SGOTM 16 - Maple Sporks

[Sengir]

Ok, then the 500-error is because of this comp/network.

 

[Sengir]

is it me or the file will be available tomorow?

I'm not sure how native speakers define 'midnight': is it the end of the day, or the start? For me as a programmer, midnight (00:00:00) is the start of the day, but I don't think my opinion counts for a lot is this case

 

[Ororo]

Error 50016 for me as well...

 

[Iagoc]

Same here... Guess we have to play the waiting game a bit longer...

It's actually the same thing in law as well (at least in ours) For example, you gain the full legal capacity on your 18th birthday at the start of the day at 00:00:00...

The suspense is killing me, and the game is not even started. Or is it that the suspense is killing me because the game is not even started?

Goes back to reading his book

AlanH just said the saves are available, which seems like a good thing for Sengir's health.

 

[astre]

I'll upload the pictures asap

 

[Sengir]

Ah, there we go. I'll go grab something to eat and then spend the next two hours staring at pretty pictures

And I still don't know what time midnight CST is over here

 

[astre]

[Sengir]

Victory screen would be nice, to make sure we're not battling teams or something like that.

 

[astre]

victory screen :
rival left : 6

foreign advisor info tab:
us + 6 others

Thanks

Number crunching:
At Emperor the AI's start with Archery and Hunting, that's 8000 worth of soldies for each AI. They also start with 2 archers and a scout IIRC (can someone confirm? otherwise I'll start a game as soon as I'm at home). > 6000

Together all AI's have 16.333*6 = 98.000 soldiers; without the Archery and hunting and units: 14.000.
Starting techs with soldier ratings: Mining = 2000; Wheel = 4000
Highest (adjusted) = 4.000 (must have Wheel, nothing else)
Lowest (adjusted) = 0 (no Wheel, no Mining)
10.000 left for the other 4, in increments of 1000.
>> at least one other AI must start with the Wheel, otherwise it doesn't add up
6.000 left for three AI: either 3 AI with mining, or 1 AI with mining, 1 with Wheel and 1 with nothing.

So in all, two possibilities:
A)
2 AI's with the Wheel
3 AI's with Mining
1 AI with nothing

or B)
3 AI's with the Wheel
1 AI with mining
2 AI's with nothing.

Provided my calculations are correct of course.

xpost with Sengir

I tested Emperor soldier counts and it seems that Mansa has 22000 and Hammy 20000. Therefore, neither of them is in game... (unless modified, though I see absolutely no reason to TAKE units from the AI)

Cylindrical means we should go for circumnavigation ASAP.

I checked it and it's 2 Archers + 2 Scouts

Right; Bowman and Skirmisher have 4000 instead of 3000 and Mansa has Mining as well.

 

[Sengir]

I checked it and it's 2 Archers + 2 Scouts

The scouts don't matter, so my post should be accurate. We might be able to find out more at turn 1(fin/cha) and turn 3/4 (crea)

 

[Ororo]

I see. It would be nice to identify some of our opponents on T3 though I doubt we'll have that much info

tried something with leader picker utility (http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/reference/leader_picker.html)
for all industrious leaders:

Bismarck German Industrious Expansive Hunting Mining Panzer (28/2/120)
Gandhi Indian Industrious Spiritual Mining Mysticism Fast Worker (0/3/60)
Louis XIV French Industrious Creative Agriculture The Wheel Musketeer (9/2/80)
Napoleon French Industrious Aggressive Agriculture The Wheel Musketeer (9/2/80)
Qin Shi Huang Chinese Industrious Financial Agriculture Mining Cho-Ko-Nu (6/1/60)
Roosevelt American Industrious Organized Agriculture Fishing Navy SEAL (24/1/160)

surprise:
2 AI's with the Wheel
3 AI's with Mining
1 AI with nothing

it may be nothing, but... well...

EDIT: please see next page for accurate data ^^

@astre, sure that's bts? Gandhi and Nappy aren't industrious as far as I can tell...
