SGOTM 10 - One Short Straw

[RRRaskolnikov]

Personally i see 6 cities only with that spot behind Ghandi. We might get some on islands although personally i would not be so sure evil mapmakers would make that so easy. [I mean i would not expect to get to ten cities pre nukes.] Worst thing we might start seeing AI borders on these 'islands' before we have any unit to scout them.

Got your point... though until we actually explore the east, this is speculation... and I am not so sure about the evilness of the mapmakers... perhaps this game is made to attract the most people, not just for the masochist part (the biggest? ) of cfc?

I think we can wait for the end of Babybluepant's turns to discuss more about this (perhaps with new info).

Cheers

Ok, points about St Pete micro and movement through Gandhi's territory noted. I can play to 1370 tonight (12 hrs), if no one objects.

May the force be with you!

Into the garbage chute, flyboy!

Leia to Han, with very slight sexual innuendo.

Done. Save's uploaded. No second worker. He built a catapult in Bombay and caravel in Delhi, as Soirana suggested, ofc. Also, Sistine Chapel's in Delhi now. I stopped in 1370 with worker and LB's safely away. Will post screenshots later...

At least he didn't rush a wonder in Bombay. Looks like everything is going according to plan.

As far as I can tell... I left the LB next to Delhi the extra turn. I thought the chop came in then. We could still move one of the LB's this turn to check it out...

Are you picking it up now? I'll be quite busy this weekend.

BTW, Moscow can grow in 3t instead of 4, if it works a grass forest for 2t instead of GH.

Should be worth it if the other grass hill is ready in 3 turns

As the capital is currently at the happy cap would just cost us hammers?

 

[shyuhe]

Moscow is at the because it has no military garrison. Once the LB is done, I think it should be able to grow another 1-2 pop.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

One more actually (no whip anger right?)
My earlier point is that it's not worth it if it's to work an unimporved tile (and I guess it's what would happen seeing the worker placement)

 

[babybluepants]

I was just noting it 'cause I haven't switched tile assignments yet. I believe we have +2 happy still, as LB is complete in 3t regardless.

@Soirana,

No access to my computer 'till probably tmr morning... He completed caravel IBT before DOW and rushed Sistine the IBT after. You can't transfer overflow hammers through a GE rush, correct? I don't even know.
