Turn 94
Exciting times in the north. Let's see whether we can share the little island peacefully or if things escalate.. (There's a Toku archer below our immortal and a settler in our galley)
In the south we have potentially a chance to make even more friends by sniping this city... or Donovan's axe
Our demos are somewhat above average and we still have a power lead over our neighbors, but it's time to add some more units:
Yeah.. Not sure how serious you were, but I'm still gonna use every opportunity to talk about spreadsheets.. So basically we were trying to sim our tech pace and plan how to reach our next economic goals (Astronomy & Civil Service). Here's a pic of a simple tool that I constructed for optimizing our space race in PB18 and now for this sim.
So basically what we did:
As for results, we now have a rough timeline to plan around. If all goes well we can buld Astronomy ~T126 and complete Civil Service ~T130. We also confirmed that the science, and not great person production will be the bottleneck here, which will impact our turn-by-turn city management. Aaand our best guess is that if we need to divert to Construction or HBR we should expect a delay of ~3 turns in our plan.
We are still working on the counter-punch scenario
But safe to say that we are expecting our world to turn into flames, before we actually get to execute the plan.

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.

Here's a pic of a simple tool that I constructed for optimizing our space race in PB18 and now for this sim.So basically what we did:
- Simmed the next 10ish turns to see how Alpha & Currency push & other stuff improves our economy
- Used rough assumptions for estimating our tech pace during the next period
