Ha! I guess I wasn't clear enough on options, but here is the comparison.. (I should totally be doing something else)
(we start with HA at 45/50 and aqueduct at 48/100. We make 16 base hammers this turn, 10 on T120 and 11 starting T121 due to GA ending and working one further grass hill cottage. T121 there is also a 24 base hammer chop coming in..)
Option A (wait for OR):
EOT119: Aqueduct 72/100
EOT120: HA 60/50
EOT121: Forge 71/120
EOT122: Forge 90/120
EOT123: Forge 109/120
EOT124: Forge 128/120
EOT125: Aqueduct 102/100
Option B (start forge ASAP):
EOT119: HA 69/50
EOT120: Forge 33/120
EOT121: Forge 94/120
EOT122: Forge 113/120
EOT123: Forge 132/120
EOT124: Aqueduct 82/100
EOT125: Aqueduct 104/100
Soo.. Option B wins slightly! Running wealth on T120 could be the most efficient approach, but I think we want to convert all the production in Alfie into actual infra/units. EDIT: Just FYI, we don't need to finish Aqueduct yet, we probably grab at least a hindu monastery first. It's just there to ease comparison.
Quote:- In Marmalade - I wouldn't whip in a GA, even crap tiles are worth something, but next turn it probably makes sense. Without checking I think whipping this turn would be worth 1 extra food but cost four commerce.
The tradeoff is 2 food (+1 food surplus this turn, +1 from having lighthoused fish next turn) for 4 commerce and having the possibility to work coast at Marmalade next turn (JB would like to borrow a farm next turn or the turn after so it could be relevant too). Those 2 food help in getting Marmalade bigger and being able to whip library there sooner and continue on GPP production. Anyways, I don't feel too strongly about either option so feel free to decide!
Quote:- I'll have a look tomorrow morning and come back with any questions and a religion spread plan. We'll prioritize the ones with a lot of infra left to build (Forges, SAs, Markets, Libraries) and leave the ones that will be producing units over the next few turns until later.
Remember, no need to get all the infra done immediately! Guilds is coming very soon and maybe we want 15 HAs that are about to complete to auto-upgrade into knights and start making gains? And same thing maybe in few cities and maces?Quote:If you want I can try to finish off this turn and take on turn playing fully next turn (with help - what sort of times are you available on chat?) What would be really useful is if you note any macro plans for cities on the spreadsheet - I think we'll probably just play micro by the seat of our pants from now on, barring wonder builds and Oxford...
Sounds good, I'll probably be available for an hour starting 9 PM your time. No stress about it though, I should have more time tomorrow so we might do a lengthier chat around t120.
