[Lurkers][no players] Gods & Kings? More like Clods & Dings

[T-hawk]

Kurumi, you were over the line on spoilers by saying that the city is a target for Jowy's neighbors. That tells Jowy that they're considering attacking it (Serdoa was), which he should not know. This was not obvious and not appropriate to tell an active player in the game.

[Rowain]

The Azza-Pindi fight will be close. Pindis chance is that Azza has currently only one unit that can take the city (the spear).


@Kurumi Better to be silent than to say too much. There was once a game where a lurker asked "when will you finish that project" which gave the player the hint that he was in a race and made him speed it up.

Okay... I feel like people are just reading too far into this like this is some kind of Mafia game... Wont do bad things again, promise.

I'm not trying to pile on, but I think that leads to a good rule of thumb. If you're a global lurker you're at the same spot in (relative) knowledge as the wolves in a werewolf game, so you need to act accordingly.

[MJW (ya that one)]

Random thoughts:

That ToA build by azza is . He could have built at least two more units with that. A 33% increase of force!

If pindi focuses as doing as much damage to the spear as possible the city will hold.

There's a trick azza might use. If a ranged unit attacks it does not have to promote. So he can save to useful insta-heal promos.

I'd just like to state that the Civ 5 map generator is shit

I really don't have strong thoughts on the map generator that Civ5 uses but this comment is funny for other reason. The person who made the map generator was Sirian (I should point out that he had complete control over the map generator). So pindicator just insulted him without even knowing it and I find that amusing.

I think t-hawk can say weather Civ5's map generator is shit or not. I think is more than good enough for people who cannot beat EMP which is more than 90% of the player base. So I would count it good or at least passable.

(Some people would say that insulting something that someone makes is not insulting the person. To them I at them. Because Sirian had complete control over making Civ5's map generator I cannot see how it is not his fault if the map generator is bad. If it is his fault there is a reason why he is a bad map generator maker. For example not working hard enough, not being smart enough or not asking for help when needed.)

FWIW, I mostly like the Civ V map generator. But, I really don't like the terrain and improvement options.

Edit: Pindicator did get a terrible start. But it's kind of interesting (and, in the ways that it isn't, it's an outlier). I don't count unfairness against the map generator.

Ah, that problem may not be Sirian's fault.

What do think about Dave's start then, Seven?

If I were pindi I would:

1. Move the worker to were the war chariot is now standing

2. Move the war chariot into the city and double-fire on the exposed composite bowman

3. Move the scout up to the left

4. Move the spear up to the left and attack the composite bowman

What would you guys do?

Blame the mapmaker.
