[NO PLAYERS] Squaring the Circle of Sevens (For Nine) - Map and Lurker Thread

For one thing, it seems like he couldn’t have known about the stables quest, which is going to be a bitter pill when it resolves.

If it resolves, perhaps? Miguelito is threatening to raze Comm's city. I can't tell if Commodore can defend it in time. Losing the city and thus the stables quest would be heartbreaking for us lurkers.  

Edit: But speaking of heartbreak, poor Fintourist.

I love how Comm and Miguiellito were both planning to spam Axes to trick the other side into buliding Axes, while secretly preparing for a mounted strike.

Is Fintourist's position that bad? The RNG taketh away, but he still has most of Elkad's empire.

[El Grillo]

FT may have gained some cities, but is probably suffering some war weariness after all those unlucky losses. If Elkad refuses to sign peace and just whips defenders, it’s still a long time until catapults. Faced with that unpleasant prospect when success had seemed beyond a doubt, his momentum dashed and his upcoming plans invalid, I wouldn’t be surprised if the civ stagnates for a bit.

[TBW]

If I lost seven units attacking one spear including a 98.2% chance attack I'd probably go AI immediately.

[thestick]

Whoops, missed that part. My bad.

Wow, it looks like Cornflakes is planning to settle 3N of Familiar. I`m not sure if Fintourist will approve of that.. Maybe the awful combat luck of Fintourist will come back to haunt him here as claiming the jungle area is very important. I think that Conflakes can handle the extra economic burden of another city quite well as he`s about to complete the Great Lighthouse (and he`s also limping towards Currency).

So for those wondering what this was in Ruff's thread. It's not a bug. It's the fact that Commodore took a city from India, which contained the Oracle. Because Ruff does not have contact to Commodore, this wonder now is owned by Unknown.

I can assure you this is not a bug. You will find the solution to this riddle in the lurker thread later as right now it's spoiler territory for you, but maybe you will figure it out on your own.

Hmmm ... maybe comments like that shouldn't be posted ... as now the answer is obvious. Someone took the Oracle city away from India.

Sorry to all players and lurkers for revealing some information. I should have been more cautious.

Well, it was on the boundary, but it told Ruff nothing he couldn't have worked out by thinking and simming. The rule is as strict as it is for simplicity and to be safe, but no actual harm done here.

[TBW]

Anyone could have worked out what happened there with PBspy + information that's available in-game, I don't think it's a big deal.
