Fox-05: The RNGod Strikes Back

[ChrTh]

lurker's comment:
Hrmmm...I'm not sure about Ozbenno's punishment. Do we really want him whipping when doing so will benefit the tribal goal (presuming he whips the Parthenon)? I guess the instructions don't prevent it, but it seems fishy to me. Then again, maybe the RNG god works in mysterious ways

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Well, first off, any divine confluence of punishment and objective demonstrate that we are truly in RNGod's favor. That said, whipping the Parthenon, at this point, requires somewhere around 14 population, so probably Ozzy's punishment will work *against* our tribal objective, demonstrating how much RNGod truly hates we minions.

 

[ruff_hi]

No, RNGod has told us to whip the parthenon. Ozzy needs to put a small build in that city, whip it and put the overflow into the parthenon. Sort of like a partial whip. Best to whip in a forge or some other hammer multiplier (if you can).

 

[Ozbenno]

In Warlords though do whip overbuilds go into wonders? Thought that was changed.

 

[ruff_hi]

I think they still do, but they put back the half price hammer yield (or removed the military build multiplier or something like that).

 

[Ozbenno]

Yeah, I think that's it ruff. Anyway, I'll have a report done sometime tonight.

 

[Ozbenno]

We I've got some whipping to do!

First roll up a personal objective.

http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=990935

Its a

3 Learn a tech

It would be nice to get some smackdown happening here.

Well Drama (WTH?) is due in 4 so that can be achieved fairly easily.

Well Beijing has a pop of 8 now. Queue up an axe and a bit of hows ya mother later and 2 pop whipped away.



As for the main objective we've got 38 turns to build Parthenon. We'll see.

Drama is in, personal objective complete



The RNGod demands Literature next.

He also demands we do this.



:thumbdown



Great. Just what I needed. The RNGod p%sses from a great height to blind his followers in a golden shower. All hail the RNGod

Shanghai is re-routed to Aqueduct and Beijing to Library in order to try for Hanging Gardens or Great Library.

Literature is in and library in Beijing whipped (2 pop) with aqueduct in Shanghai (3 pop). Research set to Construction in anticipation of the all might allowing us some throwing rock action

Well both cities are using all available hammers and Great Library due in 36 and Hanging Gardens in 33. I move workers to chop some outlying trees not in BFC.



I played to 460 turns left, which I think is right , with this being the situation in our wonder build fiasco. By my reckoning that gives 23 turns left to complete. There are some trees in the BFC of both cities if we're desperate (well dur)

[GreyFox]

The RNGod sure want us to learn a few tech. All hail the RNGod :kneel:

Too bad abt the Parthenon, I think we are going to fail this one.

I'm not sure if 500AD is right, but if it is 15yrs/turn and considering Rex "accidentally" press enter just once too many, 500AD-290AD=210AD/15=14turns seems like right.

Will grab and play tonight.

 

[vra379971]

You might prefer to play this save...

I roll a 6 and a 5...meaning that I am supposed to get 15 exp points. Funny, but oh well, one must try.

Turn 0: All's well - except for our goals. Thank you RNGod!

Turn 1: We are truly hopeless. Lovely.

Turn 2: Shaghai's cultural prowess has expanded...

Turn 3: Hanging Gardes has been built. Just not here.

Turn 4: I decide to attempt to fulfill my quest, and consider Mongolia ripe for the picking.

Turn 5: ...For this reason, I attack the city of Samarquand, and win with the sword, taking it down quickly. The city gets autorazed, and I pick up 2 points.

Turn 6: Construction soon in, which is great as we need Cats.

Turn 7: Construction in, I trade Drama for Monotheism - Revolt to OR.

Turn 8: An offensive axe rolls up at Bantu and I chop the Axe down, getting two.

Turn 9 and 10: Alot of shuffling toward my next target, New Sarai, we don't need jungle cities atm.

Turn 11: The chariot (which is renamed Royal Exploratory Chariot) survives a barb attack, and I pick up two. At new Sarai I pick up a few more, as the Axe and Sword win at high and decent odds respectively.

Turn 12: Hannibal adopts Vassalage, so he now has longbows.

Turn 13: Started to move south for the next attack...

Turn 14: Moved our small stack together...

Turn 15: Metal Casting in six turns - GE in 8. The Gl was completed eariler by the Incas and we missed...

So yes, that's the show ya'll.

Here's the save.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/25465/Fox-05_AD-0755.CivWarlordsSave

My punishment is to whip away two pop. My only comment is the GE will give us a wonder in time, and continue to thrash Mongolia (don't take too mant cities) and work toward Courts I think.

 

[vra379971]

On a side note, I have a mother up for trade. Perhaps I can offer her up to the RNGod.

 

[GreyFox]

vra, I see no save, and frankly, I am getting a bit weary of your "play-soon"-yet-no-report-in-3-days behavior. School-work should have priority over anything, but you should be responsible enough to ask for a swap or skip if you can't play-and-report within the stipulated period.

Paul, go ahead and play-and-report using ozbenno's save whenever you are available.

[vra379971]

Yeah, I can't say how apologetic I am right now.

The full story is this. I wish school had been the problem. Exams are now over...but it's not.

My mom is under alot of stress lately, and I get to be collateral damage. So, time I expect (and is supposed to be mine) gets taken up by her sudden, and sometimes irrational demands and misplaced focus. At least, in my opinion. I'd swear I didn't buy this computer sometimes. So, when I say I expect to play, I really do expect to be able to play. Just lately, things have been generally happening both in and out of my house, such as the transit crash runing my commute plans ysterday evening.

 

[omni_paul]

Sorry to hear about the RL issues vra.

Vra's save is there now, so I'll scrap the report I did on Ozbenno's, and play vra's. Won't be able to do it until tomorrow though.

EDIT: Fox, if you get a chance b/w now and then to do one of your marvellous summaries, I'd be eternally grateful.

 

[GreyFox]

Ask and ye shall receive!

It's your choice, paul, to report using ozbenno's save or play again using vra's ... afterall, vra did indeed reported late.

vra, are you obsessed with the number 17? By my calculations, you have again played (755-500/15)=17 turns instead of 15. Which means we only have 6 turns left, and the GE in 8 won't help. We need to complete the wonder on 860AD.

[omni_paul]

I'll play vra's. No sense wasting a good report, even if he did play 17 turns

Gotcha. Guess I'll do my best to hurry that GE along with some specialists and hope we have something to build with him/her/it!

 

[GreyFox]

Actually, I myself made a calculation mistake somewhere ... we have 45 turns to complete an objective starting from 185AD, 15years per turn means we have until 860AD. So it should be 7 turns actually from 755AD. (still not enough though) ... so, paul, just stop at 860AD instead of counting turns. (EDIT I don't mean stop, I mean the objective's time's up).

 

[omni_paul]

Ugh forums down all day!

So wait, I much prefer to think in turns. I have 7 turns left to make a wonder? I might be able to do that if I'm due a GE in 8. If I pile on the specialists in that town it might bring him on more quickly.
