[SPOILER] Waterbat spends '104 Days of Summer Vacation'

[Sian]

easiest way i can get to 14cpt would be something in the line of Palace+creative+holycity+holycity

hardly optimal through so meh ... no clue if its correct

[waterbat]

a note on the land:

because max land is now 54 - that means tad was at 40 before that - meaning that his second city netted 8 tiles of land that don't overlap with the 4th ring!




Here's some possible sites. given that it looks like he explored towards the beaver to meet superjm fairly early on, i am guessing that he might just have settled that green site (of course his land is inverted - so it would be his west).

Either that or he found the gold up north and settled on it (unlikely red) or right next to it (green) - there is one spot on the tundra that might also be the site of Tad's #2 city. I have a warrior heading in his presumed direction now. (Superjm and I declared peace after he "let" it through)

Thanks Sian - knowing that TAD researched Polytheism first (t7 discovery) and we confirmed that he has to have Mediation (was probably first to it as well) i think this makes sense. I didnt know how much each holy city gave.

To confirm, its +5 per religion founded then?


Oh - how do people tell how many hammers a city has in? is that some spy mission thing - the cost of destroying current production or something?

i saw Nicolae using this a lot in PBEM35, but i didnt want to ask there - everytime i do something out of thread like that - catwalk is looming.

[Sian]

+5 culture for a holy city if its your state religion (or you don't have any state religion)

guys - about the granary before whipping.... what if i have an opportunity to line up a fast worker at 19/40 the turn before pottery comes in? Should i whip out a granary?

pop: 4
happy cap: 5
im either making 8 + 8 f + h or 11+5 depending on tile arrangement - so without whipping , i could save up the 19/40 worker and finish the granary in 5 turns - or should i whip now finish the granary in 3 turns? i tried a couple sims and not whipping seemed slower in the long run - although that doesnt seem right.

t31:

Based on Azza's land - we have another cow availabe in the south:



I'll piece together a map of our own land soon.

Demos:

Our demos look pretty bad (rank 4-6-5 in gold prod food), but improve at the end of this turn due to growth in Ferb and new city, Perry (2,3,2).




Analysis later - i founded at EoT so i thought i would be the first to 3 cities, but rival worst pop went up 1000 - so I'm not sure.

[waterbat]

lost a massive post.

short story:

superjm teched a big one - im guessing writing
xenon teched something in he 76-95 cost range - we gave him sailing
catwalk did indeed beat us to 3 cities (although its a tie since we will found same turn)
azza grew his cap to a huge size 6
tad gre his cap to size 5

Catwalk gained only 3 tiles with his plant - cant figure it out on the map.
thearchduke gained 5 tiles with his border pop - also can't figure it out on the map given that he gained 8 in planting it.

on the map you have i can spot at least 2 spots that might work

[waterbat]

couldnt find it sian.

here's the map - the inner 3x3 grid can't over lap with the black capitol culture and has 8 land tiles. the BFC would have 13.(+5)

closest i could get were the 2 sites in the northwest (+7 or +6) land tiles in the BFC.



ill piece together a new map.

[Sian]

given your numbers it'll either have 1 water tile OR one tile overlap in the first ring ... and then afterwards at borderpop 5 new land tiles not previously covered
