PLATO has been added to the conversation.
Ljube says:
while you're enjoying your pork chops
Plato says:
Hi Ljube. How ya been?
Ljube says:
hi, great
Paddy says:
hehe
Ljube says:
had a nice time during the Easter holidays
Paddy says:
ahh the sacred save
do you both have it open
Plato says:
shortly
Ljube says:
shortly
Paddy says:
Paddy says:
peas in a pod
Ljube says:
hahaha, this time the pigs have offered peace thrice
Paddy says:
good for them, they are in for so much pain
Paddy says:
Lost Boys now habe Poly
Ljube says:
hmm, perhaps babs gave them poly for maths?
Plato says:
They did have a deal going with them
Ljube says:
if we don't get math soon, I'm going to start suspecting a betrayal at the hands of babs
Paddy says:
Maths is all sorted
Paddy says:
we get it in 2 -3 turns
Ljube says:
hmm, why not like now?
Paddy says:
all sorted
Blood Cell have it sorted
Bards have aquired it from Pigs
will give to us in 2 - 3
sop as to not show our tech alliance
Ljube says:
aha, good, so the DR have refused to give it?
Ljube says:
interesting
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
but we win
Ljube says:
hehe
Paddy says:
and that is grand
Plato says:
yes...and babs have a tech debt to pay as well
Ljube says:
I wouldn't count on that too much. Beta is a known deal-breaker.
Paddy says:
hehe
Plato says:
if nothing else, it will make good fodder for war justification talki
Plato says:
when the time comes
Ljube says:
hehe
Ljube says:
indeed
Plato says:
Interesting...A DR warrior is now parked on pigiron
Ljube says:
probably to scout for our forces
Paddy says:
ok, intel from DR...
Paddy says:
I have spoken with the Great Desolator Aqua in the last hour...
Ljube says:
Paddy says:
the unit is a scout
Paddy says:
they are happy to watch the war
Paddy says:
I have advised him that it is a war zone, so please keep well clear
we are happy for them to watch, but do not get to close
Ljube says:
hehe
Paddy says:
as we may need to be in the tile their warrior goes to,
then we will need to kill him
not as agression against DR,
but as this be a warzone
Paddy says:
he knows that I would do that...
Paddy says:
I have many times before
Paddy says:
war is hell
Paddy says:
DR are happy to stay out of the way
Plato says:
well parking on resources in a war zone can't be the safest place to be
Paddy says:
good for us
Plato says:
good view though
Plato says:
hehe
Paddy says:
hehe
Plato says:
ormuzd just popped in to say hello.
Plato says:
brb
Paddy says:
ok
Paddy says:
ok, to the save
Ljube says:
ok
Paddy says:
shall we leave the war for a moment while Plato talks to Ortmuzd
Ljube says:
ok
Ljube says:
First, I think Aqua has built up his forces and he is no longer ripe for picking
Paddy says:
hehe
Paddy says:
was always going to happen
Ljube says:
hehe, still he hasn't connected iron
Ljube says:
but his horses seem quite adequate to repel the meagre bard expeditionary corps
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
the bards are in for a hit
Paddy says:
they have gone way to early
Paddy says:
sad
Paddy says:
rude actually
Ljube says:
hehe, with slow one-movers over that open terrain
Paddy says:
yes
Ljube says:
and rude they have dismissed our help
Paddy says:
suicide spears
Paddy says:
oh they are screamoing for it now
Ljube says:
hahaha
Paddy says:
where are you they have asked
Paddy says:
sad
Ljube says:
well, I didn't want them bards too strong anyway
Paddy says:
hehe
Ljube says:
still, I also don't want them destroyed
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
we will be there soon
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
hehe, with our horses
Paddy says:
indeed
Ljube says:
I mean, we can only get there in time if we use horses
Paddy says:
well we have a new horse in Bloodview
Paddy says:
Bongo said 7 of Bohkara
Ljube says:
yeah, but that one is needed for homeland defence at the moment
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
we will be a few turns before anything marches
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
and we have "colin" and the babs "Felix" to our north east...
Ljube says:
yes, we must be careful
Paddy says:
so treachory there could hurt us
Ljube says:
yes, very much so
Ljube says:
I have an interesting idea which you as a chess player will understand. Bongo's plan allows the postal service an escape route. I would like to deny them a retreat path over those hills south of Bokhara.
Paddy says:
.... listening indeed
Ljube says:
I propse we use our two horses to triangulate their chariot into the poition from which we can strike it.
Paddy says:
...
