[SPOILERS] TT tries yet again to not be terrible

[Twinkletoes89]

Well Stonehenge fell this turn, which seems like a considerable early investment but each to their own.

Looking at point increases on CivStats, it simply must be AT in my opinion. He went from 98 to 114 in score whereas the only other 2 increases were much smaller (Commodore 6pts & Azza 3pts).

It looks like he might have whipped it too as he had a 6pt decrease the turn before. He may well have a second city now but I'd be very surprised for it to be double-whippable already?

That sounds even more odd. Its a big investment already and surely losing by a turn or so and getting considerable failgold is better than sacrificing 2 pop for it too?

I guess we got hinduism? how long until stone is hooked up? will we complete the granary before then?

[Twinkletoes89]

Bigger, look up 3 posts...

We got Hinduism

We won't have stone until the next settler is out (after I finish third worker in a couple of turns)

We can't build a granary until we research Pottery. We are currently researching Masonry...

[Bigger]

haha. sorry, you told me the pottery thing already. I guess we'll have to wait until pyramids are finished for the granary, then. no biggie w/ the food and forests.

I probably should log in to look around more. I'll do so tonight after I play pb8.

We can whip the settler this turn for 2 pop. Do we want to do that?

Copper will be roaded by next turn and I should have 4 workers by the time the third city is settled so the stone should be hooked up quickly and then we should be able to put the chops in to the Pyramids pretty quickly. I will start building it in Success Kid as soon as the worker completes.

[Bigger]

sure, why not. success kid will need to steal hammer tiles from the capital until the pyramids are built anyway. probably the worker connecting stone should start improving more tiles around the capital after that is done - farms around the lakes, mines, maybe a cottage or 2. 3 workers chopping should be enough, I think??

after the whip success kid should probably work corn + pigs to grow really quickly. I guess copper + 2 mines +whatever when it reaches size 4 (size for is happy cap right?? phew rep will be nice ).

[Twinkletoes89]

If I whip it down to Size 3 and we want those unused tiles for SK, should I go straight on to another worker and make the most of expansive and then we don't have the problem of working undeveloped tiles?

Also, what do you think of going for Sailing after Pottery to get a lighthouse up in the capital for even more food.

If we did that, then it would prob be worth us going Priesthood->Monarchy and then we can grow our capital huge?

yeah I like the first two points.


What would be the purpose of monarchy though? we'll have HR with the pyramids, and we have no wine

[Twinkletoes89]

Ah of course, dunno what I was thinking on the last point!

[Bigger]

How quickly can we get maths? I'm wonder if we'll be better off beelining there before chopping out pyramids.

hmm I think I'll log into the game to look around tonight when I get home from work (5-6 hours from now, on lunchbreak now).
