Full Monty

Green has an ivory visible, btw, so he should be fielding WEs very soon. Hopefully, White can do some damage in the interim, and we can avoid another war for some time.

I didn't build any settlers, as you can see. Really should have started on one in Uruk, and I totally jumbled up whip overflow in Horse - was supposed to have a library by now or be close to a settler. We should do a couple now and maybe 1-2 more workers (though I think we're actually ok for having workable tiles).

Gems needs a couple of grass farms, IMHO. I'd stop working gems and get it growing/building on those and banana after we get Alphabet. We won't even get a granary built anytime soon working gems, let alone something like a palace.

I haven't looked at the save yet but kossin is up:

[kossin]

Will take a look tomorrow and post PPP, gotta leave soonish today.

 

[mystyfly]

Had just a glance, looking good. It would be great if we get peace quickly and beeline the barb city. Silu D) how does this work with city names, how come indigo calls his northern city Moscow?

I gave my point about the GG before, I think medic is best.. opinions?

 

[shyuhe]

We should settle the GG. 2 promo units will be invaluable in war and we don't really need a medic until we go on the offensive.

 

[babybluepants]

GG: didn't do anything, as I didn't remember there being a consensus. I'm for settling it, as well. There's no current need for a medic.

@mysty,
The game must run out of Aztec names at some point.

Edit:
We should also convert a.s.a. we make peace, btw. Didn't wanna lose any production or a turn off Aesthetics during my set.

 

[mystyfly]

My point was that we're about to convert anyway and wanna run theo anyway due to the frequent warring and the difference between 5xp and 7xp isn't that great. Settling is ok though.

If the Civ's own city names have run out, a Civ is picked completely at random and their next available city name is used. Sorry, no fancy things to be deduced from the fact that Russia was chosen

GG: settle

We have 1 Archer+worker in danger from a Jaguar. As we can't move a Vulture there in time, Archer gets Guerilla+ move Woody Vulture in the jungle tile in between, and pray that the Chariot doesn't kill either. (36% and 25% odds)

We still have 4 cities to backfill in our land so I'd like to start on 1~2 settlers.

Techs: acquire Alphabet from Indigo and then make Peace (or make Peace right now? not sure it would even work)... afterwards grab Mathematics while going to Currency.

As soon as vultures are freed up, grab the northern barb city.

Need to get some exploration going, a quick Sentry chariot will do that.

 

[babybluepants]

I was assuming we could get peace now.

 

[shyuhe]

Plan sounds good to me. Where are we settling the GG? Uruk? Or the cow/barb city?

 

[kossin]

Just in case Green wants more than Aesthetics right now.

Uruk for certain.

 

[mystyfly]

Settle the GG in Uruk

 

[babybluepants]

Uruk, yes.

 

[babybluepants]

Just in case Green wants more than Aesthetics right now.

I don't see how Alpha helps us, when Green already has it. If he won't take Aest, then we screwed up not following shyuhe's suggestion of a gift settler (or, maybe that's still possible?). We'd probably need to give up Gems, since we can't possibly get any other trade bait before he unlocks elephants. And, we give up on northern barb city by staying at war.

 

[kossin]

In that case I suggest I try buying Peace right now for Aesthetics to see where we stand on this matter.

 

[babybluepants]

Fine with me.

 

[shyuhe]

I think aesthetics should be enough for peace. I haven't looked at the combat log but it sounded like we had good war success.

 

[kossin]

Aye, it's indeed enough for peace. Will leave a day for more comments and play tomorrow I think.

 

[babybluepants]

I built a chariot and a WB. The chariot's in Gems right now.

afterwards grab Mathematics while going to Currency.

We could also just tech PH first. With more cities, we could probably use a few cheap CHs.

As soon as vultures are freed up, grab the northern barb city.

What's our settling order? Do we wanna get the clam south of the barb city somehow?
