550 BC: The Assault On Mash

[binTravkin]

Todo:

- put down the lifted citizen @Beijing to work southern cottage
- move fishing boat towards fish. There's something strange about this fish boat - I calculated it's last turn would be move, then build boats, but it appears it will need one more turn.
- move the missionary into Hong Kong
- move the chuko camped near Tassa towards Banana
- take Mash (I guess the chukos should be used here)
- set research to 100%
- run away with southern scout (it might be in danger) towards north to check where workers went

Expected happenings next turn:
- Mash taken
- GL finished

I hope we're not going to raze Mash?

[PJayTycy]

ah right, to raze or not to raze. Did we finish that discussion already ?

[Kataphraktoi]

We already agreed on keeping the city on skype a while ago

the plan was to keep mash\capitol and raze the southern banana city

[Maniac]

I suggest we don't raze the southern city, but instead keep an army near it so the Bananas can't move to another team than ours. It would suck for Bananas, but I don't think we should just accept the rule that defeated team members can just move everywhere, even though this is clearly not in our advantage.

Hopefully sense will prevail and people will only be allowed to join the conquerer. If we felt like making a point we could lock them down I guess, but think of the turn times!

Well that's an argument to support our view on the matter: to avoid bad things happening to us due to the silly team defeat rule, we have no other choices to stall turn times for everyone.

[Kataphraktoi]

WTF?

I advocate killing the bananas off and abiding by the refugee rules as-decided-by-poll-or-snoopy 150%. There is no way leaving the bananas helps us. We need them gone. we need the space


Lets not screw up our nation on some stupid bitterness about not getting our way

you are grossly overestimating the damage here from refugees

[Maniac]

I'm not bitter. I've just always found the rule that the defeated can go anywhere stupid.

We still have lots of space to settle. It'll be long before we get to settling the area around Banana's southern city.

Well, I hope by then sense will have prevailed.
Making such arbitrary ingame actions just because most people dont agree with us is not a good thing.

In overall it was decided to raze the southern city because it is placed as skillfully as pre-Blake AI did..

[PJayTycy]

Well, there's not yet a decision made. The bananas keep telling they want to join any team, but not the other teams are pretty silent / indifferent about it.

We need good options for the team vote. If the options are :
=> can join anyone
=> compromise1
=> compromise2
=> compromise3
=> compromise4
=> join victors or leave
=> leave

Guess which option will have most votes... We need to combine all those "compromise" votes in one and don't have the "leave" option. That way, the compromise might win.

[binTravkin]

"Can join anyone having contact with" is a pretty summarizing compromise imho

[Kataphraktoi]

Well i am probably being to extreme-ill leave it up to the rest

[binTravkin]

The Vox must be destroyed!

Going out until friday night and having no replacement turnplayer is unforgivable. It seems that JM is an unpleasant person to deal with and instead of encouraging his mates to stay has bullied them away. At least so I can imagine after his silly outbreak in one of the diplomacy sessions..

[Kataphraktoi]

My game or the sav must be screwed up-im not seeing any forests on the map now.

This couldnt be because i am now playing a different(older) patch?
