[SPOILERS] Pindicator plays PBEM62 (not to be confused with Twitch Plays Civ)

[pindicator]

Hunter is still better than playing against miracle rogue...

[spacetyrantxenu]

Is this hunter deck stuff about hearthstone?

I'm glad your scout had the intestinal fortitude to carry on. Losing it this early would have made for really boring turns until decanting your worker.

Turn 005

I'm starting to see the benefit of picking Catherine...



Edit: That appears to be Commodore, btw

[Gaspar]

Yeah, cramped, Commodore next door... where's the exit again?

Dedlurker brigate -- Move out!

[pindicator]

Should we make contact? Note that this won't affect our tech rate. We ate going to finish Mining on the nose in 2 turns so we won't lose any beakers to Known civ rounding

[pindicator]

Turn 006

Nah, we'll make contact soon enough. Besides, maybe he ignores us for 40 turns and we can Thoth him. (Just need impis and him to have metal in an awful location.)



First to 2 techs!

Where is that gif from? Seems familiar but I can't remember exactly.

Phase 1: Realize Commodore is a neighbor. Initiate dedlurker ejection sequence.


Phase 2: Set coordinates, prepare secondary boost phase to escape gravitational pull of the host thread.


Phase 3: Rotate escape pod, initiate full thrust burn, destination: Lurker thread.


Phase 4: Try not to get flamed during flight from the host thread.


Phase 5: Reacclimate to a new hostile environment. Welcome back to the Lurker thread. [NO PLAYERS]


All the gifs came from here.

I'd say better to not make contact. While it is extremely likely that won't save you there is at least a minimal possibility that he'll see someone else first and settle towards them.

For the record, as a seasoned Commodore opponent/observer I can 1000% guarantee he's talked himself into PRO being valuable to get some hard to remove archers on a pink dot towards someone. That the area between us has a valuable early game lux/commerce source only makes it more likely that he heads in that direction. Which means I guess that there is a decision - cede the area to him and settle towards another neighbor (presumably there is valuable terrain between all the civs), try and get a quick settler and a couple warriors towards that direction, intend to remove it by force.

I hate these supercramped setups, I want at least 50t before I have to be super annoyed at any opponent.
