[19:13] Sigma: War chariot promoted to Combat I, cannot fortify since it is mounted, it remains on the forested hill

[19:18] Sigma: haven't lost any units yet Tubby
[19:18] Methos: Woohoo
[19:18] Tubby_the_idiot: that's me job
[19:18] DarkStrider: I guess since I'm president, I'm going to have to act responsible at this turnchat. haha
[19:18] Tubby_the_idiot: why start now?
[19:19] DarkStrider: eh, I take responsbility far to seriously.
[19:19] DarkStrider: Which is why I usually shy away from it.
[19:19] Sigma: warrior moves next to Russian city, Rostov
[19:20] DarkStrider: I plan on this being my last term though and being President before just "disappearing" has this nice romantic mystery to it that I can't resist.
[19:20] Methos: Disappearing?
[19:21] Tubby_the_idiot: how many turn left on the worker in BW?
[19:21] DarkStrider: Not disappearing, I'll stay active in both my teams from the MTDG and the DG Cage Match..
[19:21] Methos: He should still be on turn 1
[19:21] Sigma: worker moves to help Road Builders, we now have 2 workers building the road to City #4
[19:21] DarkStrider: From the Demogame itself and the RPG.. I'll likely disappear though.
[19:21] Sigma: 6 turns tubby
[19:21] DarkStrider: Were still on turn 1..
[19:21] Tubby_the_idiot: thanks Sigma
[19:22] DarkStrider: Wohoo! Main page report posted!
[19:22] DarkStrider: 2 people looking over the DG forums I've never seen before.
[19:22] DarkStrider: Here's to hoping for the best and acouple new members also.
[19:22] Sigma: End of Turn 1 - Philosophy in 50, 70% science, 30% tax, 1g (0gpt)
[19:23] Methos: I guess we didn't do any of the MM'ing to speed up our research?
[19:23] Tubby_the_idiot: nope...
[19:24] Sigma: IBT - Pliny has completed his greatest work - the most cultured civilizations in the world!
[19:24] Sigma: We're 4th, behind 3 unknowns
[19:24] Sigma: Bismarck is 6th, and Peter is 7th
[19:24] Sigma: Ghengis isn't on the list
[19:25] Sigma: IBT - Barb archers attack our war chariot, war chariot holds on with .7/5 health left, and a free promotion, it remains sitting on the hill, healing
[19:26] Methos: The promotion can be used to heal remember.
[19:26] Sigma: yes but no instruction was given
[19:26] Tubby_the_idiot: what promotions does it already have
[19:26] Methos: Whoops, forgot about that.
[19:26] Sigma: combat 1
[19:26] DarkStrider: Leave it be.. let the military advisor choose the promotions
[19:26] Tubby_the_idiot: add flanking
[19:26] Sigma: I'm going to hold on giving a promotion until robboo assigns it in a later TC
[19:26] Tubby_the_idiot: no instruction = DP's decision
[19:26] Tubby_the_idiot: ok
[19:27] Sigma: I'm going to try to do this as "by the book" as possible
[19:27] DarkStrider: True, but he's complained before about the DP giving units promotions.
[19:27] Sigma: russian spy moves into rostov, screenie taken
[19:27] Tubby_the_idiot: but if another barb shows up, I'd take the promotion rather than risk losing the unit
[19:28] Methos: I agree to do this by the book for now. We can always discuss it later if needed.
[19:28] Sigma: well we can see all squares around and no barbs one square away, so far
[19:28] Sigma: workers move to the next tile for the road
[19:28] Tubby_the_idiot: ok.... I'll shut up now
[19:29] Sigma: End of turn 2 - Philosophy in 50, 70% science, 30% tax, 1g (0gpt)
[19:29] Sigma: The Micalian's Gate Library has been completed! No instructions were given by the governor so I'll follow GeorgeOP's instruction to start producing more archers.
[19:30] Sigma: It will be complete in 3 turns
[19:30] Methos: Woohoo, more culture!
[19:30] Tubby_the_idiot: Why not a galley?
[19:30] Tubby_the_idiot: can we make them yet?
[19:31] Sigma: don't have sailing
[19:31] Tubby_the_idiot: k.
[19:32] Sigma: worker done in 4 turns, settler in 4
[19:32] Sigma: End of turn 3 - Philosophy in 49, 70% science, 30% tax, 1g (0gpt)
[19:33] Sigma: make that +1gpt!
[19:33] Sigma: Bad news... mongolian settler two tiles north of Turfan
[19:34] Methos: How close is that to our border?
[19:34] Sigma: it's two squares SE of our Abydos border
[19:34] Methos: I can't remember where Turfan is.
[19:34] Sigma: I think they're heading for site beta... our next settling site
[19:35] Methos: That sucks!
[19:36] Sigma: do I stop or keep going? I can't find any stop orders if a settler appears
[19:36] Methos: The only orders I recall were to close borders if someone tried to enter our territory.
[19:37] Sigma: yeah they're still a little ways away...
[19:37] Tubby_the_idiot: DP can stop when he feels it is necessary
[19:37] Sigma: I'll play another turn and see where he goes
[19:37] Tubby_the_idiot: shadow him with an axe
[19:38] Sigma: abydos worker moves to the iron to begin building a mine
[19:39] Methos: Lol! We're watching Stargate SG1 right now and they keep talking about Abydos! Makes me a little confused.
[19:39] Sigma: moving axeman NE to head off the settler
[19:40] Sigma: End of turn 4 - Philosophy in 48, 70% science, 30% tax, 2g (+1gpt)
[19:41] Sigma: the mongolian settler moves a square north
[19:41] Methos: So he's heading towards our border currently.
[19:41] Sigma: yes
[19:42] Tubby_the_idiot: let him go so that he wastes some turns
[19:42] Tubby_the_idiot: until he goes inside our borders
[19:43] Methos: I recall that if he tries to enter our borders were supposed to close them. I'm looking for that order now.
[19:43] Sigma: yes
[19:43] Sigma: it's in the Sec State orders, at the top
[19:43] Sigma: he's still two tiles away though
[19:43] Sigma: I'm more afraid of him settling before he gets there, but not much we can do
[19:44] Methos: True
[19:44] Sigma: End of turn 5, saving and uploading

