- We have spent some time simming and planning our 40-turn plan from here. And actually it made at least me a bit more optimistic that we can work our way out of this economic hole and do something semi-relevant in this game. Meaning a) I think OT4E and William will struggle even more to fix their economies and we should get an upper hand in the mid-term.. and hopefully eat one or both of our neighbors, and b) I have faith in our Astro plan. Proper commitment for it might give us another tool for improving our position a decent bit.
Oh well, just wait 10 turns and surely our waters are full of OT4E triremes, Toku is coming at us with cats and we are back to complete irrelevancy and dogfight..
Do you think you could expound on your sim? Does it also include the worst-case scenario that you tongue-in-cheek indicated of the waters full of OT4E triremes and Toku cat attack on T102?
I guess what I'm really hoping is that in addition to a +40 simulation, you also simulate the near-term moves of your neighbors to consider possible counter-punches to their punches. And then you also simulate their reaction to your reaction to their reaction, etc etc.
