Wouldn't you like to know

It's the blue pill. The last 2 screenshot is just the first turn of the red pill

So, our very confused take us down the tunnel of the rabbit hole ...

If we intent to use Brennus for the current objective, we had better prepare some ships. Else, it will be the final countdown with Huayana.

got it - but you will have to wait until I arrive in Korea for a report (some time Monday morning US EST time).

I am very disappointed with this game. Both Epics are in Beijing even though it is hammer poor. The Heroic Epic should be in a HAMMER RICH city. Where is the Iron Works? What, not started!! What about Wall Street? Oxford Uni? No wonder the RNGod sends us horsehockey luck ... you do know that he is expecting us to pull our own weight in some areas and not just rely on him (or silly coloured pills).

Also, who set up Karakorum? It has a non-irrigated Wheat and Rice just sitting there doing bugger all. That is 2F per turn that we are just wasting.

And has anyone done anything about our Tribe Objective yet? No! Too much time just dreaming and taking drugs.
[/Fox]

Wow - what a rant! First things first, personal objective. Roll dice and ... a 7! 7! Yes 7. How? I don't know it just came out 7. Ok, look up list of things and 7 is not on the list. Look harder and find this in very small text.



Hmmn - ok, wonder what that means.



Right - personal objective complete. Now for the tribal objective ...



That's right. I had 4 works build a pointless cottage (ie not in a city radius) and then one of our knights pillaged it. As Rex would say ... rinse, repeat. Tribal objective complete on turn 470. Unfortunately, I didn't have internet access so I didn't roll up a new tribal objective.

Other things that I did ...

• burnt the Great Merchant for 3750 gold
• turned up the tech rate to 100%, -360 gold per turn (last 5 turns only), ran at break even (70%) prior to that
• signed a defensive pact with Mehmed
• started spreading Confucianism
• revolted to Confucianism (relationship improvements with Mehmed and others)
• Started Iron Works in Guangzhou (someone should reconfigure this city to max hammers - that means farms on grasslands, workshops on plains, etc - I don't care if it already has towns on some of those grasslands, that was a mistake and should be fixed)
• Whipped a uni in Karakorum for 4 pop and started Oxford Uni
• irrigated the wheat and rice at Karakorum
• Learnt Industrialism and Fascism
• Traded Fascism to Mehmed II for Liberalism, world map and 520 gold
• Traded Assembly Line, Physics to Tokugawa for Military Tradition, Democracy, Biology, World Map and 30 gold
• Set research on Electricity (but no beakers invested so can be changed)
• forgot about the Great Engineer - there are only National Wonders available. I would suggest we burn him to complete West Point (+4XPs) in Guangzhou (Ironworks due in 10)

Permanent Alliances? Hmm ... I see ruff is trying to savage a win here .... eh?

Didn't knew you can pillage your own cottage ... so now we are out of a tribal objective, eh? The RNGod will be most displeased ...

And damned ... how did I got my name synonymous to ranting?

holy crap! you really can. i thought ruff was pulling our legs, but i tried it. man, that was way easier than attacking someone.

Well, at least you 2 have a better excuse than me. I knew we can pillage our own cottage, but the thought completely flew over me

GOT IT!

I'm actually keepign an eye on this.

Been busy and was waiting for turn.

Roll us a new tribal while you are at it, vra. That is, if you take the blue pill.

GreyFox said:

Click to expand...

roll one either way. I pillaged many an incan cottage while playing the red. That is, if, by "pillage", you mean "nuke". Same result.

Wel, I took the Blue pill (and it as bitter very bitter.)

I rolled a 10 which means we have 3 wars or spread 3. We have 50 turns.

We also have 4 for personal. Spread a religion. Hail to the synergy.

Playing now...

Okay folks, no pictures, because it's 3 Am and a very boring turnset in some respects.

The unit report is that I evacuated Transports and sent it all to the cities around the Incan lands. The other half of that is they have alot of troops. Still, we can win a war vs them.

So, I spread my religions and completed both personal and tribal.

The notible points...

Toku wanted Facism for Com and we had to add 2.2 or so gold. Pfft. No way.
Hannibal wants us Hindu. No way in hell!

The Annoying Incan (Tm) builds the last Thruster and the Docking Bay!

So, I make a big gamble...I burn a Scientist and head to Fission! Mehmed WILL sign a PA with us as soon as we share a war or DP for long enough. So, we can break the DP and DOW on Brennus, dragging Mehmed with us, with mgiht do it (and give us techs we need to DOW on the Incan).

Or, we wait out the DP maturity time.

Thoughts?

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/25465/Fox-05_AD-1876.CivWarlordsSave

I assumed you had at least spread to one city to fulfill your tribal.


Hmmm ... aren't we suppose to PA with Incan instead?

okay, first, no, we can't win a war vs inca. trust me, we had free tanks, free nukes, and free stealth bombers, and it still was tough. second, i remember that the dp has to last for 40 turns (adjusted for speed setting) before pa is available. i don't know if that's true, outdated, whatever. either way, it does take a while. but still, unless it's with inca, how will a pa win us this game? has anyone else built a spaceship part?

whatever, all of this is speculating on what we ought not to. let's get back to random objectives. that's our victory as laid out in the original rngod game.

Are we expected to win, or just appease the RNG? I think a variant win means never failing a goal. Who cares if Mansa launches a spaceship. Did he do it with the RNG's permission?

I am actually trying to see if we can win without a long-term planing. But yes, I would think we would have won if we fulfilled every objective set down by the RNG. If Mansa launched, that means the RNG hates him and wants him off this world!

gospel, folks. you can't argue with it.
