lurker's comment:
Careful with the overspending. It is a little early to be buying on credit (and especially when you lack a third party to trade it off to) and you don't want to be feeding the beast on the other side of the table. The slower the tech pace the better in a cultural game. Perhaps the better choice would have been to take the war to the Maya until you could get Polytheism for nothing, or a smaller all cash payment.

It is true you don't have much to spend the money on now but better to build the kitty for when those much more expensive techs appear, or when you can build embassies and start honing your theft skills.

 

[fe3333au]

I prefer to stay with the constraints tightly binding ... I am enjoying the challenge of no research

I guess building the Great Library would be the top wonder on our wish list ... if not explain please

 

[scoutsout]

Ooooh... Harriet couldn't bring herself to twist the knife. From here things might get a little amusing... Smoke-Jag now has a nice number of spear-chuckers handy...and he didn't get to trip his GA during our war. This means that when the time comes for the next war, he will have more cities (and perhaps iron connected) for a more productive GA.

We need to make it a priority to get iron connected. We probably should avoid building a bunch of warriors, as we'll need the gold to buy tech. Shuffle spears to the towns on the Mayan frontier - all other shields should go to the best offensive unit available.

Bede mentioned buying on credit... I don't think 6gpt is such a bad deal... a bigger problem is that Smoke-Jag is now in a better government... and the AI always exact a pretty penny for government techs. We should save every shilling towards buying monarchy from him. The only other 'must have' techs are the ones that lead to floatie thingies. I shudder to think what it'll cost us to buy Monarchy at monopoly.

Speaking of gold... since we'll be paying monopoly prices for tech, we should place top priority on gold. Citizens should be put on the best commerce tiles, even if it means slowing down some builds. We need lots of roads... which means more workers.

We'll need a ton of workers to irrigate all those plains tiles SW, and to hack our way out of the jungle to the NE. If we get those worker parties going, we might even be able to spare a few for expansion... roading parties covered by a sphear might help keep our settlers moving.

We should probably build the FP soon as well... preferably in a riverside town that has room to grow. Whomper Room might develop into such a site, though it's so far from the capitol that it might not produce 2spt until it gets its 3rd or 4th citizen... I hope I'm wrong about that.

 

[Whomp]

Building ToA as Ansar suggested is remote since it costs 500s in the AA and will expire with education. The Glib is even more remote since we have a trading partner who refuses to research alpha but instead beelined for a war government. On top of that we don't know anyone else.

The other continent likely has a speedy research pace and now that the dutch have been eliminated there's a possibility we have a AI runaway on our hands.

The only thing I disagree with Scout on is the government type. If the Mayans finish the pyramids conquering this city should be our #1 priority. Grans in every city will give us a very powerful pop rush capability for our culture goal. If this happens I'd think despotism and feudalism would be our government choice over monarchy. Sacrificing population will be easier than sacrificing gold. Gold for trading and maintainence of our buildings and pop to build our buildings.

Strange as this may sound we can win this game with Keshiks and swords fighting against landings from overseas cavalry. Our goal is culture and these are the most critical techs for us (along with alpha). The rest are almost secondary so let's drive a hard bargain on them.
Got the knowledge
Temples - 60s/2cpt/1g upkeep (CB)
Need the knowledge
Libraries - 80s/3cpt/1g upkeep (Literature)
Colossems- 120s/2cpt/2 upkeep (construction)
Cathedrals- 160s/3cpt/2 upkeep (monotheism)
Universities- 200s/4cpt/2 upkeep (Education)

I got it and may even try to draw Smoke back into a war once we've hooked up iron.

 

[gmaharriet]

I'm sorry if I spoiled the war plans. I thought we wanted to continue the war because he wouldn't sell tech at any price. When he was willing to sell, I made peace.

If you only want techs free in exchange for peace, ya gotta spell it out for me in itty bitty words.

 

[Whomp]

Gram no issues since it will give us time to get the iron hooked up. Once that's done so is Smoke. Maybe Scout and Bede will confirm but there are only a few techs that are "must have".

lurker's comment:
Literature and Ceremonial Burial are really the must haves. Colesseums, Cathedrals and Universities are nice to haves if you can build them early enough.

Obviously the warmaking knowledge (Iron, HBR and Feudalism) is important too, but Whomp is right that a good combination of the "best you can field" will keep the AI off your shores at least long enough to close out a cultural victory.

Keeping control of your continent is the most important job as that will give enough space for the tightly jammed towns full of prayerful readers collecting taxes.

 

[gmaharriet]

Literature and Ceremonial Burial are really the must haves.

So that also means alpha and writing. I will keep that in mind and discuss with the team before buying anything else.

