We just got Engineering, and I've started producing trebuchets. Also, I looked over our military situation, and came to the conclusion that we are better off with feudalism than civil service. We already have 10-some swordsmen and axemen with excellent city raider bonuses. Since the trebuchets will be doing an admirable job at whittling down enemy longbowmen to low health, we won't need strength 8 city raiders to finish them off. On the contrary, feudalism will give us vassalage, which means that our trebuchets will be born with one additional level of city raider. After all, they are the ones to bear the brunt of the fighting, doing the initial strike rounds when the enemy is splashed with collateral damage.

Also, I took the initiative to start the Notre Dame. We'll have it in 11 turns from Napalm Springs. More happy faces is always an asset, especially during the The End Smackdown we're inevitably going to have with Alpha.

We already have the Statue of Zeus so if we get ND as well.... heh heh heh... the war will be an unhappy one for them indeed.

What war?

I fully expect they will surrender before our troops even get to the gates of their cities. :snickers:

I don't know if you were being serious LC, but I think you're right. As discussed elsewhere, a full-scale war will be impractical and ruinously expensive. I think they'll be demoralised long before then, helped along by Zig's idea of "death by a thousand cuts"

We just got feudalism, and I started the revolution. We will have vassalage and serfdom in two. So, anyone who wants a ducal title, raise a hand!

Switching from barbarism to vassalage only increased civic upkeep by 3, and for that we got free upkeep for 14 units. Quite a bargain, I'd say, considering that now all our units will be born with one additional level

Me quote me from other thread:
Konrad, I added the commerce/ hammers tags to elicit discussion. I added an abundance of commerce tags, because I thought you all would be overly interested in hammers... Change 'em as needed. [Smile]


Is the demographics screen still listing a preposterous advantage?

We're at (about) a 2:1 advantage over Portugal in terms of hammers, and at (about) 5:2 in terms of gold.

If we re-designate Aksum, which by the way has been renamed to Iron Boot Bay, to hammers; I think we will be rather well-balanced.

They have their uses (as long as they're not stomping over you)

Might we see an assault on Portugal before this Dictator's term is up? It's beginning to look like it. Once we have drained the Portuguese of useful technology and we have the financial wherewithal to cope, I can't see why not.

Actually, I doubt that the invasion will happen during my reign. If memory serves me right, my last turn is turn 190. According to a quick scan of the current situation, we will have 12 trebuchets by turn 187. Less if we want to produce some pikemen too, which we definitely should to keep those horse archers away. Or macemen just for all-around brawn.

I would rather wait a bit longer and crush Portugal swiftly to give them less time to mobilize. If we strike as soon as we can overpower one city and count on building more troops as the war goes on, so will they.

That said, I will be content with building an army of fascistic proportions and leave the glorious conquest to my successor. I'm the Fabricator-Generalissimo, after all.
