Turn 50-59

[DaveShack]

Warrior completed, fortified in capitol.
Other warrior stays on the worker for now. What was the plan, worker guard, or exploring NE?

Started a settler, due in 11 turns.
Exploring warriors still exploring.

Pottery completes in 2 turns. We can connect the copper first, in 5 turns (cultural expansion) by roading first and then mining. Then cottage spam the ploughland area, right?

Land area.



GNP graph -- we are ahead of Loco



Production -- our production is lower, hardly surprising because we don't have a lot of hammer-rich tiles.



Food is roughly even. Our floodplain site will quickly increase this.



On power, we're slightly better. The big jump for both teams is probably from learning bronze working.



Demographically we fare a bit worse vs the whole 5 teams than we do against just Loco.

 

[1889]

If we work all those improved food tiles we can grow in 1 turn (would add 3 gold) or produce settlers in 8 turns.

Could we send one of those warriors to explore the NW, where are all the other civ's hiding?

Has anyone given any thought to a wonder so we can start putting that philosophical trait to work?

 

[Theoden]

If we are going for wonder I think it should be Oracle. We can research the required tech now, while most civs probably don't have techs down the religious path yet. It grants us a free technology that we could use for grabbing CoL if planned well. And last, but not least, it makes use of our philosophical trait to generate the type of GP that will benefit us most at the moment.

 

[DaveShack]

Exploring warriors kept exploring. NE warrior sees a village, will collect next turn. Pottery will finish, need to decide research. MM'd capitol to produce settler in 7 turns.

What's next?
Priesthood for oracle?
Masonry for Monotheism?

 

[1889]

That Marble resources will take quite a while to connect so I think we should plan on building Oracle without it. It will take about 18 turns to build in Wheelvile and we will have plenty of population and can rush it in 11 maybe.

Therefore we should research Priesthood so we can start Oracle after this settler. Writing can be had quite easily during construction and then Code of Law is our free tech.
Game over, thank you very much for playing.

 

[dutchfire]

I agree, this could be a good plan, because we could also use then G Prophet for the Hindu Shrine later on.

 

[Theoden]

I agree with 1889's plan for all the reasons mentionned above.
