Turns 21-40

[Wotan]

Looking good guys!
We are in the lead in most areas. 22% of the world population.
Li-Lo founded and set to produce a Warrior since we have finally encountered a Barb Camp. At first F3 did not indicate any activity but immediately Li-Lo was founded it showed signs of Barbs and they did appear on the map too when a Warrior scouted westward.

Next turn a Settler is ready and it will AFAIK go to site A. After that it is a question of how to proceed. I have marked the most obvious sites with 1-4. No priority in numbering them so please comment on which order you like us to found them in. And names...

I can't remember if there is a possiblility to get a tech from settling near a goody hut or not (been playing Civ4 lately). If there is, I would only make sure we adjust settling spot 4 so that we are at the begining of research on a particular tech in case we DO pot a tech.

Yes there is, though the odds aren't great at Emperor. We're more likely to get gold or maps.

 

[ThERat]

I would go for 'A' and then 4, maybe, just maybe we pop CoL and go for the republic slingshot...because you can't pop a tech you currently research

Are the barbs we see the carib ones? If they are, so long as the message doesn't change, we're pretty safe in there.

Yes they are.

Re. Techs; we have a snowballs chance in hell getting CoL from a GH. GH give you the lowest beakervalue tech available. So it will give us CB. If we want to have a higher value one we need to start "4" on the same turn we have finished Philo and can set it to CB while founding the location. Then it is an even race between BW and WC and my memory tells me it will give us BW. Might be wrong but I think it gives you the tech that appears first in the list when two have equal value?
Chances for different things are: Tech 25%, Gold, Settler, Map, warrior 16.7%, City 8.3%
I do not know if the settings are the same as in GOTMs in this game, if so Settler will give a Worker instead?

On order of settling, 1 and 4 are the two easiest to have Warrior support for. 2 Could be an interesting tile as we could use a Curragh to fog bust (I think?)

 

[Tubby Rower]

my vote on order is A, then 4, then it's a toss up between the low corruption of 1 and the excess food NW dot of ?. 2 and 3 seem secure now and we could back fill after that. It's a real shame that the wheat and cows up there are going to go un-used for so long.

 

[Wotan]

Played, one barb down one to go. The remaining barb is now 2 west of Li-Lo and our warrior is on the hill in between.
Settler now on mountain ready to move onto the jungle and found the next town in two turns. Name?
Worker in MS ready in 2. Curragh in LF ready in 3.

I scrolled back a couple of pages and Robi had these suggestions. Along with other political impications in city names that we decided was a bad idea.

Trumps Tower
Abramovics Stadium
Hughes AirfieldIdis Madhouse
Stalins Gulag
Imelds Shoeshop
Queen Vics Slave Emporium
Pol Pots Slauterhouse

 

[Whomp]

I like Imelda's Shoeshop. She had quite a closet. I was also thinking Sugar Daddy but maybe for a non sugar city to throw them off.

 

[Robi D]

Her walk in shoe closet was as big as an average 2 bedroom house

On the game itself with the barbs starting to become a hassle we are going to need to keep a steady stream of warriors being built

 

[Wotan]

Imelda's should be a good site to produce warriors in. At least when comparing to the others we already have.

 

[BCLG100]

It might just be me but around two it looks like there could be a little walkway bit.

 

[Wotan]

We have found the barb camp. Our Warrior will now heal in position and wait for reinforcement before attacking.
Settler in position, will found Imelda's next turn.
We have 25% of the population!!!

George W.'s Guantanamo ?

 

[ThERat]

while I can agree with Imelda or Trump, I don't want to see Pol Pot's name for our cities. What did that guy do but cause misery for so many people...it's quite tasteless to be honest

 

[Wotan]

First the naming process. I agree with ThERat, we should refrain from using any political figures. Imelda is a close call but it could pass I guess but let's stick to public figures like Trump, Abramovic and Hughes.

The save is posted. The Barb closest to our borders attacked and pormoted our Warrior. We now have two veteran Warriors. The one next to the barb camp will R&R until the second warrior has joined him before attacking the barb camp.
Decisions: Next turn the Curragh is ready to move, should it go east or west? We have less scouting capabilities in the east so it seems as the best option? And should the next build be another Curragh or should be build a Settler in between the two Curraghs. The Settler will be ready as LK grows to 5 (10 turns).
MS will either build a Warrior or a Worker in 5 turns.
Next Settler is ready in 2. Still the opinion of the team it should go to "4"? A Warrior in Li-LO will be ready to escort it if so.

Whatever happened to babe names anyways? What about Anna Nicole's diet ?

 

[Kickbooti]

What about Anna Nicole's diet ?

What does methadone and pork rinds have to do with this?

 

[socralynnek]

I vote for Babe/good looking women names!

How about:
