[SPOILERS] Serdoas and Nobles Thread with a little bit of Gaspar sprinkled in

[NobleHelium]

It's fine dude, we can build both remaining cottages for Overspark and still get a worker there roughly on time. I already planned for that.

Not sure what you mean by the archer names - do you mean our chariot? Heh. You can name units after Hearthstone developers or something: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Team_5

[Serdoa]

K, that's great

And I meant taotaos chariot. His Axe has a name, so did his scout, but his chariot hasn't. And it is sad. Just a friendly banter so he has something to post about in his thread. And I hope I didn't break any rules with that.

(Of course, someone will tell me that I'm just doing that so I can figure out how close they look at our border...)

Also, to strengthen Nobles point that we are doing well:

[Serdoa]

Also I'm pretty sure it showed 5.18% world population when I opened that screen. I guess someone planted a city in those few minutes between seeing the screen and taking a screenie?

Further I think we had 23 or 24 pop at that moment. If that is 5.08% of the total, the total should be between 453 and 472. So around 20 pop per player on average.

I still don't remember: Does the victory-screen only compare you with those civs you already know or with all civs?

[GermanJoey]

IIRC, victory screen compares you to just civs that you know, while the demographics screen compares you globally. But then the demoscreen population number is all fucked up. CY is the better thing to look at there, but then that biases a bit towards "more cities" vs "tall cities."

I think you guys are doing pretty well, for whatever my opinion is worth? You guys don't post demos and empire shots very much, but when you do they look pretty good. Lotta late-game potential and tempo-control to look forward to with your combo too....

[NobleHelium]

"Highest rival" on the victory screen is out of people you know, but the percentages are out of everyone in the game and not just the ones we've met. Also, opponent percentages are rounded down so we're not actually ahead of taotao - but still, we're doing decently.

First Gaspar/Noble chat on these boards in a year or better and no jokes. I feel like I must apologize to the legions of adoring fans.

That's because it was censored...not that this is a particularly good one.

i replied!
NobleHelium
yes, our new anti-mackoti strategy will be to attribute everything good to him so that nobody will take him as a teammate in the future
so as to not let him steal their glory
Gaspar
lol
perfect!

[Serdoa]

Don't know if you realized Noble, but we got Silver from Donovan. Means we can go up to 7 pop in Nat without being unhappy. For now.

[Serdoa]

I gave the gold back to Overspark and had Blingtron take the cottage. Feel free to change it back if you had anything particular in mind about that configuration.

[NobleHelium]

Yeah I saw that but I think we should still send the warrior to Blingtron for MP in the future. The city will accelerate its growth as it gains more flood plains tiles.

[NobleHelium]

I moved the injured chariot to the Paletress city tile, we'll heal faster that way.

[Serdoa]

Noble, for the worker at the capital, I think we should not build the mine 1S. We already have the PH mine that we are not working, so even growing to 6 won't have us work unimproved tiles. Come pop 7 we should have workers there for building the roads for the NE-city, so that shouldn't be an issue I think.

Also I misclicked the worker that should build the road to Ragnaros to 1N instead of 1NW.

I'm not sure how to best handle that. Have that capital worker come up there and help and then chop a Granary? Start building the roads to the NE-city with him and simply accept the 1 turn delay at Ragnaros? Come up with the worker at Blingtron that will be free there next turn when the cottage finishes?

Any ideas? I've left the worker at the capital unmoved till we have decided.
