KoS6 - Miss World Pageant: "And World Peace"

[MatrixTheKitty]

Well, I guess we should move the settler one more W, a clam is better than a tundra pig

 

[shyuhe]

Yeah, I think one more west is better.

 

[happyturtle]

Reroll the map!

 

[kossin]

1W looks better indeed.

@happyturtle
If after some number of turns we see we really got hosed by the start... maybe yes restarting then. I'm just afraid shyuhe loves bad starts too much to regenerate

 

[babybluepants]

Either 1W, or we just wander for 3-4t.

 

[nocho]

Concur with 1W.

 

[shyuhe]

1W looks better indeed.

We haven't exactly "lost" the other bad start we pushed through with. Yet... Maybe we will this weekend and I'll be eating my words then

 

[Tarkhan]

Hmm. This one looks interesting!

March of the Ice Queen!

You guys considered to regenerate a map for an immortal game, come on, be more confident on yourselves.

I remember that I played a game provided by someone who thought was an impossible immortal map. Playing with Saladin in a semi-isolated map with Ragnar with the starting settler on a one tile island, the 1st citizen had to work as a citizen specialist in the beginning.

Even you spend 10 turns to wander your settler and settle near to a AI, you can rush it to get a 2nd capital every early on. I believe almost all the naturally generated map of immortal game is easily winnable.

 

[happyturtle]

Not "you guys", just me. I'm not an immortal player on my own.

 

[babybluepants]

Ok, so:
Settle 1W, build WB asap, tech BW.

Go for it. I do hope though that to the west something better than bare tundra tiles will show up. And some hills, or production will be quite limited.

 

[babybluepants]

Ok, I played through BW. The land is loaded with pig, silk and fur, and not much else. We're all the way south on the map. I've never played Fantasy, so I don't know if this is crappy or not.

I met Catherine's scout from due east early, and sent the warrior that way. She's relatively close (you can just about see her border outline east of the marker). Seems that we may be blocked by coast in the west, but it's hard to say just yet. There's copper just east of our start location - so that's a decent spot for a second city. There's also a tundra oasis / pig / marble / deer spot down south.

With some fur and deer, I think we should just go Hunting - AH, instead of Agri. It's quicker to being able to pasture, as well. Some tile micro may be involved in getting research and warrior-worker builds to align.

Land:

 

[shyuhe]

That's a lot of pigs on this map Mmmmm, bacon.

Those sure are some terrific looking city sites to the east

1N of the marble looks like a reasonably good second city, especially with a 4/0/3 tile in its first ring.

 

[kossin]

I guess we found a GP farm

shy's proposed site looks good.

The save would be nice

 

[babybluepants]

I'm thinking Cathy will take our GP farm. Maybe that's pessimistic?

Save's attached.

 

[shyuhe]

I'm pretty sure we'll see lots of pigs on this map so I'm not too worried about finding an alternative GP farm somewhere with 4 pigs in its BFC. 5 is overkill anyways

 

[happyturtle]

Is that a... jungle ice hill?

I think we settle take the GP farm and name it Bacon Wonderland.

 

[happyturtle]

So who is up next? Will we just use continue on the roster as originally made?

I've got another SG to play today, and did one yesterday, so I'd rather put this one off a few turnsets.

 

[kossin]

Seeing as shyuhe is up in the Monty game, I'll take the next set and we can continue with the roster from there (so bbp will have had an extra set at the start).
