I had the same problem with a Macedon save. It's strange that you can start a game with mods, but can't load a save with the same mods. I tried new games with only one mod at a time in an attempt to narrow it down, but they were all failing.

Very nice reports from Avl8 and Deau. I apologize for fading out there for a bit. I've also been a little busy and my free time is currently being wasted on EUIV. Good call on the settler Deau and I like the way you juggled the trades during the barb invasion.:) Edit - I still support going...

My fault... I said GM's, but I meant Great Musicians. Maybe those should be GAM's (Great Artist Musicians) or GWM's (Great Works Musicians)? Anyway, I should have been more clear.:) I would be cautious clearing that camp with two weak melee units. If I played on, I would've backed those two...

Isn't Interfaith Dialog a founder belief? Would we get the science bump for spreading in our own cities? I thought it was only for the founder spreading in "foreign cities" or something like that. Those religious buildings are pretty nice when you only have to buy them in a few cities so...

I guess I have to start by apologizing for the delay. I was away for the weekend (Labor Day here in the States). I had a little plan to do my set on the laptop on Sunday morning and then send the report that night or the next morning when I could get connected. I forgot, however, that we have...

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll play tomorrow morning. I'll probably start the Oracle right away and just throw a couple of turns into a unit, building or caravan until we have the tech. NC really isn't an option right now. The current build in San Paulo is a granary (3 turns left)...

I've got the save. Great report as usual Optional. Also as usual, my turn falls at the busiest part of my week.:lol: Not a problem though. I'm glad you got a chance to play and I hope your back is feeling better. I'll look at the save tonight or tomorrow morning and give everyone a chance...

This is pretty much my opinion. If we're invested in Philosophy, we should try to make the best of it. I'd go Caravan, Oracle in Rio (maybe a turn or two into a granary if the timing isn't right) and granary, library in San Paulo. With Aristocracy, the food caravan, and six citizens in...

I would have went for more settlers too, but this may work out best. The lux resources are pretty weak for expansion. Hopefully we can get it before Wu or Cathy.

Good set MB! I don't have anything to add really. I just wanted to back the plan to beeline commerce and grab Petra for the extra caravan. Working that GBR tile cuts four turns off of Philosophy too. We should have enough gold from selling horses to get the second tile in five turns...

I play SG games primarily to learn, so I appreciate the discussion. I can see that it takes a while to get good production from the combination of food surplus and hammer tiles. Considering the goal is to block off some land asap, I think your plan is the best way to go. I'll let you play now.:)

I really screwed that up. I didn't account for the loss of food either. At the risk of digging myself into a deeper hole, I'll try again: Copper hills only - 8 :c5production: (0 from food surplus), 14 turns. 4 hills - 12 :c5production:, 9 turns. Copper hills w/ farm & pasture - 11...

I should have thanked Deau for motivating me to finally get some clarity about settler production. I assumed that food was always converted at 4:1. Glieze went through the trouble of figuring out the exact conversions last month. Here is what he came up with. Here’s the thread if...

I don't think I've ever fully understood food conversion during settler production. I've lost a lot of turns through hundreds of hours of games by not understanding that. Thanks for the explanation. Just to be sure we're all talking about the same settling sites, I dotted avl8's map. Is this...

Nice set avl8! If you look at the tile yields in the "birds view" cap, you can see the tile E of GBR is only 1:c5food:. I think the 2nd GBR tile has to be 1S of the one we can see. So yeah, I think a city on that riverside plains tile would pick up both in the third ring. I agree that...
