[SPOILERS] Serdoas and Nobles Thread with a little bit of Gaspar sprinkled in

[NobleHelium]

I spoke to Serdoa this morning. I overreacted last night especially given that the 4 turn ETA did not show up until I had swapped the Pagle/Blingtron/Overspark tiles around. So I certainly apologize for that. And certainly we should have straight chopped the forest SE of Murk-Eye last turn as we were never going to get enough cottage turns in anyway.

But in any case, I stand by my statement that we should have moved some units out of Mogor last turn to try to scare his workers. It wouldn't necessarily work but it also didn't necessarily mean that we would get into a war (and I still don't think we'll get into a war), but we had a chance to scare one of his workers away and it looked like a relatively low risk opportunity to see if we could make that happen. I do maintain that chopping neutral forests on the border is highly offensive especially if you're not even going to cover your workers. But since you didn't move out last turn so it doesn't look like there's any chance we can affect the outcome, so it'll be whatever it'll be. I'm not saying we would have succeeded even if we had moved out last turn - given his movements this turn it looks like we wouldn't have - but I still think it was something worth trying.

Anyway, this tends to happen with me where I say things in my typical strong language style (as I have strong opinions about most everything) and people tend to stop thinking in response which is never my intention. In general, I never want anyone I care about to blindly follow my instructions. So I get annoyed if it looks like that's happening.

I changed a couple tiles around, moved the capital back to the mine and moved Pagle to a lake.

Thanks Noble. You did a tremendous job so far and that our civ is in the state it is, is mostly your doing. So I understand being annoyed if stuff doesn't work out as it should and it seems that's only because someone isn't paying attention. And I'd rather take you and your sometimes strong language then mostly anyone else on this site

Also: I didn't go full Gaspar! That's important

I'm on chat for a while.

Haven't moved the units at the border with taotao. Also another barb at Paletress. Not sure what to do their either. Made signs for both, maybe you can take a look.

Also OME tiles are critical the next 3 turns. We need to get 60 hammers in total as overflow from the worker + normal production on T90. As we get 5 hammers T90 (copper + city center) we need 55 overflow. Currently:

worker 56/60
chariot 6/30

EOT88: chariot 42/30 (whipped)
EOT89: worker 56 + 17 worked tiles + 12 overflow + 30 whip = 115/60 = 55 overflow
(worked tiles: copper (4), fish (3), sheep (3), deer (4), center (3) = 17)

Only works because we get a pop back this turn. Noble, please check ingame that I'm correct and didn't fuck up somewhere.

Gaspar, friendly warning. Someone else is posting a lurker "tear" list and is encroaching on your turf. Defend yourself or be forever shamed. Need list or equivalent lurker agitating agent as soon as reasonably possible. Kthx.

How is that possible? There are only two threads on this site, this one and the Fantasy Football thread and as best I can tell, nobody has encroached on my territory in either of those.

Well, unless you count Serdoa's half-Gaspar. Kappa

Also, I probably should change my signature (and tagline for that matter) but that seems like way too much work.

I might have some insights on ForestGate if the last picture wasn't like 3 weeks old. DansGame

That's fine, although we actually only need 54h overflow because we get a hammer from the gold. But we still need to work the tiles as you say.

I ended turn, left the chariot in place and moved the Mogor units into the jungle. I gave the pig to Nefarian, even though we did not chop the granary like I had said I still think that's better than working it at Ragnaros. We can still pasture the horse next turn if you want but I don't think that's better than chopping the monument sooner.

We also met REM in addition to Elkad.

I'd rather work fish, sheep, deer in OME I think to grow back faster and give the gold to Paletress if that's doable. Haven't checked tbh.

I liked pasturing the horse, because it is a good tile. I agree getting the monument for the pig sooner is important as well though. I'll think about it.

[Serdoa]

Lost MoM. So we were a turn (or two) too slow after all. Would have had to forego Currency - or somehow tech Currency faster - in order to get it.

I'm not sure on all the workers now. I don't think there is any wonder we would want to get. But I'd like to hear your opinion before playing. I'll be around to talk in around 5 hours from now (I think that's when you earliest could be awake).

edit: Grimace was eliminated last turn. I guess by Barteq as he was the only one online if I see it correctly on Civstats. Also taotao gained 25 points so I'd say it was him who got MoM, as expected. That is doubly bad, as he will also pressure our city culturally down the line. Good thing is that we can maybe take it from him, if there is ever an opening. Though I doubt it, mackoti always seem to know what you are up too anyway.

Gaspar if you give me a short list of actual twitch emotes you want I can add them so I don't have to keep reading Kappa every time you post.
