RBP7 [SPOILERS] - The Chronicles of Nyania

[nabaxo]

That's why I asked.

With construction we might finally rid the world of, eh, I always forget who our neighbor is...Azza?

[Lord Parkin]

Perhaps... we'll certainly be in a better position to consider it, anyway. He's got a rather large number of Archers around, so finishing him off won't be something to take on lightly - even with Catapults.

There's really no urgency though... he's no threat to us, and we've still got room for plenty more cities. We can fit at least six more decent ones within our own backyard by my count, plus a number of additional fillers - so may as well found some of those first. Indeed, with the current plan we should be gaining 4-5 cities over the next ~10 turns.

[Lord Parkin]

If you want to plant 2N of the spices...
If you want to plant the legal spot 7S of the spices...

How much space do those guys have between their borders over there?

Also, all this diplomacy between the civs on the other side of the world is rather boring. I say... fight, fight, fight!

[Lord Parkin]

A half-price Courthouse up in Pwnage means another specialist slot for our GP machine.



Our next GP could be any of four different things. Most likely it'll be another Scientist of course, but we could also get an Engineer, or (less likely) an Artist or Spy. Will be interesting to see... either way I'm sure we can find a good use for them.

Construction is in, so it's Catapult time in Aybabtu.



We'll found a new city west of Powerthirst next turn to make use of our Silk resource. It'll also have the ability to share the Pig from Powerthirst and the Horse from Your Johnson if needed.

Any ideas for a name for this new Silk (+Pig/Horse) city? "Silky Smooth"? "Rarity"?

Our GNP is pretty much the same as it was before we switched civics. Well... except that this is our breakeven rate with no Wealth builds, rather than our 100% rate with Wealth builds. Of course, still a lot of cultural contamination there from a bunch of wonders + Steles, but not too bad.

Spiderpig.

[Lord Parkin]

Spiderpig.

Ooh, that's a good one too...

[Rowain]

Of course, still a lot of cultural contamination there from a bunch of wonders + Steles, but not too bad.

I wonder what you would call great

But you do make nearly as many beakers (257) as your rival best makes GNP (271).

What would your GNP look like with 100% abd wealth builds?

[Lord Parkin]

I wonder what you would call great

Well, when you subtract off the extra culture and take account of the fact that others have been above 300 in past turns, we haven't really got much of a lead. And it's only in beakers per turn, not in total tech - judging from scores without wonders. So more of a gap would always be good.

What would your GNP look like with 100% abd wealth builds?

Well, the Wealth builds are fairly easy to tell... just add the MFG count to the GNP. Probably another 50-100 if we went to 100%. Though of course we wouldn't do that, since there are far too many important things to build to spend time static on Wealth.

[Lord Parkin]

Here's city number 13. If I'd been better organized the Stele would have been chopped on the turn it was founded... never mind, it'll only be slightly delayed.



Finished Courthouse number 8 this turn, so the Forbidden Palace is now available. Thinking of building it in Nyan City, so would need to wait for the Palace to be shifted to Pwnage first. Other options are Double Rainbow (over near Azza), which would be okay though a slow build... in Trololopolis, which would be faster but not ideally placed... or on the island to the north, which would probably take the longest (and possibly not be ideal anyway).

[nabaxo]

I say closer to Azza, we'll probably annex his lands sooner rather than later.
