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

[TeddyKGB]

Got reply from Zulu, they accept NAP and EP deal.

- I should ask Arki if our deal still in place.
- Princeton has Axe 1-2 turns from complition now. I was thinking we could start Catapult there and chop into it right after construction.
- Yep, we have 4-5 turns after Rome's SoD appear NW of Antium or Rome DoW on us and kill chariot.
- Right now we dont have unhappy faces. Next turn we might in Princeton (no garrison there). I was gonna ask Yuufo for deal starting t102 and Silk will come from t103.
- Ok.

I was thinking about tech path again. I don't like it, but we might decide go Archery->HBR after all. UIllinois could be hard to defend if Rome move on us full force. And we don't wanna they are advance beyond it. Interesting, fun time.

BTW, Yuufo just whip 4 cities and no longer on top of scoreboard. Does it mean he saw stack of Praets? I'll try to chat with him tonight.

T101.

UWisconsin founded. Chop Library before granary there. We'll get granary soon also.
Yuufo whip Library in Cheer. I guess all he can hold by culture is the 1st ring.
Rome still not showing any movement in our direction, not even EP spending.

Our slider is around 30% breakeven with new city and few wealth builds.
We are 1st in MFG and 2nd in food, but Asterix and SutUxy keep growing.

Want to play some turns or still busy?

On t102 we should probably put slider on 100%, maybe add some wealth. If I understand correct, next turn we'll get failed 90gold, but maybe its on t104?

Pictures.

Start of T102.

[DMOC]

I think we should go ahead with the furs trade. Asterix sent a PM asking about the incense trade, and I told him that he should trade his incense since it doesn't look like we're interested in incense (especially if furs are available).

Any chat with Yuufo?

Any sign of missionary from Arkipeller?

As I mentioned before, I really don't have time to play until Jan 2/3. This is basically your team now.

[TeddyKGB]

I didn't chat with Yuufo yet.
Anyway, as you can see, right now we has no unhappiness. Next turn we should get silk.
And 5gpt is big for us right now.
Yuufo's GNP is almost as bad as Rome's now, but he is start to build libraries and keep working cottages.

I'll try to chat with Arki too.

[DMOC]

Yeah, maybe we don't need either deal for happiness, since we've got silk coming in. No deal, then.

But is there a Hindu missionary coming? Because of the forests there really should be one visible or at least one tile away if he's going to make it to MIT on turn 105...

[TeddyKGB]

T102-103.

Put slider on 100%. T103 finished Moai but no failed gold this turn, so had to wait for another turn for construction.
Offer stone<>silk deal to SutOxy at the start of t103. They has just single silk yet.

Rome keep building army. Maybe he wants attack all 3 of us at the same time?
GG's GNP is the worst, afaik. Maybe Ponies is, but GG's GNP is much worse than everyone we can see graphs of.

Tao spread in MIT.

Some pictures.

[DMOC]

1. No sign of a Hindu missionary? We should still ask for MIT, pray that religion spread works ... alternatively, go to capital? Delays it even more ...

2. And yeah, looks like we can start catapults on turn 105. After that, want to put research on 0% while researching some cheap early religious techs? (Meditation or Polytheism?)

3. Any science specialists in Berkeley? We should still have 1 city work scientists, and Berkeley is far from the war front that it might work. We may need Washington or another city to do wealth...

4. I'll log into the game sometime this weekend to check things out.

5. Going to be really concerned about Rome. Maybe Stanford should build / chop another axe/cataput. Actually, we should probably get at LEAST three cities to start on catapults when we get Construction.

6. Did you chat with Asterix? I noticed you were in the game with him at the same time last night.

[TeddyKGB]

1. No. Maybe Stanford ok, as well.

2. Yes, first catapults should be soon using some chop, whip and overflow. 0% ok, we could decide tech path based on Romes action.

3. Not yet, I'll put 2sci there once it regrow. Washington has barracks, maybe better to produce units in it.

4. Good.

5. We'll get MIT+Cornell+Princeton at least. Washington as well most likely.

6. No, I didn't. He just log in and out while I was ingame. Never said me a word.

[TeddyKGB]

T103.

I was wrong, we can saw Hindu missionary heading our way. It won't get to MIT on t105.

SutOxy accept resource deal. We got +1happy in every city and +2 in CM.

Other interesting deals made. Orgy buy Spices from Asterix and Silk from SutOxy. He has Silk himself, but no calendar. Maybe he rushed to LB or XBow as he said.

Rome put 1EP on us. Very aggressive.

At the start of T104 we got score=400. We are on top of scoreboard, we are the first team who break 400 points mark. Yay!
We'll whip a bit this turn, but next turn we'll get Construction.

Brief comments:

1. Looks like we get Hinduism on turn 106 in MIT (barring bad luck). Let's just not ask to change cities, and I'll send him a message saying it's okay to have it on turn 106. We should still return our worker on turn 105, and I won't ask for more gold, just so we stay on their "good" side. Where's our worker we're going to give them, by the way? Also, they have 20 gold ... let's hope their saving gold now.

[I want to hold off on sending Arki a message until I get confirmation from you about our worker timing.]

2. Good thing about score; let's make sure we're not going to go ahead. Should be easy since SutOxy will soon catapult ahead once they start their MoM-golden age(s?). And we need more axes/catapults.

3. We'll probably need some farms at Georgia Tech since we'll be competing with them for culture on that sheep.

4. Why is Caltech building a lighthouse?

5. Tech path after Construction? Do we want Meditation or Polytheism?
