Intersite Game - Turn Discussion Thread

Great idea! If Sunrise or Sullla can't help you with the screen shots, I certainly can - I'm probably the most frequent logger into the game and screen shot taker right now.

I'll post those shots if/when I play, but kjn can certainly grab them too if he wants.

[Sullla]

We Play Civ is still sitting on the turn, so it looks like there's no need to worry, sunrise. I'll be back in plenty of time to cover the next turn tomorrow.

Turn 10 - 3600 BC

I sat there thinking about whether to move S or SW with our warrior for a couple of minutes. I was perfectly willing to leave one tile fogged if it meant additional safety for our warrior. However, moving S instead of SW (and leaving one tile fogged) meant 3 potential tiles on which a barb animal could be sitting, as opposed to 4 potential tiles. Only the slimmest of extra margins of safety - not enough to be worthwhile, in my opinion. I moved SW to get all the tiles.

None of this ended up mattering though:



That lion would have been sitting there regardless of where we moved. Uh, I guess I feel better? Based on what I read in the XML, we do not get a free win versus a barb animal here on Emperor, and the lion has 90% chance to attack us with a 10% strength penalty. Our odds of surviving should be roughly 2/3. Not great. All we can do now is cross our fingers for next turn. This is the one part of Civ4 combat which is kind of silly. If we win (due to dumb luck), we get XP and continue exploring. If we lose due to same dumb luck, we are set far behind. Just need the dice to fall on our side here.

Inside Adventure One:



This should be correct. Worker moved to corn and began farming. Demographics for completeness:



FYI, I hate playing with a million signs everywhere. I'm deleting them all next turn unless someone can make a convincing case to keep individual signs. We don't really need 25 signs about tile bleeding.

[kjn]

Feel free to remove the signs. We should remove the work FPH sign and replace it with one on the deer, too.

[antisocialmunky]

Our horses will invariable on the one fogged tile that we weren't able to get by going SW.

If you're going to remove the signs anyway, could someone (kjn?) do a me a favour & grab a screenshot this turn without signs & zoomed out so we can see all the land we've unfogged? (Or with signs but still zoomed out if we're not removing them...) Ideally zoomed out far enough that there's a little black around it so I can crop the interface out easily. Thanks

[kjn]

Here you are! There are four pictures in the zip file: all with Alt-I (removes all interface elements), and with or without Ctrl-B (bare map), and with and without resource pointers for both types.

ETA: Link removed.

Thanks kjn, that's exactly what I needed
