AW Shucks

[pigswill]

Still thinking about lib race. If we're avoiding machinery to part bulb lib what do we take with lib? Nationalism? Gunpowder?

Is the idea to go 100% cash while accumulating GSs?

Maybe launch a golden age with spare GPs.

AW shucks. Everyone has gone.

Yes, I was thinking in term of gambling Lib via bulbing while accumulating enough cash for a quick dagger to the Chemistry route.

The thing about the prize if we take GunPowder, we get strong defenders, but a poor poor in term of beakers. Nationalism is more expensive and leads to TajMahal (at that point, our empire is gonna be gigantic --> stronger GA), but still without strong defenders for flat cities and slower Chemistry.

I think we should focus on only two things: 1) expand to fill as much of America as useful and get all territorities up to speed, and 2) get a tenable defense going.

Nationalism helps (2) by allowing drafting, which is a great deal for producing riflemen. But this requires getting riflemen... I think we should not be distracted by anything that does not get us to cannon and/or riflemen sooner... If lib is a good part of that strategy, that is nice, but we shouldn't pursue it for its own sake, I think..

Pigswill, are you going to play or should we ship you?

R_rolo1, are you still there?

From scrolling back a couple pages I don't think they've posted in the past weeks, so maybe they should be removed from the roster if they don't give a sign of life?

 

[Manco Capac]

If you want, I can take the turnset. It's been a while I saw no life signs here. I find it strange because it is an interesting scenario...even more if we are targeting domination.

It's gotta be a change. I was too much in python and code recently.

 

[astre]

no objection.
Just don't play it too long this time

Lets go to a more free rooster. When a set is finished, anyone can take it.

 

[r_rolo1]

I'm here, but I didn't wanted to pick it from the SG leader below his moustache

Let's give it one more chance . It'd be good to have some form or order, I think, and if people have no time / lose interest they can just be skipped...

Pigswill, can you post a got it and preferably a PPP?

 

[lymond]

Libérez-Coq!

 

[astre]

I don't like roster with one O. I find it mutch better looking with 2

 

[LKendter]

Nobody is playing - AW Shucks.



Sorry, I couldn't resist

 

[Manco Capac]

Liberated c-ck? Lol wut.


Ah yes, I suppose it meant roster ==> rooster. What would do with that freedom if the interests isn't there? Ha!

 

[nocho]

I still prefer to be skipped, so I suggest either rolo or tachy take it.

 

[vanatteveldt]

So I guess we can consider pigswill skipped?

Got it then. Wait for it around Monday

 

[pigswill]

Sorry peeps. I'm still into FFH2 and the only BtS I've played for the past few weeks is in Sgotm. Please skip me. I should have posted this earlier,

 

[r_rolo1]

Ok I just looked at the game and ...

1) What are our tech goals in here ? I see some discussion about going Lib or not , but TBH , I do not think that Lib is attainable. Just look at the religious screen : Tao was founded in 920 AD .IMHO we have at best until 1400 to get Lib and we simply do not have any way of getting it ... I think that setting en masse would be better ...

2) Speaking of which, why are we setting inland in S.America ? I know , it is more defensible that way ( like if we had any chance of defending ourselves before rifles ), but the coastal sites in there are simply better :/

3) Why is Monty still alive ? I know, it is a sink for our EP, but he really isn't teching any better than us...He should had followed Spain to the grave IMHO

Anyway, I assume we want to continue piling some cash ( for what ? ) and try to check out that barb city down there ( I assume that has 3 pop max at this time ). Any other sugggestions ?

 

[vanatteveldt]

I agree that defensibility is silly. A lot of the "Brazilian" coast is not that great, with a lack of food, and I think we have settled all "Guyanan" coastal resources? In argentine, Montevideo is obviously great and should be a priority, and north of that are some more fish iirc.

The central amazonan jungle cities lack food but are all riverside grassland, so once they grow a bit become quite good, and have little maintenance because of the FP in Cuzco.

As I said earlier, I think the focus should be on military/production techs (machinery etc) and on settling SA. I hope that we have enough time to make SA productive before the invasions start, otherwise we are probably doomed anyway.

 

[r_rolo1]

Well, sorry for the delay, but I've been using my computer in the last days to make some video projects and you know how much time editing + rendering 10+ h of video takes

Anyway, I already played 5 turns ( save here ). Will try to end the set tomorrow, though
