[NUKE9.13]

Well, it could've been worse, I suppose. Anyway, GM confirms our cannon is light enough that it can, sort of, be used in some parts of the swamp.

@Piratejoe , is our cannon light enough to be deployed in the drier parts of the swamp?
Piratejoe - Today at 8:41 AM
Kind of.
You see, its kinda hard getting into the drier parts of the swamp.
It will have some prevelance, not much though.

So, not a lot of effect, but more than their cannon has. Enough that even if they've done a revision that slightly boosts their combat ability in the swamp, we'll still have an advantage.
Mind you, having to spend our revision (barely) fixing our design will have cost us. If they've revised water-proof firearms, or even if they've revised armour that's better than ours, we might be in trouble.

Yeah the rolls suck, BUT! There's nothing to it but to do it, yes? Let's go.

...But why? We're losing ground in the villages, which are pretty much the only decent place to use the new cannon tactics. Horses can't run in a swamp. Horses can't run at a 70 degree angle up rock and gravel. Still, pressing our naval advantage is good, so the mountains are still a good idea.

Because their guns are better in close-quarters fighting through the villages in the REGION (It's not just one village, and I'm sure PJ agrees, if only because he can't logically disagree).

[Khang36]

Considering how light our cannons are compared the theirs we should have an advantage in the mountains as our would be easier to deploy than their own.

Mm, no, D7 has a point. Our cannons will only shine in the village region, since it's the only place we can move around quickly. Even if we can use them a little bit in the swamp, we won't have the sort of mobility needed to fully exploit them.

That being said, I don't like our chances in either region. But on the off chance that we win in the swamp, we will have captured an entire territory, whereas in the village region we would only move back to 2/4. Remember, attacking in a region doesn't make us more likely to win, it just means if we win we advance.

Khang: the mountains are described as being all-but inaccessible by horse. It's unlikely we will be able to deploy our cannons in anything but a defensive role. No, the reason we will win the mountains is on account of our naval dominance, which we will still have since Joe (for some reason) decided to reveal that they did not make a ship this turn!? In other words, the mountains are just a free win.



Incidentally, with regard to our forthcoming industrialisation, clearly the only logical thing to do is build mobile factories that can follow tribes as they migrate. We just need something like this:

But with a smelter or forge or powered loom on it instead of a yurt.

[Khang36]

From the conversation he said they didn't make a boat and quick to point out we made a ship and not a boat. I feel like he was implying that they made a ship but not a boat.

[NUKE9.13]

NUKE9.13 - Today at 9:08 AM
Or rather, a ship is a boat  with a boat on it.
Piratejoe - Today at 9:08 AM
I have no clue if you should figgure out what their design is.
And no, it doesnt have any boats on it.

It's not a ship.

[Khang36]

Oh, ok that is good to know. Must have skimed over that last night.

If this is what people are going for, it must be a good idea. Thus, I vote to go with the crowd.

((Also, is voting for two...y'know, allowed? Because everyone except Doubloonseven is on the one's I'm on, and that's only because he went two on the village.))

[NUKE9.13]

Yes, we attack on two fronts at once, so we get two votes.

[Greatness942]

Okay, makes sense. Thank you.

[Kot]

It is probably is a ship, Nuke just has retarded definition of a ship (it must have boats on it).

[Doubloon-Seven]

I've decided to make a flag.

The symbolism is that the blue border represents the freedom of our people, under the wide open sky. The gold is the wealth of our nation, the crescent is just a historic Mongolian symbol (Colored purple because it connects with royalty), and it is crossed with an arrow- a reference to our archers and military might- to form a religious symbol of Tengri, the religion we (presumably) have.

Thoughts?
