Boff-02 Behaving Badly

[Refar]

It should be displayed as mouseover in the tech tree and tech selection screen.
But i think we don't need to worry. Education, Optics, Gunpowder i think...

 

[Liquidated]

ahh ok so plenty of time thanks.. wish it was denoted on the tech screen. Hope you mean astronomy, not optics hehe.


So uh...

[Corneh]

well ill be able to play tuesday so if KG hasnt posted a got it by then ill take the game back

 

[kgsolomon1]

Sorry busy weekend with the fam. I can play/post tonight, you can continue on Tuesday then. I'll be back in a bit to discuss our future

 

[kgsolomon1]

Alright, so a lot has happened and yet not much...our world is quite boring without being able to harass someone. We need to find the other civs soon! Since two got destroyed already there should be five on another continent, and we need to be able to find them and trade with them soon. I agree with focusing on Lib., but we should get astronomy soon which means optics and calender to be able to do ocean trading.

I agree Sids Sushi would be the way to go, and I think we should def. go for a corporation since our maintenance costs will be reduced greatly by our UB, we just need to ensure that every city has a Rath. Like what was mentioned before we have so many health resources with all the fishies and rice etc. So that means we have to pop a great merchant, but we want one or two more great scientists first.

I agree with what Liq and Sil came up with reguarding the National wonders. Jellystone should get NE and NP for sure, and Nuermberg will do well with Maio, Idonno what else. I think Oxford should go in Aachen, but I guess if Nuermberg gets Maio it could get Oxford, we just need a GS for an academy there.

I will warn you all that I usually don't play far enough to get Wall Street or Statue of Liberty etc. I lean towards cultural victories even though I love warring with neighbors When are we going to decide on a general path because that will also help us decide on what wonders to build or what techs to research.

Aachen is too much a boon for an awesome military pump imo to waste oxford into it. Nuremburg with moai and oxford will own and it can devote itself to beakers, not hammers.

Cheers!

[kgsolomon1]

Alright, so a Great scientist has been born, should I build an academy with him in nuremberg?

 

[Liquidated]

Yap to acad in nurem. Get it out of the way.

Cheers!

[kgsolomon1]

will do, i'll post the report tomorrow morning.

 

[kgsolomon1]

Alrighty then, here we go:

IHT - Did some MM to avoid happy caps, but that's about it.

1160AD - Colosseum finishes in Jelly so I dial up the NE, done in 11 turns...yay to marble. Look to the east and someone pops up:

Stupid Barb archer spawning from the one fogged tile That will end soon once Florence pops its borders. He doesn't look very threatning, but I kept watch anyway.


1170AD - Colosseum finishes in Prague, I selected a monastery...can never have too much culture or science or gold Rath finishes in Florence and automatically switches to a granary. Didn't pay much attention so I just let it go. I watch the archer approach florence and Jake guarding it chuckling at the archer's audacity...Don't you know who you're messing with?!

1180AD - Jake easily destroys the archer gaining a promotion in the process so I give him CRIII and he only has to heal for one turn.

After this I selected optics. I really want to select Music out of habit, but I decided not to. Switch citizens at Jelly and Augs to avoid happy cap until the whip anger goes away.

1190AD -

1200AD - Colosseum finishes in Vienna so I dial up an archer...we need a few more of these to increase our smiley faces! Trireme finishes in Nuermberg so I dial up the Moai...42 turns we'll have to do something about that, not that there is much to switch to for more hammers.

1210AD - Conf. Missionary finishes in Aachen so I send him to enlighten the peasents of Ulm. I start a Rath in Aachen...I know you don't think it will help much but something is better than nothing and I didn't see anything really pressing yet.

1220AD - Prague finishes building the monastery so I switch to a harbor to take advantage of MORE health

1230AD - Vienna finishes training the archer so I send it to florence in case more barbs decide to take out our little town in the east. I select the Shwedagon Paya, although since it will take 50 turns I doubt we'll get it, but being able to switch religion civ's could be beneficial. Augs finishes the temple so I choose a monastery. Refer loved colosseums last set, I love monasteries this set hehe. After sacraficing five of the largest, fattest pigs and toasting the blood to the great confucionists (sp?) of the past, the missionary is successful in converting Ulm.

