[PB78] Dreylin boldly goes

[coldrain]

So the only other player who has mysticism as their actual starting tech from civ choice is Gavagai. Looks good for us, we should be able to guarantee either meditation or polytheism first (heh, flip a coin as you said)? Others could take mysticism as third starting tech, but feels unlikely. I'm also wondering if every start had an equivalent tile of the forested lake that we have. That two immediate commerce can give an edge if competing to early religion founding.

[Dreylin]

I think Polytheism - we'll want to get OrgRel from Monotheism soon-ish.

I suspect everyone has a similar-ish bonus tile; I know the map as a whole has been billed as unbalanced, but I doubt the starts will be too divergent. Big question is whether we continue to work the lake once the border has popped and we could pick up the Ivory instead to accelerate the Worker?

BTW, do you want to test out the mod, etc. by helping me to die in PB75? I've asked for general lurker support there, but haven't heard anyone volunteer yet.

I downloaded CtH and tested it quickly in single player. I need to read a bit more about Pitboss game rules, as I've only played PBEM so far in this forum. I could jump in to PB75, but I have read other threads in that game, so I would need to have specific directions/orders to follow?

EDIT: I usually play around 17-21 GMT in my current EitB game. What time zone are you slotted into?

[Dreylin]

I’ll add a few basic instructions in my PB75 thread, but at this point it’s a controlled death, so holding out and doing as much damage as possible while being steamrollered!

My typical window is 2-4am GMT, but for that game it’s more about the turnsplit, where I play after Ginger & greenline. If you don’t feel like taking it on then I expect a lurker (scooter?) will help out.

I've never played Pitboss in civ 4 before. How do I actually connect to the game once it is launched?

Check here and then ask any further questions. It used to dead easy but it's a little more complicated now.

Starting Scout move, I think N-NE or S-SE onto one of the forested hills makes most sense. Probably North towards the food resources?

[Dreylin]

Polytheism, working the forest lake.

Build Worker

Scout move N-NE

Anything else needed?

You promised us a more detailed opponent analysis when you weren't drunk. I'm assuming this has been true at least a few times since then, so pony up.

Hmmm, we’ll that sounds like something I’d forget after I’d sobered up. But I’m going to plead not wanting to do it on an iPhone from a National Park, and delay it until I’m back at an actual keyboard. Remind me again in 2weeks’ time.
