Math09: RaR, OCC, Space - take two

[DaveShack]

Note to self, Christmas break is over so start checking subscribed threads.

Don't have it, will check back and see if someone else went ahead and grabbed it.

So far, so good. The Mongols have Caste System already, and we can get it for 15 gold. I think it's worth it to save a turn of research. Also, we should build Worker Housing before Forge.

Oh, yeah... embassies. I don't see any reason not to.

 

[Smart]

IIRC Working housing will be obsolete soon. Fogre never expire

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

WH lasts until Feudalism, which is good enough for me

 

[Mathias]

Dave? Methos?

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Attempt at following the Roster:
Mathias - started
**
Beorn-eL-Feared - played 2nd
Smart - went 3rd
DaveShack - has yet to go
Methos - ** got skipped, on deck

If we forget the original roster and try to live a normal SG from that point on, Dave would be up and Methos on deck. If Dave doesn't have the time, Methos would be up. If both are unavailable, Mathias is up (and Methos might want to go back to his spot after mine).

 

[Methos]

I believe it would be best for me if I withdrew from this game. My apologies everyone but I have lost all interest in CivIII. I am finding that I have to force myself to play my turnset for any CivIII SG I’m in. It appears I have fallen victim to CivIV!

My apologies, and good luck!

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Been nice playing with you Methos
I see no need to apologize, I don't think I'd feel differently if I had (or just could run) CIV. Cya around,

 

[Mathias]

No sweat, Methos. Good luck in you CIV ventures.

Dave is up.

 

[Mathias]

It appears that Dave has been busy with CivIV as well.

If anyone wishes to join us, pick up the save an play ten turns.

 

[Mathias]

I guess it's just the three of us for now.

Workers are not roading anywhere in particular, just nothing else to do right now.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

While that happens we might be good to start roading northwards to the spices. Got it.

 

[Mathias]

Luxuries are quite unneccesary. Once our city is large, we will not likely be able to aquire enough luxuries to run 0% lux. Not only that, but we won't be able to put that extra 10% to science until the industrial ages.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Turnlog will be brief because those turns were uneventful, to say the least.

Revolt >> CoL >> Philo
Revolt >> Forge >> Harbor

No further MP built because Demo is 1MP max. I'm building a harbor for the extra commerce we'll have upon working coast tiles, and the eventual synergy of 2-food sea tiles with the rest of the city. I've micro'ed completely for food growth during my turns; only the last one wasn't a 5fpt deal: not enough grasses, need sea. If I haven't removed it, queued are palace gardens, for the tourism. The earlier the better so I figured we'd get it before building academies and such. We'll get the harbor on growth.

We can trade The Wheel in, IIRC mongols are the best deal for it because they miss Dynasticism; France is backwards Urbanization+Writing

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'll have to double-check RaR wonders to answer you well about that, Smart, but whatever we make of it, it is very good news

Roster:
Math - On Deck
B -
Smart -
Dave - ... I can't speak for Mathias, but you don't have much more than 24h

 

[DaveShack]

I'm still here. Interesting things were happening in the Civ4 DG and I got distracted. Also had family pressure to not disappear into the office while everyone was there for holidays.

 

[Mathias]

SGL - Colossus is probably best at this point. The Great Lighthouse is another option, but won't be very useful until we can irrigate.

Science - We don't need Trade yet. I would rather pick up Fermentation and Weaving for SGL chances, then head for Literature. Of course, if we find Silks nearby, then we should research Trade.

Colony on the incense? OK, but only if we don't need that worker for a Silks colony. I don't see much value in it, but it will allow us to build a monastery sooner.
