[SPOILERS] ipecac wants a win

[naufragar]

Oh my! Loss without even a single hit when attacking at 99.3%   Tough luck indeed

+1

[ipecac]

T91:

WLP builds the Mahabodhi. I'm not sure which of WLP or wetbandit is the biggest threat to win. WLP has great expanding techs and eventually most of Charriu's land, wetbandit has Pyramids and Keshiks and Boudicca.

I would offer OB to the other. If I make the wrong choice it could just lose the game. Maybe one of them will help to settle the question by Oracling CS.

Paranoia is preventing me from signing OB with Dark Savant. It'd be all right if OT4E wasn't dedlurking him. Maybe yuris?

Alternatively superdeath could get himself some island cities, it's not that hard

[ipecac]

Yuris razed the barb city. What I did not expect is that he reinforced his axe with a spear and resettled on the same spot.

That's not too bad an outcome though. Stone is 2nd ring for him and I can plant so that it's first ring for me, and stone is what I really wanted. And no war decs between us, so OB for trade routes is still a possible.

In other news, I have alphabet, and am going for Oracle. In 3t I should get it, no choice really because I need to deny it.

[ipecac]

JR4 and Dark Savant's power are spiking again. I still have to take the risk.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Yeow at that barb loss. 99.3% loss is bad enough but a flawless loss is so much worse. Like the Cavs in game 4 bad. Didn't even show up to play.

[ipecac]

There's a marble between JR4 and me, Dark Savant and me, as well as a stone between Yuris and me. I have them all



....for now, at least.

[ipecac]

Logged into OB offers from wetbandit and Charriu. I reoffered to Charriu, but declined wetbandit has Currency. Wetbandit just founded Confucianism too, so he could be making an Oracle bulb of CS play.

So this might be a coinflip:

   

No one really should have left Oracle until so late.

[ipecac]

Alea jacta est

[ipecac]

So what's the knight beeline look like?

I have the Oracle and Currency now. Need to think about whether I want to tech Math and maybe Construction along the way, or direct beeline along the lines of IW->HBR->Monarchy->Feud->MC->Machinery->Guilds

[ipecac]

Calendar gives 4 happy too, and I might need the Epics and try for GLib.

Prioritising what to do in the Classical era is not a strength of mine. I'll probably end up winging it. Current plan: IW (for 2x gems)-> Math->Calendar
