Gillette Turn Discussion

[Cheater Hater]

That's because you don't get a popup--you just get "You have discovered blah" in the log, but Nimoy does say that--I've never heard that before either--maybe you get it if you minimize popups or something?

Okay, I'll make a note to switch a galley to a trireme soon--there's one in Gladius with no hammers set to complete mainly on overflow, how about that one?

That seems fine with putting them near Occam (especially since Occam grew into unhappy this turn)--I was shuffling a couple near the M3 border to keep up appearances (mainly since Trolls had a scout around Pigpen last turn), but that was only a turn :/

Thanks for giving me some slack--hopefully I won't need that much time with the turns (and if I do, it probably will be because I'm busy with other things :/)

I just checked the game after Trolls played--they Liberalism-ed Nationhood obviously--however, their next research is currently Construction and not Gunpowder--doesn't mean much, but it gives us hope (we'd prefer facing cats than muskets, right, especially since they can only draft axes at this point). No change into Nationhood, but I'd assume they wouldn't do that until the end of the GA, and they probably couldn't do it at EoT regardless.

Nice one on the Trireme.

I think there are enough Chariots floating around to make sure no cities grow unhappy until we actually get to the war.

Construction is good news, but it'll only take one turn won't it?

[Cheater Hater]

One turn at full tech rate maybe, but they're out of gold--it said Construction would take five turns, but I have no idea at what tech rate that is (maybe 0% with a million scientists?)

[Old Harry]

What do the tech and resource trading screens say about how much money they've got saved/are currently saving?

[Cheater Hater]

I know the tech screen said they had 8 gold (aka basically empty)--I'll check the resource screen when I play the save in the morning

Updates from last turn:
Plako's golden age began in 200 AD--it's 425 AD now, but I don't have the "years per turn" memorized, so I'd need to look that up.
Trolls have 8 gold in reserve, and are producing 177 gold per turn--that means they're likely at 0% right now, and are just getting a ton of science from specialists.
I moved towards their island city, though I didn't see their actual city on the island yet :/

Onto this turn--nothing special, except for this scary thing:
   
I assume they aren't doing much, but since Machete is currently empty, I moved the work boat into the city, as well as dropped off a couple nearby Berserkers, just in case

Nothing spectacular at EOT--finish Feudalism as expected, onto Guilds--We're finishing Guilds in two turns at break-even, but could finish it in one turn if we moved to 100%--is it worth asking for a 100 gold loan from TEAM or M3?

[Old Harry]

I'm fairly sure the galley is empty, but if you can get a zerk or two in there I wouldn't complain...

I don't think M3 can give us money while we're at war, but I'll email Tas asking for a 2 turn loan - 100 gold for 100 back in aid of the Troll war effort. Do TEAM have enough money right now to do that?

[Cheater Hater]

I believe TEAM has enough gold to do so--I think all the teams were above 100 gold--make sure to send the email somewhere Sian could see it too (seeing as how our war ally missed the turn last time )

[YossarianLives]

I think it's 25 years per turn, so nine since their GA started.

[Cheater Hater]

Quick update after Trolls played--they still appear to be a 0%--Construction ETA is 3 turns, and they're still in Bureaucracy
