We offer Babylonia Literature un-accepted
We await there completion of Monarchy, they advise 4 turns
which we will gift to A-M either straight away of very quickly there after.

DR are trading Currency with A-M, A-M will give to us in a few turns... I would like to give to Bards that turn

DR still wants construction - which Bards working on at the moment, need to get a update on time frame

The Bards will have construction completed in 9

-------------------------------------------------

Let it be known throughout the lands....

The Horde has begun its first National Wonder Program - Statue of Stone.

The Horde is under Red Guard operational security

Their is to be NO, I repeat NO talk of this project anywhere out side of The Horde Private Forum, and such comms between Horde members.

Let the building and shield storing begin.

For the purpose of building Statue of Zeus we change the way we measure time. We consider turn 1990 BC as Turn 1 of our wonder building.

Turn 2: KBH has 9 shields. Change production in KBH to granary. Change production in FA to worker. Change production in Bokhara to worker. Change production in Bloodview to settler. Bob and Harry move 2-3. George moves 4. Citizens of KBH rearranged so KBH produces 10 shields per turn with one food surplus.

Turn 3: KBH has 19 shields. Worker built in FA (named FA worker). FA worker moves 8-8-8. Bob and Harry move 6-6. George moves 4-1-4. Two slave workers start road on grass 3 from KBH.

Turn 4: KBH has 29 shields. Change production in Bokhara to spearman. FA worker builds road. Road is completed instantly. Both slave workers and FA worker cannot move. Bob and Harry move 6 and start mine. George moves 8 and starts mine. Mildred moves 4-8-8. Citizens of KBH rearranged so KBH produces 11 shields per turn with no food surplus.

Turn 5: KBH has 39 shields. Mildred moves 8-7 and is added to KBH. FA Worker moves 7-7-7. Both slave workers move 7 and are returned to AM. Bob, Harry and George cannot move. Citizens of KBH are rearranged so KBH produces 13 shields per turn with no food surplus. Citizens of Bokhara are rearranged so Bokhara uses ivory.

Turn 6: KBH has 52 shields. FA Worker starts mine. George and Harry move 7 and are added to KBH. KBH is size 8 and produces 16 shields per turn with no surplus of food (rearrange citizens of KBH and Bokhara so KBH uses ivory and Bokhara uses hill or plains). Production in KBH changed to library to try to maintain the illusion for at least one more turn. Bob moves 7-7-4. His goal is to start road on wheat 8-8 from Ta-Tu so the new dye city will be connected.

Turn 7: KBH has 68 shields. Production in KBH changed to Pyramids.

Turn 8: KBH has 84 shields. We are getting closer... and no word has been mentioned of our wonder building at this time.

Turn 9: KBH has 100 shields.

Turn 10: KBH has 116 shields.

Turn 11: KBH has 132 shields. Mine completed on grass 7-7 from KBH at the end of turn 11. KBH now produces 17 shields per turn.

Turn 12: KBH has 149 shields.

Turn 13: KBH has 166 shields. Production in KBH changed to Statue of Zeus. time to scare them a bit
Word of this matter has been quietly leaked to McMeadows of the Bards.

this turn:
Turn 14: KBH has 183 shields.
Change production to clearly show Statue of Zues


Turn 15: Statue of Zeus completed in KBH.
Vovan to release a full page splash on this wonder to the world.

Ljube says:
good morning paddy
Paddy says:
hello Ljube
Ljube says:
hey paddy,. the save is with the bards now
Ljube says:
mac just signed in
Paddy says:
yep
Ljube says:
perhaps we can discuss our next moves with them
Paddy says:
Mac is no the turn player at the moment\
Ljube says:
what's bongo's contact?
Paddy says:
yes indeed
Paddy says:
Bongo is in bed
Ljube says:
yeah, but for the future
Ljube says:
I like bongo very much
Paddy says:
will get it
Paddy says:
McMeadows says:
Rhot will play in 2-3 hours

