"You are surrounded! There is no hope for escape! Throw down your arms and abandon your horses, and your king may ride out to return with those you have stolen from us so that you may walk away from here alive," Alyxunmyn's iron-lunged majrodomo Horllyxyn boomed out, his amazingly loud voice carrying out for all to hear.

The Forhuch forces seemed to consider this for a time, before their king made an unmistakable gesture of defiance and wheeled his warriors around to hit the less solid forces in his rear.

You know, I have to wonder what was going through his mind when he refused surrender.

@Academia Nut
Did their social values push to a Fucked Anyway conclusion or did he just think he could break out with horsepower?

Hah. We really did "Omae wa mou shinderu" them.

They were dead the moment Alyxunmyn entered the field.

I feel kinda bad for the yeomen though. So close to getting their quest done, but it looks like it isn't going to happen.

Actually, if we take choose festival and take one econ convert, we got it. With mills we'll need at least five, but less risk of a starvation, I guess.

@Academia Nut
Two more questions
Between our Good Admin King, our excellent Admin General & Levi being defined as only so many that it does Not Crash the Economy
What are the Chances of it actually crashing our Economy ?

And also shouldn't we have the option to recalling Part of the Army to sustain the rest A.k.a. Retraining ?

Heh.

Yeah. Like the Lessons, PrimalShadow once put up, Geniuses in their element(especially while carrying two Nat 100's) are indistinguishable from magic.

Only took him a few years to kill a nation.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but Alex better write it all down or it didn't happen.

Can someone tell me why we are taking mills?

Right now, Wealth/Diplo/Culture/Mysticism/Tech are collectively 7 points away from maxing, with 14 points of overflow primed. That means we will get 7 points overflowing into Econ.

If we take Mills, we will lose 8 wealth, this eliminating overflow, all to gain 4 Econ. As a result, we will be down 3 econ. Why?

...Does that mean we can remove it now?

The amount of tags we have is a bit ridiculous.

Mills don't cost EE, they are LTE positive. It all depends on if there's another phase or not this turn. Assuming another phase, we need 1 econ for Festival or 2 econ for Mills.

Also, mills actually end us this turn with one less econ than festival. Doubling the wealth cost of everything hurts mills so much.

When does the overflow occur, though? If it's timed wrong, we're risking starving, and in that case I'm happy to trade optimality for certainty.

OK I have been persuaded the math works out and we need to keep stability at least neutral.

OK so we've got 8 econ incoming from refunds/delayed, mills will actually give us less econ than doing nothing at all. I need to consider further, but right now it's between stability and government upgrade for me.

Are you certain of this?

ctulhuslp · Nov 22, 2017

Fair point, @PrimalShadow . At least if overflow occurs before starvation...oh. Also, doubt we will have so many converts from econ to martial next phase tbh - our general won so much we converted way more than normal for Levy.

Overflow happens end-of-turn. Unless we get 10 Econ costs here (again, somehow, despite this first 10 being the result of multiple crits) we will be fine. Or at least we will be better of than we would be with mills.

EDIT: Well, 9 if we chose Festivals instead of RoO.
