warrior Rex 3/3: by DR.
archer Dave Grohl 4/4: fortified in U2.
swordsman Snoop Dogg 4/4: moved 221 to U2.
swordsman Larry Mullen 4/4, moved 44 to Nirvana.
swordsman Bono Vox 4/4, moved 44 to Nirvana.
swordsman The Edge 4/4, fortified in U2.
swordsman Mark Knopfler 4/4, fortified in U2.
swordsman Alan Clark 4/4, moved 33 into AbbA and fortified.

Construction in 15 turns @ 80% science
0% luxeries
2 gpt with 4 gold in treasure @ 20% taxes

Diplomacy:
- DR, by means of Aqua informed me of our loss of warrior Rex. As of now we don't have any warriors anymore. However, we do have 8 swordsmen, 2 horsemen & 3 spearmen.


Remarks
- Total War Balance: lost 4 archers, 1 spearman & 1 warrior vs eliminated 2 horsemen = 110 shields lost vs 60 shields.
We are now STRONG towards DR and AVERAGE to BOH!
- There's a DR warrior north of our territory. It's most likely on a hill 7788 from AbbA. Next turn our swordsman Alan Clark can have a look at the border and if the warrior is in range and without defense bonus, we can strike with Beyonc.
- Beach Boys will finish the work on a catapult next turn and will be ordered to build another 1.
- AbbA has been asigned to build another swordsman. We are allowed to have 7 more units.
- Paddy wanted to chat over C3CDG. I'll get to that soon.


Proposal for actions in 1790 BC
worker Rhot: finished roading grass.
worker McM: continue irrigating.
worker Platy: move 2 (accompanied by spearman).

Much of the other moves depend on what the DR warriors and horseman do. Furthermore, the discussion with Paddy might have an influence.

Diplomacy
- There has been no (Euphoriscian) reply on the proposal for negotiations with LB on an alliance vs DR!

We can take out that regular horseman of theirs with our own horseman if we want to chance it. That also depends on if we want to advertise that we did get at least one horse built from our colony.

But it would also make them more wary of leaving units exposed like that. The only downside I can see is if they have another horse within striking distance of our own.

other considerations:
- we might lose, the RNG Godess has not beenn kind to us
- we're having an eye on the northern warrior (to attack with a horsman).

- Potential to lose is something we have to chance anyway in this war, or any other time. We took a risk by starting the war. We need to be willing to take a few more risks now to even it up a bit and I think taking out another horse is worth it. If the prevailing attitude is to wait then that is okay too. I just think it's a good opportunity both to take out a horse and to make them a little more wary of our movement capability. They won't know how many horses we may have.

- We have 3 horses. One can certainly still take out the warrior in the north.

We have 2 horsemen atm.
The total of considerations were mine to not attack the horseman last turn. I'm curious what happens next.

We also have one on the way. I was counting that one too.

with 2 it's close to 100% we'll get that horseman. I hate to loose a unit and have the injured unit run off...

[edit: 2 = horsemen in striking position]
