K-mod Deity Fun -- Collaboration of SGOTM teams

[drewisfat]

Ice token city is risky. You're assuming you can safely escort it towards him, and you're assuming you have enough war score that he will accept the city for peace. And then as was stated, he could DoW you 10 turns later, and be all that much closer to you.


Also with the war you've turned your attention away from the western end of your empire. Look at Lonely Stone. Lonely Stone is about 30 turns away from being renamed to just Lonely.
It's next to a holy city, and a new city due west of it. Persia's KMOD culture will overwhelm the stone and the city will be outdone by Persian culture immediately, and then it's only a matter of time before Persia border pops. I'd recommend monument / library build in the city asap.

I think the ice token city is our only chance. We can use the galley to transport it to a useless place.

Will make some final adjustments and play a bit tonight.

Any votes for culture building in Lonely Stone as suggested by drew? I'd rather stick with another Worker for now

We don't have to decide right now for the token city

 

[Folket]

I think Lonly stone is lost. But maybe we can delay it with some culture.

If we can get away with building culture there it is preferable.

 

[soundjata]

Holy city culturally threatening stone city is unfortunate.

I'd agree producing culture buildings if that keeps us the stone.

Another option is to gift this city to Sury. Can we?

 

[pomthom]

Ok actually I will put a Monument in Lonely stone just to delay a bit and try and put the chops in at least.

Ok for Walls in Ice Bullion and I'll try to time a Warrior to get a Spear IBT after connecting the Copper

Starting to play....

 

[pomthom]

Ok we are now Jews which makes Darius pleased even though we beat him to the cool food spot:

Darius and De Gaulle have just reached Alpha:

A bit of fireworks, De Gaulle just declared on Darius!

On the war front, Sury might be moving in 2 extra Chariots:

Save attached.

Any reason to change plans? Any suggestion?

 

[soundjata]

Are you sure a granary goes before a monument in pig city?

Culture in stone seems to be improving in our favor ATM. There might be hope

(China/Persia) culture City Tile Stone Tile
Turn 79 30/69 29/70
Turn 81 32/67 31/68
Turn 85 34/65 33/66

The fact that numbers indicate our minority culture and the tiles still belong to us seems rather buggy though...

 

[pomthom]

^^ Yeah I think Granary first then whipping Monument is the superior (and who knows we might even have an auto-spread )

 

[pomthom]

Played 2 more turns, save attached.


Sury is grouping his 2 Chariots to his SOD:

Spoiler :

I galley'd an extra Archer to Ice Bullion, but I'm not sure what to do.


I had to decline this stupid request:

Spoiler :

12H are banked in a Warrior in Beijing so we can resume next turn to pop a Spear IBT.

Not sure what to build in Sweet Copper.

Darius land:

I personally think culture mechanisms is much better in this mod. Culture is so much more important.

As for us owning tiles. We own them because city borders do not expand faster then in the original. Once Darius borders expand he will take the tiles.

 

[Duckweed]

Nice going, pomthom.

The 2 chariots could trigger some unpredictable movement after they merge with the major stack. You might need to test a bit.

As I tested before, the stack would try to attack through the gold hill when another major stack is coming.

The worst case is that the stack goes through the right side of the mountain to capital. I don't know the condition of triggering this.

One possible case is that they might try to break through north. If we want to prevent this then we need to move 1 archer out from the gold city this turn and strengthen the defense on the PH tile next turn. 3 archers in gold city should be enough with the wall.

DG DOWed Darius might not be a good news, he is already the tech and land leader, if he cap Darius, ....

Will take a look at the save tonight.

Edit: not much to add besides the war part above, copper city needs a unit soon, the warrior in stone site should move back.

 

[Duckweed]

Looks like most of you lack of interest or lose the confidence.

I don't have much time and enthusiasm recently, but might take it over later, to the position whether we are desperate (losing capital) or pass over the crisis.

 

[kossin]

I'm having availability issues, sorry.

 

[Mitchum]

Ditto. That and a minor Civ burnout issue...