[19:47] Methos: Where are you uploading the save too?
[19:47] Methos: Thanks.
[19:48] Sigma: check it out and give me your opinion on the situation with the settler, I'll be back in about 5 mins
[19:52] DarkStrider: argh, I can get so much extra done if I just drop the RPG..
[19:52] Methos: Doesn't the AI typically shy away from jungle tiles?
[19:52] DarkStrider: I haven't noticed any "shying" in my games..
[19:52] Methos: I'm wondering if the Mongols are heading towards the pigs.
[19:52] Tubby_the_idiot: I think that the settler is still headed for approximately where Beta is
[19:53] Methos: I was thinking the AI tends to go for non jungle areas first, but not entirely sure. Mostly play SG's.
[19:54] Tubby_the_idiot: we have ~ 4 turns before our setter is in a position to plant near Beta
[19:54] Tubby_the_idiot: go ahead and play until the settler is built then stop play.
[19:54] Tubby_the_idiot: IMO
[19:56] Methos: I believe there was a stop instruction on finishing the settler anyway.
[19:57] Sigma: no we have a location to put the settler, that would be after 10 turns though
[19:57] Sigma: I'm back btw
[19:58] Sigma: any objections to me going on?
[19:58] Tubby_the_idiot: not now
[19:58] Methos: None here.
[19:58] Sigma: ok

[19:59] Sigma: IBT - Mongolian settler moves to the hill where our axe is stationed
[20:00] Sigma: Archer in Micalian's gate finishes, starting another archer
[20:00] Tubby_the_idiot: good
[20:00] Tubby_the_idiot: what else is available in MG?
[20:00] Sigma: Theatre is 4 turns, granary is 10
[20:00] Sigma: but the order was archer so I have to follow it
[20:01] Tubby_the_idiot: oh... didn't realize that
[20:01] Sigma: our axe stays where he is on the hill for max visibility
[20:02] Sigma: russian spy moves NE

[20:03] Sigma: IBT - Mongolian settler moves NE
[20:04] Sigma: they're next to the lake now
[20:04] Tubby_the_idiot: must this be explained every TC?... It's elvish or sumpin like that

[20:05] Sigma: beginning spearman in BW
[20:05] Tubby_the_idiot: how far away from beta is the Mongloid?
[20:05] CivGeneral: Tubby the Idiot?
[20:05] * CivGeneral is confused
[20:05] Methos: Hopefully they pass it up.
[20:06] Sigma: they're currently 1 NW of site beta, which means they passed it
[20:06] Sigma: but if they settle in place we can't found a city at beta
[20:06] * Tubby_the_idiot is an idiot
[20:06] Tubby_the_idiot: but we can kill the city first
[20:06] Methos: I'm thinking they're heading for the pigs.
[20:07] Chieftess: Are we at war yet?
[20:07] Sigma: no we're not
[20:07] Methos: No
[20:07] Chieftess: Ok, Tubby made it sound like we were.
[20:07] Methos: If they settle near the pigs we can always take it later.
[20:07] Tubby_the_idiot: city #5 needs to build culture like crazy
[20:07] Tubby_the_idiot: we might be if they settle in the wrong place
[20:07] Methos: As Minister of Culture, I definitely agree with Tubby

[20:12] Methos: This sounds like a good stopping point. As we'll need to discuss the new problem.
[20:12] Sigma: yeah
[20:12] Methos: Site Beta has now been compromised.
[20:12] Sigma: I agree, Play is being stopped, and this TC is now over
