How to Not Tech, a Lurkers Guide to Losing Liberalism and Winning. [Lurker Thread]]

Team is stretching it a bit, pretty much all I did for Kylearan was suggest things he already knew, and fill in playing a few turns doing exactly what he would have done himself.

Really? News to me...I just knew you only posted in that thread and none of the others...

Now I was thinking to myself which city is better for the second city, green or red?



I was leaning towards Green but now I'm leaning towards Red. See the thing is that the faster I get that gold mine up the faster I can get more commerce to support these new cities and tech pottery.

Anyway Green with the forests is all about expanding, chopping out workers and settlers. Red is all about supporting that expansion. So which comes first?

Surely Green is better, it's not like Red will make any difference on the Pottery ETA.

I don't know about city placements, but it looks like Cyneheard has played the opening pretty optimally so far (unsurprisingly). Worker->Quecha->two settlers at size 2, Quecha->Granary in city 2. With little for the worker to do, getting two settlers out ASAP seems smart.

Lewwyn's wasted time growing to size 3, scooter followed Cyneheard's example but wasted time farming a flood plains, and Nakor's done things differently from T0.

I guess by the time players have reached 5 cities we can pretty much crown the winner.

Eh, I hope not. The other players could like surround him and cut off the amount of land he can get.

Its a long game and i think there are more then one openening good.

Wow, Lewwyn beat Cyneheard to Hinduism. That was surprising. Cyneheard started it earlier didn't he? Lewwyn wasn't working the gold for every turn and started later, I'm surprised he got it. Plus Cyneheard is first in turn order.

[mackoti]

I think second city was plced by lewyn near gold and he worked until size 2 the oazis and after the gold so more comerce than Cyneheard.

Both Lewwyn's lines are currently under scooter's city line, that's why you can't see them. Didn't put Settlers on the graph, it didn't seem to show anything useful - any thoughts on how to show that usefully are welcome tho

Looks like Nakor is maybe behind the curve, not sure anything else shows up yet.

[NobleHelium]

Pretty sure Nakor's already lost the game to be honest. The rest are definitely competitive still. Let's see if Lewwyn steals Judaism from Cyneheard too...

You could potentially count settlers as half a city on that graph or something.
