Term 4 President's Thread

[robboo]

population??

 

[Robi D]

No idea
Can't be pop (we are building a settler and worker in our two cities.
There was no cultural expansion so no extra land, and no one went backwards.

The jump happened the turn before but i didn't notice it, but nothing happend the turn before that to make it jump so i don't really know.

We hit first as fishing was discovered after ending the turn but we will see if we stay there when the next term arrives

Alohan's: Masters of the sea!

1/4 Term Report, I'm still in charge and we are still alive, go figure

Aloha - Settler in 3
Hello - Worker finished, Library in 11

I decide to name the workers to make it easier to describe
Worker W of Aloha (now Builder) Road on mine, finished in 2
Worker S of Hello (Brick Layer) Cottage finished in 3
New worker between cities (Plumber) Will start on road next turn

Barb Warrior reappears, he seem to be just wondering between the tiles

Explorer (i think i'll name him too ) climbs hill, see more land to the SW, mainly desert

Fishing Complete
Metal Casting started, due in 40
Research 100%, 170g, -2gpt

With the water tiles now open to us, once the settler is finished we can stagnate growth as we wont be able to support much more pop in aloha anyway and use the lake tiles, this will cut MC to 27 from the 40. With a pop increase and the cottage on the river this will be in the low 20's.

Plumber will start building road to our new city from next turn, i sent a warrior from aloha to keep him company.

All in all we are on track with the plans for this term.

 

[BCLG100]

what did you name the explorer then?

we can grow another pop or 2 in aloha cant we? i think we should at least grow to size 5 so then we can fill the granary up-right now its just not doing anything at all.

I think we should build a work boat next in aloha, then a defensive unit to protect the city then send out another workboat to explore (barbs arnt on are they?)

We can go to 5 in Aloha, and 4 or 5 in Hello, so i will let it grow to the max before stagnating, then we can rake the gold in, which should take us into the top 2 for gold.

I'm planning a work boat stright after the settler in Aloha, then depends on how other things are going but more than likely i'm thinking a settler or library.
I think we can get MC down to about 20 turns, which would be fantastic.

Haven't named the explorer yet, but i was thinking maybe Sirian Eyes or something. If i get bored enough i'll end up naming all the units
All in all i have to say we are looking good for the long term.

 

[BCLG100]

Ah right yeah, forgot we didnt have a library in Aloha-thats got to be top of the build list.

You gonna send the axe in aloha with the settler? if so may as well send him off now so he can arrive same time as the settler.

It looks like Epsilon got Code of Laws with the Oracle, or it was just a very big coincidence that confucianism and oracle happened on the same turn. They might go for CS next. Or the other thing that might have happened is that they timed the oracle to be finished on CoL being researched. I guess it depends on how rushed they felt in completeing it.

 

[BCLG100]

I think with dave at the head that was probably intentional and i reckon they have got CS, we can see shortly if/when they enter beuracracy that gnp and mfg will rise (may even be able to tell from the demographics page).

Did you send the axe in aloha off to make space for the city?

 

[Robi D]

The axeman has been dispatched to watch over our new outpost.

Also unless anyone has a strong objection the name of our new city will be Hej as everone has so far happy with it.

Looking at the graphs, Loco are ahead in Gold and Culture, we are ahead in the other areas. Loco are Buddists so that explains the culutre, and they are far enough ahead in gold to possibly be the number 1 team (i wish the graphs had values). Meeting them has also revealed they have the number 1 city, Short Line (size 6)

Epsilon has shot ahead of everyone score wise, they are 1st on 207pts, we are 2nd on 150pts.

I also sent this short message to Loco

On behalf of my team Aloha!

We are happy to meet the people of Loco and look forward to productive relations between us far into the future. To get things off to a start you can contact us via the team email cfcaloha@gmail.com
Our Foreign Minister BCLG100 will also be in touch shortly to get discussions going. Look forward to talking with you in the future

Also there was no message from Loco in gmail. Did you recieve anything BC?

 

[BCLG100]

Not as of this morning when i checked gmail and my hotmail and no PM's concerning the game, hmm...

 

[robboo]

Contact one of them via PM. And tell them we sent them a message and would hope to get a response.

 

[BCLG100]

well thats 2 messages which have been sent with no response, without wanting to look to eager i think i'll wait awhile before sending another.

 

[GeorgeOP]

They may just be discussing what their response should be, like how we discussed our second message. I agree that we should wait a bit before talking again. It's not like there's anything to trade yet.

 

[BCLG100]

have you seen whether we can have open borders with them robi? if so they may be making the run to alphabet.

 

[Robi D]

have you seen whether we can have open borders with them robi? if so they may be making the run to alphabet.

Of course we can, we did discover writing ourselves you know

As for the lack of responce, give them till next turn, then send a PM to jeepjeep to see if they got them. I don't believe that would make us to look to eager, i mean all they have to say it 'hi we got your message' how hard is that.

Sirians Eyes goes SW then W. Given that he was not at full strength i decided to give the barb city a miss for now, which by good fortune has shown us Innovia's borders peeking out of the fog. It seems finding other civs is a bit like London buses

Innovia has change to an offical religion, Hinduism, so we know they discovered it. That just leaves Piffle and us without a religion.

 

[BCLG100]

also show how trustworthy our new folk we've met are because i asked them whether they've met anyone and they can't have missed innovia.

Still no word from loco but ill just send the same greeting message to innnovia as what i did to loco just change names a bit
