Gaspar and NobleHelium - More Arguments About Buildings & Food.

Thar be PB7 spoilers in that chat, cap'n! :aar:

Sorry about that, though I'm not entirely sure what in there isn't already public knowledge - NH is a dedlurker himself so sorry if I crossed a line somewhere and let me know and I'll edit it out. Mea maximum culpa.

And if you want ideas on what to do, I've been tossing around the idea of a SPI strat that goes:

• Code of Laws via Priesthood
  
• Swap to Caste and run merchants while teching Math
  
• Bulb Currency with a GM

Is it feasible? No guarantees; it may only be worthwhile to do if you grab CoL with the Oracle. But it's different and I'd like to see someone road test it for me.

I like the idea, actually. The only question is can we get Oracle in a game where Dave has a strong reason to want it for a mids run and Yuri has not only built it several times before, but with this specific leader. I think there's a lot of potential fun that can be had with an early CoL. Though I don't know how much Caste you want to run before say, T50, when you're likely whipping lots of foodhammer units and such. Something certainly to keep in mind.

A lot will depend on the map. If the map dictates a hard rex then we'll obviously want to beeline Currency after worker techs. If the map has a good chunk of coast, we might be the best team to go for GLH to ensure the econ wonders get split properly. That's really my itch right now: to get a look at the map so we can start planning the first 30 turns or so - always the most fun part of any PBEM, in my mind.

The spoilers were stuff about the land shape. I mean, I have suspicions based on what other people have said, but I can't really tell who's being honest and who's just posting to mess with people in that thread

If I send it now, will you promise not to whine about the map?

Bah, never mind what he says, take your time.

[Gaspar]

There's pretty much no chance that I won't whine about the map at some point whether you send it immediately or you spend the next three years of your life on it. Have you met me?

[plako]

Your starting position.



Good luck!

[NobleHelium]

Hmmmm. Well obviously we lose the wet corn if we settle on the plains hill. SIP still lets us get the EXP bonus due to the 3h PHF.

Can I ask you whether the warrior's location was from the map generator, or manually placed?

Manually placed.
