775 BC
Cyros/Amazon has now 10, so they 've builded a court and set a spy.

 

[Trystero]

It could also be that they received and settled a Great Spy from the Great Wall. We should check the event log.

Do you mean 10pts total or +10pts and who is it against?

Edit: How did you figure that out Husch?

I took a look at the events log. No Great Spy has been born, so I think HUSch is right about the Amazon courthouse.

Also, I am starting to wonder where the Mavericks city is. My tile-gazing suggests that if it is near the copper we can see, that tile is in the city's second ring. But why wouldn't they settle more adjacent to the clams and copper?

Edit: I blew up a screen shot of the area. I don't see any hint of Mavericks culture in the tiles south of the copper. Maybe it is 2S(and 1W?) of the copper hill.

If they had a city there which would expand to the copper we'd be able to see hints of their culture already. If they have a city on Bode it won't take the copper until at least the 3rd expansion. Maybe we should consider grabing the extra copper resource before the mavericks can? I don't think it would do all that much good in terms of denying them resources, as they do have iron, but if the copper site is gone they may not have much else to be interested in on Bode leaving it all to us.

Copper city is more than likely a bluff.

 

[AlphaShard]

It looks like it might be a bluff or a settled city they hoped would have copper. At anyrate they have Iron so that supercedes thier need for copper.

Also I was looking at the game tracking thread and I saw a wierdness in Maverick score:

9/2/10 8:34 am obsolete Score increased to 305
9/2/10 8:34 am A new turn has begun. It is now 750 BC

I'm just wondering what would increase their score in the middle of the turn like that? I figure their later decrease is due to whipping something.

 

[azzaman333]

Shrine, new city or bulbed tech are the only possibilities AFAIK.

 

[Trystero]

I looked at that too. They founded a new city (Jumbo City) before they ended the turn, as azzaman suggested.

I have a table with some of the values

CDZ captured Bulgar like we Carib.

I looked at the map and the demo to compute the pop of the other teams.

Maverick has 7 cities, we see 2 (with pop 2; 1) and from demo 57,000 people, so they 've:
3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1

Amazon we know all cities (best from my point of view), so they 've:
8, 6, 4, 4, 3, 2

CDZ has 6 cities, we see 5 (only the Barb not) they 've:
8, 4, 4, 3, 1 and bacon

Quadronia has 7, we see also 5, they 've:
8, 5, 5, 4, 1 and Cygnus and Singularity.

The 3 cities from both has pop 2, 2, 1. I would vote bacon 2.

Then is Merlot
They have 6 Cities and we see nothing, from F9 we know the capital Merlot Castle has pop 11 and from demo they 've 1236,000 people, but I 've problems to solve the problem, I get allways 1,000 people too much. pop 11 is 1051,000 , iE with 5, 4, 3, 3, 2 or 4, 4, 4, 3, 3 ...
perhaps somebody can solve it (help my computing)

 

[AlphaShard]

Actually we do see the Merlot city "The Circus".

 

[HUSch]

Quat has HR in 2 turns, but I can't see horses in their territory, That they haven't mined their iron isn't also understandable.


here a picture of the change in money during the turn

 

[AlphaShard]

Thought all would like to see the first bit of Maverick Territory:

I also finally understand what the whole city name scheme is with Mavericks, they are using ranks as in Gold as their Capital, Silver is second, Copper third and so on.

Here's some more of their cities:

Distribuion of Espionage points, 2 pics
Amazon has changed from 22 to 18, 1 agent less.

[HUSch]

Amazon conquer the merlot city "the library" with pop 2 (+13 GP), merlot lost 2 land-tiles (-35 GP).
