Do they know that we know that they know that we know that they know ...?

And one more useful link to read

Thanks plako, that spreadsheet looks a very useful base. I'm sure I can fit some procrastination into my day, and find time to copy that across & tweak it

And thanks for the resources, Mist, greatly appreciated

OK, got some stuff set up in there. Isn't it amazing how much one can accomplish when there's something boring one's supposed to be doing instead

Missed out some bits from the PBEM37 model I was following (like I'm not sure we can easily track tech costs before/after meeting people given we can't go back to a save from before we meet them. Please correct me if I'm wrong ). Added some sheets to help figure out some of the demos catergories more closely, see if that turns out useful or not - those sheets should self-propagate from the "Demos" sheet as much as they can.

Changed the permissions on the spreadsheet to anyone-with-link can view, only people with permission can edit. I've added everyone who put their google addy in the other thread to the list of people who can edit. I know I've got limited net access for 7 out of the next 14 or so days (not consecutive), so chances are I'll not be entering data immediately once we get going. Anyone who feels like it can add it, or leave it to me, either works for me So long as someone gets the screenshots then we're good (which can't be me whether I'm here or not, I still don't have a copy of BTS coz the one I ordered was DOA and now I'm waiting on the replacement ).

This is good stuff...it looks like we have turned what I thought might be a team disadvantage to a team advantage . What would be highly useful is a list of screen captures you would like from each turn played. Demographics, graphs, etc.


Thanks!

A one-off screenshot I need early on is the mouseover for the scores - to know what land/pop max points are.

Then every turn we need demographics screen, plus scores. I'd been thinking those needed to be at a specific point in our turn, but on reflection they don't. But they do need to be from before we end turn, so that beginning-of-turn events aren't processed for TEAM, which I think would lead to confusion.

Once we've met people we'll likely want to look at trade screen for number of cities, and at graphs once we've spent enough EP. But that's a bit later, and is probably not important if it's that turn or the next turn, if you see what I mean.

I was almost hesitant to look at the (edited) spreadsheet because then I feel like I'm helping myself for PBEM37 It's certainly more extensive than the C&D stuff I came up with at least.

I'll be sure to help out as best I can.

Demos - Only TEAM has settled - Not on plains hill. Probably on same spot what we've planned.



Team Megnarie played, but didn't settle.

Couple of other screenshots with some minor value:

Does the game turn limit affect anything, e.g. the rate of inflation?

Gillette settled. Same stats as TEAM i.e. working 3 food tile and didn't settle on plains hill.
