RBP7 [SPOILERS] - The Chronicles of Nyania

[nabaxo]

Nah, save Over 9000 for our future Moai-city.

[Lord Parkin]

Was thinking of using Your Johnson for the Moai city (or another coastal city). Either way, if not Over 9000... any other suggestions? Shall we go with Hide Yo Kids or Hide Yo Wife? How about Numa Numa or Lolcats or Rickroll? Any other ideas are welcome too.

I've always been partial to Powerthirst.

[Lord Parkin]

Ah yeah, that's certainly a classic. Although I'm more familiar with the alternative, somewhat explicit parody version.

Or something to do with Ordinary Swedish Mealtime. Swedish Mealtime perhaps? There are pigs...

[Lord Parkin]

Hmm, apparently Azza has Iron... otherwise he wouldn't have a 1f/2h plains that he can mine.



Oh well, no big deal. We have a city that will shortly be able to pump out a 5 XP unit every turn for as long as we want, so we'll still be able to finish him off... it just might take a little longer.

I've had another thought about the new city location. Instead of going 1S of the Pigs, what about 1S-1SE? That way seems to get the best of both worlds - sharing 1 Gold with Double Rainbow, and 2 flood plains with Pwnage. It also gets two more forests for chopping, and keeps the fresh water from the oasis. Only slight downside is it'll take ~10 turns for the borders to expand to the Pigs. But I definitely think it's a better long-term plant than 1S of the Pigs. Thoughts?

Had no idea what that was, so looked it up. That's... awesome.

Limited to 15 characters in the city name though, and Swedish Mealtime would be 16. Hmm...

Another workplace favorite... (moderately explicit):

Never finish

[nabaxo]

"SwedishMealtime" however would be 15 chars. :P

And can we get a more overview picture of the site instead of that zoomed in one?

Good stuff...

True... though my stickler side insists it's bad form to deliberately contract spaces like that.

Might not get a chance until next turn. You can see all the BFC tiles for both potential cities in that screenshot above though.

Basically 1S of the Pigs it's:
- Great tiles: 1 grassland Pig, 2 desert-hill Gold, 3 flood plains, 1 oasis
- Okay tiles: 2 plains-forest, 1 grassland, 2 plains
- Useless tiles: 3 peaks, 5 desert

On the "New City" sign spot:
- Great tiles: 1 grassland Pig, 1 desert-hill Gold, 5 flood plains, 1 oasis
- Okay tiles: 4 plains-forest, 2 plains, 1 plains-river, 1 desert-hill-river
- Useless tiles: 1 peak, 3 desert

On the whole the "New City" spot is considerably better in the mid-long term, with more good tiles available and fewer dead tiles taking up space. Really the only downside of the spot is the slight delay to hook up the Pigs while waiting for the border expansion, but after the first ~10 turns that's no problem.
