[SPOILERS] Novice's nominal nonchalance

[novice]

I whipped the settler for Ice Cream, overflowing into a worker. I'll delay the worker by 1t by starting a warrior on t33 - this is so I can use the overflow from the worker to 1-turn a granary, aided by a chop. (I'll tech Pottery t32-t34).



Beach Ball will finish its warrior at size 4 with 1 hammer overflow, put 12 foodhammers a turn into a settler and 2-whip it at 25/65. The settler will settle 1NE of copper. That's why I have warriors moving out northwest - with enemies running around I need to secure the area.

Nico is spending his EP elsewhere, so at the end of turn I got his graphs.

[pling]

Serdoa got a tech with no soldier points, I'm tentatively putting this down as Priesthood for his Oracle run, could also be Pottery. I'd see either as plausible, any thoughts?

Seven got a tech & 2k soldiers. I think this is probably him researching Pottery and building a Warrior, but he could've teched Hunting instead.

Nicolae got a no soldier points tech, I'm saying Pottery. (I've pretty much decided that on T24 he got hunting not myst.)

Mackoti settled his second city, 9 tiles of land.

I've marked up Nicolae's graphs, spoilered for size:

And I forgot to do a summary on T30 :blush: so here's one for T31:

Seven

• Cities:
  • Capital @ size 5
    
  • 1 @ size 1
• Army: 3 Warriors, one with a promo that killed our scout
  
• Techs: Mining, Myst, Agri, AH, BW, Wheel, Pottery. 19 beakers behind us.

Nicolae

• Cities:
  • Capital @ size 4
    
  • 1 @ size 1
• Army: 2 Warriors, one of which we can see
  
• Techs: Agri, Wheel, AH, Mining, BW, Hunting, Pottery. 28 beakers behind us.

Mackoti

• Cities:
  • Capital @ size 5
    
  • 1 @ size 1
• Army: 3 Quechua, one of which we can see
  
• Techs: Myst, Agri, AH, Mining, Wheel, BW. 95 beakers behind us.

Serdoa

• Cities:
  • Capital @ size 3
    
  • 1 @ size 3
• Army: 4 Warriors
  
• Wonders: Stonehenge
  
• Religion: Buddhism
  
• Techs: Agri, Wheel, AH, Mining, BW, Myst, Medi, Priesthood. 37 beakers ahead of us.

Serdoa grew his capital to size 4. He built a Warrior.

Nicolae grew his second city to size 2. I'm pretty sure he only got enough more of a power increase to've built a Warrior. But there is a chance that he built a War Chariot and either Seven or Serdoa got no soldiers this turn. (I believe his power increase showed up on those graphs at EOT (thanks for that save) and it's too small for a WC.) That would mean as well as the two Warriors we can see he has another one still back with his cities.

Seven got another tech, one turn after his last one :exclamation: I am tentatively suggesting Hunting for that, with 2k soldiers. Partly coz it's a small tech.

Mackoti did nothing I can tell.

Thanks Pling. I didn't have time for a turn report today, but as you can tell from Pling's post, Nico showed up with a warrior from the south, while his northern warrior seems to be planning to go past us and explore. I'm not quite sure what the purpose of his southern warrior is. Maybe it's a sentry. If he steps onto the corn I have two warriors that can attack it.

Pictures from t32, still waiting for t33.





Nico's power graph, which had us slightly worried.



I inspected it in paint.net today though and I think his latest increase is 3k, so it's not a war chariot, it's growth from 5 to 6 pop points and a warrior.

So, the naming theme is things we find at the beach? Let me suggest a name, then!

Grilled Cheese!



...

Yeah, they actually sell these things in the beaches here. I think it was forbidden, though I'm not really sure. (And I'm not sure if grilled is the right word for it in english :blush.

[NobleHelium]

Grilled cheese is definitely a proper English term, but nobody eats grilled cheese on a stick here...

I assume that is a profile shot? I cannot be sure.

[Commodore]

A cheese-stick?

"Sweaty Fat Man"

What do you mean by profile shot?

[NobleHelium]

Profile shot means a view from the side.
