Single Player MP: "Leader Passing"

[Shafi-is-back]

shadow to T160...

I took the opportunity (had some free time before sleep) and took it a bit forward...

Spoiler :

Wow my cty sites were almost identical except that the city blocking shaka and one other city was about one tile off. I'm amazed at how much you have been able to do though ... i still have to settle the 3 sites around the capital and the first settler is being built. And you built the TGL too , i thought of it but couldnt find the time to do it i think. Shouldnt you be having more defenses on the border city with Shaka?, how soon would he DoW???

Hey guys,

I like the idea for the game, but how about doing some write-ups for all the lurkers and putting them in spoilers?

I would have volunteered to be king for 80 turns if my computer wasn't already packed for the big move.

Sounds good. We should do that for the next game. If i was lurking i would like to see what each player was thinking. In fact after doing my turnset i think i would definitely be interested in seeing what was going throught the other guys minds ...

 

[Shafi-is-back]

I think you should. I just didnt take any screenshots or make any notes of what i was doing so maybe next time ...

Spoiler :

I checked the save you provide... there are 2 big differences between us...

you have too many trees and you didn't settle the copper, which is strong due to its food and trees around to chop.

the GLH was just plain luck... I got GE as first GP instead of spy. At first the plan was to use him for HG (which isn't great), on higher levels I would opt for TGL with the GE, but since I was not planning to go with Aesth line I was thinking about some other wonder.
Seeing the GLH wasn't away and the number of coastal cities I planned to lay it was pretty simple to change the plan for him.

As for the "shaka situation". I think more danger can come from Vicky, but seeing the power rating... well I think I should be able to cover quickly, if i concentrate a bit forces in the north.

oh btw the cottage on the flood plain under capital was wrong move and should be really farm. The surplus food is not stellar this way.

Anyone heard from Turin? Odd how he hasn't even said anything about downloading the game...

 

[Turin Turumarth]

I downloaded and started the game, but I am going to take my time and actually pay close attention to my decisions.

Alright, just checking if you're active. Hope it turns out good, and we'll see just how much can be accomplished in 80 turns.

 

[MarigoldRan]

Ha ha. If I take charge, I'll delete half the worker-force. "Shrink the size of the federal government." That's my plan!

 

[Dhoomstriker]

Note to the player that plays before MarigoldRan: rename all units to be named "Worker" and see what he does with that situation.

 

[MarigoldRan]

No! It's people like you who will ruin our country's future and budget. We must cut the federal government, lower taxes for the rich, and engage in democracy-promoting military crusades for the well-being of our country and the world!

@XRW

still hears like some kind of communism .

Since I am from country where we lived 40 years in socialism (the prephase for communism) I approve that socialism economics just doesn't function.

Very popular saying here in that time was "who doesn't steal, robs his family"... so everyone robbed state where he could.
Other problem being... when everyone has a job and can't be fired, everyone gives a ... about what he actually does in his job...

We had plans that were filled over 100%, but on the other hand we didn't had toilet paper (and had to use newspaper instead) and food and services was crap (the most successful people were the ones who knew good butcher and car-mechanic since otherwise you were pretty screwed)

Too bad people these days forget these lessons taught by SSSR and generally east block.

 

[Turin Turumarth]

I'm almost done. I'm actually doing math like those Deity pros .

Haha, I thought you had nearly forgot all about the game. And I was coming back to post and say if you still even playing it.

Well, nice to hear, and try to get it up by tomorrow...

 

[MarigoldRan]

In the future, the thread-starter should set a time-limit (grumble, grumble).

 

[Floating Pants]

You could use a calculator.

Yeah. I think he's trying to find the value of pi by hand before he founds his next city.

 

[Turin Turumarth]

I have summer classes so IDK when I'll be done, I don't have much time on my hands as of a week ago. I should have mentioned earlier. IDK if I can finish it in a timely fashion, so if you want you can skip me.

 

[Floating Pants]

Aye. Let's take a vote for skipping him, shall we? Are all in favor?

 

[MarigoldRan]

Yes. Skip him.

 

[Floating Pants]

OK. If we can get a word from XRW175P6MQ4 or FlyingSwan in favor, that'll be majority vote and we'll skip him.

 

[MarigoldRan]

Not bad! Not bad at all.

Looks like I get to play with Cataphracts.
