[Spoilers] Alhazard ruins a Renaissance fair

[Alhazard]

T206 boring turn

[Alhazard]

T207 A very interesting turn


Yes going with the port city 1st just because I can't spare the worker turns clearing the jungle now







I really wonder why they improved the jungled deer 1st and not the riverside one. I am sure they popped the borders.







I am really not going to question that road since mack's micro is god tier and he is already crushing everyone in growth.





I think scoollla declared since mack is playing first.



Demos look awful after whipping away 6 pop. I believe plako built a longbow.

ipecac and I are discussing the game mainly in Gmail chat so I should start C&Ping interesting conversations to give an idea on what we are thinking.

Just this morning.

ipecac rb: huh. plako and mack are..backfilling?
Alfred Hazard: well plako has the worker on hill tile that the scout saw so his next city is to the jungled deer. but mack is definitely backfilling 1st which kind of make sense because he probably wants more workers before clearing the jungle
ipecac rb: and yeah, makes sense. we don't have enough workers ourself for a serious jungle push
Alfred Hazard: yes thats why I want to settle that port city 1st
ipecac rb: okay. hmmi suppose mack needs whale happy too his ivory and whale are out of reach of first two cities

Maybe I should follow mack's lead and settle 6th city not to get the double rice but the whales. I been having a massive headache how to settle the East without over extending.

Full report later the dotmap for the future are really pressing


If we backfill the whale+corn city 1st. Settlers for the 7th and 8th are coming from Ankara and Bursa, both whipped on T227. Settlers from capital and 2nd city whipped on T232 can claim 2 cities to the East.



If we go for the 2nd jungle city 1st. Settlers for the 7th and 8th are coming from Ankara and Bursa, both whipped on T227. Settlers from capital and 2nd city whipped on T232 can claim 2 cities to the East.



Alternate option is to whip a galleon+LB pair from Ankara and Bursa on T227 and use settlers from capital and 2nd city whipped on T232 to settler islands and 7th and 8th. Settlers whopped from Ankara and Bursa on T237 and settle to get jungled fish and whale+corn. Settlers from capital and 2nd city whipped on T242 and claim 2 cities to the East. Definitely slows the growth but the ICTR could salvage our economy.

ARGH I forgot to whip a WB out of ankara!!!

[lossofmercy]

Well, I am dedlurkering this as promised. I did read through the thread, won't be much help considering how out of the norm the game is.

So the strat seems to be fast city expansion to state property with Jans to protect your spread out empire?

[Alhazard]

hi infernovia. We are, as you can see, putting the expansion part in the backburner while claiming liberalism first. But State property will be immense I believe. We are going to serious endanger our economy with just the 7th city. I think I will have to make a galleon+LB pair in Ankara first for the inter-continental trade routes for +2 commerce trade routes.

Updated plan

Plan K

[Alhazard]

Haven't been updating since I was preparing for a trip and not going to post pics of rival empires which I am taking only because of pop counting for C&D unless I notice something important.
T208




NC+REM improved their non-jungled deer.

T209





T210
See settling pattern pictures



T211
The mayhem begins with mass scientists making our demos awful. I am sure every other team is confused by prophet 1st.





T212




Bigger question is where do we go from there. NC+REM, and scoollla already have 5 cities and I will plant both 5th and 6th cities on T223, which is in 11 turns and I can imagine them already settling their 6th city and possibly 7th city by then... So far the plan is to rush State Property to jump start our economy by the maintenance savings and rush RMOG likely but will this work?
