Team Bring It! Omnibus thread

Jkean: AFAIK, you're the only person on this team who's been here since the beginning, are there any long term plans that we need to try and take into account? Or are we coming up with a gameplan based on where we are at?

From the looks of things, Spulla have bagged pretty much every wonder so far, and are looking to be in position to grab Lib, Taj and UoS (if they want it, given our lack of Religion spread and Religious buildings to date I don't think we want this wonder. If the rest of the team thinks we want to make a run at this wonder, we can probably do it. But we'll need to chat about where we want it and how we're going to chop it/whip it.

IIUC, Diplo victory is on, so we might have an outside chance at the AP for some extra hammers from Religious Buildings. Probably not, but something worth at least taking a look at.

Turn played.

1 Fast worker 3 pop whipped, 2 more in production (due next turn). Two farms and one (capital) cottage built. Corn hooked and offered to Mongolia. Iron and Copper offered to Mongolia (please accept, India needs the 10h happies).

One Luddite Archer killed in the south by a HA. Covered by an Archer vs Sulla's Archer. HA now at 3/2 xp.

Acutally, it's always war, not CTON.

I figure diplo is best handled via Cha Keshiks/Knights. wink

Can you win by AP in an always war game? Seems unlikely that any religion would spread to every team...

You can't win that way, but if the victory isn't enabled, you can't even build the AP.

I wasn't think of an AP win. wink Just the bonus hammers. I don't *think* it's worth it even if we can land the AP. We don't have any Temples or Monastaries yet plus we still need to spread Confucianism to more than two cities. That's a lot of hammers that could go into settlers/keshiks/forges/more keshiks/workers/more keshiks ect.


I'm throwing out ideas as they come to me. smile We are well behind the leaders, conventional gameplay isn't going to help much. We'll need some out of the box thinking and well designed, well coordinated plans if we want to have any shot at this.


I noted while I was poking around the game that our neighbours to the East (Team 3?) don't have Fuedalism yet.....wink

Ok, I can build ships in all my cities.

A couple of questions:

1) Can we build ships from our ports? Eyeballing the map suggests not, but India doesn't have any ports so I can't tell for sure.

2) What is France's BPT rate at 100% currently? And what is your gold burn rate at 100%?)

HA! Managed to play the turn with three minutes left on the clock.

1) Yes, we can.

2) It's 108 BPT and it costs -26 gold/turn.

Noticed that we're on a Huge map size.

This is good (we can draft up to 5 units per turn per civ) and bad (we need 8! Universities for each Oxford we want to build)
