[Spoilers] naufragar's fist full of pesos (Montezuma)

[Lord of the Civ]

Could a lurker log in and check that the worker is mining?

Sure.

[naufragar]

Thanks, again.

I've been stupidly busy, so I can't analyze this:



Whether it's an axe or not, my plan is fixed. BW->Found city for copper->Pray.

Here's an overview.

[Papa Bear]

As analyzed in your Civforum "shadow story", that increase is not steep enough to be an axe.

[naufragar]

I believe Ziankali's latest bump is Wheel, not an axe.



I've delayed founding my first city by a turn so I can see where Copper is. Perhaps a needless precaution. It does slow down what is already a slow start.

[naufragar]

Real turn report to come soon. First I had a question from my sandbox. I encountered something weird, and I don't know if it's coming from the game or the mod. Whenever I found a city, the city starts with "citizen automation" turned on. This means that if I found a city and then change my tech slider, the governor will reassign cities! Is this normal BTS behavior that I just never noticed?

Edit with illustration:
First, with full tech on:



Then, with 0% tech:

[Hollybombay]

That is normal behavior. Unless you reassign your cities manually every single turn/ take citizen automation off, the game will attempt to be the most "optimal " iirc

[naufragar]

Busy and haven't been planning. Found Aspi:


My cap is visible, I think. I ran out of plans when I needed to choose the capital's build. Decided on a worker, because those are good. But I really don't know what I'm doing. Annoyingly, I think inflation hits before I finish Wheel, so that's delayed by a turn. My poor second city is working the silver mine. I'm sure there was a better line in all of this, but whatcha gonna do?

I'm not used to Deity. I'm a million miles from Pottery (or good cottage tiles) and it's making me nervous.

[Miguelito]

I think you could have guessed capital copper before finishing BW by looking at the tile yield at Ziankali's, or am I missing something? That way the settler wouldn't have needed to wait. Sorry for not telling you before the fact, but it didn't feel kosher having read his thread as well.

[naufragar]

Can I see the extra hammer before finishing the tech? Now that you mention it, I think you're right.

I was 99% sure that there was copper at the capital, but I had 1% of worry that it would have been 1 South of where it actually is. That would have been in the capital if I hadn't moved. I will say that I correctly guessed which hill the copper would show up on, which saved me two turns. On the other hand, I will need to make an 2 roads when Ziankali only needs one.
