RBP3 [SPOILERS] National Pastime (Rapoleon_Hi of the Aztecs)

[Ruff_Hi]

Chatted to Krill ... no BS from him, just me janking his chain a little ...

• Ruff: Krill - just got a CAN tech update from DIM
  
• Krill: yup?
  
• Ruff: just looking at what tech I can contribute with
  
• Krill: Compass?
  
• Ruff: useful
  was thinking Lit after India finish its pre req
  
• Krill: You could just stockpile gold and prepare to fund multiple people at omce
  yeah, that is smart
  
• Ruff: I have gold to run tech
  or to flip to people when currency comes in
  the other option is theology
  
• Krill: You can tech Theo if you want.
  
• Ruff: really - thought you would want that ... it has a religion!
  
• Krill: Still need to consider my position - already need 2 GPfor shrines
  
• Ruff: just sit on your oracle output
  or build a temple to help it along
  
• Krill: or OObelisk
  
• Ruff: how many do they allow?
  
• Krill: 2
  
• Ruff: hmm - and so Egypt selection becomes clear
  nicely done
  
• Krill:
  WC worked out well
  Every thinks I'm going to go berserk with them
  
• Ruff: yeah ... not so much
  
• Krill: backs off, then I build Oracle
  and too late to do anything abut me short term.
  of course, I'm going to get dogpiled by t150 easy
  
• Ruff: well - you got your early kill didn't you?
  
• Krill: hah
  That could have happened to anyone
  could have happened to me the turn after i got hte kill
  
• Ruff: really ... who?
  
• Krill: oh, I mean, anyone could have got me with a starting warrior
  I went worke first, as did so many teams
  
• Ruff: I didn't
  but yeah - risk
  

sent the following to CAN ... I am sure that everyone will spot the benefit here to me ... the Great Library. Not many of them know that I already have marble quarried. Not going to connect it just yet in case they can see my resources.

Hi All,

Please forward to others in CAN that I don't know yet.

HRE filled me in on the tech position ...

Babylon - Currency
Mali - Calendar
Maya - Metal Casting
India - Aesthetics
England - Monarchy
Carthage - Construction
HRE - Code of Laws
Krill - unknown
Ottomans - undecided
Aztec - saving coin
Portugal - saving coin?

As you know, I was stifled a little due to the Inca incursion. However, I should have my civ back up and running pretty well shortly. As such, I would like to contribute TECH to CAN.

I want to put down a place holder for Literature. Be sure to have your level 4 unit ready for when I can trade it. I'll give you an ETA at a later date.

Game is back and the turn has rolled. I had 3 units with Barb implications ... and the results are ...

- one very sick warrior with no where to heal
- one barb ran away

Any chance of a status update?

[Ruff_Hi]

yeah - its been a while hasn't it. I'll see if I can do one for today.

[Ruff_Hi]

Here is an update for you ...

Nice work!

[Ruff_Hi]

A more complete update. I am finally out to 4 cities, another one in the North picking up corn and horses and one in the South (wheat, pigs, lots of hills). Because I am a totally slow bastard on the expansion side, I have missed out on some choice spots in the floodplain dominated desert. However, I have secured my NW borders with a NAP with Manicat.

Here is an overview of my land with city spots marked.



India's Great Prophet that was going to Krill turned around and came back here once PAT / CUDDLE sprang to life. Since then, I have chopped out 5 missionaries (Copper city, India, Ottomans, HRE, Inca) and after 90 turns of trying, I finally got a religion spread ...



I did have a Woodie II warrior mapping up East of England ... unfortunately, he ended a turn next to a barb axe (but he more than held his own) ...



The Religious state of the world


Plans for the future - grow. You can see that I have a complete round of workers in production. After that, a select settler or two and then more missionaries.

Capital


Copper City


New city in North


New City in South

Has anyone guessed your city naming theme?

Has anyone guessed your city naming theme?

yeah - check post 41 or 81. It went pretty quickly.
