SGOTM 16 - U'nu'sual S'us'pec'ts

[Trystero]

OK - NO for now. I have to respond to Rammy before I can look at Humbaba.

 

[Trystero]

I think kcd got us:

Spoiler :

Also, as you can see by the event log:

Parthenon BIAFAL!
Taoism was FIADL

Switch Production to a Harbor or a settler for 2 Fish?

 

[neilmeister]

Bugger, no Parthenon. I suppose our luck had to run out eventually.

Humbaba's Haven only has Archers?!?! there has to be a catch. Does the ice go all the way around? If it does that is going to be interesting. Culture bomb our city to eliminate it!!

Ramesses will trade Monarchy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Trys, I think this might be a stopping point for raucous debate.

edit: I would say Settler in Production first, then Harbor followed by 2 WB's

 

[neilmeister]

What does Ramesses want for Monarchy?

 

[neilmeister]

Also, "the enemy has been spotted near GP Farm".

What enemy is this????

 

[Trystero]

Bugger, no Parthenon. I suppose our luck had to run out eventually.

Humbaba is not in Humbaba's Haven. It was put there by the evil mapmaker* to fake us out.

Ramesses will trade Monarchy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Trys, I think this might be a stopping point for raucous debate.

Oh yeah, that too.

OK - well the 2 turns were fun. I already saved before posting. There is also a barb galley near GPFarm (I think it is a galley) I will need to double-check.

edit: I would say Settler in Production first, then Harbor followed by 2 WB's

OK - I will put that in my notes.

Edit: *never trust a mapmaker.

 

[Trystero]

I am checking the save for the barb. One moment please.

ALL mapmakers are bastards!!!!!!

 

[Trystero]

It is a galley - just north of GPFarm:

Spoiler :

Ramesses wants Aesthetics and Currency for Monarchy:

Spoiler :

Edit: Would you like me to upload the save?

 

[neilmeister]

OK, whats Paris building right now? It just finished the temple, right?
Harbor will have to wait, change to Trireme.
GP Farm to build WB after NE, to replace the fish we will surely lose. already lost.

Both of those are fine IMO, he will probably throw in his 20 gold as well. (edit: i mean both Aesthetics & Currency)
I vote to take that trade, for sure.

Where is our current Trireme? as we know barb galleys are about now.


edit: but we need to wait for the others of course.

edit2: Maybe Production should also build a Trireme, then Harbor and 2 WB's, and let barb city do the settler.

 

[Trystero]

The trireme is the Barb City/Production area.

Edit: Yes, Paris is building a Harbor.

 

[neilmeister]

Edit: Would you like me to upload the save?

No, I think I am OK with the posts. The others might disagree....

 

[neilmeister]

The trireme is the Barb City/Production area.

Edit: Yes, Paris is building a Harbor.

OK, cool. We are going to want protection for the galley when we go to 2 Fish. In the meantime, try to stay central, so that we can try mitigate barbs galleys.

 

[neilmeister]

...but switch the ocean tile in GP Farm to the GH mine.

If the barb moves off the fish, put it back on the no nets fish to help us grow.

 

[Trystero]

I will wait on uploading then, since I am in the middle of the turn.

I won't play anymore tonight until we get more feedback on the possible Monarchy trade. I will have more time to play tomorrow (12 hours from now).

 

[neilmeister]

Thanks Trys, I know its painful to stop mid turn, especially only 2 turns in.

• Humbaba --an advanced era barbarian unit -- must be dead (Thanks Leif). He is a real monster just like in BOTM 41, but now lives in a fairly secluded place.

Yes, Humbaba's Haven must be a fake.

OK - Got it.

Edit: Maybe we should send a unit to spawnbust the northern peninsula?

 

[neilmeister]

Yeah, thats a good idea. Though Brennus' archer was supposed to be doing this for us.

There a few Chariots in barb city.

 

[neilmeister]

Actually, can you ask Ramesses this:

Propose MC fro Monarchy, and ask 'what will make this trade happen/fair' can't remember the exact words.....

 

[Trystero]

OK - just a moment. I will edit this post with his reply.

Edit: He will do it and give us 20 gold:
