[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

Nah it's not that bad. I default to granary before lighthouse, but in PB5 there was a couple times where I had a city where I felt lighthouse first would be better. Novice corrected me, and a lengthy discussion on build orders and the effect of a granary was the result. PB8 rolled around and pindicator had the same idea about going lighthouse first in some city, and another heated debate broke out... and it worked out to be pretty much the same either way. So here we are in PB13 going lighthouse first in Boilermakers.

Yep, I didn't realize how bad it was. I'm not sure how pindicator could even hear me when I had city screens open.

I'm surprised you're making fun of us doing Lighthouse before Granary, when the low-hanging fruit is that we're going to build a Monument after the Lighthouse and before Granary lol

Monument first might actually be the best move here...

Yeah, I wasn't going to make fun of something that might actually be right...

I started to wonder this too, so I'm in the middle of simming those out. And watching college football with my dad, so it's going slowly

Don't mute the ingame sound, just turn it down a little.

Swap that thing to a monument, it's a 4 turn improvement on Moai.

Edit: That should be past tense, because I just did it. Current ETA on Moai is eot123. I think I can get 122. bad math, those 50h 2-pop whips are tripping me up. eot124 is the due date for Moai

You got the micro for the different scenarios online somewhere?

All I know is he simmed out several of these scenarios and I think he was kinda trying to bait one of you guys to call smoke on delaying the granary so long so he could prove you wrong. lol

I had it done on notepad, but re-writing it as a google doc made me find a couple of mistakes. For instance, in my notepad i had listed t109 twice so the eta is actually end of turn 125 smoke

Google docs link comparing lighthouse vs granary first

Lighthouse wins. Moai faster by a turn, more tile yields out of the city
