[SPOILERS] Fire and Blood: Nyles Standish and Zalson watch the world burn

[Zalson]

So I did some thinking about it today and we should start a worker in Valyria once it grows to 5 and then whip/chop 2, starting T72.

Start 1 in Volantis after settler completes (whip it).

Start axes in Tyrosh and KL immediately and whip once we grow to 3.

Dragonstone should grow to 3 (7T I think) on an axe or monument or something. Then starts a worker.

Haven't been able to confirm this but should mean we can get +3 workers in 5 turns? Depends on chops up at Valyria.

Lemme know what you think.well

[Zalson]

Need me jump in? Should be able in about an hour. Let me know if I should play too.

[Zalson]

Nyles was able to play last night; I have a rare midweek day off so I am going to jump into the game once my daughter goes down for her nap and report on what we've done in the last few turns.

[Zalson]

I thought I would pop in to report on the game this morning. However, while I was able to access the city screen:



I was unable to see anything else. So that's nice.

I'm going to try one more time. But, honestly, the 4x login process and the result of a completely invisible map is not very fun.

What this does mean is that Nyles saw my notes yesterday and moved to implement them. Woo. Teamwork.

[Zalson]

This is what I'm seeing on login: Can any lurkers help?

[Zalson]

We whip both axes?

[Zalson]

8th post in a row! Nyles was able to interact with things last time, so obviously, he was not having this blacked out interface issue.

[Zalson]

Success! Got in on the first try. Now to take some pretty pitchures.

Nyles has been busy. We’ve done some bloodletting — as you can see: dcodea has sent his settler off into the ether — that or he deleted the unit because he thought we were going to kill him somehow.



We killed 2 warriors and have 3 axes approaching the field. That’s what this looks like.

We’re getting like 95% odds or so with our 3 axes. Do we want to hit him now? He’ll have 3 axes left? Maybe next turn (when counterattacking axes will be in position)? Our lack of workers is really hurting — we have to walk as slowly as possible to get to dcodea. we’re 3 turns out from our first axe being able to attack; 5 turns to get all 3 to attack.

Behold, we charge like molasses: inevitable until he gets archers sometimes soon because OMG WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR DCODEA!?

(I hope this interpreted as self-deprecating humor rather than invective criticism, Nyles. Because that’s how it should be interpreted).

Power graphz.



King’s Landing had an open build so I added an axeman. it might be worth it to switch to a chariot: we’ve got 13 overflow and I didn’t know we would connect horses as I cycled through taking pictures.



That also explains my terrible innovative management of Volantis and Tenochitlan Myr.

I think the proper config is below: Myr gets the pigs so it can grow in 1T. Volantis follows a worker with another worker.




you’ll have to change this back because I decided that Myr should work the horses for some odd reason.


Tyrosh finally gets that monument next turn. maybe grow onto … a … chariot?

Valerie should finish the worker and … well not build roads onto plains hills. I thought I paused that action but alas for my unawareness of the way turn actions get moved. Unless you were trying to get these workers down south to get roads to Alison?

Let’s chop both remaining forest at Volantis into another worker, then cottage the flatland (1S of the silk so it can share with Myr?)

The workers at Valyria should either go become combat workers or probably start building us some cottages.

Finally, I dialed down research to 0% and moved us over to Writing. While Libraries are useful, we should get math. Those forests need to get chopped!

Why is Jaime a spearman? He needs to be a swordsman or a knight!

[Zalson]

The idea was that spearmen would be the kingsguard. Maybe we update it so that spearmen are Dornish?
