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

BTW we have 30 posts today alone, and now have a very comfortable 70 some post lead in the "real" lead. Oh BTW we're also first in those stupid numbers that show up in-game, though that's mostly due to Henge

For reference, here is where we stand as of T55: Pics in post 569

LN:
T55: 12?/26, 0/X

HH
T52: 0/22, 0/15
53: 5/22, 2/15
54: 10/22, 4/15
55: 15/22, 6/15

KT:
T53: 0/22, 0/15
T54: 3/22, 1/15
T55: 6/22, 2/15


workers:
pasture horses: t54-57
farm FP: t54-60

Now we need to get 2 more workers and 4-8 chariots by T65.

Okay continuing on from my last point, here's a few early thoughts on MM - darrell said he is going to look at this a bit more later on today


TC:
58: 5/22, 1/X
59: 10/22, 2/X
60: 15/22, 3/X
61: 18/22, 4/X
62: 20/22, 6/X
63: 0/24, 8/X, swap to chariot, 0/25

LN:
T55: 12?/26, 0/X
T56: 20/26, 2/50
T57: 2/28, 4/50, swap to worker at 0/60
T58: 2/28, 13/60, double whip to 2/24, 88/60, 9hpt
T59: 2/24, 37/60 - worker #3 available
T60: 2/24, 46/60
T61: 2/24, 55/60
T62: 2/24, 4/X - worker #4 available

HH:
T56: 20/22, 8/15
T57: 3/24, 10/15, swap to worker 0/60, 11hpt, work sheep / horse
T58: 3/24, 11/60
T59: 3/24, 22/60
T60: 3/24, 33/60
T61: 3/24, 44/60
T62: 3/24, 55/60

The barracks for 2t, whip worker into worker at Ladies Night produces worker #3 on T59, and worker #4 on T62.

Above is also a plan to get a 5th worker out of Happy Hour. We can whip that on T62, and as long as we can use 4 of our 5 workers (including that one) to connect the horse on T63, we can max overflow into a chariot, completing it eot63.

My thoguhts for the other workers

The one farming the FP at KT: KT was settled T53, so it will expand borders on T63. The farm finishes T60, so move 1W and chop 61-62-63, so we should be able to complete 1 chariot there.

Err...make that tomorrow smile. I do want to make a pitch for building The Pyramids. First off Darrell T-Shirt contest will have 6 forests and Karaoke has 9 forests. That is 15*20 = 300H. Now, surely those cities will want two Granaries at 40H each, and we need 4 Chariots for another 120H. That's 200H right there. While the Pyramids are 500H, down to 200H with IND + Stone. That is an incredible discount for a very powerful wonder.

I'm not sure we should go for it, but I would observe we could have 8 scientists up in running in 30-40 turns, generating massive GPPs and 32 beakers. It is something to think about.

Also exploit logged in this evening and I checked and we do not have OBs with him so I am assuming he rejected that.

I was thinking with Exploit we offer to trade him Mysticism/Masonry for Writing and see what he says.

From HRE:

Quote:I am thinking that Rome is colluding with Exploit, and feeding them information on the Cartel's intentions, both tech wise and military.

It seems unlikely that Portugal, with 4 cities out already, and creative to boot, still doesn't have access to Horse. Do you know if they have a unit coming our way so we can lean on them as well?

Anyway, with both Portugal and Rome leaving you to take on Exploit, I was wondering if it wouldn't be a better idea to wait until horse archers come online and the dust has settled around the Inca question.

Frankly, I'm not sure why Exploit is such a priority for India, and from our point of view, it would make more sense to acquire a technological advantage and then taking him out.

Could you maybe give us your reasoning, so we could fill in the newer Cartel member why you will not be able to contribute an expensive tech next round?


Highest regards,

From Rome:

Quote:We have received a message from Tech indicating that you have broken the sanctity of settlement negotiations with your founding of Karaoke Tuesday. Is this correct? We are eager to hear your version of what has stranspired in your dealings with Tech, so that we may judge for ourselves who is at fault here. While we hold no grudge against you for looking into the possibilities of expansive warfarare, we still believe that a certain amount of decency is required in one's foreign diplomacy in order to achieve an appropriate amount of trust among one's peers.

Draft reply to Rome:

Quote:Thanks for your message...it is always best to hear both sidese of the story so we are glad you sought us out. Originally we planned on settling 1W of the Stone. Then we agreed to settle on the Stone itself. That still wasn't enough for Exploit, he now wanted us to move south onto one of the Floodplains. The city lacks a food resource, and we felt we needed the Floodplains badly, so we asked why. Apparently, he plans on founding a city that would overlap with two tiles with our Stone site. So, we said we didn't care about those tiles and would not culturally contest them (i.e. we would let him get his Library up and steal those tiles before we would build our own Library, and we would never build Theaters, etc.). That still wasn't enough, so we offered to time share the wine. That still wasn't enough so we offered to loan him the Stone from time to time. By this point we needed to Settle. He came back with an e-mail talking about a 200 turn NAP and other things unrelated to the city site that would take days (weeks?) to work out. We felt we had been more than generous so we just decided to settle and deal with the fallout.

If and when we do declare on him it will be in no small part to this entire ordeal. We want neighbors we can work with, and its not clear if this has soured him on us for the remainder of the game. He certainly gave us that vibe.

Anyway, thanks again for checking with us, and if you have any other questions or comments we'd love to hear them.
