Turns 21-40

[Whomp]

I just chalk their slow start to their team’s personality.

Getting a settler pump going isn’t simple for some people.

• First you have to pick someone to be in charge of the process; usually a guy, but sometimes things are tough at work for the expected party and he just doesn’t have the gumption to play that night.
• Next you have to make sure you have food; Italian is a good choice in my experience, so long as you go easy on the garlic.
• Then you have to time things right; too fast and your happy home disappears.
• Don’t forget about protection; you don’t need unwelcome ‘guests’ ruining domestic bliss, those little barbarians ruin things and cost money.
• And then there are arguments about who gets to be the turn player.

The Council has had a soft start and they will no doubt limp along for awhile, but now that they have the kinks worked out I’m sure they are pretty excited.

No sir, getting a settler pump up and running is a rather tricky process for the type of personality that would name their nation after a bureaucratic entity. As opposed to us happy anarchists, we just need opportunity.


Sorry

Ummm...
hmm....how about one of these Booti?

Silly kids these days!.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Marry me Booti
... and yes I do realize that this will not happen D) and would be kinda wrong in a few ways.

 

[Wotan]

Settler in position to found MS next turn. That is about it. Hef's back to size 4 next turn and then we need to MM until the Settler is ready. Not that much probably in hindsight, 5th citizen on incense and running at 4 fpt for three turns.

Free is as far as we know yet the only other team to surely run at 5fpt, Council could be but not any evidence to rule out anthing else. the last two used three turns each on size 4 now. Free has Kuningas and he is also a food junkie so no surprise there.

As I said, sorry. While I think puns should be outlawed, double entendre is something of a passion of mine.

And thanks for the offer Boern, but lets just stay friends

 

[gmaharriet]

And thanks for the offer Boern, but lets just stay friends

Well, if you and I weren't already both married, I'd be proposing also.

 

[Kickbooti]

With your baking skills Gma, now I'm reconsidering. After all, it takes a lot to keep a body like this up

 

[Wotan]

Back in the lead I guess, Writing in 3 turns now. Generating 17 gpt.
FREE have now generated their second Settler, two turns after us. Since we take 5 turns for our current we should be one turn ahead after he is finished. I guess they too run a 4 turn factory?
MS set to build a Warrior, followed by a Worker.
LF will finish a Warrior next turn, suggest we build another first and then switch to two consecutive Curraghs.
Have added some dots, two alternative patterns. It all comes down to density and utilization. All grasslands and the forest suggested are without shields. The Warrior currently mapping will reach the mountain NW of Hef's on the same turn the next settler is ready giving us full info on the northern lands.
What name should our next city be given?

 

[Tubby Rower]

that cow/wheat location up north looks mighty enticing.

If possible, it would be nice if one of the next couple of cities builds a settler or even the pyramids to get some nice additional growth

EDIT:: as far as the warrior out of LF moving through the western mountains sounds like a very good option to me. next city = Li-Lo Rehab?

 

[Wotan]

Evil thought? What if we are placed on five identical islands?

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Then the council might have moved SW on the hill ...

 

[ThERat]

you guys are very creative, so what are the names for our new cities that will be planted soon?

 

[Robi D]

Trumps Tower
Abramovics Stadium
Hughes Airfield

That's 3 big boys who like there big toys

 

[Robi D]

Then again why limit ourselfs to just entrepreneurs

Idis Madhouse
Stalins Gulag
Imelds Shoeshop
Queen Vics Slave Emporium
Pol Pots Slauterhouse
Kims Nuclear Powered Cinema
Maos Great leap
Bush jnr. Bombing Run
Clintons Bombing Run
Bush snr. Bombing Run
Regans Bombing Run
Carters Bombing Run
Nixons Bombing Run .............

We have hundreds of potential city names then

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'm more for actual babes, like Sharon's icepick, Kylie's heels or Paris' wallet

 

[Wotan]

And we might want to leave political figures out if it.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Agreed, some people might be actual pro-bombing republicans out there or bombing victims and while I doubt anyone would refrain from picking on Kim's cinema (where he probably is taller than Tom Cruise even when Tom is projected on the nuclearly huge screen), it may affect people who live closer to Korea and have that jolly fellow for a neighbor.

 

[Wotan]

Pretty uneventful:

 

[Wotan]

Next turn the Settler is ready. Will move it to the mountain, after having sent the Warrior in advance to make sure it is safe.

 

[Tubby Rower]

so is the next city (Li-Lo Rehab) going 1 NW of the mountain or 1 N? it would be nice to get those silks under our borders in case the workers have absolutely nothing else to do. but that's not necessary currently as we have one lux already now.

Are you going to be sending Hef's MP as escort? I would prefer that since there are baddies out there. Also Hef will drop to 3 for a couple of turns so the lux rate shouldn't need to be too high

 

[Wotan]

Iwould say the exact position is to some extent dependant on what the wrrior reveals when he moves onto the mountain NW. What the area there would be helped most from 1 NW or 1 N?

And the MP will lead so we do not end up with a barb next to trhe settler.
