Infinite City Sprawl 03 - Divine

"Well I have discovered a new rule number 1 for SG's, don't come home and find your wife using your BTS DVD as a coffee mat. (No I am not joking!!)

Ok, you have my sympathy ;)

P.S Can I spread this one to everyone I know? :lol:
 
:rotfl::lol:

This is great :goodjob: No, honestly, who of us would honestly expect something even similar to this?! :lol:

Feel free, the best part was the explanation of "well when I sat down there was nowhere to put my Mug and you didn't want a ring on the desk did you!!"

Well, now back to the game:

I think we should adopt confucianism and switch delhi to a mine so the archer finishes in one turn. Then we start a settler which we'll whip for 2pop. This should be done whithin 5 turns and we'll switch back to NSR ASAP. Also, leave slavery when there's no need for it.
We can have delhi build archers/chariots on full hammer configuration while regrowing slowly (HIRE SOME PRIESTS!!) to wait for whip anger to fade away. Then, once it regrows, we can pump out settlers/workers again. Keep in mind, we REALLY need workers. Probabely send one with the settler escort towards pacal??

MM-rant: Bombay is working a 2F tile while it has a 2F1H tile :hammer2: :p

I think that lincols is sufficiently blocked (for the moment). We should try to get 2 cities towards pacal so he can't sneak by. Best are cities near those pigs (there where the river goes north). I'm a bit considered that hamm is so close to pacal. Maybe that makes pacal settle towards hammurabi??
After the two cities blocking Lincoln we'll either want stone city (high priority) and probabely a city N of the barb city. Try to fogbust as much as you can.

We need to get those GPP going so we don't lose the AP and get the shrine up sometime soon.

:jesus: funded in 850 BC :run:, I think we should forget everything ATM and go for the AP; get monotheism from a trade with someone, build the temple in delhi, run a priest and start prechoping forests at the AP-build-city. I propose Vijayajaaa for this purpose as it has the most forests around it. Also geting maths somehow would be very nice.


I really like the religeuos mixture; 6 AIs having 4 different state religions isn't someting you can see every day.
I don't like our border situation ATM; Lincoln is "blocked" by that barbarian city, but I don't think that those few barbarian archers will keep a deity AI from capturing the city. Also the land in the east is full with barbarian cities and Pascal is also looking at "our" land. So why do we actually want the stone city ATM, the AP doesn't get the :hammers: bonus from the stone and I think we can settle the city later.
 
:jesus: already in game... thank god it was Pacal that got it ( He's the only one that can research DR ;) ) )... we have a little more than a snowball chance in hell of getting the AP this way ;)

I agree with qwertz ( nice name to write BTW... but that z in the end ... :nono: :lol: ): chop/whip temple in Delhi and hire priest , get mono somehow, get a nice forested spot ( 3 N or 3 W of Delhi looks decent ), prechop like crazy and get the AP in extremis ( I've seen this somewhere.... ;) ).

Barbs have really bad taste in settling spots in this game :lol: none of their cities is on grid.

BTW, we need metals :p
 
that vijajajaja city has copper, but needs some confu to pop borders
3 east (between dehli and vijajajaja) has iron
 
nice name to write BTW... but that z in the end ... :nono: :lol:
I'm really sorry for the one letter; I originally wanted to get "qwert" too, but it was assigned already, so I had to add the z :(



back to the game: So do we want an additional city ATM? if so, where should we get it? 3E, 3W, 3N, another blocking city to the east?

Courthouse at bombay???? this city is so close, we don't need it now.

Linc goes conf :woohoo: This is a huge boost!

Techwise I'd have preferred wheel > mono and run some priests but no biggie. We can time GP with mono (and so switch away from pottery probabely.

I think the "stupid thing" when writing this name is that, on the right side of the "t", there is "y". Boys, you really should use the swiss sheme (dunno the correct word for this :D), it seriously rocks :coool:

More comments after looking at the save, after training.

BTW ssmage: for uploading pics I suggest photobucket. Google it, sign up, upload :goodjob:
 
I meant that the english (or american more likely...) "y" is where we have the "z", meaning if you'd write your name with an american keyboard (typing the same keys), you'd get "qwerty".

You got it, I am an American and it is "qwerty" for the top letter row on the left.
 
Had a look at the save:

- As mentionned earlier we don't need a courthouse in bombay. It only costs 2.2gpt maintenance. As it is close to completion, you can whip it in 2t for 2pop.

- Delhi still doesn't have any priests slots. We need that temple (in construction). We can only whip it for 1pop, and we have already 18turns of whipping-:mad: so I think we should finish it the boring way (work those mines!). Delhi currently works 2 farms and the cows. It is so close to the (small) :) cap so it should work the mines and hurry the temple. Once it's complete, hire a priest ASAP.

- We have only very few land. I think Delhi should build another settler (for a city 3S of Vijay to block Pacal) and bombay builds chariots/axes (connect copper ASAP) to raze those barb cities. We badly need every city spot we can get. Don't forget to carry a settler for every barb city we raze or the AI will get those spots.

ok, I think I get it now :lol:




It's geting a bit late here, I think I'll better play it out tomorrow morning.
 
I won't be able to post until Sunday evening, so I if come up before then, then feel free to swap me. (Maybe RJ will have a new disc by then?)

Bombay needs to be MM back from forest-grass to just grass. Otherwise it won't be able to whip for 2 pop in 2 turns (we have double production speed for courthouse)

I think we should give Priesthood to Mehmed (and something else if he is still Annoyed) so we can trade CoL for Monarchy

We need workers - forget more cities for now, we won't be able to pay for them. I don't know how much myst likes to use cottages, but we need at least a few in the short term to pay for our economy.

Back off-topic, here in the UK, we use QWERTY as well.

It's not about whether I like them (I don't :lol:) but we need 'em. Delhi could easily work cottages, however it delays other improvements even further. Probabely cottage 1-2 grassland (riverside if possible) tiles near delhi?
