[SPOILER] Darius of Ottomans - Vets - Krill

[Rowain]

An AW-game with all the peacefull civics in use

[Krill]

I wouldn't call them peaceful civics if I'm buying 5 Cav a turn, and building 3 more...

[Krill]

I can get Lin in 2 if I put everything towards research. I haven't seen Cyneheards' research this turn, possibly because he just finished Alphabet. Nor have I seen sunrises for a couple of turns, but what I do know is that I was the first to finish Philo.

I can give everyone a single turns worth of notice that I'll get Lib, before it lands, and that should be enough to stop anyone from teching it unless they are right behind me...but, well, I'm working a billion cottages, and have 400 bpt. Even if the others have Academy and Bureau, the rest of their cities can't be that great, and none of hte other major contenders are Fin.

[Krill]

Oh, and the best bit? Toaism was founded in my newest city for the rice/crabs that no one can see That means no one will get informed of the founder, so no one knows for certain that I founded it. Cyneheard will probably say I discovered it based on researching Philo earlier and that I don't have a tech set for research when he opens the save (in hindsight I could have queued up something cheap like Compass to hide that fact, but, well, a tech like that would have been completely see through. And I don;t want to broadcast the fact I don't have Machinery to anyone. I could have set GP though, and that would have lead to some fun fallout).

[Krill]

Ok, now that's an update! Seems like a week ago that you were complaining when Bluebell Bay turned out to miss the iron. Now it's knocking out the Pyramids in 15 turns. What's the big giant jump in your hammer production over the last two turns? I don't think that counts Industrious bonus.



Demographics: 0.30 * (100 + Their EP spent against you)
Research: 0.75 * (100 + Their EP spent against you)
Visibility: 1.20 * (100 + Their EP spent against you) * city espionage multiplier (from distance, religion, etc)
Investigate: 2.00 * (100 + Their EP spent against you) * city espionage multiplier (from distance, religion, etc)

These are wrong. In game I have 203v183 EP against sunrise, which means I should need 213 EP to see his research, yet I can see his research with only 203 EP. I think it must have a bit where total EP is taken into account? Ah, no, the % EP cost that is shown next to the name in the EP screen is then multiplied by the EP cost in the above formulae, to give the new total needed. How do you come to that percentage modifier then?

[Krill]

Last turn, finish Alphabet at 100%. This turn, set everything to research, and go through each cityhalfa dozen times, tweaking hte work force.

I turns this:

Into this:

No one has seen my research in the past 4 turns

And past 6 games I've played, either myself or someone I've been allied with has gotten Lib. Quite pleased with that record.

Well done, congratulations!

[Ruff_Hi]

Well done Krill. More importantly ... well done Realms Beyond ... we finally have spoilers!!

[Krill]

Cheers guys. I'll try to do the turn 100 turn report sometime today, but I've just come off a night shift and should really go to bed...it'll likely happen later.

Techs Others have over me:

Machinery (All)
Guilds (Cyneheard, Kylearan from t106, Whosit from t108)
Engineering (Darrell)
Lit (Cyneheard, sunrise, Kylearan)
Music (sunrise)
Theology (Cyneheard)

Techs I have that others don't (by player):

Darrell: Meditation, Monotheism, Monarchy, Fuedalism, Aesthetics, Drama, Alphabet, Paper, Philospohy, Education, Lib, Nationalism.

Cyneheard: Philosophy, Paper, Education, Lib, Nationalism, Alphabet

Whosit: Meditation, Priesthood, CoL, CS, Aesthetics, Alphabet, Drama, Philo, Paper, Education, Lib, Nationalism.

sunrise: Drama, Fued, Alphabet, Lib, Nationalism. (NB: sunrise could have beaten me to Lib, but he took the same short cut as me in ignoring Guilds).

Kylearan: Meditation, Monotheism, CoL, CS, Alphabet, Calendar, Education, Lib, Philo, Nationalism.

OK, so for some reason the test I ran in SP showed that I couldn't see others techs, but obviously we can see each others techs in game. That changes things...Everyone knows I can't build Maces or knights now, so I need to get GP next (takes 2 turns with a little extra push I think). But then I'm about 7 turns from Cuirs (inc Lit/Music)...but I also want PP, and Banking, and want Democracy for US in about 20 turns...argh.
