[PB84 Mjmd] Bounding Main

[Mjmd]

Lets do some catch up.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean - honestly its amazing I haven't done this one before. Its a classic.


I almost wonder if Civac went back and read my PB75 thread. Even if you are leading and my rival there is an interest rate that I find hard to turn down. He sent two. I pinged the first one to Scooter, but he wasn't around, but I wasn't that tempted. But this:



To be fair I didn't know this was the turn he bulbed theology. He then launched a GA, so I'm assuming he wanted something 1 turn earlier. Probably monarchy. Its possible it was worthwhile for both of us. Not sure how bad his happy problems were, but if they were like mine he might have gotten some of his gold back by getting 1 turn earlier, but probably down some still. I got 40 free gold and he was down some amount for his GA. 

Bing settled a city 1 turn too early. Just wait for your workers to be able to farm. And see city song is about. 



My Bonnie will be interesting comparison to Ocean Liner. Both a 4f seafood and both had lots of forests. Both got granaries chopped. My Bonnie got 2 dedicated workers and got its lighthouse chopped, but Ocean Liners had to whip because its workers got divided.

Tarkeel getting mids netted me 183 gold. Talked to Scooter about going serious with it after SD got Oracle, but as noted I decided those workers should go to supporting all the HG cities. Also as noted finished barracks and built a spear. Do I wish I had more gold, but down a spear. Yes. Do I want an additional spear still. Even as #1 power, also yes. 

Current turn T108

Got CoL in Man O war, which was the most likely place. Don't plan on shrining so its ok being in a production city I can spread from.



The wonder I am going serious on is The Colossus. I noticed that SD did not get MC with his Oracle. He probably got math???? Mostly me talking to myself discussion on if I should build in Roll call fast or Capital Ship a bit slower. I was pretty sure going for capital and then realized the workers I wanted were slightly more ahead than I remembered. Will mean I have to do the painful work coasts instead of cottage thing. As org I could justify slow cottage 2 ish times I've gotten, but financial I probably should work the coast. If GLH stays out there eventually my workers will get down to chop and mine Roll calls western forested hill. It was probably a stupid build as it doesn't have a modifier.

Reusing Marching Inland



BECAUSE I used my GE to build MoM there. Not planned, but I also finished Colossus this turn.



Elsewhere I'm doing final round of whips before golden age, which will probably be in 8 turns. I have a ? near some whips. Rolling up down I'm pretty sure should keep growing. Old Maui is interesting. Do I want forge up for GA or just work more Moai tiles. It would make a better mandatory screenshot. Also, probably a keep growing, but curious on Scooter thoughts.

Most of my workers are to the north. Financial Colossus means there isn't much point to workers for coastal cities. Now I am still higher on cottages than most even still, but short on workers and using 4 of them on marching inland for all those jungle tiles.

So Scooter and I had a conversation on what was best for snowballing. Immediate Calendar or CoL. It was honestly a bit confusing and I think we were arguing for the same thing? Went CoL first as I knew I had MoM in the bag unless someone had a heck of a plan.

So does a fast ish engineer mean America is still busted as I thought? Well, I'm forced to conclude America is now only very good. The engineer was a turn late! I mean it was a long walk. But seriously having played America in multiplayer before I can tell its quite a difference. I do still think its very good. 

Oh shoot you noticed I forgot to protect my worker against barbs!

I also forgot for a turn that I have great wall.

What happened to the visual effect of the Great Wall?

[Mjmd]

For reasons I can't remember Great Wall never shows up. IF you roll the turn the turn you build it you do get to see it for 1 turn.

More curious is that I can't see Colossus. That one does normally show. But I appear to be getting the benefits so whatever. Wonder if its buried in the hill.

[Cornflakes]

I think the Great Wall visual is permanent if you roll the turn when it is completed. At least I remember intentionally playing last to roll the turn so that I would get the graphics.