Ljube says:
without fear of them striking us
Paddy says:
listening
Ljube says:
If we move faithfuls 7 from Ta-Tu and the new horse where bongo suggested and one of the workers 7, leaving the other where he stands we may provoke the postal service to move 7 or 7-7 which will seal it's faith
Ljube says:
fate
Paddy says:
looking at map
Paddy says:
listening
Ljube says:
if we want to be sure they don't take the escape route, we can move faithfuls 1-2 and move the other horse to the position 3 from Ta-Tu
Ljube says:
these are two options
Paddy says:
hmmm
Ljube says:
yes, perhaps moving faithfuls 1-2 is the best
Paddy says:
on the mountain
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
the chariot can only move 1 tile in hills right?
Ljube says:
faithfuls will block the escape route and also be in a position to chatch up with our main force and join the yes
Ljube says:
yes
Ljube says:
faithfuls will block the escape route and also be in a position to chatch up with our main force and join the attack on Home or Memphis
Paddy says:
indeed
Ljube says:
and the next horse must go 8 from Bokhara to be able to protect our Ta-Tu.
Paddy says:
from mountain to war 4,1,2,4,2
Ljube says:
from the rage of desperate postal service
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
well done Lt. Colonel, well done indeed
Ljube says:
Ljube says:
thank you, O Great Khan!
Paddy says:
Horde Rox
Blood Oath
Plato says:
back!
Plato says:
was following your plan Lt. Col.
Plato says:
excellent
Ljube says:
then one of the captured workers moves 7 and the other may move 2 as bongo suggested to join our main workforce faster
Paddy says:
Soothsayer, what be your report
Plato says:
ormuzd is fishing
Plato says:
wanting peace terms but not willing to offer a proposal
Ljube says:
the worker moving 7 will in fact scout for postal service's movements
Plato says:
says that Khan said he would send something.
Plato says:
Guess he didn't understand that the message sits on his boarder.hehe
Paddy says:
haha
Ljube says:
he may not have seen the rest of our swords
Paddy says:
did he not mention the troops
Ljube says:
next turn he's gonna be more forthcoming, I suppose
Plato says:
yes...called them "pretty boys"
Ljube says:
hahaha
Paddy says:
5 units
Paddy says:
mad....
Paddy says:
they are mad
Paddy says:
4 more swords in reserve
Paddy says:
HAHAHAHAHA
Plato says:
haha
Paddy says:
Bloodview is Plato's Home team in the Horde Games, so I am thinking that this new Horseman has a name along the lines of "Soothsayers Savages"
Ljube says:
hehe, nice
Paddy says:
ok
Paddy says:
well shall we move our "pretty boys then"
Paddy says:
we have a few of them
Plato says:
haha...love it!
Ljube says:
haha
Plato says:
sent both of you a transcript of ormuzd chat via e-mail
Paddy says:
thanks
Paddy says:
ok starting with Scarface swords - all of stack 1...
to follow the ridge line to home.
Ljube says:
yeah, all 1
Ljube says:
haha
Paddy says:
Bataar 2
Ljube says:
all units move 1
Ljube says:
1 gives a better overview
Paddy says:
Bloodseeker and Long blades 4
Paddy says:
hmmm
Ljube says:
because we'll take 3 mountains
Paddy says:
no consolidation?
Ljube says:
yesh, but we can consolidate next turn
Paddy says:
ok
Ljube says:
it's not like anyone can stop us
Paddy says:
no one can get Bataar
Ljube says:
haha, I foresee a great leader coming
Paddy says:
that would be grand
Plato says:
yes indeed it would
Paddy says:
Becks Beer Boys... would we do well to fortify there... or get out of Dodge?
Ljube says:
well, what do you think?
Plato says:
get out of dodge
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
ok, I am torn
I see them wanting to get back to protect home with everything asap
yet BBBoys is a good target too
Paddy says:
6 or 2?
Plato says:
With the reinforcement they are sending to horseville, he would surely be attacked
Paddy says:
yes well said
Ljube says:
6 I think
Ljube says:
wait
Ljube says:
no, 2
Paddy says:
why?
Ljube says:
we should scout south of babs
Plato says:
I like 2 as well
Paddy says:
haha
Paddy says:
Babs are send us a map lads
Plato says:
gives a little bab insight as well perhaps
Ljube says:
hehe
Ljube says:
really?
Paddy says:
so we will see all soon
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
part of the alliance deal
Paddy says:
the reason we gave them Map Making
Ljube says:
well, in that case 6, scout teh black and then back home
Plato says:
perhaps he can move toward the barb camp?