Ljube says:
hmm, I hope it's 2
Ljube says:
I may not stay up that long
Paddy says:
more likely 4
Paddy says:
Bongo:
Ljube says:
bongo added!
Paddy says:
cool
Ljube says:
now about the save with bards, what did McM say about Yul Brynner?
Ljube says:
Has Yul Brynner moved to strike?
Paddy says:
hello again
Paddy says:
they are moving a sword from U2
Ljube says:
yeah
Paddy says:
and yes you were sooooo correct yul moved up
Ljube says:
8-8?
Ljube says:
up the hill?
Ljube says:
where are they moving sword from U2?
Ljube says:
where to?
Paddy says:
I weill confirm position of Yul
Ljube says:
U2 was empty so they must have built a sword this turn
Paddy says:
Sword from U2 goes into Metallica
Ljube says:
that would be ok if Yul is not within the striking distance
Ljube says:
if yes, then that could potentially be fatal
Paddy says:
he is
Ljube says:
he is where?
Ljube says:
within the striking distance?
Paddy says:
McMeadows says:
he moved yul 8 from Metallica

confused, I am
Paddy says:
waiting on clarification
Ljube says:
ok
Ljube says:
perhaps I can join that conversation?
Paddy says:
he is brushing his teeth for work
Ljube says:
work?
Ljube says:
McM? Isn't he Dutch?
Paddy says:
or sleep
Ljube says:
hehe
Paddy says:
sorry, I just woke up
Ljube says:
sleep more probably
Ljube says:

Paddy says:
need a swim
Paddy says:
hehehe
Ljube says:
I'll play darkened while I wait for this clarification.
Paddy says:
thanks
Paddy says:
McMeadows says:
matey... I'm going to sleep for a few hours... it's 1:30
You plenty of pending work with C3CDG coming up
McMeadows says:
I'll talk to you later
Paddy says:
I asked again, but no reply
Paddy says:
The way I read it is the Yul is at 2 of Metallica
Ljube says:
OK, then they absolutely need to give us that city for at least a turn
Ljube says:
so we can kill Yul Brynner and bring peace to the bard lands
Paddy says:
can I add Plato here

PLATO has been added to the conversation.

Paddy says:
hello
PLATO says:
hello
Paddy says:
this is good
PLATO says:
Can you catch me up?
Paddy says:
not sure where Ljube is
Paddy says:
yep
Paddy says:
DR horse Yul is outside Bards town metallica
PLATO says:

Paddy says:
ready to strike
Paddy says:
Bards are moving a sword in that due to movement can only defend
Paddy says:
We have offered a counter plan
PLATO says:
any response from bards on Ljube's plan?
Paddy says:
you got that email right?
Paddy says:
they would prefer to defend it themselves
PLATO says:
yes. good plan
Paddy says:
they would loose the build and any temple etc
PLATO says:
understandable, but s it wise?
PLATO says:
1 sword?
Paddy says:
thus we need to either accept it, as it is there town, or we need to really work on a better way of proposing the whole idea again, or we need to add for more facts etc

Paddy says:
yes they have 1 swords inbound from U2
Paddy says:
and they are building something there in next 1 or 3 turns
Paddy says:
McMeadows seems to be asleep - was talking with him
Paddy says:
now Ljube is gone too
Paddy says:
McMeadows says:
U2 delivered the swordsman, so we can't strike
McMeadows says:
and our workers are blocking the road for you

PLATO says:
well, 1 sword can probably hold it against a horse, but I would rather they not take the chance. How long before we can arrive to dispatch the horse?
PLATO says:
his workers blocking the road!?! They must have a death wish.
Paddy says:
they have the roads blocked a bit, so operationally we are a bit hands tied
Paddy says:
Paddy says:
but you can defend
McMeadows says:
we are safe
Paddy says:
RGO were freaking out that we lost Metallica

PLATO says:
indeed. They need a better war planning staff
Paddy says:
McMeadows says:
o worries... we're not all that opportunistic... We discussed the importance of timing before... turn 56 I said... it all fitted well in the planning
Paddy says:
indeed

PLATO says:
RGO is top notch for sure!
Paddy says:
I like how they say stuff, do it, then ask why we were not there
instead of waiting for components to arrive etc

