[SPOILERS] Tatan, CFCJester and Nakor try their hand at Mansu of India...

Also, JF sorry for kicking you out of the game yesterday. I wasn't looking at it for too long anyway. Is there a way to know that someone's logged in before you log in yourself?

Who told you I got kicked out? That isn't what happened at all...I logged out. Pure coincidence you logged in after I exited. Although I am not sure, I don't think you can log in if someone else already is (unless it is another team). You can tell when someone logs in because a message displays (x is joining the game).

See conversation in the tech thread. I actually meant being notified whether one of you is currently logged in before I log in myself but if you say that shouldn't be possible that's OK. (You only get x is joining the game messages while you're logged in as far as I can tell...)

T89 demos...

Went ahead and did the micro although Dora hasn't been moved yet.

Moved Dora:



And an overview of our six cities for the lurkers:

And we have a new turn.
I moved Dora, but there's not much news to see, so another screenshot next turn.

Serdoa is at 6 cities as well. Space is still at 4, but he is building a huge army.
Another Great General was borne.

Jester, once you've done the micro, lets end turn and see how many turns we can do this weekend.

Did micro and ended turn. Sounds good to me.

Looks like there's a ton of land to settle... great prospects with the GLH... do we look juicier to Space than Serdoa?

That's a very good question...I just can't make heads or tails of why Space hasn't put any spy points on us lately (stuck on 23). It could be a fake-out ofc (so we think he's going after someone else) but then again how would he know that we haven't been building a horde of chariots when he doesn't have our graphs? Idk, not sure even GLH could save his economy if he were to invade. We are pretty far away.

He might have indeed met someone else and reassigned his EPs, although I don't understand either why he didn't bother to get visibility on our graphs even if he doesn't plan to invade. I think planning an attack without graph visibility this early in the game would be too risky. One might always be screwed by a new military tech or a new stronger unit coming in on the opponent's side. Later, with siege coming into play it might be a bit different.
I agree though. Space's economy doesn't look that convincing atm. If he was to attack us then Serdoa might come out as the lucky winner in the end. Still, settling fish / silk might annoy him so we have to be careful if we decide to go for that spot. Pig / fish looks delicious though and should be considered in the non too distant future. Time to turn our +1 TRs into +2s. As soon as Monarchy is in we should be able to use the whip more freely. I hate to see all that food wasted in FoF.

Moved Dora to reveal an even better site:



Jester, when you finish the turn, don't forget to change the build in CC to an Axe.

I think that Space won't go to war with us. He is going to war, but we're not a good target. We're to far away, it takes a zillion turns to get to us by Galley and he doesn't have enough intell.
It would feel good to get a few more axes in play, though, but we're working on that.
