One more push before Ju falls. Shu's looking to scoop up Chu though, but Jin's knocking on their doors.

I'm in NO position to threaten Chu in any way. 

You honestly are, you have no idea how much I don't care about fighting you

Your conquest of two of my provinces speaks differently.

You are in a position to threaten Yong, Kui, and Dhen. Meanwhile Qi's managed to get their hooks into Song. Bao, Xun, and Zhuang give you options to threaten a capital if you take them. Though if you strike near Chu you can expect me to enter your war posthaste.

Perhaps you should examine how much rice Jin has in comparison to mine.  Also note: I no longer qualify for a Kingdom title.
Also, my capital is clearly being threatened.

@Tric: Why are you handing Jin the game?

Note that once you are a Kingdom, that can't be taken from you. Rice Bonus is permanent. Also I kinda expected you to fight as hard as you can. The Jin-Wu treaty is still active.

The Jin-Wu treaty in which Wu basically is agreeing to let Jin win.
It should be called the Jin Treaty of Wu's Submission.

[EuchreJack]

Yue, E, 10 & 10 InvadE.
May my luck let my conquer both so I can Kingdom. 10 Grain to both invasions.

TricMagic, care for a non-aggression pact?

Sure. Dun, Chen, Chao, Xue, Tan. Neither of us will take those provinces. Zhou is free game though.

@Tric: This is the extent of your treaty.

[a1s]

Turn in about ~3 hours. Haspen, you have a chance to do something besides defending Ju with all the rice, though I don't expect you will.

[Haspen]

13 to invade Yi
12 to invade Teng
1 to defend Ju

[TricMagic]

13 to invade Yi
12 to invade Teng
1 to defend Ju

You might as well have not even bothered defending Ju with that amount.
Annoying though. You'll going to threaten Qi and maybe manage to snag their Rice, cutting it in half. Can't blame you though.

[EuchreJack]

1 point defense is a decent strategy in that it requires the opponent to roll the dice or commit 12 rice to invade.
There is certainly a strategy behind Publicly Declaring 1 Point Defense.

I'd never commit less that 20 though. And that would be me being an idiot, the sooner Haspen loses their capital, the sooner I can clean up. Even if they retook Tan, they'd be greatly weakened.
Granted, good on them for not trying to. They can't really split their rice in a head-on war against me. As is they are just going to become a splinter if they don't take Qi.

Commit 20 rice to their 1 rice? Haspen's investment is super effective!

[Haspen]

Tric will conquer Ju and half the rice will be razed.

[TricMagic]

It's a fair bit more, but I'll have 64 rice after this. Haspen has 5 to 15. Not as much as Jin has, but pretty decent

[EuchreJack]

Er, nevermind.

Point of order:

Once a State is conquered, inevitably there will be looting, pillaging and destruction at hands of victorious soldiers. The Rice output of the State is thus HALVED, and the new owner of the pillaged land will need to re-invest into it. This can lead to Devastation:

Devastated States are those States that have 0 Rice output; it is not possible to launch attacks from Devastated States, and one must first Invest in them to be able to launch attacks from it in the next Turn.

So its half each conquest.  No idea how the rounding works.

Up given I have a 3-rice state.

[TricMagic]

I can officially declare our alliance over Max. Not that it might matter if you manage to get the victory condition. Thanks for waiting.

Good luck to thee Jack, want a non-aggression pact?

Haspen, I do wonder if you plan to officially surrender with a public development action.

[Haspen]

a1s you forgot the 'who needs to post' labels under the map this time
