[LURKERS] Mr. Gradgrind's Review

[picklepikkl]

It's really interesting seeing how most of these players seem to have logical, well-reasoned, internally consistent arguments for completely different civ/leader rankings! I wonder what the over/under for "how many teams get their first choice" ought to be?

[BRickAstley]

I'm hoping that everyone gets one of their top 3 choices, and seeing how many differing views everyone has, I'm thinking that will actually happen.

With the Industrial Start are there any other changes to tech/build cost like with Settlers?

Hey pindicator, would you like having me like a teamate/dedlurker?

I knew it!

More people are putting Gandhi towards the top than I was expecting based on pre-game feedback, but oh well. Probably just means more people will end up falling farther in their picklists than I expected. But due to the way the pick system is structured, at worst everyone still gets a choice they rated in the top half of the available picks, so it isn't all bad.

[The Black Sword]

I think at least Gandhi shouldn't have had the Khmer, they're actually a really good civ here, on top of probably the best trait combo.

Hmm, nobody seems to be talking about CHA unlocking Nav 2 on boats.

You need 8 XP for that, right (Flanking, Nav, Nav 2)? There's a naval barracks equivalent whose name I forget; where do the other 4 come from?

[Bobchillingworth]

4 from Drydocks, 2 from theo, 2 from vassalage.
