RB PBEM #1 - Gandhi [spoilers]

[Ruff_Hi]

What happens to Monasteries after I get ScMthd? I know that I cannot build any more, but do the ones that I have lose their bonuses?

+10% beakers
+2h from AP
+gold from The Spiral Minaret

[Jabah]

Yes, you will lose all the bonus (but keep the culture afair)

[Square Leg]

That power graph is epic!

• Cities - the ones with '*' have Mining Inc
  • FF*: Settler -> The Pentagon [6]
    
  • LQ*: Factory [1]
    
  • DV: Bank [1], Cavalry [1]
    
  • BH: Factory [3]
    
  • BS: Conf Missionary [1]
    
  • AC: Cannon [1]
    
  • TN*: Bank [1], Infantry [3]
    
  • KS: Spy [8]
    
  • SL: Wealth
    
• Tech: Combustion [7], -5 at 70% science, 37g in the bank
  
• Opponent Tech Research
  • sooooo - finishes Astronomy, 502g, +68g @ 20% tech
    

Something is happening with Sooooo's gold. He was at +60 at 30% last turn. Now he is at +68 at 20%. Seems his expenses are on the increase.

The observant among you will notice that I have started The Pentagon. Now, before you start lecturing me about wasting hammers on future XP for future units instead of building units now, let me say that the units that I can currently build (Infantry, Cavalry, Cannons and MGuns) aren't going to break Sooooo. Future strong units will. Thus, I don't see the point in building excessive numbers of the current units that I can build.

[Ruff_Hi]

I need some city names. They need to have something to do with India, be two words long and have unique letters (see my current cities above).

A


B


C1 (North) & C2 (South)


D (pending approval from Dreylin)


E

[MWIN]

How about these...
Bagya Nagar (another name for Hyderebad. Bagya in Telugu translates to Wealth and Nagar translates to City)
Chennai Patnam (anoher name for Madras. Chennai: New name for Madras and Patnam in tamil translates to City)

[Jabah]

shouldn't you put the cities next to Dreylin on hill, considering that they will be on the front line in a possible futur

[Ruff_Hi]

Here is what I have ...

A - Deccan Plato
B - Moenjo Daro
C1 - Elephanta Caves
C2 - Bagya Nagar
D - scrubbed - apparently Dreylin's borders popped and that site isn't valid anymore
E - Narmada Basin

I have 1 settler and will start another in FF when the turn gets back to me. Need a few missionaries and some Execs and then those cities are off and running.

Dreylin sent me 200g to speed up finishing Combustion. I will need another 100g from him to get it over the line.
