[no players] 47, betting on 7; the lurker thread.

Heh, and Imp India on a low difficulty is downright demoralizing.

I think you just have a bunch of players that are used to winning in the first 50T. Well, and you have Gaspar who is used to convincing himself he's already lost in the first 50T. I really don't think anyone's out of it or has it sewn up by any stretch. We may very well get to the mid-game with all or nearly all players still in contention, and all of them will be convinced they are in fact out of contention.

Also, as Novice would say, I need to work on my pattern recognition skills.

The map is mirrored. There be monsters in that lake to the west as well.

Is it?


+1 for QotM!
Is it too spoilerish to propose there?

I'm pretty sure that upgrading in general always wipes out fortification bonuses.

Why are all of your cities named after archers yet you have no archery units?

Aw, i wanted to ask that question but with 100% more snark.

Serdoa's demos are impressive. Can he utilize his superior production, grab the most land and win the game or are the others snowballing later ahead with stronger economies?

Next plans: Get Currency and Courthouses, grow all cities to size 10+ and expand to around 25 cities in the next 25 turns. Don't crush the economy in the process. THAT one could get tricky

Well, if he can do that then I think he should be able to close it out. All he would have to do afterwards is to ensure he held those borders and and build an army to take out one of his two neighbours to force a concession IMO. That GNP without Currency is...intimidating.
