Wot no updates?

Barely anything to update mate. Jowy had a rare slow turn (he's normally really prompt) and Cull is doing his usual 2day+ turns.

I *did* get Oracle in Orennaí though and grabbed Metal casting. Up to 5 cities and settler en route to 6th. I believe second place civ has 3 cities.

Gonna have to be REALLY careful though as my score has skyrocketed. Everyone else is hovering just under 200 in score and im at around 300 with a lot of land points soon to go and in process of building hanging gardens...

How do you compare in terms of the Power graph?

What's one of those?

[SIZE="5"]Turn 50 Update[/SIZE]

Science 0% = +25gold
Science 100% = -13gold and 42 beakers.

With TT's furs about to finish being improved next turn this will increase further of course.

Research set to monotheism. I want to leverage OR and my forges to ensure a powerhouse production base.

Cultural Overview:



Capital-Kyaen:



Currently building aqueduct as you can see. There are 3 forests pre-chopped which i'll save for the gardens. Both workers will shortly go hook up the stone and road it followed by heading back and finishing the chops on these for the added benefit on hanging gardens. Whilst this is all building the capital's growth will explode, especially with my recently hooked up food resources.

I'll intentionally stifle this by working 2 scientists for a 12turn academy after HG is complete. This is just enough time to ensure i get a G Scientist before my Prophet pops in Orennaí.

Orennaí Manor:



Producing a quick worker who will head north to my soon-to-be founded city. I think i'll queue up another worker next as it can produce them quickly as more workers is ALWAYS good.

Marshall Mines:



Currently building a worker who will then assist the other worker down there in getting this city fully prep'd. I intend to grow it on farms as quickly as possible using my high happy cap and then grab all the nearby hills. Forge is going to be a priority here but will chop into it.

Swissika:



Pasture completes next turn and worker will then hook up the pigs also. Priorities here are simply to hook up the resources for now. I'll whip the granary to completion using the heavy food surplus here.

Twinkletopolis:



Furs complete next turn. Growing onto a riverside grassland cottage. Worker here will road up the furs next.

Next City:



This is where my settler is en route to.Great site and on my border with Cull.

Demo's:



Please note that GNP figure is with me at 0% science. When at 100%, it reads '1' all the way down

Military:



Yeah it's slacking and shows my need for more workers.


Diplo:

I've managed to successfully persuade Strike to attack Jowy and Cull has lost a city to Malakai. I have a long NAP with Strike.

I have a 5 turn auto-renewing NAP with Cull. I could easily get a longer one as he has been offering but i need to keep my options open on one border at least. For the near future im afraid im gonna be boring to lurk though and keep this snowball rolling on the economy.

EDIT: Added correct picture. I am the master of guessing image URLs. -Sullla

Thanks for th update, and thanks for naming a strong city after me

[pocketbeetle]

That's a serious food number Kyan.

Is there a worker on the silver at the moment? Can't tell from the ss.
What are your thoughts on forge before aquaduct/HG?

[novice]

I'll intentionally stifle this by working 2 scientists for a 12turn academy after HG is complete. This is just enough time to ensure i get a G Scientist before my Prophet pops in Orennaí.

Are you hiring those scientists in your capital? That sounds like a 9 turn great person, with 25% odds for an engineer? Still a good deal, though.

[pocketbeetle]

Just poking you for an update Kyan.
I’m guessing either life picked up, or the girlfriend cracked down.

Either way, hope to hear from you soon!

[Kyan]

Hey everyone, sorry for no posts. I was (once again) becoming disillusioned with this game due to the slow pace. I'll do you a full update now on how things have evolved since turn 50.
