Got it.

I'll look at the save later and post a PPP.
 
Hmmm, with the GLH coming in soon, Currency is not so important as it usually is.
But, it is still the best tech to get next methinks.

With 3 (or 4) trade routes per city, we must ensure they are good trade routes. Can I suggest webuild a few boats and send them out exploring.
 
I wouldn't count the GLH chicken until it has hatched. Qin is in the game, remember.
 
Libraries? Really, IO? Libraries? In one- and two-pop cities that don't even have granaries!?

What the hell are you smoking, man? It's like I have to clean up your mess every turnset!

Alright, PPP:

Math -> Currency

Rename Cerulean because it's spelled incorrectly.

Get Cerulean, Lavender, and Viridian on Granaries and Growth.

Vermillion: Granary -> Boat

Get Pallet on a boat of some kind as per Neil's suggestion. A lighthouse is near-useless there, IO! It has no seafood! And we're not Financial! Nor do we have the Colossus!

Should I 2-pop whip the Great Lighthouse right away, wait for it to become a 1-pop whip, or chance the remaining 4t slow build?

If you looked at the autolog, you'd realize that the only building I started was a granary in Vermilion City. I didn't start any libraries at all. And for the record, pot.

Sounds good.

Once again... I didn't start the lighthouse. You really need to learn to read, Matrix.

I'd say 2-pop whip it. We NEED that lighthouse, IMO.

Briaaaaaaan! *hits brian with a codfish*

PS: Sorry, IO. I tend not to read logs.
 
Normally I hate whipping wonders, but if we don't get it, it will really cost us in the long term.

As the Devo would say WHIP IT, WHIP IT GOOD.
 
Yeah, a 2 pop whip is nothing really. Make sure you check the top 5 cities/wonders screen to see if someone has already built it though before you do.

Sorry about that, I was a bit obsessed with teching through scientists, that I lost track of the long term.

Could you make the codfish a salmon next time. a) I like salmon b) it may turn out to be a Salmon of Knowledge.
 
I played 16 turns to get the turn number on a 0. 170, to be specific.

Switched Cerulean, Lavender, and Viridian to Granaries

Pewter: The Great Lighthouse -> Granary

Machop kills an archer in Circassian at 88% odds.

Pidgey attacks the other archer in Circassian at 85% odds... and dies :(

Squirtle captures the city, and it burns.

Pyramids BIDL

Turn 4:

Alex switches to Representation. Guess how.

Set research to 0%

Pallet: Galley -> Galley

Turn 16: zzz

Overview:

Alright. So, we got the Great Lighthouse. Currency, however, won't be coming for a while.

Qin is stealing our land! We should start REXing ASAP. I've started it off with the Settler being built in Vermilion. I reccomend starting another in Pallet when it grows to 6. Then, once we have a good production base going, we can spam troops and steal it all back from him, and then some... :evil:

Another barb city. It's in a decent spot so I reccomend waiting for it to get to 2pop so we can capture it.

I west of my preferred location, for the barb city. It's much the same, except for the extra mountains. But also we'll be able to squeeze an extra coastal city.

On the GLight, yay me! See there's method in my madness!!!!!
 
My apologies guys, I am in the middle of my set in one of the other games, I will definitely play over the weekend.
 
No posts in two days. Neil, I hope you're playing...
 
He's too busy running tests over on SGOTM12.:p

He said he'd play over the weekend. It's 6 AM Sunday now... so if he's not playing, he'd better have a good excuse. If not, we'll just have to skip to ParadigmShifter...
 
Nah I'm happy to let him play his turn - last time I replayed his turn set by mistake so it would be cheeky for him to miss out again.

No it's even later in Australia, it's Monday now. Though them Aussies have strange ideas about weekends, among other things.

Correct, on both counts.

I'm sorry guys, I got distracted by the fierce debate raging in our team about where we should settle for the SGOTM.
I am about to go to work, so I don;t think I will be able to play for another few days.

Its a bit lame to ask this late, but please skip me. Just for this round!
 
Will do, Neil.
