We should get out there and make new friends

We so desperately lonely.

>KISSers
>TNTers
>Doughnutters

 

[classical_hero]

We will meet whom we meet.

I have added the Game settings - bottom of first post

 

[fe3333au]

Tubby Rower has just asked a question regarding the legality of reloading of old save files in order to collect F-key infornation ... seems that we have beaten at least the KISSers to forming a Think Tank analysis

 

[fe3333au]

Also regarding the game settings ... these have changed as the map is hand drawn ... also wine gives different bonuses ... check post 1

 

[fe3333au]

Your doing a good job of this. I woudn't be suprised if we have the best intellegance agency.

EDIT & PS: it seems if you check the UN forum that the other teams are only just getting the idea

 

[fe3333au]

Yep I am thinking of adding to the intelegence about other teams ... we can deduce that Dounuts have spawned a settler and that TNT produced a Worker or a Settler

 

[fe3333au]

I've rechecked the map size settings:
80x80 tiles
Land: 1360 (2 continents)
Water: 1840
Total: 3200
water %-age = 57,5%

Thanks Rik ... the updated Game settings can be found on post1

 

[classical_hero]

So Rik actually got it closer to 60% than 70% as we had agreed too.

 

[fe3333au]

Damn I forgot that I posted it twice ... actually I probably eureka-ed it all over the place ... Oh well

 

[peter grimes]

In your report on the Persians, current 8/14, you report:

Turn 8 Population of Dancing Banana dropped from 2 to 1
>> Worker
> or slight possible Settler ... if correct, Top Five Cities will show

I don't understand how a settler is possible. I thought a setter drew off two population points. And how will this be reflected in F11?

Beginning of Turn 13 updated on post2

Bit of a VP shuffle


EDIT -

I don't understand how a settler is possible. I thought a setter drew off two population points. And how will this be reflected in F11?

When the population raises to 3 at the same time the settler is produced ... the 5th city slot will show which is the first team to found a second city ...

And Smoke anyone? ... we have 2 Tobacco up North ...

 

[Kentharu]

maybe our 3rd city should be near tobacco on the river so no adequect (did i spell that right?) would be needed
use 2nd city to get a worker up there faster i assume that we are building our 2nd city on #3 that is east of the river by the wheat right? if we do build our 2nd city where i think we are then it would tak 4 turns if the wheat has a road on it 5 turns if it doesn't have a road maybe 3 if our 2nd city is put further up

 

[fe3333au]

beginning of Turn 14

Not much changed ... but tobacco rich northlands ... and elephants trumpetting on the westward coast

We should sell elephant umbrella stands in the international duty free markets ...

Oh and also push tobacco and related products onto the other teams ... what about tobacco chocolate for the kiddies

 

[Jarom]

Hi everyone,
sorry for my ignorance, but why didn't we take the Barb village ? wouldn't it be empty later ?
