Mooooooo.... wait, wrong animal. Neeeigghhh

[Square Leg]

I have spent some time putting together a quick micro sheet. Here is an example of what it contains, spoilered due to width:

I'm not totally confident that I have done everything correctly but we shall wait and see. It is plagiarised from spulla in pb2 for those that wondered. If I have got things right we should have 5 warriors on T50 for Orthus defence. Any comments feel free to ask and if someone spots any errors I'd love to know.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how can Ascot be building a Worker on T44 (presumably finishing it EoT 44), and still increase the food box from 11/28 on T44 to 23/28?

Also, unless you're in a golden age, the center tile should only be at a 2/2/1 yield.

[Iskender]

Looks great so far. to the RNG for being gentle so far.

We actually might be first to have a 2nd city (apart from the Illians, who's got two at 8 and 5).

You weren't missing anything - that food box was a mistake. Turns out I made a few mistakes but now I can fix them! The centre tile yield is 2/2/1 however I have added the palace hammer to it so I don't forget about it, hence 2/3/1.

I think we have a pretty good chance of taking that honour! We beat off a Lion last turn and got 2xp for a flawless victory on one of our warriors which was sweet too!

Turn 44

An update on what Pedigree has found....

Drum roll....

Interesting! Graveyards are the most likely place you are going to pop a tech. There are 4 options:

- Skellies
- Spectres
- Gold
- Tech

I'm not sure of the weightings there but fingers crossed we get the last option! Popping Education or BW for example would be really sweet!

The land is also pretty nice. Plenty of rivers, it is quite flat, we may benefit from throwing down a lumber mills in the future.

Back at the capital we finished the 2nd worker:

And we grow next turn... see one of my micro mistakes? The food box is a lot smaller than I had it! I'm going back to make some corrections and I'll put a new sheet up soon for scrutiny.

[Square Leg]

I have adjusted the micro sheet and improved it considerably!

So, now what you see under each turn is the situation as it should be when the save is opened. For example, turn 44 which I played last night had Mysticism with 34/200:



And on hitting end turn it will have increased to 50/200

[disclaimer]This isn't necessarily the best micro, I have worked to get the sheet operational first[/disclaimer]

So here it is up to T50:

Comments as always are welcome!

Still not had a new turn to play but things should start moving properly again after today. I have spent some more time sorting out my micro sheet. I had all the food boxes wrong in the last one and I didn't like the formatting so I changed that.

Here is the result: Micro sheet version 2

It is a lot more colourful and hopefully more accurate as a result! I need to look up the tech cost of animal husbandry of course.

Iskender - something we need to discuss is whether to swap into god king straight away. My gut feeling is that we will want to do this. It will knock 2t off the settler we are planning to build (mainly thanks to a plains hill mine (6h in GK!) finishing the same turn) but cost obviously 1t of anarchy. As a result we will save 1t.

The settler will be done t60 and our 3rd city settled shortly afterwards depending on where we choose to lay our bed.

I know we talked about building a warrior in Epsom once it is founded but I was thinking that we could we build a scout instead. He could go pop that hut in the west and beat on the wolf over there for some easy xp.

Turn 46

I founded Epsom! We have beaten the sidar to 2 cities for sure - I would bet that we have beaten everyone else except the Ilians. Everything went as per the latest micro sheet except the research bar... which I had made an error in and I am now correcting...

[Square Leg]

Got totally carried away with the spreadsheet and taken it to T60 - I'll stop now!

Here is is: Micro Sheet

Highlights

- Mysticism eot 51
- Revolt to God King T52
- AH eot 58
- Settler for city 3 completes eot 57
- Worker 3 completes eot 59
- T60 we should have cities 6/4/1 depending on if we have walked our settler into place and founded or not, 3 workers, 8 warriors.

All of this assumes Orthus pisses off somewhere else.