they always seem to leave no leeway in their plans
Paddy says:
Plenty there for Ljube to read when he returns
PLATO says:
I think that is the case. They have a tunnell vision to their own plan
Ljube says:
Ljube finished playing darkened and is reading the conversation
Paddy says:
possibly
Ljube says:
trying to catch up
Paddy says:
hehe
PLATO says:
Hi Ljube!
Ljube says:
Hi
Ljube says:
OK, read the stuff
Ljube says:
The bards are crazy
Paddy says:
yes
Ljube says:
But what a good parent does to a mad child?
PLATO says:
hehe, indeed
Ljube says:
He does not allow that child to hurt himself
Paddy says:
but we knew that from their initial attacks on DR by themselves
Ljube says:
The Horde is like a good parent to crazy bard child
Paddy says:
hehe
Ljube says:
so we must try to convince them that there is no alternative to our plan
PLATO says:
Well, is there no alternative?
Ljube says:
indeed, no alternative
Ljube says:
the developments depended solely on the movements of Yul Brynner
Ljube says:
so were out of our hands and the bard hands
PLATO says:
Yul is two turns away, correct?
Ljube says:
Yul is now on hill 2 from empty Metallica, ready to strike
Ljube says:
He can at his choosing strike Metallica or capture and kill bard workers
PLATO says:
then it must be now for the bards to decide.
Ljube says:
both things are bad for bards
Ljube says:
yes, indeed it is now
Ljube says:
and the reason for my staying awake
PLATO says:
Is 1600 the last save we have?
Ljube says:
yes
Ljube says:
Yul Brynner moved 8-8
PLATO says:
well, I wonder what their thinking was? This doesn't make any sense for them to do this
Ljube says:
do what?
Paddy says:
they hope to defend their own town I think
PLATO says:
leave Mettalica that vulnerable
Ljube says:
well, metallica was left for us to guard it
PLATO says:
and then block the road?
Ljube says:
yeah, stupid
Paddy says:
my error
Ljube says:
indeed, to certain extent
Paddy says:
I should have moved stormhoof closer, just did not want to sacrifice him
PLATO says:
hmmm...how's that?
Ljube says:
but, what;s done is done
Paddy says:
I used Stormhoof as a scout in 1625
Ljube says:
regardless of what we should have done and what they should have done we should now discuss what must be done now
Paddy says:
ok
Ljube says:
Another lesson you learn playing chess
Paddy says:
so DR must see Faithfuls now
Ljube says:
snoopy is online
Paddy says:
ok
Paddy says:
will see if he has time
Paddy says:
have invited you both in on chat with snoopy
Ljube says:
yeah
Ljube says:
I'm tehre
Paddy says:
lets be nice, and keep grievances to this chat here
Ljube says:
yeah
Ljube says:
I mean if they lose Metallica because they rejected our help when we could have clearly saved the city, it's their loss.
Paddy says:
this is good timing
Paddy says:
yes indeed
Paddy says:
thank you for staying up Ljube
Ljube says:

Ljube says:
I just have a boring workshop tomorrow which I will sleep through anyway
Ljube says:
Started to work for another project
Ljube says:
but short term
Paddy says:
hehehe
PLATO says:
hehe
Paddy says:
so to I am glad to see you here too Plato

good to have the Horde gathering at a time like this
PLATO says:
Glad to be here. This is indeed an interesting time
Ljube says:
yes, the key moment
Paddy says:
must kill aqua....
PLATO says:
must kill aqua...
Ljube says:
we the horde are ready to take the risk and bear the burden of bard defence solely on our shoulders
Paddy says:
yes
PLATO says:
Does snoop know of the plan we sent them?
Ljube says:
I'm just asking him
Paddy says:
yes
Ljube says:
Soon we'll know more about it
Ljube says:
when snoopy loads the save
Ljube says:
he probably doesn't know where Yul Brynner is
Paddy says:
ouch
Ljube says:
I fear that snoopy and his bunch will fail to appreciate the danger they are facing.
Paddy says:
Aqua is on the ohoine
he has a mesage for us:

Paddy says:
phone
Ljube says:

PLATO says:
haha...can't wait
Paddy says:
"Stay the hell out of our land, and we will stay out of yours!" - from the Desolator - not his council
Ljube says:
hahahaha
PLATO says:
hahahahahaha
Paddy says:
ok may be time to slow down on Snoop
Ljube says:
ok
Ljube says:
you think I'm telling him too much?
Ljube says:
more or less giving him old news
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
Ok, Aqua wants that Iron city cut off asap
Paddy says:
quite simple, he wants to cut that, and then pick them off
Ljube says:
he wants to make peace with us and join forces against bards?
Paddy says:
ok, we leave snoop alone folks
Paddy says:
chill dudes
Paddy says:
he does not handle this all that well once his back is up3
Ljube says:
ah yes
Paddy says:
just say thank you
Ljube says:
ok
Paddy says:
tx
Paddy says:
ljube
Paddy says:
stop that matey
Ljube says:

