[spoilers] Commodore: Worse than Toku, it's Giggles of Siam!

[Thoth]

So I logged into game to see if T&A had been built yet....

and was greeted with:

After 5 minutes worth of Alt-Tabbing out of game to get Firefox up, and some chatting with Commodore.....

We now have another city and 10t worth of peace with the Zulu.

Good Luck guys!.

(and I still have no idea if T&A has been built yet)

[Thoth]

Logged back in again.

T&A is still up for grabs.

Once Poly is in we could make a half hearted attempt at it in the capital. If we get it: +2 commerce, +1 h and +1 gold are kind of meh. But +2 GM and +3 GP GPPs per turn could prove useful. GP for a maybe shrine if we somehow manage to bag Philo, or a Gage. Nice either way. GM trade mission cash can fund a lot of tech or upgrades (assuming the GM doesn't get Krilled along the way )

If we don't get it: 2:1 hammer to gold conversion is always nice. Especially at this point in the game, when we're looking to grab key econ techs asap.


I swapped Hawk Ridge (the island city) over to Wealth rather than a Library. Not so much as I think we need the Wealth this turn as I think we need a Market before Lib here. Building Wealth for a turn preserves the overflow pending decsion.

My thinking: We currently have a free happy cap of 8 (once the whip anger subsides). At size 8 working Horses, Hamlet, Fish and 5 lighthoused coast we produce 20 commerce.

Market gives +2 happy = 4 commerce from +2 worked Coast tiles at size 10. = 25% boost to commerce yeild at any slider setting. +25% gold when banking.

Lib gives +25% (4 b) at 100 tech.

We break even at ~30%.

Market is pricier, but is worth more than the lib atm.

(btw: This would make an excellent Moai city once we can afford the stone city. )




In the meantime, nothing wrong with gold in the bank right effing now.

T&A is still up for grabs.

Grabbing T&A almost always causes a war declaration in a no-talking environment.

I still haven't learned all the abbreviations yet. Most I can figure out based on the context ... but what's T&A

Temple of Artemis?

Temple of Artemis?

T&A is still up for grabs.

Grabbing T&A almost always causes a war declaration in a no-talking environment.

Given that we've just accepted a city named "In and Out" as part of a peace treaty......

I think I'll just leave that well enough alone tyvm.

[Ceiliazul]

ToA = Temple of Artemis. T & A? That's a quest from another game.

[Cornflakes]

Temple of Artemis?

That's what I thought at first because of Poly tech and ...

If we get it: +2 commerce, +1 h and +1 gold are kind of meh. But +2 GM and +3 GP GPPs per turn could prove useful.

But then wouldn't ToA be the proper abbreviation? Plus why would Temple of Artemis generally lead someone to DOW?
