Both Innovia and Loco have Slavery
Innovia has the 2nd best city Wheelville
I can see Innovia has 2 cities, Loco has 3.
Innovia is higher then Loco in gold but a long way behind in production
As for the demographics, we are;
Gold 5th - Production 3rd - Food 2nd - Soldiers 2nd - Land 5th - Pop 5th.

As you can see we have dropped back a little in production. We are still behind in gold but that will change next turn as Aloha will hit its max pop.

 

[Love]

OK so we are a little bit in the middle for best civ?

 

[BCLG100]

We're doing ok, we've only got one of our traits to work with for the time being (creative) as financial doesnt come into play so much until we start getting the cottages up and running/working the sea tiles.

We should also probably overtake innovia and piffle within a couple of turns with a new city and a couple of pop boosts.

From the looks of things so far we also seem to be not so close to other civs so that gives us quite a bit of room to expand.

 

[GeorgeOP]

We're one turn away from settling a new city. Maybe the other teams are one or two turns ahead of us in founding a third city. The worst number is 3rd in production, but that is right in the middle and will also bump with a new city.

 

[Love]

hope we not build the city today(friday 13th)

Hej - Barracks in 60, Growth in 11

Workers
Plumber - Starts road, finished in 2

Sirians Eyes fortifies on hill. I want to get him to heal before going further as one of the things i would like to do is check out the barb city further.

The warrior from Hello has been sent to go south and examine our 4th city site. Hello is still guarded by a spear.

As you can see from the screenshots with Alohas worked tiles changed along with Hej has given us quite a boost in the demographics.

At a glance;
Gold 2nd (previous turn 5th) - Production 2nd (3rd) - Food 4th (2nd) - Soldiers 2nd (2nd) - Land 3rd (5th) - Pop 3rd (5th).

Just what a President likes to see with an election on the way

 

[BCLG100]

well ive asked innovia for an OB, if we get it we should take the opportunity to scout out their lands

Also Loco sent an offer through the game for Open Borders. I declined and sent a note saying it needed to be discussed by the team first. So what does everyone think?

 

[BCLG100]

did innovia accept OB?

may as well accept its not like they have anything anywhere near us

 

[Robi D]

did innovia accept OB?

may as well accept its not like they have anything anywhere near us

Nothing from Innovia. I don't see the harm of Loco's offer myself but i figured i should at least notify the team before accepting. Afterall by the time Locos warrior gets near us (if he ever does) we can always cancel it if we don't want them snooping around.

There is also the issue of there religions getting into our cities to consider but without a trade route to either of them it wont be happening for a while at least.

 

[BCLG100]

Yup and having some religion in our cities would not be a negative. Even if it meant they could see in

 

[Robi D]

I don't have a problem with them seeing in as long as we can see them, which with Innovia we can, but i'm sure in time we will find Loco too.

Any other opinions are welcome before the next turn.

 

[robboo]

open borders are good...the religion thing is not bad. We need happiness and thats what religion provides. Even if they can se in...there are ways around that. You empty the cities as soon as something is built.

Sent Loco offer for Open Borders since there was no objections
Workboat will be on clams next turn.
It looks like Aloha will be able to go from library straight to forge build.
I think the nominations are suppose to open this turn for the next term

 

[robboo]

Well who posts those nominations...you might want to PM them.

 

[Robi D]

Usuallythe UN rep, but anyone in government can even the domestic minister

 

[robboo]

Man I would love to...but i still got three rooms to unpack before Monday... when my kids go to school, I start my job and my wife leaves for a business trip. I also have to install curtains..having a new house sucks like that.

I get to fish for a living...hahahahhahah. I am a research assocaite at LSU that will be conducting fish population surveys all around the state for pollution impacts, threathen species surveys and other things. I woudl do thsi for free...but they decided to pay me quite nicely. ....double my previous salary 5 years ago before I became Mr. Mom. And after a year of workign they will pay for my grad school wok fo rmy PhD. I wont even tell you robi about the free LSU basketball tickets I get and george..LSu baseball tickets for free too. Life is good...except for my dog having cancer.

 

[BCLG100]

thing is, does anyone else want a crack at another job???

im happy being foreign minister and with robi playing turns etc unless either of you 2 want to change does anyone else want a crack at any of the jobs?

otherwise pretty slow day huh robi 'work boat built'?

and rob i can sympathise, my dog died about a year ago today, we didnt catch the cancer intime and by the time we did it had spread from the lungs to the kidneys and countless other places

 

[robboo]

Pretty much similar to my dog. He has lymphoma and we are giving him chemo since it will extend his life for hopefully almost 2 years. Since he is 7 years old..I figure thats a pretty good amount of time. He possible saved my daughters life so he gets every chance in the world even if i have to sell my wood working tools to pay for his treatment.

I am fine as domestic..and i am fine with you guys staying in your jobs. Unless someone wants them or wants out then we can forgo elections but please speak up lurkers if you want a shot at the offices.

 

[BCLG100]

Aye is he a big dog? mine was an Irish Wolfhound was only 5 when it happened and though not expected to live very long it came as a shock.
