Turn 101 - 150

[2metraninja]

I have cut the road. 1 turn slower advancement for the Spaniards means +3 units for us in time in Hansa. Plus the chariot itself. Plus I will need the chariot for something else - to make sure we have city walls around Hansa when the zulus come.

 

[Maga_R]

Ok, I am intrigued - how will you use chariot to make sure walls are built in time? More road pillaging?

 

[2metraninja]

No, will use it as second guard to cover our 3 chopping workers north of Hansa

Ah, so -thx!

 

[Bowsling]

What are we doing with the two barb warriors in the west?

 

[Sommerswerd]

Dissapointing their wives and families with our 2 Chariots in the nearest city I assume

 

[2metraninja]

Right. Just will add some axe to the party.

 

[classical_hero]

I hate barbarians. Is it possible for us to have units to keep the fog clear?

 

[2metraninja]

In 10 turns maybe. Now - not.

Played the turn and hit EOT with 14+ hours on the clock. RB raised the issue with the timer again, but it seems Germans will be the ones to be last again.

Accepted the OB with Apoliton. All is quiet for now on the fronts. Our soldiers are in position and we should not be afraid from the zulus anymore. They had missed their chance to do something. Have put screenshots in TheFastWorker and going to bed. Love you all, you are great team.

Awesome, thanks cap'n!

I'll update the state of the union thread tonight. Has it been better for everyone with fewer pictures, or is it still a problem?

 

[2metraninja]

Played and ended the turn.

 

[2metraninja]

CP got the Apostolic Palace.

So, now that we have the Pyramids, do we want to switch civics?

 

[2metraninja]

I am not sure yet. Our only real option is Representation, but lets think about it tomorrow. For now it is too early to think about it.

The other thing we need to decide is our EP spending. We got research visibility on UCiv last turn, so each additional turn we keep full EP against them is basically wasting it. However, the Spaniards still haven't spent any EP's against us, and I really think they're just forgetting. I'm afraid if we switch to them and they lose our graphs, they'll switch to full EP's against us and we'll have to keep focusing on them just to stay on par. We haven't spent any against CP or Poly, and I'd really like to get their graphs, but we're also trying to forge alliances with them so that might be counterproductive. We have our deal with RB that we can't spend EP's against them. That only leaves WPC and the Germans, but we already have their graphs so spending against them doesn't really help us.

Any thoughts from the team?

 

[talonschild]

We could always put them onto WPC or the Germans, and then contact CP or Poly to reach a deal on EP spending for graphs.

Going to bed, guys, it was tiresome day (making BBQ then eating it along much beer half the day ) and tomorrow is long day too. I just cant resist telling as a proud father that the middle ninja - my daughter - got the highest cumulative score on Literature and Mathematics tests in her whole school (1000+ kids) and tomorrow she is getting a prize, so I am going to watch the ceremony.

Congrats Papa Ninja!
