[SPOILERS] Team Unpronounceable Unicode Symbol: True Grit

The capital will need more farms forever.  Use those spare worker turns on pre-farming some tile(s) adjacent to the cow...

At size 2, working corn/cow, your food count is +6.  That's exactly one Sulla Minimum, but not a good total for a capital.  You need more food for whips in particular, where 1f becomes ~2h after granary.  Even if you don't want to whip much, you need farms for working those riverside grass hills and for growing onto cottages. 

And really, "forever" just meant the next ~40 turns.  By then you'll specialize your capital as a cottage haven or a production powerhouse with watermills.  After that, any farms will get paved over as needed. 

Roads and special tiles are more important, but as workers get spare turns (or travel 3 tiles down a road toward far away cities) it's something that's worth doing.

I haven't been following along, but I just caught up on your thread and saw this ...

For global lurkers: (or Ceil if he knows the answer) How do I edit out an AI's founding of a religion in WB so I can found it myself for sandbox purposes?

I'm no sandboxing expert, but I was poking around in WB for my PB9 sandbox and noticed that in "Edit City" mode there is an option to choose religions present in a city. That same section (I think if you scroll down) also has Holy Cities. You can delete the holy city from the AI and give it to yourself in the correct city once you research the relevant tech. You may also have to adjust the culture to match ... I can't remember if you're supposed to get culture on the turn you found a religion or not.

Where did our noble emperor go? When Azza is above you in the thread list, it's time for an update!

Hope all is well with you and yours.

You go to Civ with the BFC you have.

I've fallen behind on my lurking duties, but this deserves a QotM nomination!

Hey Sisu... where'd you go?

I see on civstats that you're still playing the turns, have you decided that reporting takes too much time? (Which is a completely rational decision, by the way.)

Careful playing double turns like that. I know it's way convenient, especially when you're busy, but it's not a good habit. It's only really a problem during and immediately before a war... but you don't always know when someone is lining up for a war.

Yeah, there are times where if I think my neighbor is even acting hostile towards me (not necessarily a DOW incoming, but settler race, etc) then I don't double turns just in case it causes an issue.

logged in-game, looks like a budding empire. Let me know if you want feedback. :-)

But what is that purple stain to the South??!

[Ceiliazul]

Hey Sisu, have you any interest in keeping a ded lurker? It's more 'dead' at this point, and I keep hearing some of the other greens are worth checking out.

I posted a note in game to ask Sisu if he minded me posting pics. He's doing pretty well in game, so hopefully this helps the lurkdom. Offered without analysis.



















Well, just a tiny bit of analysis in the last few image names...
