Term 4 President's Thread

[robboo]

lab/retriever mix...about 70 pounds pre-cancer. We figured he would live till about 10 or 12. He is a strong dog..a fighter. He is doing better then the vets hoped for.

Ok so we ar last in score?

Yes, which is not unexpected given we are researching a costly technology while others are doing cheaper ones

 

[Love]

Yeah, metal casting is really good

 

[GeorgeOP]

We will have our first library next turn and Hej's borders will expand
Also we can research Alphabet next if we can reach a deal with Innovia or Loco, otherwise i would like to beeline calandar so we can get happiness from the silks and grow our cities further

 

[BCLG100]

[Robi D]

For reference at our current rate of research; Alphabet 11 turns, Maths 9, Calandar 15.

Also with the food stock piles getting full in Hello we can start to look at using our Scientist in Hello.

With the border expansion in Hej we are now number 1 in Land area.

When we are finished whith metal casting.
The others are DEAD!!!

 

[robboo]

OK...we are doing good...

Math would be a good tech to go for since teh chop bonus comes into play. We dont have iron working yet do we??

No iron working for us, but looking at the relevant numbers no one appears to have it. I guessing everyone has found nice wide open starts and tried to get a jump on non military techs

PS- IW would take 7 turns

 

[Love]

but we must cut down those stubid jungles...

Well shock horror, Innovia has not sent Open Borders . Sirians Eyes moves back next to the Barb city. I will guide him around it keeping to the forests to minimise an chance of a barb getting lucky and killing him. If they do eventually agree we can always loop around to investigate later

Surveyor returns 1 tile north to keep watch over the location for city 4

Hello worked tiles changed around to accomodate scientist. We keep the production but lose some gold (sorry forgot the sceenshot). The beakers from the scientist means reasearch time doesn't change but we start generating GP points.

As mentioned in the domestics thread I think we should go back and do Sailing(4 turns) next, then Maths(9) and Calandar(15). Two reasons for this, firstly it might open up some trade routes and secondly there is a large undiscovered area just to our west and i think it would be good to see whats there as it could be a possible second route to other civs.

Finally, i've done a bit of guesstimating. Now if there is no civs closer than Innovia to us and if you look at an average rate of expansion , then the time our borders are in range of other civs should be about the time our UU(cossasks) is in their prime. That gives us all something to look forward to
