	Got spare money?

OK, here is my plan for the coming turns. I don't have much time to refine it right now, or to draw maps. I'll do that stuff on Monday.


Ta-Tu change production to pikeman. This pikeman will be 4 from U2 in 5 turns.
Pike from Bloodview moves to Fort Napster.
Pike from KBH will need 4 turns to get to Fort Napster.

AGE infantry moves: 4-7 (turn 1), 7 (turn 2), 7 (turn 3), upgrade (turn 4), 9-9 (turn 5).

AGE infantry consists of 6 pikes, 2 archers and 9 swords/med inf (depending on the money for upgrades).


I will not count on horses that are currently at 1 from B52. One will die for sure at the hands of the elite bard horse. The other two may die or live, that's still to be seen.

If they live, they should move out to B52 1-1-1.

These horses are:

Col. BKWM's Red Dawn (horseman 4/4)
Shadow of Doubt (horseman 4/4)
Col. Rcoutme's Royal Racers (horseman 4/4)


We must send our horses north, to trouble the bard lands. I suggest we move all our horses north and form them at B52 1-1-1. From there they can move 8 and threaten two bard cities: B52 and the yet unknown coastal city. These cities will fall.

Horses I recommend for this:

Khan's Own Faithfuls (horseman 4/4)
Col. Dialectic's Black Lightning (horseman 5/5)
Col. Plato's Soothsayer's Savages (horseman 5/5)
Col. Makahlua's Eingana Princesses (horsewoman 4/4)
Storm Hoof (horseman 5/5)
Brigadier Gen. Ljubes Mjolnir (horseman 4/4)
Second Horse of the Apocalypse (ancient cavalry 5/5)
Bongolian Royal Red Guards (horseman 4/4)
13th Horse Guards (horseman 4/4)
Red Roughrider (horseman 4/4)
Fire Hoof (horseman 4/4)


DR army:

The objectiove of this army is to capture Nirvana. It should stay out of sight for as long as possible and coordinate the attack with our AGE. This army consists of 11 immortals, 2 spears and 3 catapults. They should move: 6-9-9-8-8 and be at hill 6 from Nirvana on the fifth turn.

I am reluctant to sending *all* our fastmovers up north. We should keep minimum half of them with AGE.

I am not sure what to do with the other half though, if we should use them for bard harassement or just keep them as a fast border-patrol in case the bards try something stupid.


I may have asked this already, but where the F did all our money go

I don't think they should act as bard harassment. I think they should capture B52 and the unknown coastal city and then proceed to capture Abba the turn after. For that plan we need as many horses up north as we can send.

As of next turn, there is no danger to Fort Napster from a bard counter-attack because AGE infantry will reach the outskirts of Fort Napster.

Perhaps we should keep some of our horses near Fort Napster, but I think that if we want to be effective in the north we must send at least 7 horses there.


We spent about 500 dollars on embassy with Babylon and stealing feudalism.

Ah, that's how we got feudalism...About worth it I'd say
(not that I ever bothered to steal techs in other pbems...)


My main reason to keep some horses with AGE is that you'll always need fast units in a good composite force

Not to mention workers...we should send some worker to fort napster (did I mention I want to rename it to Brutallica once AGE gets there )

	Suffering from ads?

B52 abandoned. Snoopy is such a sore loser.

DR rebuilt Sidon!
How could this have happened? Now our AGE infantry is going to be 1 turn late! Scrap the plan posted above!
Also, DR infantry moved 8. They are keen on attacking without synch. So be it! Let them take the brunt of the casualties!!! I care not about them any more!


My recommendations for this turn:


Build city.

Bone Crusher - 7 barb hunting.
Double Edge - 8 barb hunting.


AGE infantry - 4.
Long Eyes - 8-8.


New AC in KBH – 3-2-2-3-2, gone to form a task force for killing Babylon.
Pike in Bloodview - stay there.

Shadow Striker - 6-9-6.


First Horse of Apocalypse - 3-6, attack barb horse, fort.
Destroyer of Hope - 3-6, attack barb horse, fort.


Our Cavalry 9 from Fort Napster - withdraw to Fort Napster
Slicers & Dicers - withdraw to Fort Napster.


Col. BKWM's Red Dawn (horseman 4/4)
Shadow of Doubt (horseman 4/4)
Col. Rcoutme's Royal Racers (horseman 4/4)
All move 8-9.

Brigadier Gen. Ljubes Mjolnir (horseman 4/4)
Second Horse of the Apocalypse (ancient cavalry 5/5)
Both move 8-7.

The aim of these five is to destroy the two northern coastal Bard cities (or force the Bards to abandon them) and stay out of harm's way.


Skull Spiltter - move to Fort Napster.
Bloodseeker - upgrade.


Cities:

Ta-Tu - change production to pike (THIS MUST BE DONE!!)
Bokhara - change production to pike.
Bloodfort - Change production to worker.
Bloodview - Change production to worker, appoint scientist in Bloodview (instead of working the irrigated flood plains). Also must be done due to unhappiness.
Red River Hill - Start working the flood plains.


Set tax rate at 100%. Research using the sole scientist in Bloodview.
