Aside from the "n" in the beginning of your name, it's a direct cut and paste from the chat, so don't blame me for the capitalization.

Okay, how about if anyone joining in from now on says, "I am me, and me is I" in the chat room? Only people who can read this thread will know to say that. That will cut down the spam in the thread.

BTW, in case anyone thought I was too paranoid...

There was a 'Trip' in there this evening. That 'Trip' did not act like any 'Trip' we know, and that 'Trip' did not feel like identifying himself in this thread.

I hope the real Trip was not there this evening.

Actually, I hope it was the real Trip because if it wasn't him then it means another team is cheating.

If Trip denies entering the chat room then there should be some stern questions asked on the public forum.

Did you just boot him from the room as soon as it became clear he was suspicious?

We ended up building the Great Lighthouse after Aeson and Sir Ralph switched their votes - and good thing too; Vox has two immortals on the mountains north of Hurricane and will likely have a third next turn. (That's one of the things that helped cause vote switches.) Our galleys are headed north to stop such incursions; we'll use our next galley (finished in two turns) to go up the west coast.

Also, I made a last-second change after sending the screenshot: I switched Tornado from a WC to a 3-turn medieval infantry (now two turns from completion). I figure a medieval infantry is likely to be a lot more valuable against the troops around Hurricane, and I calculate that he'll barely be finished in time to get in on the action if we get in trouble. Hope that's okay with everyone.

The bigger stack has 4 reg and 4 vet immortals. Unsure about the smaller, should be a total of 4 immortals, but don't know their experience.

Btw, we missed to move a unit towards the 2 approaching immortals on the eastern mountains. Now it will be hard to stop them before the iron / Hurricane.

FP: I don't have a log, I was already at work during the chat and could follow only sporadically.

Arrian: Nothing yet, but Vox seems stronger than we thought. 2 of us (Aeson and me) switched our wonder vote from Sun Tzu's to the Lighthouse, in order to have Hurricane free for unit production. We gonna need it.

Vox landed 2 immortals on the top of the coastal mountains (we should think of a name for them). They'll approach Hurricane and would arrive in 4 turns. I suggested to intercept them in the middle, because south of it the mountain range gets wider (2 tiles) and it's harder to block/deflect them. But this would have meant to move this turn.

Do we know how many Spears are part of those two Immortal stacks near Arashi?

Sorry, I woudl check myself, but I can't open the save up for several hours.

There's only 2 of them, though. Hurricane's production should make it easy to get a few Pikes there by the time they arrive, no?

Sure intercepting them would have been better, but we can still deal with them, can't we?

SR,

Then yeah, we need to move this turn. Intercept ASAP.

I guess I was confused about something... would the Great Library have taken more turns to build? If we were 1 turn from the Pyramids, then we were 1 turn from the GL, right? So the Lighthouse was built at a 100 shield loss, right?

That's fine, the team clearly preferred the Lighthouse, it's just that I thought that both GLs would have freed Hurricane up for unit production immediately, not just the Lighthouse. Am I wrong?

Ok, so we have a landing on the East coast, and a stack coming in from the north...

Can we get some screenies posted in our forum here when someone gets a chance? EDIT: nice crosspost!

The 2 immortals should have been intercepted, before the mountain strip gets 2 tiles wide (which would mean we need twice as much units to block them)

Do we really want Arashi building walls? I'd rather have units.

edit: damn, so now we have to block 2 mountain tiles instead of 1.

Well, I definitely want our galleys to go up the east coast and, if possible, sink their galley.

	Got spare money?

If that stack 22 of Dissidentville moves 1 next turn, and we don't destroy them, what's to stop them from taking Monsoon on the next turn?

I guess people have already discussed this, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

FP: Nothing, sadly. But Monsoon is not a key city. We lose it, so be it. Let's face the fact, that Vox caught us with our pants down. We should have built an appropriate military long ago.

Arrian: Is the Lighthouse 300 or 400 shields? I don't remember, almost never build it.

The Lighthouse has the benefit, that it makes a one-turn galley/caravel shuttle to Bob possible. After Vox RP is due, so it will be useful. More than the GLib, which is of limited worth given the speed of tech whoring and our own considerable research power.

Clearly we would have to hit it with every War Chariot we can muster (hence my wish for a WC out of Arashi, not walls) if we want to keep Monsoon.

Actually, it would be worse if their stack moved "4" instead of "1."

If it moved "1" we could hit it with swords/med inf by moving "7, 1" from Arashi and our slowmovers would stay on the tile "7" from Arashi after winning their battles so as not to be exposed to Vox's second stack. Then WCs can hit and their extra movement would allow them to get out of the way too.