1240AD - Man there are all these bored workers everywhere, I donno WTH to do with them all! Build roads, can never go wrong with that right?

1250AD - Jelly finishes NE

So I swear I had a screensave...guess not. I must be losing it, I hope it isn't reflecting in my set. Anyway it finishes so I start building another monastery. I remove the engineer and select two scientists, starting it on it's GP Farm status. Once we build a market/grocer we can switch to merchant specialists since we will want one for the corp.

1255AD -

HAHA just kidding, I just had to put something other than NADA.

1260AD - Temple finishes in Mainz, start...yes...another monastery. Guys sick of them yet?

1265AD - OK the real research finishes:

So now that optics is done I chose drama for some theaters and the eventual globe theater. And a great scientist is born in Aachen. I send him to Nuermberg to build an academy. I look over all the citites again and saw I was too much because I should have started a WB after the Rath in florence, so I select one now.

1270AD - Harbor finishes in Prague so I start a caravel. Jelly finishes monastery so I start an archer...that city is way too unhappy for all the great sh*t going for them. I mean they got entertainment, spiritual enlightenment, we freaking saved them from the foul americans...I mean come on already! OK rant over. Academy is built in Nuermberg thanks to the GS. I 1pop whip the WB in florence, it will recover very quickly once I hook up the fishies. I also 1pop whip the rath in Ulm because that has been building there FOREVER.

1275AD - Rath finishes in Ulm, I select a granary. WB finishes in Florence so I send him to the fishies, the border pops, and it continues its granary.

1280AD - Man I'm running out of roads to build!!! we need civil service soon to start irrigation, and we need a settler or two to improve more land, especially since we're at 50%, +10 gpt and all of our cities (Aachen will be done in 9 turns) have raths.

1285AD - Drama comes in, sorry I forgot the screen shot. Chose Calender, hope it's acceptable, and its only 4 turns anyway. Archer finishes in Jelly so I select a theater. I meant to stop here since I already whent a little over, but of course I ended up hitting enter so one more.

1290AD - Monastery finishes in Augsberg so I select a theater and save again. So three turns for calender, most cities are stagnated at their happy cap so remember to MM.

 

[Liquidated]

I'd check the save except well... no save!!



as for caverals did you manage to pop 2, one for the west and one for the east?

Not sure how long it would take to whip a caveral out of florance but well something to think about.. we really want the circum bonus.

Anyway tech path afterwards need to look at the save first I first but on the way to liberalism is always good.

Well save first.

Cheers!

[kgsolomon1]

LOL good lord I'm slacking...I just edited my post and put in the save. No I only started to build one, but you're right we definitely want to be the first so we'll need one for each direction. As for Florence, there is one more fish to work so we could get a WB out quick and then have plenty of food for whipping, but I know you want the 2nd caravel soon...maybe augs or jelly could whip it better.

 

[Liquidated]

well Florance doesn;t need to build the workboat herself, whatever. We really do want two caverals tho however it's done.

Corneh is up in 2 sg's again btw, one with modern war funtime

So you want a skip again or you have time to whack enter a few times Corneh?

Will look at the save tonight regardless.

Cheers!

lurker's comment: I always find it helpful to train two explorers while researching Optics. Then I load them on my first two caravels. I've picked up more than one circumnavigation bonus by unloading them when the caravels run into an iceblock or continent. The explorers can complete the circumnavigation on foot.

 

[Refar]

I prefer loading caravells with missionaries, hoping to find someone to i am able to subdue to my faith

 

[Liquidated]

oh yeah good idea frank... can we even make explorers? lol

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[kgsolomon1]

I think so? That's a great idea though...the explorers.

 

[Liquidated]

meh was just gonna tweak a few things and return the save but man too many things to fix hahah. Mini turn set as I really do not like these trends.

Cheers!
