Why is MIA dropping then?

Why is MIA dropping then?

Lack of 4 turn settling knowledge?

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

For that reason, I almost like the way we got diseased. it'll take more time before they realize the 4 turn settling and start having (deserved) concerns.

Btw, was the map hand or cpu built? If it was hand-built, I'd expect them too to have very good starting positions, which might throw odds back a bit.

 

[Daghdha]

Map is hand built and MIA already knows we have a 4 turner. we told them when arguing about the value of pottery.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Here is the updated score difference chart. for through turn 36

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

oh my. we're winning? the simple people?

 

[Tubby Rower]

only in points per turn and that can change any time

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Score isn't something we should ever be worrying about, except for intel purposes. We're like the Raiders... Just Win Baby!

 

[Tubby Rower]

OK here is the new F11 stats. I guess TNT's strategy has worked for now.... We were bumped from 2nd to 3rd in the turn they did the deed in Mfg goods (total unwasted shields).

I also found out (by comparing stats with MIA) that in disease the lower the percentage the higher the rank...... MIA has 15% and is ranked 3rd. So that means that TNT probably has less FP in his borders now.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Here's the score graph for the past 12-13 turns.

Rates of change
Us - 4
D'nut - 3
Mia - 3
TNT - 2

wasn't worried about the score, just amused

 

[Daghdha]

That's nice considering we've had some disease and have sent a settler half way round the world. The Celts are moving on up.

 

[Daghdha]

Score:
Pre turn
TNT-162
Nuts-143
KISS-142
MIA-140
Post turn
TNT-164
Nuts-146
KISS-145
MIA-142

world pop: KISS 25%, MIA 16%

 

[Tubby Rower]

I still can't believe that we are STILL first in land area. once we start getting settlers out (1st one is due next turn) I don't think that anyone can catch us in that area. I'll update the Monday probably. unless something jumps out at me.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Hmm, we only went up 3 points this turn (it's been 4, hasn't it?).

Also, Springfield isn't growing this turn. Don't know if it matters at all, just found it interesting.

 

[Pentium]

D'nuts are in war, so they probably MM'ed it for max production. Good news for us

 

[Tubby Rower]

RE: point difference - It could mean that the "per turn" scores are starting to average out. we haven't been gaining territory in a long while so that could explain the "slight" leveling off that our score graph is showing now. Like Bugs said. Score isn't that important right now.... just a stat.

Nice catch about Springfield not growing. I didn't even notice the color difference. I wonder if they are ramping up for war or just using specialists.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Using specialists ?! That would be nonsense. Working several forest tiles for higher prod would be much more sensible though.

 

[Kickbooti]

Capitol Switching.

Okay, this discussion is somewhat new for me. Obviously I have changed my capitol during SG game to minimize corruptio/maximize commerce once my growing is basically done; but what is the deal with abandoning your capitol this early?

I figured there is a Geek/Numbers rationale behind it, so I thought I would pose the question here.

I mean, you're looking at a max of four cities at this point, right? What's up with dumping one of them now?

 

[Tubby Rower]

Using specialists ?! That would be nonsense.

yeah and so would jumping your palace at a critical point in your expansion
