Random stuff!
- I commented stuff in OH's report via chat and I'm too lazy to repeat (and it's too boring for lurkers)
- I was wrong, Krill+Novice and dazed accepted our OBs, I was just too hasty and they had not played yet. This will have positive impact for our scouting
- Azza and Mardoc signed peace, apparently no blood was spilled during their whole war
- It was dazedroyalty who built MoM
- I left a bunch of in-game-signs for OH
- Changed two tile assignments so that Kirby grows quicker (as discussed) and so that Butterscotch also grows this turn
- Known-tech bonus will be huge in this game, again. Probably too big, again. Illustration below..
Our GNP when researching different techs
Theology 673 (nobody has it)
Philosophy 701 (probably only BGN)
Aesthetics (only 1, BGN?)
MC 898 (8 players)
IW 982 (11 players)
Construction 1010 (12 players)
Feudalism (forgot to check
)
So if we put research on Construction we are getting a 48 % bonus for our raw beakers, which in this case would mean 337 actual beakers more than if we would research Theology.. That's a pretty big boost.. Later in the game one civ already provides 8 % bonus (currently "only 4 %") and the maximum is 75 % --> keeping up with a smaller empire will be fairly easy, which means that planning your strategy around being a tech leader and counting on crushing everyone through being 2 eras ahead is probably not the right strategy.. Obviously being ahead in tech is better than being behind, but what we definitely need is much more land and later a dominating MFG (utilizing SAs and 1-pop whips helps in the mid-game).
