[SPOILERS] OMFG! There's a Succubus in my Bathhouse! Thoth plays with Tebryn

[Thoth]

On Cities: I think City8 should be 2 tiles west (between pigs and cows) and City9 1 tile north.

To maximize the immediate food available that is

Not a chance. That would put my forward city on flatland instead of a hill. Pigs is good enough to get the city up and running quickly enough to serve it's purpose. Those Cows are pretty much all the hammers City 9 will have (which will be a source of commerce and SFA else without a lot more tech even with the cows)

oh ok. I see where u are going with this.

No turn today, so you get a random thought instead:

With EitB Fin + Consumption + Money Changer + Ingenious, a Merchant Specialist outperforms a non-Arete Mined Plains Hill if the Gold is used for upgrading.

[NobleHelium]

Are non-Arete mined plains hills hard to come by?

[Thoth]

Are non-Arete mined plains hills hard to come by?

No, but then again, neither are Fin Merchant slots.

[Mardoc]

Are non-Arete mined plains hills hard to come by?

No, but then again, neither are Fin Merchant slots.

Yeah, the tough part of that formula is Money Changers and Fin/Ing. I think that's just the stumpies, late game?

[Tasunke]

What happens when you throw under council into that equation? Do they get close to tying up with arête mined hills?

[Thoth]

Fin/Ing is Kandros only. Money Changers aren't all that tough for a Fin leader (and can come earlyish with a Currency bulb )

What happens when you throw under council into that equation? Do they get close to tying up with arête mined hills?

Undercouncil adds another 10% bringing the Merchant to 5.4 gold. Arete mined PH is 5h. So roughly equivalent.




OFC, a riverside plains Hamlet outperforms both the Mine and the Merchant.

any updates?

[Thoth]

No updates....no turns played.

Kyan's on holliday so no game until next week.
