[SPOILERS] Welcome to the Kuro Corporation! (Kuro and BaII)

[Kuro]

Turn on! We seemed agreed to Pottery first anyway, so I'm heading towards that. It will be done in six turns.

Getting a look at WilliamLP's capital shows some...interesting choices.



Astute readers with eyes will first note the three Warriors (I could only see one when I moved ours onto the hill, so I figured it was safe: He might sac one to whack our Warrior: In fact, he almost certainly is. That would be why we are at "war": He declared on us when our Warrior moved next to his. Even if he tries to do something to us, it's just Warriors, so a single Axe whip basically takes care of it. Plus, seeing the 3 Warriors accounts for 3k of his Power, so it's highly doubtful he has a huge army behind it...), but the bizarre thing? That rice isn't farmed. It's COTTAGED. Very confusing: Yes, a Rice is a three food tile, so you ger 3/0/1 that eventually turns into a Town...but 4/0/0 = free population = just cottage a Grassland, PLUS faster growth, plus it gets to 5 FPT with irrigation, plus whipping help, plus...it's just silly, even if they have a lot of food.

Since our Warrior is probably gonna get whacked, I might doublewhip an Axe from Walton when the Worker is done and just plain use it to scout. Let's see warrior whacking happen then.

(And yes, WilliamLP probably loses in this exchange if he loses a Warrior, which he probably will, so I'm not even displeased)

With Masonry in, I whip the Lighthouse, which gives us 26 overflow: You can overflow up to however much an item costs, so I also chopped a forest to make it 46 overflow. Standard Oil will also grow EOT.

Interestingly, though, WilliamLP's power DID go up, but I am not sure if it is much more than Warriors + pop (He went up from 78 to 84, so he probably grew a pop point at least). Here are Graphs.

Culture/Espionage tells us nothing. If you are worried about an invasion, I'll switch Walton's Worker to a Warrior to grow, then 2-pop whip the Axe when it grows to Size 4 (Putting the resulting stuff into another axe). Do you think the threat is big enough for me to do so? I suppose it could be a good idea just to bust barbs, too...

Here are Demographics.
