Commodore Wrote:Hey HAK, was that you who nabbed Theology? The score increase was right. Up for a worker-for-missionary trade? So after the whole discussion that followed this post, the above is not possible. Not that it would have been a fare trade anyway. Not by a long shot. A religion gives ultimately massive boosts, many buildings that can later be built, units that can get extra experience, and a couple dozen other huge benefits. Plus, once you get it in one city you would get it spread to all your cities. So that’s a big multiplier. A worker….well, just gets to manage some improvements. So I guess the only way for the religion to spread would be if I captured one of your cities and held onto it until religion spread to it, and getting some use out of the city during that time. And then you would then have to capture it back after it has religion. And that still wouldn’t be enough of a trade-off.  Though I would gladly spread religion to all your cities, but that would kind of entail your empire coming under my control. 
We could try to annex your lands as well, but we're much too peaceful for that.
 I guess we'll remain atheists and worship at our slot machines instead of at your alters.

@pindicator - What are you thoughts on me sailing a workboat along the coast past your civ? Is there any way it could sail that would mitigate any impact and make it permissible to you?
HitAnyKey Wrote:So Ichabod....looks like you guys did something fun this turn. "I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law." Well, after you pointed out the usefulness of a religion, we decided we couldn't live without one. It's all about the Yin... And somewhat about the Yang too...Or maybe the other way around... Ah, I don't really know...
What the heck is up with the East/West dichotomy here? You guys out there just teched (bulbed, I assume) Philosophy?
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out. Commodore Wrote:What the heck is up with the East/West dichotomy here? You guys out there just teched (bulbed, I assume) Philosophy? Well, there were 2 religions left last turn. We got one. The above post is a feint, though. We didn't get Taoism. So, what religion did we get? Another hint: we could have gotten 2 religions if HAK wasn't a turn faster... 
Commodore Wrote:What the heck is up with the East/West dichotomy here? You guys out there just teched (bulbed, I assume) Philosophy? No, no! I can see the confusion, but we discovered Philately. Everyone on the team got a free magnifying glass and tweezers, and that's the source of our score increase. |
Up 17 points at the turn flip, and the another 18 during the turn? Nice!
