You can pillage the horses. RP upgraded their 4. Prolly have to irrigate first before road though, looking at Bolderberg.

I'm going to leave 4 pikes (1 elite) in Toledo. It's a hardened fortress which gives a vet pike a 78% chance of defeating a vet rider (88% of the pike is elite). I'd like to see GoW try to take it.
5 knights and 4 cats will move 12 from Toledo (it is necessary to move them to where they can be relevant, and this position might turn out to be useful, depending on GoW's next moves).
1 MI from Toledo will move 4 to get closer to ND's scout. They'll probably run away, but the purpose is not to kill the scout (which we can't do unless ND lets us), it is to prevent it from keeping watch on us from that direction.
I'm thinking of moving 2 MIs and a pike from Toledo to Toledo-8, in order to attack ND's watch-MI on the mountain at Toledo-89 next turn and take it over with a pike. It'll provide us with a nice early warning system.

Any objections?

Shiber, have you landed the knight and mi's from the lead boats, and then done the galley chaining for the rear pike boats?

Correction: we can hit ND's scout this turn, I didn't notice the road on Toledo-4.
NYE: I'll do the landings and chaining now.

You can kill the scout, there is a road there.

I've had a problem with Civ for quite a while.
When I start it, my refresh rate is lowered to something that feels like 60 Hz. The screen resolution doesn't change.
Until now this wasn't a problem because I don't play Civ these days outside GS, but now it is irritating because the lower refresh rate hurts my eyes and I can't keep the save open all the time (the low refresh rate is retained when I alt-tab to other apps). Any idea why this is happening and how I might be able to fix it?

There is a line in the ini file. I can't remember it, but I am sure someone else might. Try looking for 'Refresh'.

Here's a thought: GoW could be trying for a fork again. They might send their units to the hill in NM 12, from which they can threaten NM, Sirocco and Barcelona.
I hope they'll do that, because then we'll have a golden opportunity to hit them with a cat, MIs and knights; including the units that'll arrive into Sirocco next turn, we should have enough to render a stack of 11 riders on hills ineffective, perhaps even gone completely.

That's where I looked at first, but I couldn't find anything of this sort.
There's KeepRes (used for keeping the desktop resolution in the game, IIRC). I tried on and off and neither brought relief to my sore eyes.

Arriving next turn? All of the pikes are down and ready to move, right? We could arrange for 2 more knights next turn, I think.

All of the units that were supposed to land this turn have landed (some pikes, MIs and knights).
Next turn we'll have 2 knights that were loaded this turn, and then we can load some more units (MIs if GoW moves as I indicated, knights otherwise).

We should have 2 boats loading this turn, shouldn't we?

NYE: According to DeepO, only one.

I'm suggesting to take a shot at the lone rider with a knight.
No use in leaving a cat undefended to bait GoW if they're going to fork NM, Sirocco and Barcelona anyway.

Knight from NM, or Pamp 6 9?

	10-08-2003 02:28									#79
	Remove this text

I'm thinking P-69. We're gonna need the knights in NM if GoW's main stack moves into an attackable position next turn.
P-69 is no longer needed to block a huge stack of riders, unless GoW backtracks their main attack body, which doesn't seem likely (I think they have a pretty good idea of where they're going and we're not doing anything shocking that could change their plans).

	10-08-2003 02:37									#80
	Got spare money?

They could all hit P 6 9 this turn in an effort to get at Pamplona. However, 1 knight from there should not be too much, since i agree, problems to the South are pressing.

Poly went down, so the debriefing went out via Email.
Quoting:

quote: We killed GoW's lone wimpy rider with our own lone brave knight from New Madrid. We moved two pikes out of NM to cover that knight (2/4). We killed an ND scout at Toledo-44 with a medinf from Toledo. We moved all 5 knights and 4 cats out of Toledo and into Toledo-12; they're on their way to doing something useful. We moved a pike and two medinfs from Toledo to Toledo-8, hoping to overtake Toledo-89 from ND's medinf next turn and replacing that medinf with our own pike. We can backtrack next turn if the team doesn't like this idea; Toledo is under no immediate threat anyhow

I think that covers it.
Good night!

Damn, sorry, I've been totally absorbed in my replay of AU 208. I'm preparing for my second IC invasion, which I'm sure everyone has noticed I've been obsessed with lately.

Won;t happen again. I'll review and comment, but I'm sure everything was well handled. Sorry again.

Shiber, I re-read LOTR too, and know it so well that, yeah, it's good to fall asleep to, and guaranteed for good dreams.

I read all the Harry Potter books playing AU 402 (? right, the huge map)... liked them a lot too.
