Turn 80
This turn we settled our island city to see how our demos changed. Hippo's borders popped a turn earlier than I thought they would, so OT *should* now know that we have Sailing. While he's pestering GJ I think we should keep the galley where he can see it, if he stops then we should move it away to make him paranoid about attacking us.
Financial advisor before.
And after we save 2 gold on unit cost and supply, city maintenance goes up 4 and civics go up 2, so our costs only go up by 4gpt. Our income goes up by 14, so Ivan is worth 10 gpt! And Metal Casting is due in four turns.
Poor Elkad. Toku has continued to Toku. It does mean our immortal can sneak through the gap and try to find out some more info about the world.
Following the road takes us to another of Joey's cities. I presume we can't slip through the gap to the south, so we'll carry on east.
We've got a trade connection to both Joey and OT4E thanks to the immortal exploring the island and the road linking OT to Joey. Joey's connected resources look pretty sad, has he been fighting someone we haven't met yet?
Demos and power.
And we have another new city!
Game: Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road
Released: 1990
First played: 1990
Personal rating: Brrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It turns out that games beginning with I are a bit thin on the ground. Now I did play this game a lot and I loved it, but I never bought it - I had a free level from an Amiga Power coverdisk, and decided that I'd never be able to afford the actual game and just played the demo to death instead. That counts though, right?
If you've played Micro Machines or Mario Kart you'll have a feel for the breathless always-accelerating gameplay and the number of times you bounced off the walls and opponents ending up facing the wrong way, cursing and losing.
It's not my favourite game of all time, but it's definitely my favourite game beginning with I. I just wish city names could be a bit longer in Civ.
