[PB58 Spoilers] Sea Monsters and Other Lurking Types

[Mjmd]

1) These reports are amazing. I'll have to analyze a little bit more.

2) Jowy spending 2 turns this late for anarchy also hurts my soul. I spent 2 turns in PB52 switching to religion plus organized, but it was much earlier (plus it allowed some whip unhappy to wear off). Serdoa is confused because he thinks Jowy should have a GA incoming, but Jowy hasn't even started on a GP.

I think the 2-turn anarchy can be right if there's good reason for it. I've been very anti-anarchy of late but reread one of my better games and was surprised that I had done the same 2-turn anarchy move there.

I think Serdoa may have the answer for Tarkeel's low numbers. Prioritizing gold/silver mines too early can really stunt growth. Compound that with Tarkeel's distant cities and I can see that as a plausible reason for him lagging behind.

Looking at Tarkeel's empire, I think Serdoa may have done him a favour by razing Bespin.

Thanks to bad I am playing in PB59. That way you will get them only when the game is done or I'm eliminated.

I mean a descent chunk of people who would read are also playing so !

Tarkeel I think was trying to make sure that they got to requisite techs for the wonders they wanted. Mind that slower expansion and food is about to come back to bite them when they face praets. AT has had good food numbers for a lot of this time and has kept up in the important techs.

You do realize that you need to be eliminated too to read them early.

They planted their second city far away from their capital at a sheep/gold location with one forest. That is just a weak city. This land is not super rich (great map btw pindicator) but the pig/copper location would have been much stronger.

Well, my big goof so far was giving some people Pig/Copper/Gold locations and other people just Pig/Copper with the gold by the western river bend. Actually, looking back at the map Serdoa was the only person who got that! I wonder why I didn't space it out more, I thought I was going to. But I think I just didn't like any place I put the gold by his river and then put it by the pig. In hindsight definitely my biggest mistake. But I like this map a lot more than PBEM78, for sure.

Well thats a huge early advantage, getting cooper /gold in same city, but at least some people didnt get a second city with 5 resource and other with one like in a certain 56 pitboss.
