LBD Challenge #1: Happy Gorillas

[cabert]

don't forget the coliseum (colosseum?), if you have construction !

 

[futurehermit]

Good call, I won't forget it I'm thinking we should run 20% culture rate once we have theatres + coliseums...

 

[Giaur]

Hello there!

3 proposals:
1) the best for me: On silks near oasis
2) 1S1E to rice
3) 1E to cow to get fish

All free propositions mean coruption, but you have 3 turns, build the trade network to Ragnar, just build road on corn. I am not sure if Ragnar's desire are open borders to anyone, but if you do this, you could trade perhaps with other civs (if connected to Ragnar).

P.S. Don't expect to build Notredam. It will simply be rushed by the owners of Pyramids, Hanging Gardens and Great Wall.

That's why I want to use a GA for music...to get a head start on it...(chopped preferably).

I believe that music isn't researched for when the prize (the GA) is gone, so you may have a monopoly on it for a good while.

 

[futurehermit]

yep, that's the hope

I'd like to make a suggestion for the victory condition to shoot for:

Diplomatic

Why? Well, because if the goal is max happyness, then it seems to me that diplomatic victory is about making sure that even the folks you don't control are happy with you.

I love it! What does everyone else think?

I wonder if the current situation will facilitate a diplomatic victory? If Saladin spreads his religion to everyone, it could be hard to curry everyone's favour.

But I'm open to what others think?

I will try and post an update on the game tonight...I'll probably play around 20 turns per update or so unless I encounter pressing issues, then I'll play less.

 

[Winston Hughes]

Diplomatic would be very cool indeed. And if there are too many people who aren't happy enough? Just go for the 'heartless Utilitarian' approach, and kill the miserable bastards.

 

[Greeneyedzombie]

thus the new slogan is: be happy in the afterlife?

 

[futurehermit]

it's a win-win situation really: join us and be happy or die and be happy

 

[carl corey]

Man this is a weird one. Going for Music? I haven't done it since my early Chieftain or Warlord games! Can't wait for the update. Come on. Make us happy.

 

[Heffling]

By that justification, will you be whipping?

 

[cabert]

By that justification, will you be whipping?

He should whip all those happiness giving buildings!
temples!
missionaries to spread a faith to other cities for more temples.
forges!
markets!
coliseum!
theatres!
units under HR
Globe theater!
barracks under nationhood!
...

 

[Greeneyedzombie]

if only he had a sacrificial altar. they would be happy to die.
