Turns 21-40

[Wotan]

with both the FP and the oasis irrigated LF will generate 5fpt!!! So should be able to run a Warrior/Worker combo at size 5. With 17% waste it will require 6 spt for it to happen and that requires working irr. FP, irr. oasis, mined Sugar and two irrigated plains. That is 27 Worker actions including moves. Adding 12 actions if we are to have roads in all tiles too for our ecomomies sake? With the worker ready in 12 turns it would have the operation finished in between 39 and 51 turns depending on how much roading we want to do and with no extra worker added which is highly unlikely since the timeframe suggest additional Workers leaving the production line. I just wanted to do the maths so we have something to relate to when planning.

EDIT: Our territory is sure Worker friendly with lots of surplus food generating tiles. So sure I am all for having more than 1 Worker per location during the buildup phase. With all the jungle added to teh equation there is definitely no risk they will become idle.

EDIT2: I have not heard anyone voice any other opinion than philo next so I guess we are set to go that road.

 

[ThERat]

looking good...Wotan if you are too scared of barbs you can always pull the current warrior over, it's only 3 moves to the volcano...worth thinking about it

edit: philo was the plan and I don';t see any reason to change that

 

[Wotan]

Not really that scared... A bit of play acting for the audience. Trying to create a bit of cliffhanger feeling.

Well, the map is definitely "player friendly", not often one sees such a nice map with an abundance of goodies. Having a couple of additional luxuries maybe would have been to ask for too much.

LF would need to pull a worker or two before growing to completion then.

that's hilarious

 

[Wotan]

LF would need to pull a worker or two before growing to completion then.

That would also shorten the number of turns required to get it set up. I will take some time next weekend and plan it in detail. So we can have it optimized.

If you have not understood so earlier I am a micromanaging monster... You guys sure you are aware of what you have unleached in this team...

Building up both the suspense, the empire and the Wotan I-told-you-so machine all at once

 

[Wotan]

Oh yes! Multitasking at full speed!

I'm playing SGOTM in team with klarius. And Northern pike has played on previous SGOTM teams with both of us on separate teams. He forsaw a real clash of opinions... Will not tell you how it has developed so far since it might be regarded as spoiler info...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I can imagine just fine, but still can't wait to finish it on our end and look around

 

[Whomp]

Hahaha!! Wotan you're classic. I have to say that your rant in SGOTM11 sent shivers down any noob on this boards spine and SGOTM12 is....well....interesting to say the least. I think Beorn will be dishing a dose of rant after my turnset.

Having mm'ers in this game is huge. It's how MIA won last game since their turnplayer (a actuary) Chamnix operates the same way.

I can't see anyone beating us to philo. What would be nice is if we met someone and negotiate a sling. I'm not counting on it but it would be huge.

 

[Wotan]

Well, I still have a hard time understanding that guys attitude and way of playing his turns in SGOTM11, he had a simple plan to follow but could not allow himself to make any adjustments to citizen use in a single turn he played. Also disregarded any advise and. Well it is history now I guess. But players with his attitude should not go on a team and play a game...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I liked RickFGS for that: on our SGOTM11 team, we argued a strat, when it came to his turns he planned to do his things regardless and he ended giving up, going AWOL off of not wanting to play the team.

EDIT: I just noticed he is on in this MTDG, too.

 

[Robi D]

i must say i'm surprised reading the turn tracker thread that GONG is so inactive given the players in the team.

As for us good job on the Micro managing but its given me a headache so please fins another team so we can get to the fun stuff

 

[Wotan]

What is the fun stuff that will suddenly appear if we stop MMing? No really sure I understand this comment?

 

[Tubby Rower]

Robi is more into diplo than MMing. So he's just anticipating being a conniving little jerk to the other teams. But they'll think that he's helping them

 

[Wotan]

OK, now I understand his remark!

I am sure we are doing everything we can to be of service Robi, but we have some home front issues to address before venturing out into the great unknown. Like making sure our party is not crashed by unwelcome barbs...

EDIT: If I could someday learn to press the correct keys and in the correct order I will become an even happier person...

Hope to play another turn tonight, last turn cycle problems for GONG might make them act fast this time. I am sure Kuningas will play his teams save any minute now. it is 4:40PM in Finland now.

 

[Whomp]

Wotan I think you'll be amazed with the tangled webs that can be woven in human to human diplo. Every word is analyzed even non words like hmm, getting information without giving any, structuring deals/alliances etc. send the game into a whole other strasosphere. Luckily, we have some silver tongued foxes on this team.

 

[Tubby Rower]

basically all of the good diplo people from last game except IronGold (fe333au) are on this team. Whomp, BCLG100 and of course Robi. Contributions from kickbooti are always nice. I personally suck but enjoy listening in on IM conversations

 

[Wotan]

The human/human interface in the MTDG is one of the aspects I look forward to discover in this game. I would probably not be the diplomat of choice so will definitely be a silent bystander... I think you all agree that is something that will benefit us. Not much is gained from gunboat diplomacy in this game and I believe that to be the only form I master...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

A shame we can't unleash the admiral into all of it this time around.
