Brian_Shanahan asked me to post this in his profile and current SGs.
He wants you all to know that he won't be coming back to post in this site. If anyone is interested in knowing the reason, feel free to contact him.
That being said, he also wants to inform you that he is resigning his spots in all the Sucession Games that he's currently playing.
Regards,
Ichabod
Too bad ... Brian must have his reasons.
Ok, I take this chance to apologize for the fact i haven't posted anything in the weekend. I had 2 very stressful months in terms of work ( I basically had no weekends since early March ) and this weekend I basically took the foot out of the gas pedal. So, basically I haven't done anything from Friday to Monday morning, including playing civ
Ok, so it is time to drop a plan to play the worse tomorrow.
Tech wise I don't see any reason for not going CS at this moment. Unless we want Lit for the GL ...
In terms of new settling I would prefer to settle against Mansa, since it is clear he is the more acessibble to attack of the AI players. But we simply have no spot to put another city to attack mansa due to the settling by Monty of the dyes spot. Anyway i think we can definitely afford atleast one more city, so I think that we should settle against the Koreans. The issue is where ... going to next to Seoul would help us put some pressure to the Koran cap, but I think that we would gain more settling near that gold/FP in our east ... maybe 1E of the gold ? Anyway we still have to make the settler, so I would not be surprised if we will not settle before the next set ( 4/5 turns to make it + the time to move it to place )
We also need to discuss how we are going to fuel our research ... we are not hiring specs, but also not working cottages. We need to discuss what the the plan from now on. I would favour cottages, mainly because we don't want to pollute our GPP pool with scientists
, but I'm open to counter arguments.
In city build terms, I think we could make more courthouses, but we have some libs and granaries to make as well. We can get some wonders, but, besides the Mids that should be almost done somewhere, i don't see much of case of even trying one of the list we can get now ( Mids, HG ( needs aqueduct ), Chichen, SoZ and Paya ). And besides that we need more workers
and most likely some archers, so we have more to do than wondrous things.
So, all in all, most likely a boring set. But anyway we need to decide if we want to run a SE or a CE ( yeah I know, misleading and never defined terms, but only used to shorten the sentence ), even if because we might want to try mids if we want specs.
Will try to play after hearing some comments. if no one does I'll play tomorrow.
