Well i went through a time where i was iffy on if i should even attempt the Colossus when its been shown to have fallen before this turn before. However i looked into seeing how quickly we could get the Colossus, and... its not bad. First, i derped and had forgotten that Forges get +100% production from Ind.. So, i played around with the tiles, and im going to end up whipping the forge into the colossus with alot of overflow. Ill be chopping 3 forests inside culture, and i think 2 outside to try and nab the Colossus. If it falls before being complete the extra chops will go into units/settlers to stop the new barb AXES from causing a pain. Plus the failgold will help fund teching towards CS. ETA on Alphabet is somewhere in the 7 turn range. I settle my first island city next turn, and i hope to settle a new island city every 5-10 turns for the rest of the game, whether that's from a settler or from capturing some backwards civ... we shall find out. In about 20 turns or so, i should have horses hooked up and i can get myself a nice stack of Num Cav's to ride along this Big island and fight off anyone foolish enough to settle near me.
More Colossus talk--
From my current projections, the city will grow in roughly 4 turns, and the forge "completes" in 4.5 turns. Im hoping that i can get that overflow nice and ready for the chops to come in as well.
Small question, how does overflow work with 100% forge bonus going into 50% copper bonus that the colossus gets? Do the hammers get multiplied from the whip going into the forge, then arrive in the Colossus as those hammers? Or how would that all work? Basically.. im asking if its possible to get more overflow by chopping into the forge after the whip, rather than just waiting for the Colossus to start, before chopping.. I think this is a purely mechanics question..
Please help?
