[SPOILERS] Sandover(cre/spi) of Egypt

[Ilios]

Maybe even build Phartenon (I probably didn't spell that right)

You could spell it "Fartenon" if you'd like? Would go well together with the "Great Outhouse"...

[Sandover]

What about "Parthenon"? Am I getting close?

[Dreylin]

Woohoo, name-checked in post #1!

PBEM Mechanics

So I noted on turn 6 that Moogle got his first tech, by looking at the score. The log, however, claims that Buddhism was founded last turn. No one but him can have gotten it, so I am going to assume that score increases from techs aren't added until the player who got the tech actually plays the turn on which he got it, while population increases are added as soon as the turn roll.

That said, I need to do some more C&D. But that will be after I catch up with the normal updates, which is due for tomorrow.

Note to Self:

Bob, Timmy and Moogle (Meditation) discovered a new tech on turn 5.

Ahaha. Let's not forget the Statue of Sewers, the Colostomic Palace, the Hanging Marbles, the Temple of Fartemis, the Lace Elevator, and the Orifice.

Sorry. I'll stop now and start acting like an adult again.

[Sandover]

Geesh, it's like a kindergarden in here!

[Sandover]

Got the save late today and I'm short on time, so the update I was talking about is postponed for tomorrow.

World's End



I told you they wouldn't mess with the world wrap! Love it when I'm right.

Since I now know that my western border is clear I can focus expansion south, southeast and east (obviously not north since that's pretty much just tundra and snow). That's good to know.

The bad news, however, is that my Sand Zergling (yet to be renamed in the screen shot above) got himself stuck on the wrong side of World's End Lake. I can either hug the western part of the map, turn east to explore the southern rim of the tundra, or walk all the way around the lake to head south. I decided to go for the second alternative. I won't have to explore the tundra for quite some time still (will use War Chariots for it later on) and I waste too many turns walking around south.

I've finished Hunting and put reasearch to Mining. I started with Agriculture and The Wheel. Next I will get Bronze Working and Animal Husbandry, though not necessarily in that order. I'm thinking about doing a dual Worker start, but that would gimp my scouting quite hard so I haven't decided yet. I'm not worried about being killed early, but falling behind on making contacts might hurt badly if I'm out of luck. My initial thinking of finding two civs fairly early using my starting unit surely didn't work out as I'd hoped.

I will probably do two Workers straight and then spam Warriors for a while, but don't take my word for it just yet. I've decided to call Warriors "Sand Zerglings", but need to figure out what to call my Workers soon. Hm...

The game is currently on turn 7. There's been some score increases since the screen shot but I will deal with that in a new C&D post I intend to make soonish. The most interesting event so far tech-wise is Moogle's discovering Buddhism (as expected).

Oh, just noticed I've taken over both the number of posts and number of views lead for this game. Sweet! And that's despite being the last to start my thread, so here's something I might actually win.

This is an excellent opportunity to make some joke about darrelljs' and regoarrarr's style of posting, but there's been some of those floating around recently, so I won't.

Or maybe I just did?