Paddy says:
would like to promote a sword in that camp
Paddy says:
6 then?
Ljube says:
yes
Plato says:
he need not attack the camp, but could be part of the reserve force for DR campaign
Plato says:
yes. 6
Paddy says:
cool
Ljube says:
OK, the pigs have big cities so they can pop rush. They haven't still, but they may resort to that. If they pop rush in all three cities next turn, and then again two turns later, they are going to have 6 archers or 6 war chariots. Neither is good. I will post about that later.
Paddy says:
indeed
Plato says:
if war chariots then they can have 4 of them in Home for the attack, correct?
Ljube says:
they can't attack us while on mountain
Paddy says:
but can not attack up that mountain
Plato says:
for our attack
Plato says:
as defensive units
Ljube says:
they are poor as defence
Plato says:
yes, but they can get there in time
Ljube says:
they would be better off with spears if tehy want defence
Plato says:
spears could not reach their in time could they?
Plato says:
yes...wait...I think they could
Ljube says:
hmm, depends, our main force is not fully formed
Plato says:
so we are waiting 2 turns to form up before entering pigland?
Ljube says:
That decision will come later. It will depend on teh intel provided by bards through the embassy.
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
we have multiple options
Plato says:
alas, my time has come...off to work. Thank you both!
Plato says:
bye for now
Ljube says:
and thank you
Paddy says:
be well matey
PLATO has left the conversation.

Paddy says:
what were you going to say?
Ljube says:
I'm not so sure any more we will be able to get the pigs so easily. The main mistake we made was allowing them to connect horse. If nothing, we'll raze Home to prevent recapture if we can't defend it with sufficient force.
Ljube says:
that alone will be a significant blow pigs shouldn't be able to recover from - ever
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
so we need to get more units into the area then?
Ljube says:
it seems so
Paddy says:
ok, we can deal with that
Ljube says:
ok, shall we now get to the horses or have you moved them already?
Paddy says:
KBH will have a Horse in 3 turns
Bloodview can pop rush another Horse in 5 turns
We can also get the Bloodletter swords moving
Paddy says:
not moved yet
Paddy says:
and Bohkara can pop rush a horse in 4
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
and wioth Home taken / destroyed they wil indeed be hurt
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
so we could have 5 horses either there or inbound in 5 turns
Ljube says:
that's good
Paddy says:
I have been driving around the city this evening wondering what a horse army would be like for us
Paddy says:
ok, so to your move
Ljube says:
Paddy says:
Soothsayers Savages?
Ljube says:
soothsayers savages move to 8 from bokhara
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
they can't be sen by porker war chariot there
Paddy says:
that is grand
Ljube says:
faithfuls move 1-2 to that mountain south of bokhara
Ljube says:
they cut the retreat path for postal service
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
Ljube says:
one captured worker moves 2, teh otehr moves 7
Paddy says:
done
Ljube says:
the one that moves 7 is actually scout
Ljube says:
Ljube says:
now Bob, teh worker.
Ljube says:
what do you think, irrigate or road?
Paddy says:
I moved one 7
Paddy says:
the other 2?
Paddy says:
bait?
Ljube says:
yes
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
well done
Ljube says:
now, what about bob?
Ljube says:
road or irrigate?
Paddy says:
irrigate
Ljube says:
ok
Ljube says:
KBH should be on growth one more turn
Ljube says:
before switching it to shields
Paddy says:
the difference?
Ljube says:
7+7+8+8=30
Paddy says:
balance indeed
Ljube says:
hehe
Ljube says:
I learned that one from rob
Ljube says:
I never did take too much care about that before
Paddy says:
well done
Ljube says:
Ljube says:
did rob say anything else, anything new?
Paddy says:
no
Ljube says:
that's nice, now on to our bloodletter
Paddy says:
indeed
Ljube says:
we should get it moving asap, but if we move it now bloodview will be empty and luxury will need to be increased
Ljube says:
still, there is no time to lose
Paddy says:
wanderers? 2 turns away
Ljube says:
we should also move wanderers toward bloodview because a spear is expected in FA soon
Ljube says:
yes
Ljube says:
that will leave FA and bloodview empty, but only for one turn
Paddy says:
a one of cost of 5 gold on the lux slider... balances that
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
cheap for the benefits
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
done
Paddy says:
so where do we take Bloodletter?
through Bohkara or FA
Ljube says:
hmm, what do you suggest?
Ljube says:
perhaps through FA?