The only cultural game I ever played was on Chieftain and I just built all the great wonders. I'm starting from scratch again here. Thanks for all the input everyone!

 

[gmaharriet]

Sorry for the second post, but I just thought of another issue that I'm not sure how to handle.

At the "turn of age" when the barbs increase, if they can get to one of the cities and if you have a large amount of gold, they take bigger handfuls than if you only have a little. How is that planned for if we're saving up gold for techs?

Well... it could get a bit tough... a combination of archers and spears (or swords) might be able to hold off a fair number of barb horses if they hold high ground... which reminds me of a certain hilltop we'll need to settle...

But unless we do a whole lot better at settling than I think we will, we're going to face a few raging hordes. I think it'll be more important to protect our settlers than to protect our treasury.

Edit: Straight west of IronGold is a hill (on the other side of the lake). Let's settle that hill. If we can settle there and control that choke point, we can make it a lot more difficult for ol' Smoke Jag to settle up there.

 

[gmaharriet]

The one with the northern archer standing on it? or the next hill just north of him next to the barb horse?

 

[Whomp]

Well I played before Scout posted on settling the choke. Instead I did a little dance with some JT's and our archers at the choke. So here's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Pre-turn: Mess with a few tiles.

IT Hoo Nelly those JT's are all over.
Kazan worker-->worker
Rumble T gran-->worker
730 Scout's Iron Bluff established next to the iron. Aryan horsey appears out of the darkness.

IT Well that horse fortifies but another moves out west in front of our archer. That's cool because I wanted the JT to step in first now no need.
Animal Farm gran--chariot
710 Start a chop a Kazan to get water to the city. Our elite archer is flawless taking out the horse. Hey check it out. Smoke has HBR. Buy it for 351g since he won't do it for 18gpt. Not sure we want gpt with Mr. J. Switch a few builds to horseys.

IT Horse near Scout's Iron Bluff attacks archer Ansar Khan on a mountain. Nice work Ansar no damage.
Capital Crone settler -->horse
Rumble Teddy worker --> settler
Academy worker --> temple (changeable)
690 Lazy days

IT snoozer
670 Elite archer who I forgot to name knocks off the Polynesian camp flawlessly for 25g.

IT do the JT dance
Ironic worker --temple (changeable)
Head that way worker -->temple (changeable)
650 Ansar? Doood! You got whacked by a stinkin' warrior on flatland. You'll be back brah.

IT .....
630 Iron is hooked up. Change Capital Crone to sword.

IT Capital Crone sword --> settler
Rumble Teddy settler --> sword
Fumbahliah gran -->worker
610 Old Eagle Eye takes an Aryan camp for 25g. Cape Bede is established on the 2nd horses (bg's, river, hills, mountains) set to Forbidden Palace. Hey check it out.

Done for 348g.


Switch Bananarama and Lurkerborough to floatie things next turn. Kazan gets one in 9.

IT Floatie thing and Admiral's Revenge finish and temples are started in Bananarama and Lurkerborough. Madviking finishes a worker -->temple (changeble)
590 Move our warrior out of Kazan in case the horse comes after our worker 3 tiles away.

IT Lots of barbs up north!
Barb galley attack floatie thing and Floatie losses a hp.
Irongold horse -->worker
Fumbalayah worker-->rax
Animal Farm horse--> temple (changeable)
570 Move the horses and a spear up north. Take a Kashan Camp for 25g with 2 damage. Warrior whacks the horse but redlines.

IT barbies on the grill Some stuff finishes but I forgot to write it down. Distractions and all.
550 Horses and spear are in position to protect our north. Do the dance again with the JT's.

SUMMARY We got some floaties, iron and horses. Life's good. I did some crazy stuff with tiles so be careful. Lots of growth coming on the turn so I adjusted accordingly. Unfortunately, we still have only one bonus food so the capital is the only consistent settler maker at this point. There's a possibility at Academy Idiotecha.

and the dance...

the barbs up north...

 

[gmaharriet]

Looking good, Whomp! I'm glad to see our borders are filling in toward Kazan, because it sure seemed a very long ways away when it first popped from a hut. Great getting those techs!!! We need to give Smoke our shopping list of what we want.

lurker's comment:
Inneresting, verra innneresting

Skim those settlers in any town that will grow to three by the time the settler is trained, depending on the capitol to train settlers will set you back. Use the capitol and any other productive town for horsemen and swords and skim a settler when it gets to six. I don't see a lot of available luxuries so growth past seven will be a problem. New towns should train a worker, then go into growth mode to whip either a granary or a temple. Reverse the thinking a little, put granaries in low food towns, temples in high food.
