[PB60] Amicalola and Vanrober: Gone' Fishing!
|
In German we call a school of fish:
Fischschwarm which in english would be A hive of fish Looking at the fish behaviour it is quiet fitting to call them a hive. EDIT: I know I made a mistake. Should have been swarm instead of hive. See below.

Ah stupid me. No it's not a
hive of fish the translation must be a swarm of fish. Don't know how I mixed those up.

In honour of the recent discussion, we founded Anchovy, sister city to Herring. Anchovy is a MUCH better city though, since it can work an actual seafood tile.  I love 'swarm of fish,' it's so much more menacing-sounding than 'school.'  Forges are starting in many cities, since they're valuable for both the happiness and the production. With OR, it's a lot less painful to whip forges; I'm really glad we had that conversion. We're researching Code of Laws next, so that we can overflow our forges into cheap Organised courthouses. After that, Calendar or Construction depending on how hostile things look. Interestingly, Mjmd settled 'Puddles' (Tuna) a long time after us. Settling order is going to be really fun to compare, after the game. Mjmd is actively spreading his shrine religion now. Between that and Colossus + Hanging Gardens, I'd expect his economy to improve dramatically soon; he's looking much better than he did 10 turns ago. After losing Stonehenge early, he's gotten nearly every wonder since!   Anchovies
I ve take a look to change some production and mess up a bit of Amica's micro hehehe.
And i got amazed of the strenght right now of the combo PRO TGLH + currency, right now we are making 9 coins in the farthest city just of passive comerce trade routes and the maintenace is much lower, which really means we are getting money in tons for every city we settle, while the rest of the players i believe are losing money and even on bankrupcy. Crazy! This turn we get to 18 cities on turn 110 as i advanced some turns ago, i didnt really look in the name of that city so i expect Amicalola to tell you its name with a picture as he usually does. We feel we are in a good possition for several reasons, firs one, we are ahead of Jowy on gold, he gets 80gpt (presuming 0% tech) and we get 100, we have more food than him (we can actually have more than this but we didnt want for some whiping unhappiness). So we belive we are 1 gnp and 1 food right now, without being IMP we have most cities on game with 18, several of them with Granaries, just 4 or 5 without, but in really little turns they will have (the islands are really slow but they are giving us so much money on trade routes). Amica is afraid of being arrogant saying he thinks we are one of the best possitions in game, and im afraid of being too bad at this game and become naive thinking that our possition is this good. But hey feel free to tell us or writte down in the lurkers thread if you agree or not, i would love to be teached by your thoughts after this game ends!
T109-110 Double Report!

Since Vanrober was kind enough to force remind me to report.  I agree about everything, basically. One thing I should touch on is that earlier I complained a lot about how Creative is the best trait on this map, alongside Charismatic (sorry Tarkeel  ). I still believe that, but I think the closest competitors are Organised and Protective, which we also couldn't know ahead of time. Organised is amazing for the lighthouses and Emperor difficulty, while Protective gets 3-4 islands to play with early on (and is also just generally stronger than I thought). So I actually think we lucked our way into the best pick of the game, and I should definitely acknowledge that, given my whining earlier. We founded two more filler cities: Barrramundi in the north, and Perch in the south. Our new cities are costing slightly more than they provide, but I think the earlier we can get them founded, the more quickly they'll become profitable. Our breakeven is about 35% right now, but these will probably be our last peaceful cities. There is room for one more by GKC in the north, but we really don't want to piss him off when he's already smashing into Jowy, so we'll leave that one for him. For now.  Perhaps the true benefit of Rome is the scare-factor.  Speaking of GKC, we're honestly running way too light up there, although we have a scout watching the praets. Last turn he razed Jowy's city by the gems. Go Rome Go! Just, uh, please don't turn around, yeah? Here's our demos following the cities. We're about to whip a lot, so they probably won't look this good again for a while. But still, we're feeling good about these.   Fish 
Lets make another report with some random thoughts.
Some turns ago Jowy took calendar, i guess he is trying to get MoM since he couldnt get TGLH nor Colossus. But he is with just 11 cities. Maybe he should try to keep expanding somehow, and then you might think that GKC took a couple of cities, and its true, but i guess you cannot be next to Agr Rome and being last in power ( well being second doesnt make any difference acording to PB56 hehehe). Some turns ago the GPT of Mjmd, and SD rised so we think they took currency, indeed this turn SD has 110 of GPT, which means that he is probably working wealth in several cities if not all xD. We keep making forges and courhouses. Right now the most developed city is Cod which is the brother city of ROCK (mjmd) the city with colossus, oracle and artemise. Its a nice city that one. Cod is finishing our first courthouse after finishing our first forge. Next turn Tuna is getting another forge down and will finish a late Moai, late if we see that Lazteuq island has moai since 20sh turns. But that city has not TGLH hehehehe.This facts i guess were all known for you, but here they are. The thoughts i wanted to throw were the borders we have with neighbours. Specially with Lazteuq. His gems city is really annoying for us, and i still cant understand why he settled there. On our north coast we settled this nice city refusing to get the gold to get a nice and peacefull border with him. For several reasons, but that city of us is the farthest of our capitol, and its almost as close to his capitol than to our. Which is already riscky i would say. But his city is even indeed closer to our capitol than to his, and is trying to get the rice that is clearly closer to us than to him. That is such a way to make a really not nice border city and annoy a neighbour. And i would say with not really any purpose, since he didnt get the rice and wont get the rice unless he spends tons of GArtist in that city with caste. We wanted a city 1 right to our city to stay in a nice hill making the rice 100% our. Right now looking at borders with lazteuq if any war appear we will know is from that front. I guess he knows that too. I guess you can argue that we kind of did the same with SD and mjmd with Octopus, and you might be right. XD To finish this post, i wanted to say a bit of the plans for next turns, right now we thought to get xbows and pinkdot GKC defending with xbows so he see hard to atack us. Then getting cats to defend even better any other agresion anyone does to us. And then claim the seas with optics. Getting compass would allow us to get some cothons which will be awesome too.
I accidentally put a chop into Cod, instead of the walls at my new city.
 This is somewhere between an inconvenience and a huge deal, depending on if SD/Laz/Mjmd are planning to attack our (obnoxious) plant. If they are not, it ruins my micro but not in a crippling way. If they are, it may be the difference between holding and not holding. I would really like to reload, since nobody is negatively affected by this. If that's ok? I forgot to take a picture as I logged out in panic, but I can go back in and take one if lurkers would like. |
