Is that character a variant? (I just love getting asked that in channel.) - Charis |

Team Gaspar - how PBEM47 was lost and where it got us.

Also just FYI I used the same tech path in the second sim as the first. I'm going to look at trying it with a different path next time, but I think it would delay the oracle.

Interesting stuff guys. I won't have time to really look at this until Thursday evening, but I wonder how many beakers we lose by delaying Pottery. I guess I've learned my lesson and its better to sell out for the wonder, but if there's anyway we can squeeze it in before the religious stuff, it would be worth it, IMO.
Still, T31 is much better than my first instinct would have guessed we could have got all the tech in and get the wonder chopped, so this is good news.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?
You can road to the second city instead of moving workers into forests right?

Yup I just simmed this and we end up doing exactly as well as the last sim. Pottery doesn't speed up enough, though we do end up with a surplus of 6 gold and the second city is size 3 by T31 since I settled it with overlap with the rice. (cap is still size 4). I'm going to try simming pottery before Myst now.

If you go Pottery first you'll probably need a more chop-heavy strategy.

Here's what I got:

I put 3 chops into the Oracle here. It will finish EOT32. I couldn't quite match it to EOT31. Suffice to say I like this better for our overall civ, but if we lose the Oracle by 1T then I will feel pretty shitty. Maybe I can get another chop in to finish the Oracle EOT 31 or something, but it doesn't look like it. To get to this point I needed to build a Worker after the settler instead of another warrior so we get one less warrior in this sim as well (though warrior is a 1T build). Also hidden benefit! We have a settler in queue at 46/65 hammers. So we will build our 2nd settler EOT34.

Did you try whipping into the Oracle or something? It sure looks like t31 is possible.

The game immediately reminded me of PBEM14, where I was Bismarck of Mali, played awful but got all the wonders and nearly won. Let's reprise a few of those roles, but not all of them, k? Just noticed this.
