General Turn Discussion

You don't see this many barbs on Monarchy either, with a normal map; then again, we do have low sea level and 5 civs with enough space for 7 (8 if you count peaks tiles as normal land, which the game does for barb generation purposes).
 
We need someone to log into the game and take a screenie of the combat results from the last couple of barb encounters; that will tell us whether we have any bonuses. I /think/ we may have a +5% even on Prince.
 
I'm in favor of putting all espionage points on Kaz. Spreading them around before we have anyone’s demographics just wastes time. I would then suggest putting them all on Cav until we get their demos.
 
oh yeah FYI forgot to mention all 3 teams we have met put all 4 of thier :espionage: points into us...
 
I just wanted to chime in that I support one of the previous posters (can't remember who) ideas that we should put all espionage points into Kaz so we can get their demographics a little sooner.

I also wanted to say how thankful I am to people like that who take time out of their busy schedules to help us all play a better game. I just wonder where we would be without such smart, helpful and articulate players like that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Grr.

Stuy is easy, Zuur less so; Stuy can just move SW and out run the barbs until he finds a forest hill to heal and defend on.

Zuur on the other hand needs to get a little lucky now, but could make it to 5XP by the end of next turn.

Move to the ele, and hope the northern barb attacks, it probably should as it won't be forested so the odds won't be too awful for it (about 1%?), and then hope the southern barb does one of the moves shown on the screenshot, because if Zuur isn't horrifically damaged, he can then do one of the corresponding moves in defence. If the northern barb doesn't attack, attack it with Zuur and use the 0xp axe to go after the southern warrior, and leave the 1XP axe to cover the workers.

Using the same methodology as before, I think if both barbs attacked, we'd have about a 68% chance of winning; due to some estimations that work in our favour in the simunlation to get the figures used though, it's probably slightly lower, c. 65%. We also have to take into account that there could be the barb that we saw earlier hiding on the other side of those forests.

We could stand and fight, woody two makes it a worthwhile gamble, but we do need to find Saturn asap, and the 35% chance of a dead explorer isn't going to help that...
 
*tap tap tap* Hello...is this thing on?

Hi, it's me again. About those espionage points...
We are obsessing about every aspect of our game to squeeze the most value out of each opportunity. However espionage spending is proceeding without discussion, explanation or planning. I've brought this up a couple times yet once again we miss our chance to see Kaz's demographics because we are splitting our spending and getting a whole lot of nothing instead. Now if nobody cares enough to discuss this then fine but I'd like to see those demo screens so Memphis, please put all spending on Kaz.
 
OK, OK, all espionage points on Kaz.

Questions:
  1. When can we focus all espionage on another team?

  2. Anyone here know the amount of points necasary for another team to see our research?
 
It stands in the espionage screen. I've lost my BTS disc otherwise i would have screenshotted it


That's the cost for us to see another teams research. So it's also the same cost for that team to see ours?
 
ok so FYI I am in the middle of our turn but not ending it until more diplo discussion / movement happens (i.e. 30 min)

but this was interesting:

wee a barb city. Could we take two axemens (as there is probably two warriors there) and sack it to get more money? It's a bit too remote to keep
 
Barentz could probably kill it by himself...I suppose if we can take it I'll try to make a case for keeping it (devils advocate), but yeah, razing it looks to be a good diea atm considering food resource placements.
 
1 axeman (our one right there) can tke it if it is warrior's. that cash i worth it IMO to see if it is jsut warriors. Also if 2 after the first attack he can promote
