The Quarterdeck - Turn Discussion Thread

If we are making a play for Mono, and converting to Judaism, then monk economy would flow naturally on...only thing to weigh up is whether all those hammers put into temples and prophets can be better spent on an army to go do smack some neighbours?

Being SPI will mean super-cheap temples that pay back for themselves pretty fast with AP and even faster if we can land UoS or Spiral Minaret.

Building an army is actually a really awful investment in terms of improving your economy. Unless you can make a lot of gains with a low amount of hammers, it's usually better to build buildings and tech away. (Of course, if you build too little army then you can lose it all - and there's the rub.)

Or just cottage spam and research it. Theo isn't that expensive.

I agree with this. I don't think that the AP is worth rushing for- we can just expand naturally, and pick up theo when we've got enough economy to research it easily and enough cities with a religion to make it worthwhile. 2H per city isn't really something we can run an economy on, it's just a little bonus.

Who wants to update the captain's log woth a turn report? Or is that for the captain only

I can do it in about 12 hours if nobody is excited to do so

You can if you'd like. I was going to wait until Turn 10 and roll the first 11 turns together into one report, but if you're feeling motivated, by all means, go ahead

Less like motivated, More like obligated
I like the idea of a turn 10 recap for the early stuff. No need to have fifteen reports of "moved warrior, moved scout" in the early stages

I'm turning our scout northwest next turn to check out the center of the wheel - we'll see if Commodore put anything worthwhile in there. Our Quechua is now fortifying the capital. I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen anything of our neighbor to the southwest yet.

Finishing turn revealed horses, we've uncovered what looks like our and TEAM's sources. Worker completes next turn so we can improve the cattle.

End Turn.

Anyone know of any good pirate havens to make into city names? I don't without consulting Google.

Make a list from Sid Meier's Pirates?

Capital is Tortuga surely?