Paddy says:
why the last comment?
PLATO says:
hehe...Ljube...you are a mad man! hehe
Ljube says:
pride may be preventing them from doing what is necessary
Paddy says:
yes it is
Paddy says:
ok, lets all stop the chat with snoop
Ljube says:
haha, snoopy has checked foreign
Ljube says:
yeah
PLATO says:
pride or not, they must come to that decision themselves. we cannot force them into it
Ljube says:
absolutely
Paddy says:
well that chat will do the rounds of the Bards in the next 30 mins
Ljube says:
Pride is the greatest of all sins.
Ljube says:
A terrible flaw in character
Ljube says:
preventing you from taking the right choices
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
sad but true
Paddy says:
and if they loose Metallica now, well not a lot we can do
PLATO says:
It's like having the bloody French for an allie sometimes!
Ljube says:
hahaha
Ljube says:

Paddy says:
Aqua would like an alliance....
tells me that if we were to move into the heart of bardlands, we just might find no troops
so from that I take it Aqua can see the stack of doom now...
Ljube says:
you know, next to stupidity, pride is the second best thing you want your enemy to have
Paddy says:
well a interesting time we are at
PLATO says:
aqua really doesn't have a clue about our alliance does he?
Ljube says:
he probably does, but trying to make us break the treaty
Ljube says:
so he can organise a world wide alliance against us
Paddy says:
yes
PLATO says:
haha...if the babs keep their word then he will be shocked indeed
Paddy says:
he is sure we are up to sdomething
thinks we are leading a world wide alliance against him
Ljube says:
hahaha
PLATO says:
well....we are
Paddy says:
wow, here comes the save I believe
Ljube says:
really?
PLATO says:
cool!
Paddy says:
Rhoth just posted
Ljube says:
uh, oh
Paddy says:
usually a few minutes after he posts
Paddy says:
1575bc to Blood Oath Horde and admins

Ljube says:
can't wait to see how they handled Yul, but judging from the speed of play, not well I'm afraid
Paddy says:
indeed
Ljube says:
Pride has once more intervened.

PLATO has left the conversation.

Ljube says:
Plato is so distressed he quit the conversation.
Paddy says:
hehe
Paddy says:
he will return
Paddy says:
probably a connection issue
Ljube says:
I'm afraid this will be the end of Metallica
Ljube says:
Perhaps it's for the best
Ljube says:
The bards would have become too strong after the demise of the DR
Paddy says:
perhaps...
Ljube says:
The loss of Metallica will bring them down a peg or two
Ljube says:

Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
and lift them if they kill Yul
Paddy says:
win win for us either way
Ljube says:
yes, though I'm sorry for them, naturally, them being our allies
Paddy says:
what did you make of the whole "swords to anitoch" thing from snoop
Ljube says:
he thinks we should attack antioch with our swords
Ljube says:
I believe we agreed our forces would defend their land
Paddy says:
Aqua just txt'd me: "Mate play the save, you're up!"
Ljube says:
OK, let's just do it
Ljube says:

Paddy says:
Plato is locked out of here, moving to another chat ok.
Ljube says:
Ok
PLATO says:
Can you invite me back in?
Paddy says:
trying

Ljube has been added to the conversation.

Paddy says:
lets go from here
Ljube says:
Wow, aqua's moving his immortals back to antioch
PLATO says:
sorry 'bout that. comp issues tonight
Paddy says:
have either of you got the save yet?
Ljube says:
I loaded teh save
PLATO says:

Ljube says:

Ljube says:

Ljube says:

Paddy says:

Ljube says:
OK, Black lightning moves to Bokhara
Ljube says:

Ljube says:
miss watcher, wanderers, faithfuls and hot lips
Ljube says:
we don't want to disrupt their communications
Paddy says:
indeed... puzzling
Ljube says:
Perhaps the best place to form is 8 from Metallica or 8-9 from metallica
Ljube says:
all units head there
Ljube says:
choose
Ljube says:
8 from metallica or 8-9 from metallica
Ljube says:
8-9 from metallica appears more flexible

Ljube says:
OK, so move those four units there
Paddy says:
done
Ljube says:
now we come to bataar, grim death and bloodletter
Paddy says:

Ljube says:
shall we occupy furnace with Grim death for the moment?
Ljube says:
or shall we divert bataar and bloodletter
Ljube says:
?
Ljube says:
if we move grim death in, shall we move our bloodletter and bataar independently toward teh DR over those volcanoes?
Paddy says:
ok, I would like bataar and bloodletter to wander down to the LB city.... just an idea
Ljube says:
ah, ok
Paddy says:

