[SPOILERS]Prep, Coin, Concede

[Gawdzak]

Not bad at all. Are you still top in food?

Nope, someone overtook me last turn. I'm 99% sure it's Jowy, who's up to 11 cities I believe.

I'm on 8 cities and have two settlers en-route, along with the Rep happiness, hopefully I will be able to catch up.

[OT4E]

Have you got more room to expand or that's just fillers?
What's the plan for economics? Use rep just for happiness or make some kind of specialists+cottages hybrid?

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

I'm impressed you've kept the production up despite a 2 front war. Mids is a good play here, how much happy do you have/easily available shortly?

I'm pretty much out of contested land to expand into on the main land. I've still got a few more cities I can backfill. There also seems to be a few islands out there that I can expand into. I will try to grab some screenshots later. The map has around 166 land tiles per player. I've claimed 128 tiles of it already.

My GNP is pretty much in the dumpsters right now because the early wars, so I'm hoping to run a lot of Rep scientists to make up for that. Considering that I have cheap libraries and a lot of food, this seemed to be the best way to stay relevant in the tech race against the likes of Ichabod and BGN, who are both FIN.

I've only got whales and gems right now, and I have sugar, spices and dyes nearby, but those requires Calender which is currently of relative low priority.

The techs I need right now:

Currency (free commerce and wealth builds)
Ironworking (Iron and be able to chop jungle from 2 gems and 2 pigs)
HBR (to defend myself from my crazy neighbours)
Metal Casting (cheap forges and maybe even Colossus)

Unfortunately my tech rate is quite poor, so choices are difficult to make.

I'm going to try for the Great Wall and the Hanging Gardens, hopefully my neighbours can leave me alone a little longer...

T92

9th city:




The overview:




Yes, those are granary builds in my first three cities.

Demos:




Some one teched Alphabet for OB.

T93

One more city:




Settling this city drops my income to a mere 7 gpt, which is always a little scary.

The good thing is that more Rep scientists will be hired to help me get to Currency.

Going to chop a galley out of Ergili to settle the islands ASAP to get some ICTR's, which will be a big boost too.

I looked at my costs and see that Org would save me 12 gpt and even Agg would save me 10 gpt.

Whereas Ind saved me about 150 hammers on the Mids, which isn't bad, but then I wonder whether if I would even need the Mids if I had a different trait instead.

The game is trying to tell me something...

NylesStandish

His only game played was in PB27, where he played like a total troll. Everyone of his neighbours have to be careful not to get their game wrecked by Nyles.

yuris125

Yuri actually have played in a ton of games that I remember. Every game seemed to be the same story. He would overbuild infracture and underbuild military, who eventually gets attacked by a neighbour, and ends his game. I have seen little evidence of Yuri attempting to try to fix this flaw, so I more or less expect the same story.

Not sure what I expected, but NotLikeThis.

Edit: now Ichabod completes the Colossus, this game...

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

Wow. Off to read that thread!

[Gawdzak]

Poor Yuri.




Good thing is that he didn't lose any more cities this turn but he played his turn in 4 minutes with no whips.

Nothing too interesting is going on, just been growing my cities and building infrastructure while waiting for Currency to come in.

Will do some sort of T100 report I guess.
