BTS 3.13 (bruic's patch) Pitboss

Most people don't read this forum regularly anyways... getting a live session with 5 people isn't going to work... If everyone else said they could beforehand i might be able to. Last time there were 2+ people not showing up though...
 
grr we both got liberalism on the same turn :/ do you know why you got the free tech?
 
I logged in first? i got more overflow? randomness? or maybe which order we are in the turn? Aka no but i am guessing one of the above. I gotta say i am pretty impressed by managing to catch up to you after being beaten to philo with you having education and me not. One GS later it was alot closer of course. I bet you regret revolting. I think i could have gotten taoism if i wanted but it wasn't worth losing lib over :p.
 
I basically broke even revolting because I got an academy about 7 turns earlier than I would have otherwise by adopting taoism and pacifism, and that added a lot of beakers.... and adopting caste system gave me another turn because i added a ton of merchants and researched at 100% the last 2 turns. So maybe I lost half a turn.
 
ah, and as for you catching up, you have a very nice capital(able to have about 5 more cottages than myself), and other city sites, compared to mine ;p I didn't realize that your land was so good, or I would have been more concerned and perhaps done a couple things to squeeze out liberalism a few turns earlier. I was about 6-8 turns ahead in research around the time of Civil Service, and you made that up through raw beaker output. (we both used a GS to lightbulb)
 
More and bigger cities often lead to faster research and more production. Who would have though? A river or less "dead" titles in my secondary commerce city would be really nice though(7 peaks + lakes!!).

Seriously though you would have won if you used the first GS on academy and the second on education like i did. Light bulb is only dependent on total empire population and that will obviously be bigger later in the game. An academy gives output per turn though which is obviously better the earlier you get it.

You had your tech lead in the start due to me focusing more on expansion than commerce as well as your trait allowing for way larger cities pre-monarchy and hence monarchy and CS earlier(which obviously gives the benefit from them earlier).
 
If we can't make deals or go to war with him wouldn't it make more sense just stop the game till he comes back?
 
Going to AI is just stupid... It is better to have a civ sitting there doing nothing than letting the AI screw up your stuff... That said i am currently unable to access the game(i do have a sub though). So taking down the game would fit nicely...

Is that why you are building axes in our border city?
 
What does axes have to do with anything? They are cheap happiness boosters that can defend somewhat. It is not like they are able to kill longbows or i would be stupid enough to build attack troops in a city without barracks... As i said i do have a sub so i am able to manage my civ even if i can't play.
 
It is ok... Play on.
