SGOTM 23 - Turbo Ants

[LowtherCastle]

We have a chop coming in next turn and we could put 5H into a warrior this turn. That would give us a warrior... 1 turn too late to prevent 1 but we'd have him.

Go for it.

 

[Mitchum]

Go for it.

OK. Let's hope that our window to pillage the sheep doesn't close by the time I get back there.

I love fluid plans!

 

[Mitchum]

Uh oh... we see an axe flying Fred's colors hop onto that hill (Edit: the one north of Berlin). But before I can confirm anything, Darius is asking for AH. Give it to him? I say yes but I'll wait for confirmation from one more.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Yes to Darius. That axe may be going to garrison Hamburg. Good. XP for our chariot.

 

[Mitchum]

Should we delay the settler for StoneCity by 1 turn and finish the warrior? Or should we just build the settler this turn, whip away the 2 angry citizens and then finish the warrior (or a chariot) next turn with OF?

 

[WastinTime]

This post made me think you were on board with bringing the warrior home...

yea, when said it would take 8 turns to get home, I wanted to explore other ways to get an MP home.

How much does the warrior delay the chariot? That sucks.

Let's see. We have 5H in the warrior. Our chop just came in so we have 21H this turn (16 from chop and 5 from tiles).

If we put those hammers into a settler, it would be 21H + 11F = 32FH. 3 pop whip next turn gives 32 + 90 + 1015 = 132 137, right? Then we build the chariot next followed by the warrior. So it wouldn't delay the chariot at all. Paris at pop 3 should be fine without an MP anyway, I would expect.

 

[Mitchum]

Oh crap. Fred could cut our warrior off from escape if he moves 1S of where we stand. If, for some reason, we can't CF, we could lose our warrior. As has been said though, our chariot can eat that axe up but it would be nice to keep the warrior alive. No need to do anything this turn. We can wait and see where the axe goes IBT.

SOunds like we're delaying the copper mine?

 

[Mitchum]

FurCity has 4F + 5F/turn. I think I should 1 pop the granary this turn, right? Then it will have 9/22F when it completes which is almost half full.

If I wait, it will have 9/24 next turn and 14/22 on the turn it completes. Then it will have 19/22 then 24/22. The granary would only have 10F in it but think the extra 2F get counted twice so we'd have 12/24 on the turn we grow.

I used to have this stuff dialed in but I can't remember how the "double" food math works any more.

Nope. We don't even have the horses pastured and roaded yet. That will be done JIT in 2 turns.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Darius got Masonry too late to be building the GW. Plus too many hpt. Had to be a settler.

What did Churchill do with his Prophet?

 

[LowtherCastle]

Okay. Do whatever makes sense. Settler or warrior first.

 

[Mitchum]

I can't tell. He could have settled him. No new religious techs. We're not sure who the founder of Christianity is so I guess he could have built a shrine with it too.

You stealing the deer straight through now? I think your understanding is correct. Based on teh situation, I don't think it matters which, although finishing the granary at 14/22 allows you to work the cows for 2t instead of the deer, if that's helpful to Paris.

The shrine would show up on the F9 screen.

Okay, I have to go buy dinner. The cook's got the day off today.

 

[Mitchum]

I was talking about FurCity, not CEB. But I didn't whip it.

 

[Mitchum]

I had checked there and didn't see it last turn or this turn. I wasn't 100% sure it would show up there or not.