Ljube says:

Ljube says:
well, just an obituary for Metallica
Paddy says:
hahaha
Paddy says:
not yet
Paddy says:
maybe soon
PLATO says:
hehe
Ljube says:
hehe
Ljube says:
and you know what, when they indeed lose metallica they are not going to admit they made a mistake rejecting our offer to save them
Paddy says:
well hers hoping they survive
Ljube says:
poor chess players they be
Paddy says:
well we will attack it
Ljube says:
in chess the most important thing is to see you made a mistake and move on
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
ok, I will send the save then
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
sent
Ljube says:

PLATO says:

Ljube says:
The bards seem to be functioning on the bases of strict ditatorship for a fixed number of turns
Paddy says:
beta is posting on poly, and maybe Klo is around, so the turn may be back this time tomorrow
Ljube says:
graet
Ljube says:
roth is now the lord of the bards and McM and snoopy can do little to sway his opinions and decisions to something else than he initially planned
Paddy says:
oh
Paddy says:
I think they all discuss, then one plays
Ljube says:
it seems that way
Ljube says:
quite unlike our horde which is as democratic as it can be
Ljube says:
really?
Paddy says:
yeah
Paddy says:
they all talk
PLATO says:
why did snoop not want to discuss metallica? surely more than just pride.
Paddy says:
there are 6 on the team
Paddy says:
no idea
Paddy says:
he had a chance
Paddy says:
not ours to force them
Ljube says:
of course
Ljube says:
sad all that, just sad
Ljube says:
metallica, if captured, will be razed to the ground
PLATO says:
it is not the decision that bothers me (although it is questionable one), it is unwillingness to discuss
Ljube says:
yes
Paddy says:
Aqua just rang again
Ljube says:
ah, good
Paddy says:
"No Battle Reports"
Ljube says:
haha, he expected we would attack bards?
Paddy says:
yes
Paddy says:
hoped we would
PLATO says:
haha
Ljube says:
hahaha
Paddy says:
told him of the swords
Paddy says:
he can see the Stack of Doom
Paddy says:
thus he knows they have little elsewhere
Paddy says:
and he is hoping we will pillage and plunder
Paddy says:
shame Yul turned up and saw us...
Ljube says:
yes, that would be an opportunistic thing to do
Ljube says:
but we are not like that, at least not for the moment
PLATO says:
aqua is an opportunistic thinker
PLATO says:
that is why we could never trust him
Ljube says:
that's why he is having difficulties finding allies
Ljube says:

PLATO says:
hehe. indeed
Paddy says:
hehehe
Paddy says:
must kill aqua....
Ljube says:
must kill aqua and who would have thought he would be the first to go
PLATO says:
must kill aqua
Paddy says:
Kloreep and Beta are both online and have the save, they are playing now
Ljube says:
great
PLATO says:
cool
Paddy says:
Aqua will play when he gets home from work in 6 - 7 hours
Paddy says:
thus setting it up for 1889 and then A-M in the following hours
Ljube says:
yes
PLATO says:
the save is really moving well
Paddy says:
so shall we look at another meeting tomorrow
Ljube says:
indeed we shall
Ljube says:
second day of my workshop
Paddy says:
cool
PLATO says:
That would be great. I'll try to keep up tommorow. hehe
Paddy says:

Nope


Just browsed through it and a few things came to mind.

Those two horsemen sent to heal, as they lacked only 1hp they could just as well healed in the open. Unless they were actually needed elsewhere, like on the front, in which case it is OK

Veteran ACs have *5* hitpoints


Ljube, how do you you calculate army strength? I've read some details on how the "weak/average/strong" is calculated but I'd like to see how you do it.

Thanks Bongo

a typo of mine in bringing it over from last thread

correction added as follows:

Black Lightning (horseman 1/5) - to Bohkara to rest

Soothsayer's Savages (horseman 2/5) - 6,3
heading for barracks to rest

thank you for the details on AC as well

also Aqua has ways of making calculations as well... accountants

Hehe

Knowing the full detail can give us a couple of new ways to confuse our enemies: If we want to appear stronger we fortify our defensive troops on high ground, or even on high ground inside forts. If we want to appear weaker we do the opposite, or even delay healing of redlined troops to camoflauge our real strength.


Moving troops between high and low ground can also be used to accurate pinpoint enemy strength
