RPB3 SPOILERS Bismarck of India (regoarrarr, darrelljs, sooooo, sunrise089)

[sunrise089]

Quick talk with Krill, new time is GMT 2000, which is 3 p.m. EST. I'm 50/50 on making that.

Darrell

I'm probable for that time.

Okay - long chat with Krill / Egypt and DIM of HRE.

I won't post the whole chat in here because all 4 of us were in there (for most of the time) and I figure one of the other civs will post it.

Basically Krill is planning on Oracling Alphabet on T62, and wants to set up an 8-9 civ tech trading alliance.

I think so far it is:

In: HRE, Egypt, India
Probably: Aztec, Portugal, Carthage, Ottomans
Out: Sumeria, France, Rome?

Also, Krill approached me and wanted to buy our Great Prophet (which shoudl appear on T79). I asked him what for, and he said the shrine, and I said no I meant in exchange FOR what, and he offered up a Great Scientist.

I mentioned he'd be popping a prophet out of the Oracle and he said he still wanted to buy ours, which might indicate that he is going for a 2nd religion?

He said he probably wouldn't have it for his 1st GP but he is Phi.

I said I'd post it in here for discussion. Personally, depending on timing, it seems that a GSci is much more useful for us than a Prophet, right?

Also, my attempted map of folks' locations has been updated

Partially played our turn but wasn't exactly sure what we were doing with our Workers? They need to move before we end turn.

If we got a Great Prophet, we'd settle it for 2H and 5G, which ain't to be laughed at early in the game. The Scientist we'd use for an Academy, it would definitely benefit us more. There is the denial cost of Krill to consider.

Reading through old posts, I put them on the same tile as the Settler and Warrior. I guess the plan is to build a Mine there, but what is the chop going into? TBH, I'd chop a Settler out the door, followed by another Worker.

Darrell

[regoarrarr]

One was supposed to go to that tile, the other was supposed to continue mining the tile he was on (the one that says 1t mine). Assuming sunrise also mined with them last turn, that would have completed the mine.

As a rule, when possible, we want to avoid putting more than 1 fast worker on a forested hill, since it's the only thing that prevents them from doing a task that turn

Quick note to HRE

Greetings HRE!

We have reached 44EP against you and have swapped our EP elsewhere

From Krill to HRE and u

They don't have wheel, currently researching AH, due in 4, wanted to do maths (tentatively). Then Wheel in 8 at break even, if they go that way

hRE

I'm thinking Ottomans will want to do maths, for their UB.
I've spoken to WarriorKnight of Ottomans. He will discuss the tech alliance with his team members and will get back to us asap
