Micro Thread

[plako]

Looking good. I've been testing similar, but less optimized approach.

[novice]

A small adjustment: Maybe get the extra commerce on T61 from BM after all, Losing could possibly use the extra food to reach size 4 one turn sooner. This changes the micro for BM's granary, but that's manageable.

Also, if the spices really are a 1-turn chop, maybe we should let one worker chop the spices and let the other worker move directly from deer to the forested hill. Then we chop the forests before farming the wheat, and we'll get the library sooner and can work scientists when/if we run out of good tiles.

Forested hill probably ends up in the wrong side of the border after border pop from TEAM's city. They got few turns of culture there.

[zakalwe]

In that case they wil get the spices too.

[plako]

No only 1 tile that will in their BFC is lost initially. If we're faster with library and they don't get any further resources of culture fast enough, we can reclaim it. In fierce culture war even building monument could be worth considering.

Updated sandbox. Situation in the beginning of our next turn:

[plako]

Run couple of rough test games. Maths comes ~T80 and masonry couple of turns later so realistically it would be ~T83-85 Pyramids, maybe 2-3 turns sooner with a very good micro plan or if we take masonry before Maths. Our economy is in pretty bad shape after planting the gold city.

Great report again Pling!

Concerning the Pyramids build I've made couple of additional tests and Commerce is more important than expansion during the next 20T. I'll try to get more concrete plan up a bit later, but building and working few riverside cottages and running Scientist and whipping less seems to give us Masonry and Maths on timely fashion and enable Pyramids ~T80.

+2. I really like the grid overlay on the graphs.
