Is that character a variant? (I just love getting asked that in channel.) - Charis

Will the barb city build archers? and how long will it take to get another unit over?

He paid Lady Luck back for that copper city battle in his first (unsuccessful) attempt to take your capital. wink

Nah, he shouldnt have maybe had AS bad of luck, but he didnt really have much of a chance to take it the first time. But a FLAWLESS victory vs the copper city? bang

Did you sim it? Comm did and expected to win.

Quote:Sims had us losing two less and killing two more; losing an 85% really hurt.

Comm expected to win the copper city battle too, the surprise was that he didn't lose any skirms when he expected to lose 2-3 of them. I'm not sure which of those battles was the least likely result, but in terms of units killed/lost they about balance out.

Oh hey look, we have an economy again. Three more cities in the next two turns, so that'll be a brief flash in the pan.

The big choice next is Math vs. Metal Casing vs. Code of Laws. Ideally they'd be in that order, but it's not a sure thing we can delay work on Courthouses -> Forbidden Palace that long.

How much is your per-city maintenance up to, anyway? Have you hit the conqueror's plateau yet?

Per-city is somewhere around 4gpt, depending on the size of the city. Distance maintenance is a bit interesting: everything on the main island is up around the 2gpt range. The far-flung Dallas is up over 5 and has a total maintenance near 10. (Makes me wonder about that barb city way out west, which is something like another 20 tiles west of Dallas, but it's still worth claiming that land.

Total we're spending almost 100 on city maintenance.

Nowhere near the plateau yet. It's a huge map, although...

Pindicator: Oh wow, didn't realize it was that much
I guess that shows just how much water there is
Commodore: So so much water
I think we're dead if we don't reach Optics before BGNu/Rusten make Astronomy.
Pindicator: Seems reasonable
Might even be worth slowing the expansion to keep research higher?
Commodore: Um, maybe?
Want to keep claiming "out" though.
Silver Island, Peninsula facing BGNu
So as much we want to REX all the places, watching GNPd makes me think that we need to slow our roll somewhat. Still, we need to claim outer lands...

...and be a little better about scouting the local places...

I guess a real question is if we should ignore the beefy Feudalism path in favor of Astronomy first. Wines tellin' me no, but Rusten's GNP is tellin' me yes.

The Battle of Kessite
Was dull...

...but the SACK of Kessite funds us to Mathematics in one turn.
