[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

[Old Harry]

Turn 187 pt 1

The Forbidden Palace almost halves our distance maintenance, and lops 28 gold off our inflation too . The equation for Free Market vs State Property becomes 360 gold vs 20-50 food + ~70 hammers. That extra food would tend to turn into more hammers rather than commerce...


In foreign affairs:
- CH accepted the Banana, Rice, Dye for Deer, Crab, Gold, Clam deal we offered last turn. We've now got duplicates of all the resources we're getting via trades just in case someone cancels unexpectedly.
- BGN is a turn from Liberalism, dtay is four from Communism. Boldly has 3777 cash saved, so it looks like he doesn't realise hes in a race (he had 2671 two turns ago). Krovice are the only players with Steel so far and are two turns from Constitution. None of our Democracy-rivals have gone there yet, so the theory that they're all more interested in Corporation is looking good.
- These are the defences uncovered in the north (so far)


I decided that having a shot of every city in our empire would be a good idea . Especially taking that shot now, during the GA, when they'll all look their best...

First 26 cities:

Alfie is at its final size now, working Scientists as the multiplier is higher 255% vs 100% for cash. That's the right move isn't it?


Butterscotch will build a Harbour and Customs House as the slider is so high that Grocer and Market give less benefit.


Cornelius can build units or Wealth once the Observatory is done.


Daisy will just pump a Cavalry every two turns from now until forever.


Should Englebert complete the University, get a Harbour and Customs house, build an Observatory or just build wealth and give B it's mine?


Flossie has three more turns of being a production powerhouse. That'll nearly get us this Observatory.


I'm windmilling the hills for Gertie with the idea of borrowing the pigs to keep it growing, I dunno how that fits with the GP plan though - we're supposed to run 16 specialists for two turns if we want the next GA t209, otherwise it'll be t212. It's our main EP pump, and will pump more with the Security Bureau .


Hazelnut will only make 87 hammers a turn after the golden age.






Starving Kirby from 14-13 at the end of the golden age allows it to make an extra 72 GP points. It's probably not that much use in this golden age, so lets save it until the next one...


Lucky is due to pop its Merchant t229.


Marmalade could starve 12-11 to get 42 extra GPPs, if we don't bother the GP comes two turns later and doesn't hurt the golden age start date, so again, lets hold off until the 3-man GA.




Ophelia probably wants a Harbour/Customs House, unless we want to keep pushing units.








Not enough cheap MP.






Veggies could do with a Harbour/Customs House combo. Does it want a Forge first though?


Finishing the Harbour before the Rifle as the Rifle wouldn't finish this turn anyway.


I'm not a fan of hybrid cities .




Not long now.

end of part one...
