SG for Under 10's

[smackster]

Checking in.I'm 11 and I also don't think I will need much help.

No problem if you guys can play it on your own, just remember that some of the players in this game are a lot younger and you are all working as a team.

Got it on behalf of Linebacker. Quick question for the team - what does everyone think about that land to the SE where we can see the coast?

Kep says "Send a ship there with a settler and something that protects it" End quote

Smackster says "note that it is a long way"

Edit : I might be confused. Do you mean Africa, or South America?

 

[Triple_C]

South america and africa would be good spots to settle, definently protect it

Any updates, I would like to get the game moving. Just let us know when you think it will be played.

Thanks

[smackster]

OK, well done. I looked at the save, and I'm going to ask my own questions and comments so I can try to get you guys talking.

Why build Rio on the iron, is that so we can build MI on the new continent. What about building near the furs as Kep suggested.

What is our score, as that is the goal of this game, to get points. In fact do you guys know how to get points? First one to answer wins a prize.

How about building some more cities. We did research Printing Press, what does that allow us to build?

[a space oddity]

Got it, on behalf of Duimelot. She hopes to play tonight.

 

[Duimelot]

You can get points by building cities and by gaining land.

Yes, I think we built that city to get iron for units.

lurker's comment: smackster: just log out and sign in as Kep. Then log off as him and sign back as you.

Or use different browsers, like Opera and Firefox for different users. I think that would work.

And good luck to you all.

Thanks logging out did it, pretty simple really

Yes, I think we built that city to get iron for units.

In addition, if you get resources like the furs, and build the Logging camp, your city will generate treasure units that we can ship home and get additional points.

If you keep researching on the current path, more resources will be revealed.

<pre-turn>
Put the colonist in a Caravel and sail west.

Land the Colonist.
The Golden age ends.

<turn 2: 1512AD>
Hmm, we can't build a city with the colonist? Is it because it's in a forest?

<turn 10: 1520AD>
Banking comes in, start Colonization after seeing that we can build a second Palace if we have it.
Oy, pressed <return> too soon so the save is of the beginning of next turn.

 

[Triple_C]

Can I go after "The Dude" I have faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr to much homework

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Hmm, we can't build a city with the colonist? Is it because it's in a forest?

This scenario changes the rules. No building cities in forest or jungles.

@ team - remember why we started colonization. What big thing does it allow us to build? What would be a good way to get ready for the big thing? Where should it be built and why?

 

[smackster]

Triple_C, swapped with The Dude, so The Dude is up.

Lets also post some pictures if we can.

Here is the Roster

Kep (smackster)
Linebacker (Admiral Kutzov)
Duimelot (a space oddity) - just played
Triple_C (vostos) swapped - on deck
The Dude (DragonRunner) playing

Some advice I can give, maybe we can apply this to life too

Always make use of your money, invest it, spend it, count it

Maybe we could tweak the science slider so that we get colonisation quicker and find out where those resources are, as we have the cash to afford that.
