[SPOILERS - PBEM17] regoarrarr - Bismarck of Inca

[regoarrarr]

I'm a bit worried about our dropping tech rate (3g expenses!) - we may need to work the gold first rather than the wheat. My plan was to tech Wheel then Fishing then Pottery

I believe we were 2nd to found a new city but I haven't really been doing C&D work to find out.

Avg pop was 34750 which is 139K. Best and worst were 48 and 21, which leaves 70K, so 48 and 22.

22k: 3 pop + 1 pop = 2 cities. So, yes, we're second.

Food first. Get the wheat up, and then the gold. We'll be size 2 in no time.

Not a lot going on but here's a pic from T26.



Plan is to get Fishing and Pottery and then go Med->Phood and Oracle MC.

It looks like our continent is pretty small which isn't a great surprise of course. No religions have fallen yet

2.2 distance maintenance

Formula is

[ ([25*Distance*(Pop+7)/10] * Building_m * WorldSize_m * Handicap_m) / DistanceScale ]

25 * 6 * 8 / 10 = 120

We're on standard and prince, so that makes .8 and .85

120 * .8 = 96

96 * .85 = 81

81/2.2 makes distance scale 36.

What's the world wrap?

What's the world wrap?

Unknown - I'm not aware of a way you can tell?

[Cyneheard]

Distance_Scale=36 is suggestive of Toroidal, especially for a Standard map.

Turn 28 played



Wheel in - then on to Fishing and Pottery

We need to figure out where the next city goes. 1S of gems? 1NW of gems? Those seem to be the best options. I think that the worker currently under production can start roading that way.

[Cyneheard]

1S of the gems is probably best; we'll get a cows/incense 2S of the cows eventually, and 1S of the gems uses the good land tiles. We don't need junk 2/0/1 ocean, which is a lot of what 1NW gives us.
