Matrix1 - Ziggurat Addiction

[MatrixTheKitty]

Matrix - up
Happyturtle - skip
Mikehendi - on deck
IdiotsOpposite - just went

Yes, yes I am.

Got it.

v- Very well.

 

[happyturtle]

Still out, I'm afraid. Sorry.

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

PPP:

Alright, so we're going well.

Notes for me to follow:

Destroy Ainu's monastery and sabotage the obelisk

I'll build culture buildings in border cities like Lagash and Kish

To Steal List:

Paper from Qin

Banking from Mao

Education from Qin

When we get banking we can start building banks!

Our spy-building is going well. I'll probably bring out some military units as well in like Uruk.

Speaking of that, who will our next target be? Qin is actually teching useful stuff for us, so we might want to leave off taking him down until later. We've never really been good friends with Washy at all, so maybe we might wanna go after him. Or, perhaps we would want to go after the heathen Boudica? Either way, those two are probably are best targets at the moment.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Personally, I would vote for Boudica.

She's falling behind in score, so she should be technologically weaker. Also, I don't believe she's well liked, so we won't piss anyone off by attacking her.

 

[Mikehendi]

Why are we building the Globe theatre in Metal Boats?

To draft rifles, I assume.

And to whip the hell out of it. I suggested this in my ppp before playing, and since no one said it was a bad idea I went on with it. The plan I had in mind was to whip like crazy now, grow it to size 10-13 before rifling, and then draft draft draft.


I think Shaka is the only AI capable of winning the game, we should think about when to take him on. We should try everything we can to not have him keep up with tech. If we can get rifles before him, we should quickly amass an army and take him out.

Qin (and shaka) is the only AI bordering us ATM, easy to reach and his cities are close enough to be not expensive in maintenance. Also, he is known for backstabbing (I believe), so I'd rather not have him in my back when our army is far away.

I haven't looked at the current tech situation yet, so that isn't factored in in the above anti-QIN statement.

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

Qin has Paper and is getting Education.

[Mikehendi]

I'm sorry, i only just noticed I'm up... I need a skip right now, I probably won't be able to play within a day or 4.

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

Happyturtle, are you available?

 

[happyturtle]

Unfortunately, no. Consider me unavailable until I say otherwise.

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

Well then IO is up?

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Srsly?

Didn't I just play?

I suppose I'll play tonight. Any advice??

Seriously, advice would be good. I'm not at top form tonight... too much worry about exams.

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

Well if you don't feel up to it then we could just wait for Mike.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

That might be good.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

One month later, are we still waiting for Mike?

Never knew you had the power of Neck Romance IO.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Never knew you had the power of Neck Romance IO.

The power of what now?

 

[Brian Shanahan]

Neck Romance, the power of raising people from the dead (it's another Discworld reference, like droit de seigneur being a breed of dog).

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Neck Romance, the power of raising people from the dead (it's another Discworld reference, like droit de seigneur being a breed of dog).

Well of COURSE I do.
