SGOTM 09 - Fifth Element

[BLubmuz]

Again...on my TS I did not have RR yet so there was nothing for the workers to do. I had two choices:

A. Put them to sleep in one of the cities.
B. Build mines on undeveloped hills to have a small chance to pop a resource.

I chose B.

Now that we have RR, there is something for the workers to do.

Around Opis were needed farms and windmills, forests to chop. Forests to chop also in Greenland, a watermill (better 2) near Nippur, which i asked to not grow past size 17 (it's 18 now).
It's not only your fault, something was wrong in precedent TSs.

PPP


research: Finish plastics, Rocketry, start the path to Fusion
Trades: Watch the alerts and every turn F4 for techs and resources + F10 and city tour.
demands: show them the direction to Hell for any demand. But gently. If Shaka ask some reasonable item, give him
Cities:
LaunchPad: Keep always at least 5Sci + 1Eng at workAny city: structures, more structures. The Jewish cities can build a Jewish temple, mainly to increase the (we own the AP )
Other cities: needed infrastructure

GPersons: If GS, settle. If GSpy, destroy your PC. If a GE, keep him at sleep: some WW can be rushed

It will be a day or so before I can play so feel free to make edits or suggestions

Yeah...we all make mistakes.

Nothing happened. Just i traded DR to Shaka before trade with Wang and he passed from Friendly to Pleased, so the DP is in red.

I'd say this is more than nothing. If you would have gotten the DP first then you still could have traded with Shaka!!!

I didn't think to the "worst enemy" thing. It's surely not game breaking, but it disturbs, since we planned something different. I'm not so good in diplomacy, i forget things. If only i traded with Wang first...

But... you'll never know, maybe Shaka declares on Wang now that HC broke the Vassal.

Anyway, an half dozen Destroyers can keep everyone at bay. More efficient than a DP.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Could you shed some light on these log entries, pls?

Tech learned: Military Tradition
A Forest Preserve was destroyed
Team 3 revolts and is no longer a Vassal State of Team 5
A Fishing Boats was built
A Fishing Boats was built

Yeah, I built a few extra frigates when we were all in Shaka fear before my TS. They'll still provide defence against galleons/frigates.

edit:

Ok, gotcha.

I never was in Shaka fear. i'm just prudent frigates won't help much, anyway
edit:Ok, gotcha.

Tech learned: Military Tradition the trade with Wang i discussed
A Forest Preserve was destroyed it was outside Opis'BFC and i don't care forests there, we must farm
Team 3 revolts and is no longer a Vassal State of Team 5 you already got it: HC freed from Wang
A Fishing Boats was built outside BFC in NY for sushi
A Fishing Boats was built same, Greenland

I don't know where those WBs were built, the last one was far south and it's now sailing to Greenland for a platform.

You probably noticed i updated #2 until turn 200. I hope to finish before it. Anyway the last one was my last TS this SG.

So far things look like they have gone fairly well. Hopefully the missed DP will not be a problem. I like that HC has broken free from WK. Perhaps it will slow WK down a little bit.

The general plan for the cities looks OK. Now that our Workers can build RRs, it should keep them busy for awhile.

Frigates were for keeping our nets from being pillaged.

Let's get Rocketry finished and the Apollo Program built.

 

[unclethrill]

So unless anyone wants to make suggestions I'll play tomorrow when I get up or somewhere there after.

I have only this:
- spread irrigation to the wheat near Opis
- start 3GD in Nippur
- keep the specialists in Pindus and LP
- after the labs, build drydocks in Sparta and Panama, then destroyers
- remember the workboat sailing to Greenland
- build a coal plant in Greenland
- Spread Mining Inc to the most important cities
- watch when Shaka get Astro
- remember to NOT cancel the deal with Stalin: he only has 2 silks, one is for Wang (his Master) and one is for our fish. If you cancel the deal, he do not want to trade his only resource.
- try to squeeze some gold from hits
- i forget Radio, better research that after Rocketry.

You should be playing your TS instead of trying to beat my time on G-Minor 74.

With 4 kids,it is difficult to carve out time at home to play a game that require close attention. This is why I complained about you taking so long to play that I would have to play at home. It will be another 12 or 24 hours before I can get to it and give it the attention it deserves.

If that is not acceptable then skip me and I can play the next TS while I'm at work.

It's already Friday (in a few minutes) and we work on Sunday. If you don't get a chance to play in the next couple of nights, then you can play on Sunday night. I'm sure that handing off the TS at this point won't get it played any sooner than that anyway since the next player would have to post their PPP and make their plans, etc. before actually playing.

 

[greatbeyond]

Four kids, a job, going back to school, and time for Civ? Perhaps you can convince your children to be Civ fans too.

FYI I'm off to a wedding this weekend... not that I am usually very active on weekends, anyway, but I'll be back monday. Good luck.
