Sorry to everyone for the long wait!
370BC [IHT] Well be locked into a peaceful builders game for a good while now, so infrastructure and workers are a must. We should also actively seek out new lands to settle and to gain resources (primary objective).
I am very happy to see Wonsans worker factory running.
I swap many builds to library. They are cheaper, they produce research (I notice were researching republic at max sustainable, generally I believe thats a bad idea but with libraries, this time can come down), AND more culture than temples. They are a must build for scientific civs, if only to offset the cultural superiority of the AI on higher difficulties.
350BC [1] Kaeson is founded on desert island. One more city is planned there, making it a superfishing island but not much else. Harbors should be built ASAP in the desert cities.
We qualify for the FP now. I think the FP should go either in Cheju (great potential for shields in the future) or Pyongyang (we already have some shields in the city).
Since we gave away lit before the Temple of Artemis completed, there is simply no way for us to get the GL. Itd be pointless to continue building that, but perhaps with proper prebuild management, we could snag another wonder in the Middle Ages. That or we could build that FP in Pyongyang (and fitting too, isnt it, for Korea?)
IBT Our warrior is booted to a nomans land between England and Babylon.
330BC [2] - Chonju is founded.
I spot a Babylonian city on the big northern island. It looks like we will probably only be able to grab 1, maybe 2 cities there.
310BC [3] Zzz.
290BC [4] Zzz.
270BC [5] Library rushed in Inchon, Taejon.
250BC [6] Wines are hooked up! I lower lux by 10% and raise sci by 10%, republic due in 18.
We also have trade routes to everyone except France, and apparently France has no contact with Spain.
We should buy gems from France as soon as we can, and then get rid of lux and put the funds into science.
Library rushed in Ulsan.
230BC [7] Library rushed in Pyongsong.
First galley sets off with a settler to try to grab something from the northern island.
210BC [8] I buy gems off France for Wines, 1gpt, and 33g. We finally lower lux to 0%!
IBT Hastings build the Hanging Gardens.
190BC [9] Zzz.
170BC [10] England has apparently researched Feudalism on its own. Lizzy is now building Sun Tzus.
The Dauntless (eastern curragh) sets off to the east off the coast of the Northern Island, bravely seeking new lands past the ocean!
The Seagod (western curragh) should prepare to do so next turn.
Rushed library in Paegem.
Notes:
Wonsan has been extremely valuable for us, cranking out many, many useful workers. I believe it should build 5-10 more, depending on what everyone else thinks, then begin building infra. Or we could switch it to library quickly, then back to workers.
Seoul is set to build one last settler, due to settle the hills 2E of Seoul to become a fishing village. Since we cant grab land from other civs for a LONG time, it is imperative we use every last tile we possibly can. This fishing village should provide decent tax revenues.
We should definitely fight the culture war against the AI on all border cities.
Pyongyang is put on a starvation diet, set to complete the FP in 9 (dont worry, it wont starve before the FP completes). However, we must decide whether we want it to be our FP city, or to swap it to a wonder (and risk losing production time).
I think Pyongyang is our best bet for the FP, since the location doesnt matter nearly as much as it used to.
Republic due in 10, @ -3gpt. Pay attention to finances (so we dont lose units and buildings) and to brokerage opportunities!
On suicide curraghs on large maps, yep, its definitely a long shot. But thats why theyre called gambits.
