Turns 1-20

I think that "go to Ivory through River plain" is only reasonable plan.
We may calculate the rest after.
So worker ->West.
Now we have to decide: "Writing or Pottery"?
Also, who will take a move and upload?
 
You mean, worker East?
Re Pot: if we can calculate that changes eg to my Exploration ss allows us for a 8-turn warrior and settler combo Factory, then this could Be more powerful than an early Gran. If we can Figure that out, then i'd SAy writing.

I merged our current ideas into a new excel. So basically we don't build a second worker and improve the eastern tiles first. A side effect is: when improving the ivory and the river plains E-NE, we will be able to see, whether the two eastern red crosses are good city sites. (See picture.) If they are, we can use the black roads to get there in two moves. If not, we just settle one of the western red crosses. I takes 3 moves, as no roads are yet ready in the W, but both sites have access to the wheat.



Next: with the BG mined, we can run a 2warrior, 1settler combo at size 5-6 and can even lend the BG to the second town for 4 out of the 8 turns:
size 5: 5,5,5,7 = 22 shields
size 6: 7,7,7,9 = 30 shields!

I think for this we want a barracks in the capital, or what would be the use of so many reg warriors?? I've indicated this in the excel.

Now we should calculate, whether doing Pottery first might not even be as fast as going directly for Philo. What are the exact tech costs? Memento, is your Sandkasten using the exact parameters (Small, Emperor, 70% water, 4 opponents)? Then we can just use the CivAssist numbers from the Sandkasten. Can you attach your biq file, so we can keep it up to date as we discover more tiles?

Cheers, Lanzelot

Edit: in the current excel, the worker is going back W to the FP. However, if we do decide that there's a decent town location in the E, then the worker should stay in the E to improve more tiles for the second town. Then we need another worker to go W.

Sure, East...
Error code correction...
But if we consider pottery Wheat may be better.
Point is that at the time we build Granary better to pass 5 fpt to another City.
Hard to make a calculations but probably research of pottery will make some critical delay in Philosophy.

Cyc said that probably we need to restart. Hopefully local map will be the same.
 
Here is the new one.
can anybode test when we research writing in all sheets?

Edit:wrong save
 
i like that ss. now we should compare it with a granary approach. i can do that on wednesday at the earliest.
tomorrow i am out of town, giving a paper, and will return only on tuesday. i can follow and comment on the discussion on my iphone but not contribute calculations.
tuesday i will probably get my family home. not good for civ time.

details:
+ sooner or later we should build our cheap rax, but not so early. too costly. in your pattern, we could fit it in any time instead of 2 warriors.
+ speaking of them, we should not build too many of them either. after we have settled our needs for MP, and even for MP, i think we should build some archers when we learn to do so. there are barbs (are there?) and you can never be sure if the other civ on our continent does not get ideas... even reg archers should be enough against an early invasion.
+ i even would be happy to build another curragh and set the cap on wealth for the 4th turn! we might need a few to make the crossing.
+ one or two warriors could be fine for exploration. not having to produce warriors in other towns would especially be nice if we find another food bonus and want to build a granary in a town for a worker factory.
+ some time we should build like a warrior and a worker in the first part of the circle. we will see when that is appropriate. i do not feel that this is too urgent though!
+ does a new town on river and coast have the same commerce in the city center as an inland town on a river?
+ although thinking green i would still not hesitate to cut that forest next to the cap any time. what are we saving it for? if we choose this approach and want to build a granary later, it should go. we want to work every core tile asap.

Question: When City grows it gain extra 2 shields, but not beaker?
 
@ Ivan:

t11 - why do you believe it won´t finish? i saw this happen in our test game for all worker moves, so i think it should happen here as well.

t19 - i could easily be convinced to move directly there, but Lanzelot is crazy about not wasting worker moves. IF WE DO NOT LOSE A TURN ON WRITING, i am happy with either way. but if we do need those extra beakers, we should move on to the wheat.

on growth you don´t get any extra commerce, because i think commerce is calculated before food and hence before growth.

@ Memento:
disease would be a bad bad thing to happen, especially without a gran. i suffered that in the last Deity SG!

who knows the tech costs on this map?

templar_x
 
stop, there is an error in the sandkasten save.
i dont konw why.tech costs are to high.
in the real save writing needs 40 turns by 100%
in the sandkasten save 48 turns
Icant upload the biq file here. if anyone want it, i can send per mail
 
we become a new save from the küche.
the old one have an error in the techtree.
Anarcho said:
The unit our UU replaces is shown in the tech-tree. Would be good, if you also check it. Compare the tech-tree with the tech-tree of a normal game with your original civ.
If we become a new save, with irrigated wheat or without?
 
@ Ivan:

t11 - why do you believe it won´t finish? i saw this happen in our test game for all worker moves, so i think it should happen here as well.
Yes, but IBT it is still empty plain! We cant put Labor on it. ss assumes it, however.

I cant see how road on GL may help us in close future.

May be we consider Pottery first with forest cut for early Granary?
 
I think "yes" because of despo penalty.
I can confirm this. Despo penalty takes the third away... Nevertheless we should plan as many coastal towns as possible, as we don't want to stay in Despo for long, right?! ;)

what means this?
in this round writing?
No idea yet about the tech rate. It means +12 or +9 extra beakers from second town, depending on when we found it.

No, the irrigation will finish one turn early, and it will even finish before our own interturn, so it's like 2 turns early!! I've been using this "feature" in my PBEMs for more than a year now. We can already use the extra food, even though right-clicking on the worker still says "2 turns left".

Agree.

on growth you don´t get any extra commerce, because i think commerce is calculated before food and hence before growth.
That's right.
 
Regarding on when we can work out the alternative with Pottery first: I will need tomorrow night for finishing GOTM108... So the earliest for me would be Tuesday night.

Techrate 200
Seems that we have a Techrate of 180.
Worf has only see Mapsize 80x70.
He check it with Friepa
an friepa und worf:
hi,
kurze Frage. Wurde die techrate wie geplant wirklich auf 200 gesetzt?
In unseren sandkasten-/testsave sind die techkosten höher obwohl wir 200 eingestellt haben.
friepa said:
Hallo Memento,
an den Techkosten wurde von meiner Seite nichts verändert. Wurde das im Vorfeld festgelegt, so wurde ich über diesen Umstand nicht informiert.
Beste Grüsse,
friepa

@memento

Ich finde nur diese Umfrage, die 180 besagt.

Now, Worf stop the Game
