RPB3 SPOILERS Bismarck of India (regoarrarr, darrelljs, sooooo, sunrise089)

Oracle comes in on EOT62, so we'll have Alpha and whatever techs we can get in the agreement on T63.

Given your spreadsheet Egypt made 18 bpt (5 turns from poly to mining) so it is possible but impressive eco he has there.

rego...can you edit your first post (or one of the first 3-4) to add links to your spreadsheet and to https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AXll0...meA&hl=en? I am always searching for them .

Thanks,

You should be able to edit it once you are logged in with your Google account.

I have made the updates for Inca

Quick email to HRE

Hi HRE folks!

We are trying to find the Ottomans. It's our understanding that they are west of you, and east of where Korea used to be.

We have a warrior near the ex-Korean capital site, that can start heading east.

Can you pass this on to the Ottomans and arrange for the two of us to meet?

We can provide an exact location of our warrior if/when necessary

Thanks,
DJ Civ

Okay well darrell and I chatted at lunch here. Basically we decided to stick with Archery and then head for Mathematics, provided we could get Pottery ON T63, and IW as soon as it was researched.

We realized that the Ottomans are researching Pottery, so we need to meet them (see email above)

We're currently at 14 commerce, and -4 costs. When we found our next city, that will be 16 commerce, and -7 costs, as far as we can tell.

Darrell: 7 gold in the bank and +10 gold/turn
Archery due in 6 with - 4 gold/turn, so we need 24 gold. So Archery can be had in 8 turns.
me: so t57
Darrell: The Wheel due in 8 turns, so we need 11 turns, so t60
IW due in 20 turns, so let's see...80 gold is 8 turns so 28 turns from now...that's turn 77

So plan is gold for 2 more turns, then turn it on for Archery

And here is a list of civs and techs they are contributing:

Porugal: Sailing
India: Archery
Ottomans: Pottery
Rome: IW
HRE: HBR
Eygpt: Alphabet

I got the sense that Krill and his plains Gold was thinking Mathematics next. He asked me if we could get it in 15 turns (Mathematics is 450 beakers to 360 for IW).

Also, it turns out Ruff is about 40% into Archery. He's suggested we go for Masonry and he fronts Archery. That also pulls him into the alliance. Chatted with Krill and he is okay with that. Updated list

Porugal: Sailing
India: Masonry (Math next?)
Ottomans: Pottery
Rome: IW
HRE: HBR
Eygpt: Alphabet
Aztecs: Archery

sooooo, once your kids are in bed can you log in and swap us to Masonry (but keep us at 100% cash)? Or anyone else if they read this.
