[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[DMOC]

Well, I assume he's working on a different missionary for Yos, because he should have already produced the missionary for us since we'll need it earlier per our agreement.

I don't care if he gets longbows early. If he does, good for him. We're not going to aim for a war versus him anytime soon, since we've got our hands full. If he wants to waste research on Feudalism, he's welcome to do that.

Any plans for the current turn? I'll be on and off online while I work on my essays.

[TeddyKGB]

About domestics.

- Convert to Hindu. When we should do it? We have 2 settlers now on the move. Moai timing will be t103 most likely. Right now UWash is unhappy, but it will be over in 1-2 turns (can't remember). EDIT: its 1 turn.

- Where to settle 3rd(12th) city right now? There is a Fur spot, filler spot, east or southeast of Princeton, North of UT. We have 2 settlers this turn in CM and MIT. 3rd settler in UC in 1-2 turns depends on will we revolt or not.

- Where to put EP for now? We just saw Romes tech. Should we keep spending it on Rome?

[TeddyKGB]

Another interesting thing about Arki, will he adopt OR+Monarchy or Theo+Monarchy?

EDIT: nvm, Arki decide to single revolt to OR this turn. Maybe he decide delay Monarchy and go Forges>Xbows.

[TeddyKGB]

There is some dot map and current workers location here:

[TeddyKGB]

There is a msg from Asterix.
Could you find some time to chat with him?

He is playing diplo game and tech away while we are had to build ancient units.
It would be great if he and SutOxy start fighting, but they are both prefer to run with techs first, obv.

Maga is from Poland original, like GG. And if Asterix=Maga then I understand Rome talking to him/her.
Still, not understand why ignore other teams completely. Just to help Maga win this game? Possible.

[DMOC]

All right, I have to head to sleep but I'll try to find some time to chat. Also, I unfortunately don't have much to say about the game, but if we have 2 settlers on the move right now, then I suggest switching to Hinduism right now. 12th city by furs is nice in theory but I think we should hold off on founding that city until we can get some defense going and 2 workers to the area, and we should also check in with Inca about this.

Why do you think Asterix = Maga? Seems weird, but then again, Asterix seems like a … shady, guy, should we say? I did voice my suspicion somewhere earlier in this massive thread.

Actually, what if Haram/Barteq and the other Romans are actually the same player as Asterix? That would be hilarious, to see one person using four or five accounts simultaneously.

[TeddyKGB]

No, five accounts I don't buy.
They had some games before on Polish civ sites as different players, as I know.
And it would be cheating to play for 2 different teams. I don't believe in it.

Still, I am susspicious Maga=Asterix after all that trouble with firewall settings for both of them.
I'd say: Maga=Asterix 65%; Maga and Asterix live under same roof 30%; Everything else 5%. Tho, I was wrong before, its just a complete guess by me.

Ok, I'll swith us to Hindu. Still not sure what to do with settler. I will move chariot closer to fur and try to fogbust there.

I did chat with Yos about grabbing fur actually. He asking for Stone for that. Guess, we could settle this city, cause Yos could grab fur anyway with 1st ring culture, and I'll remind him that he will got much more land by spliting Rome 3-way.

[TeddyKGB]

Chatted with Yuufo a bit.
Here is one interesting msg:

Hi there,
Teddy KGB told me you needed happiness.
We could sell you furs. I was proposing 6 gold per turn, Teddy offered 5 gold per turn and said we could renegotiate after 10 turns.
Would this be OK for you?

The Care Bears

Just a note, Furs get us +2happy with market. Unlike Incense.

[TeddyKGB]

Construction in 3t now on 100%.

I was set our slider to 100% this turn, cause we'll got market soon.
Settler moved and settle. I choose to plant filler instead of furs. Maybe I'm wrong again.
Top power not much spiking this turn, but Antium grow to size5.

Crist missionary going to Yos?

All south units unmoved.

[DMOC]

1. I probably would have preferred that city west of Berkeley as city 11, but the filler city we would have to settle anyway, and it has lower maintenance costs. City 12, by the way, corresponds to "University of Wisconsin - Madison" so how should we name it? UWisconsin? When will we come back to working scientists in CM/Berkeley? We'll probably have to wait until after they grow rite now.

2. Rome's power is just insane right now. I'm not sure why they insist on playing a troll game (ignoring Currency, heading for only military, ignoring diplo, etc.). Good thing we're not seeing any praets right now.

I did chat with Yos about grabbing fur actually. He asking for Stone for that. Guess, we could settle this city, cause Yos could grab fur anyway with 1st ring culture, and I'll remind him that he will got much more land by spliting Rome 3-way.

3. If Blame Caledorn wants stone for that city, I'm not sure what th problem is (unless he wants them before turn 112? If so then we should offer some extra gold, etc. for compensation). We should definitely give it to them if it means we can get the happiness right now (a much more important thing for us right now!). And that way, our 12th city can be founded on the furs. Want to talk to Blame Caledorn about this? What use for stone do we have now? Teddy, I'll leave this negotiation with you since it seems like you've chatted a lot with Yossarian.

4. LAST THING … 5gpt seems reasonable for furs, on the condition that we actually have the population that can use it. (That means growing MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Cornell, CM, and Washington, the cities that can grow fastest right now.) I'm actually sending a message to Asterix saying that India has offered a 5/6 gpt trade to us, to see if he's willing to beat their offer.

Nothing final, of course … and again we need to grow the cities to benefit from the happiness. But yeah, giving Blame Caledonr stone in exchange for furs, I don't have a problem with that, as long as he's willing to wait until turn 112. We can give him stone as long as he wants it (as is reasonable).
