Ship any extra settlers to our offshore islands, we'll get two traderoutes now.

Maybe build some more workers. Otherwise keep the cities growing. More troops=more cottages=profit.

We're doing nicely and someone else is building the wonders for us. :mwaha:

pigswill · Nov 25, 2008

Once cities start growing (and get courthouses) our economy should improve significantly. I reckon we need to decide between island rexing or lib race, we can't afford both. One more city should block off Jo so that's worth building regardless.

ese-aSH · Nov 26, 2008

lib race is quite useless if the only gain is to get a tech as expensive as liberalism ; yet maybe we can get astro easily ?

having joao friendly is good, I still think we should continu empire building and start scouting the oceans, once the ennemies are revealed we must attack them fast (and practice kind of blitzkrieg : we only need to take wonder cities, we just have to make sure we are able to take them all the same turn, then vassalize)

cripp7 · Nov 26, 2008

Still a ? about that barbery coast city, keep or raze? keeping gives access to whale/stone/sheep without having to build a settler. what about tech path, is lib race achievable? Getting Mono for OR for the 25%(free forge). I think after Paper we beeline Optics to get caravels out to scout the world and see who else we're dealing with. Checking the top5, there's a wonderwhore out there.

KingMorgan · Nov 26, 2008

Keep the barb city imo.

Good set Pigs.

I'm not going to have time to finish tonight, i have to leave for thanksgiving and won't be back 'till sunday. remi, can you pick it up?

remconius · Nov 27, 2008

I can probably play tonight or tomorrow night.

I'll have a look at comments since the previous set. If all is clear I'll play, if not I'll post my questions/options.

remconius · Nov 27, 2008

Played 10 turns. Mainly building set, so no spicy report...

-Whipped some courthouses and markets, we are now at 40% with small loss.
-Built two cities in the south.
-Galley was killed by barb (even while defending and combat I promoted). Two new galleys are built for army to barb city which we should keep.
-I decided to throw in compass for harbors. It's quite a powerful building which we get at double production.
-FP to be built in Ulundi?

THE SAVE

remconius · Nov 28, 2008

ese-ash or stuge if you want, you can pick up before Cripp, who will not be back till sunday.

When playing last night I was in serious doubt about the lib race which is why I threw in compass (harbours are powerful and cheap in this game). I would prefer to head for optics which would unlock whale and caravels to meet the world.

stuge · Nov 28, 2008

Good call on compass, optics next.

I suggest cripp swaps with ese-ash.

KingMorgan · Nov 28, 2008

Nice work Rem. Good call on optics time to meet the world. Agree we keep the sheep/whale island barb city.

pigswill · Nov 29, 2008

Maybe get MC from Jo (probably have to trade compass and aesthetics) then machinery before optics. Our economy is relatively poor for this stage of the game, however we're still recovering from the Shaka war and lots of cities have major growth potential so over the next couple of rounds our economy should expand rapidly.

remconius · Nov 30, 2008

As nobody took the opportunity to swap, Cripp can continue whenever he surfaces after the Thanksgiving weekend.

cripp7 · Dec 1, 2008

got it! i've resurfaced, hope everyone had a good turkey-day! nice round remi, thanks for swapping. had a look at the save and I like the lines for the galleys.

ppp- i was thinking of just basically growing cottages, building infrastructure. start on units in TH/BC to get our soldiers back up. Trade Aes/compass for MC, start on machinery. getting a couple spies to get feudalism or machinery(once in we can build maces), we have the EPs.

remconius · Dec 2, 2008

I am off till Thursday, go ahead and build, build, build

cripp7 · Dec 3, 2008

Finished turnset. Turn 0 traded compass/aesthetics for MC, then just built grains/markets/etc.. picked up the units to drop off to the barb city. Once Paper was in, added Mono and switched to OR for the 25% boost, then Machinery>Optics(start). Defeated a barb galley which I figured could escort the WB down to the S fish, there's a barb galley down there. Put a forge in TH and now it's making axes in 1t and maces in 2t. 2 spies are headed to Joao hopefully we can steal Feud or something better.

Good stuff, cripp. Will check the save later, but looks like making good progress.

Looked at the save. We need to build the Forbidden Palace (in Ulundi?) We need some workboats for the unfished sea resources.
Do we use the Great General for an instructor or wait to build an academy?

When we get optics, let's prioritize and rush 2-3 caravels to explore the world.

We also have a Great scientist, which we could use for academy in cottage city (7beakers/turn now, later more), or to speed 1700 beakers of education.

KingMorgan · Dec 4, 2008

Agree with remconius.

Edu would be a good bulb, we should be producing many GP from the farm we can have an Adca next time. If we get 2 GS then maybe Astrom is a bulb option.

stuge · Dec 5, 2008

Ese has been quiet for a while, so if we don't hear from him before tomorrow, I'll get it and post a PPP.
