OK, done. Uploaded the save.
Nice work! Thanks!
Grt Person Farm Work Boat
Turn 160, 200 BC: Grt Person Farm can hurry Work Boat for 1? with 31? overflow and +1? for 15 turns.
Turn 161, 185 BC: You have trained a Work Boat in Grt Person Farm. Work has now begun on a Granary.
May I ask: is there a reason why your screenshot still shows the Work Boat in Grt Person Farm instead of on a Fish?
No worries; we'll just set Crab City back by 1 turn overall (it will take 1 turn longer to grow due to having 3 less Food).
Traded wheat for clams to Zara but turn 157
No worries. The fact that you got the job done is what matters for this point.
Revolted to anything in turn 157
Great, thank you!
T159: settler party landed. not 1W of rice like the spanish one in the test, but in the forest S+SW of rice. Strangely, a spear not an archer.
I could have settle any of the cities between Rice or crabs to avoid it settling, but i've chosen rice 'cause we gain a resource and it can work an hamlet
Nice! I think that you chose well here!
Well, we know that Saladin has either Copper or Iron, due to him having a Spearman...
Unfortunately, like Dhoom said, the forest chop went to this new city instead of Bedrock. OK, i started a worker there, we can live with this, i hope.
We can certainly use another Worker. We'll probably want another Settler built SOMEWHERE, though, since we didn't start to make one in Risaia. Should Delhi make one after completing The Hanging Gardens? It would complete quickly due to the overflow. It would also give me the perfect excuse to slip out of Organized Religion on T163 for 5 turns, as Riverdale is buiding a Missionary and Wheaties is building a Settler--the only other two Cities that currently have our State Religion.
Then again, we could consider whipping the Missionary in Riverdale, starting on a Taoist Monastary (to make use of the Org Rel bonus on the overflow Hammers), and building something else in the capitol (a Monastary?) that could make use of the Org Rel bonus. Or we could do both approaches, by buiding a Settler in Delhi and switching out of Org Rel on T164, after having used the whipped Missionary's Hammers as overflow into a Taoist Monastary, since after that turn of whipping, Riverdale would only make 1 Hammer per turn and wouldn't need the Org Rel bonus.
The two Stone-based Wonders (Chicken Pizza [Chichen Itza] and Angry What [Angkor Wat]) are not great to build there, nor is the Apostolic Palace, as all of these Wonders give us additional Great Prophet points.
The only other Wonder, the Hagia Sophia, which might be useful to build mostly for the Great Engineer GPP, requires us to first connect the Marble.
Delhi currently has room to grow Happiness-wise, but will have no more improved squares to work. We'll need to address this situation and building a Settler there might just buy us the right amount of time to get another improvement ready.
the settler party is frozen where it landed.
Chances are that it will sit there for the entire game, unless we end up Closing Borders with him, at which point it might "magically hop" somewhere. I don't know if this "hopping" action would cause it to "wake up" or if it would just sit in its new location for all of eternity.
Either way, nice work in trapping Saladin's expansion potential!
last event: IBT 161/162 met TOKU!
Interesting. He's ummm, how shall I put it, a very tough character to please (one of the toughest AIs to please, actually, requiring that he is Pleased with you before he will even Open Borders with you to get the bonus postivie Diplo modifiers for having shared Open Borders).
It is too bad that we want to get the extra population points from building The Hanging Gardens. It would be neat to try and trap multiple AIs' Settler Parties on our continent.
Toku is buddhist, so in great friendship with Sal and he knows Calendar and construction.
Will he offer them in trade? Hmmm, we're Confucian... chances of success are a big fat NO!
We really need to get Buddhism if we want to get at some of these techs from the AIs.
The only negative diplo between them is the "close borders" thing, so they're surely neighbors.
Which is not much of a surprise, with (at least the last-reported figure of) 31% of the world being Buddhist and Toku being Buddhist--it would make sense that the AIs would be next to each other.
The only question becomes which one of them is "closer" to us, as chances are that they have Open Borders with each other and Toku being next to us with his Closed Borders would certainly fall under the "evil DynamicSpirit" category of tricks.
We're the worst enemies of Sal, now.
It figures. Toku is usually a jerk, but if you get on his good side, he can be a great friend. Apparently, Saladin has learned this lesson--can we?
In the last turn i just completed the chops, moved the worker free from the pasture in the usual GL, still with 1 move.
That means I'm pretty much forced in terms of what to do (Road or Cottage on the current square). Then again, I still think that improving the Marble next is the way to go, both so that Risaia can use it and so that we can CONSIDER building The Hagia Sophia and can be READY to build The Parthenon, so no harm done.
If we weren't building a Worker, I'd be tempted to instead irrigate a Flood Plains square, but since we are buiding a Worker, such that Food = Hammers while it is being produced, the Marble square has slightly better output (the same amount of Food + Hammers--1F + 3H--but 2Commerce instead of just 1 from the Flood Plains square).
Last thing, purely aesthetical: i left the name Bombay for the rice city, feel free to rename it. I proposed Risaia. In Italian this means where the rice is farmed
That works fine for me.
VOLUNTEER REQUESTED
Can we get a volunteer to update the test saved game? I have people coming in to renovate my place all of tomorrow, so I won't be able to keep my computer set up. I'll have some time on the day afterwards, so if we can get a test saved game in that time, we'll be golden.
