Spoiler for CivIVor BTS Pitboss

socralynnek · 09-08-2007, 11:18

Hey, if you are playing some other leader there then go away now.

ID is hosting a BTS Pitboss.

I have chosen Huayna Capac. I was the last to chose and somehow it seemed to me that from the possible options, this was the best one.

Terraces are nice, the UU, well let's see.

I have played the CDZ grouphug pitboss without doing a lot of cottages, so I need to chose a different style here for using my financial capabilities.

Anyway, that is once I can play myself.

Yesterday the game started, but my computer didn't start.

So I have asked for replacement.
Hopefully Rik will fill this thread with a starting location picture here soon.

BTW, this is an 18 player pitboss.

I've played it. Here's the end-of-turn screenie.
Password is as in the PM.

I chose fishing for the crab resources. A hut next to the settler gave maps.

Cool Thanks very much!

Fishing is perfect!

BTW, the game thread is over there:

Hopefully people will post there when the turn changes.

Starting location looks like Colossus might come in nice at some point...ok, that is weeks to go.

I let you know when my computer is fixed!

I think someone is to our north north-east. There is discoloring 7 north, 3 East of our capital. Shall I walk the Q-unit to there to see what we can find ?

socralynnek · 09-08-2007, 17:36

Oh that reminds me of the only pitboss I played where I eliminated grs very shortly after the game started.

Maybe you could walk up there on a slight indirect way uncovering more tiles (so first once NW and then a few time NE).

DoW is not allowed in the first 10 turns anyway.

And we might find more nice city locations.

Rik Meleet · 09-08-2007, 17:39

In 3 minutes turn 2 starts. I'll login and walk the Q NW and take a screenie so you can tell me what you want.

Mostly desert and some calendar happyness.

socralynnek · 09-08-2007, 17:52

OK, yeah, for best uncovering, I guess it is better to move N once and then NW for a few turns if there is no hut around.

At least the hills to the NE-E of the Q should make a nice second city spot with FPs and some later ressources.

Research should have two priorities: BW for pop rushing and chop rushing and Pottery for Terraces and Cottages. Don't know which first, both could be important.

Rik Meleet · 09-08-2007, 18:04

Want me to change research then ?
BTW: the neighbour shows up white and mousing over their lands indicates Byznatine.

Bronze (+ mining) in 26 turns, Pottery (+ wheel) in 19 turns.
Being financial means sea-tiles produce a lot of commerce. Workboat on Crab gives 5 food + 3 commerce.

socralynnek · 09-08-2007, 18:09

No, I mean after Fishing.
Fishing is still fine, two nice work boats give a huge boost (and maybe a third for exploration)

Byzantine is killercane IIRC. That could be nice or bad...he is a strong player I guess...
