of 4 then march to The Voice I guess.

Yes we have given them enough breaks, now no slack.

Thanks for the tech screenies, HM!

Holy crap about AC building the Oracle & Pyramids. That's like the Holy Grail of wonderbuilding. Impressive.

Nice to have both room to grow and a weak neighbor, eh?

Vox has pulled their Archers back, making a stack of 3 due east.

Nothing big this turn...I will wait for a little while tonight to see if anyone has a preference on SpineBreaker's movement (3, 6, or 9), before playing and passing it on.

In other news, AC is getting quite disturbing - this turn they completed the Colossus - that makes 3 wonders!!

[Arrian]

Holy ****! Sigh.