Paddy says:
FA indeed
Ljube says:
Paddy says:
so they do not see him coming
Ljube says:
I can't wait for our KBH to start producing 10 shields a turn while still groing.
Paddy says:
Paddy says:
smack down - and hard
Ljube says:
We should start to think about settlers now. We need more cities.
Paddy says:
do tell
Ljube says:
well, I would like to see smaller and less productive sities like Ta-Tu build a settler. However rob does not agree
Paddy says:
quick settler pops
Ljube says:
we should discuss this issue because it seems we don't view the cities in teh same way
Ljube says:
rob considers the long term and i'm more focused on teh pressing issues
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
we are on a war footing, not a builder footing
Ljube says:
yes it seems like that
Ljube says:
so, I will post about that in rob's inreior ministry therad and tell him about my troubles
Paddy says:
ahh in the cities thread plaase
Ljube says:
ah, ok
Paddy says:
and email him asking him to reply there
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
thanks
Ljube says:
Paddy says:
Horde Long Eyes - Scout?
Paddy says:
up the volcanoe
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
excellent
Ljube says:
and banshees?
Paddy says:
2,4
Paddy says:
no armies in there
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
that is good
Paddy says:
was a concern I must say
Ljube says:
look, aqua has a vet spear and a vet horse there
Paddy says:
LB and DR could have marched on us
Ljube says:
who knows what more
Paddy says:
yes indeed
Ljube says:
I don't expect LB to march on us. They have the empty space to fill and conflicts to avoid while they grow.
Ljube says:
also, their land seems poor on shields
Paddy says:
had to make sure
Paddy says:
do not need that kind of surprise in the coming 4 - 5 turns
Ljube says:
hahaha, indeed
Ljube says:
our scouts can stay liek this, with our banshees just moving toward the DR border to see if they have moved their horse or connected iron
Ljube says:
moving toward the border and back
Ljube says:
back and forth
Paddy says:
the goal was to use them as lookouts
Ljube says:
yes, so they are
Ljube says:
Our military advisor just said something like: "We're rocking Genghis Khan baby!"
Paddy says:
hehe
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
The Moreporkian people are disdainful of our culture.
Paddy says:
HAHAHA.
Paddy says:
Good for them
Paddy says:
hope they do not mind getting suddenly drafted to war
Ljube says:
hahaha
Paddy says:
doing up the pics
do you mind if I post this chat?
Ljube says:
not at all
Ljube says:
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
lux must be at 30% unfortunately.
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
done
Ljube says:
+14 dollars?
Paddy says:
yes, was at 10 %
Paddy says:
13 actaully due to change in FA
Ljube says:
what chage?
Ljube says:
change?
Paddy says:
for the spear
Paddy says:
from irrigate to hill
Ljube says:
ah yes
Ljube says:
indeed
Ljube says:
well, never mind
Paddy says:
?
Ljube says:
it's all good
Paddy says:
Ljube says:
we get a spear next turn
Paddy says:
it will be back next turn
Paddy says:
Paddy says:
and we only have regs left to upgrade at this stage
Ljube says:
I have an idea, do we need that spear at all or can we switch to archer?
Paddy says:
and they are garrison forces at the moment
Paddy says:
do tell....
Ljube says:
well, my oppinion is that spears aren't much of a defence anyway
Paddy says:
yes
Ljube says:
I prefer active defence with archers
Paddy says:
a reg swords is batter for me
Paddy says:
ahh
Ljube says:
for me also
Ljube says:
I mean, spear seems rather useless unless we are planning to take a mountain somewhere and keep it with taht spear
Paddy says:
yes
Ljube says:
so, shal we make it an archer? or wait 4 more turns and make it a sword?
Paddy says:
dilemma
Paddy says:
or back to barracks?
Ljube says:
barracks indeed
Paddy says:
was taken off barracks to be a settler pump
Ljube says:
or, chage to settler
Ljube says:
change to settler
Ljube says:
then you can return to work that irrigated flood plains
Paddy says:
if we do that we move the wforce back
Paddy says:
haha indeed
Ljube says:
hehe, seems like the best plan
Ljube says:
we have little use of regulars
Paddy says:
indeed
Paddy says:
and a settler is best served at the moment I think
Ljube says:
yes, agreed
Paddy says:
hmmm
Paddy says:
I have to check some notes from a chat with Rob a few weeks ago.
Ljube says:
ok
Paddy says:
FA Pop 2, Growth in 4, settler in7...
Paddy says:
hmmm can not find it...
Ljube says:
then, let's have that settler
Paddy says:
ok.
