[NO PLAYERS] PB48 Mapmaking and Lurkers

[Fintourist]

Thanks for bringing this up. I genuinely laughed out loud. Gavagai is awesome at diplo.

Here for the lazy ones:

Hi! I tried to be polite last time I wrote but it looks like my politeness was at the expense of clarity. Let me try once again: I'll burn to the ground any city you settle to the east of your Copper's city meridian. I hope, it removes any confusion you could possibly have.

Induct that into the Hall Of Great Diplo Messages asap.

I love the way that Gavagai is clearly aware of what other people think "diplo" means, even goes to the trouble of getting a ded-lurker to help him try it, but in the end just can't.

Huh - Raskol sacrificed a worker to save a city from a barb, but given the city situation, it wasn't going to enter anyway, if they just moved the worker away, was it?

Did the mod change the calculation where barbs attack cities? Because in base BtS it's 2N+1 cities on the map, where N is the number of non barb civs the game started with.

I always go by this post from long ago:

Which says that 2n+1 is the threshold for entering culture if they can pillage the next turn and 3n+1 is the threshold for entering culture to attack the city itself the next turn.    If that's wrong, then I've been playing it wrong for a long time

This is still correct even in RtR

It’s also amusing to read about the TBW - Gavagai exchange from both perspectives: TBW is totally on board with the Gang of Four and Gav is already putting a target on his head for “being difficult.”

Never knew about the second threshold. Learnt the first afther thinking I had doomed an SGOTM by leaving our only city without a defender.

Sounds like there might be a shake-up in the alliance structure based on the discussions in GKC/thestick's thread. It's too bad the players aren't posting more of their diplo discussions, I want more Gav quotes

So, who was expecting that the diplo game would be the one where superdeath would get into a leading position ?
