Team Discussion Thread
 

I thought we could start a team discussion page for anything critical that we see popping up.

I am popping settlers now big time. I will need to know "the wheel" soon to see if there are any horses. I think we've milked those guys on the research of the wheel.

Haruka nice start BTW. Why is your score so much higher do you think?

I went for a really early settler. (With AP, my culture effectively expands twice as slowly, so I only had two 2-food tiles in my city radius before the expansion) My rate is slowing down.

I'll give you the Wheel.

I'm getting iron working at minimum science. Other than that, I'm finally getting a second city next turn.

I sent writing to both of you and HBR to Regentman. Right now I'm making a run at philo due in 10. Cash is running thin at 6g. I have no horses in sight.

Would you like a gift of gold or gold per turn?

IIRC there are horses SE of Whomp. If he can't get them, I guess I'll have to establish a trade route.

I'm researching Mathematics right now, max.

So boys. Gonna show pictures of your empires soon?

How far are you in the game now anyway?

We've just finished turn 21.

Not much has changed for me, except that I got another settler and will get a city in three turns or so.

I found it very interesting seeing our world by playing regentman's turns. I think we should switch off that way every so often.

I could use about 10g as I am running hard at philo. I think we have a good chance at philo because I am the biggest in pop/gdp right now. If I get it should we get map making?

My settler is headed to the horses right now so MW's coming right up!
I really like the 2 turn settler factory.

Oh and btw Tomo'uka your warrior stepped on my wheat.[lol] It's ok because I decided to chop the game for a gran instead.

Paal--Congrats on finishing exams. It's always a relief.
I will post two pics for you tonight when I get home. I'm always interested in people's opinions.

Oh, oops. Our generals will be informed immediately. [blush2]

I'm going hard on Mathematics, but we don't really need that really quickly, do we?

IIRC Regentman is doing IW on min, so maybe he could give you some money? I can give you 10 gold now, but it's not very good.

Hehe..no probs Tomo-ruka. I was like what is he doing on my wheat? I was going to chop anyhow.
Regentman has plenty of cash. However I did turn up his research on the last turn and he can get IW in about four turns.

OK a few things of note. I get philo next. If I get philo, Map Making seems to be the free choice. Let me know if you want it.

Another thing, regentman I saw my first barb. He was headed towards my settler which I sent back to the capital. The barb ending up doing an about face and was headed in the direction of your settler. He is currently standing next to my warrior. I would prefer to whack him on grass rather than the forest but I will if you need me to. Do you have any units in the area?

Hey, if we get Map Making we could find the other continent and maybe land a horse or two there... [mischief]

Yes yes yes....

If I get philo and map making. Which path should I take next?

Another thought is I could do a min run on something, build cash and give it to RegentMan for a mass immortal upgrade. This is something that was very successful in SGOTM6 with the Gallic Swords. We built lots of vet warriors for 10s and then hooked up the iron and mass upgraded to GS's.

Any thoughts? Lurkers feel free to chime in.

I get iron working next turn. Watch - there's no iron in the world. [sad] ;)

Cool.
I think there will be iron but it might be by one of us. What do you think of that idea? You can crank a lot of 10s warriors.

[band] We have philo and Map making!

I sent it to both of you but don't accept it unless you have a galley ready to go this turn. I went to lit at 80% in 9. Let me know if this works for you guys. Myst could be done in 4 at 80% (35 on min) so I presume they're going at monarchy hard.

BTW My warrior fortified in the forest and the barb didn't even dent him when attacking near Arbela. Coast is clear for now.

Iron working discovered. I have one outside my cultural borders inside my city's radius, and the Iroquois has one on a mountain in their territory. I don't know about Japan.

I set research on code of laws (13 turns). However, if I am doing the massive upgrade, then I should probably do minimum science.

Also, send your tech gifts accepted! :p

That may be a better idea RegentMan. That way Haruka and I can ram forward on techs for us. With math in soon we will have all the AA military techs. Start cranking those warriors!

Now we need a government.
I get the feeling they did a beeline to monarchy. Myst is only 4 turns if I switch. I think I should switch from lit to myst so we can get to monarchy.

Math is in. Sorry, I did one turn of zero research, but I guess I can pick it up for RegentMan. Or maybe I'll stay at zero and he can research CoL, and I'll give him the money.

Republic wouldn't be too good because of the WW, right?

Yeah I can't see republic working so well with the number of casualties that are bound to occur. The only way that would work is if that country purely played defense the majority of the game. I don't see that happening.

Hakura di you want to run at myst and he can turn off research?

Dudes...

Screw the War Weariness...

Republic all the way guys! Make the money.

Trust me, respect the dollah. Knights of the New Republic...

[groucho]

Melifluous

Also Haruka is Japanese (religious) He definately should go republic, he can change in a turn the moment WW gets too much :)

Melifluous

This is accelerated production. Might be twice as many casualties.

Really Mel? Even if we are in a locked alliance against those guys and will be at war forever?
Haruka I could see being religious.

Ah locked war from the start?

I retract my earlier stupid statement.

But yeah still maybe for Haruka...

Melifluous

I'll give it a try - it's two anarchy turns at the worst.

Do we want to try for any wonders?

I'll run at Myst, I guess, and I won't need max to get 4 turns, so that's good. I'm running kinda low on mullah.

I will send you 10g. Regentman gave me more than plenty last time. If you go republic then we have to research it. I think we skip it and get the pointy's out fast.
Are any wonders really worth the shields? We could always feign a wonder build.

So am I researching code of laws, or am I killing the scientists?

Kill the scientists Regentman. Haruka can go myst and I will continue with lit.

Oh, we want to find the other continent. Should we begin constructing a navy?

I'll do a min run on Republic some time later when we have CoL probably.

Yes Yes Yes. Naval activities! I already have one being pushed in the water next.
Republic is not a huge priority so that makes sense.

Regentman, who should get that city spot between Pasagardae (sp?) and my cities? I'm finishing a settler in that area in two turns.

Well, without knowing your guys' lands, I've constructed a dotmap of the minimum of what I'd like to see Persia have. Please let me know of any disputed dots. I also think that Japan and I should work together to split up the southern part of our continent.

@Hakura - Take it. My settler from Parsagade (next turn) will head east to begin my colonization there.

Okay, here's my map and my dots.

I assume the rest of the south is for me then? Here's my lame attempt to make a world map. Thanks for not using the grid, Hakura! :p ;)

Also, if you both put up world maps (with grid) then I'll attempt to make a better world map.

Here is my dot map. My lime green dot conflicts with Regentman's and the settler is there. I was hoping to capture that lake. The other settler is headed to the red dot. My next settlers I was thinking blue then yellowish area or the one below Giddyup greenish kind of color. BTW regentman nice teamwork on the barb!!

Hmm... I was hoping to have a ring around my capital. Your call Whomp.

RegentMan, I kinda noticed my lack of gridding too late. [blush2]

I think there's a desert dot you missed.
