[SPOILERS] Louis of Aztecs - One of those industrious

[plako]

I haven't counted lately. Above 40. I'll count them, when logging in next time.

[plako]

City counts:
Plako 45 (46 in 2T)
Serdoa 28
Commodore 36 (Just captured Dominoes from Pindicooter)
Lewger 22
Slowcheetach 23
Pindicooter 12 (Just lost Dominoes)
Xenu 9

edit. Serdoa settled 1 this turn so updated the list.

City counts:
Plako 45 (46 in 2T)

Is that a settled city or do you have secret plans you haven't told yet?

[plako]

Settled. I don't have significant military edge against the most potential targets. I'm better of keeping open borders and peace with everyone willing at this point.

[plako]

Some big fights between Commodore and Pindicooter. Looking a lot like Commodore is drowning in this war. Pindicooter's power is quite respectable considering that they're quite a bit smaller than Commodore.

Against all odds I got Scientist. I'll bulb almost certainly (still thinking about it). Even if I could beat Serdoa without the bulb, it seems like the best use now. Other alternative would be to spare it for 4-man Golden age, but that will take a long time to reach.

So I bulbed and eased up a lot concerning wealth builds. In the end things look like this:

[plako]

Slowcheetach declared against Commodore and captured couple of island holdings. Cheetach doesn't seem to mind poking the bear. Very good news.

Another thing is that we'll have a coin flip for Physics Scientist. Serdoa has invested pretty much everything to land it this turn. Almost certainly also using the Scientist for bulbing it. I wonder if it is a real coinflip or is there some "turn" order thing deciding the winner?

Commodore adopted Mercantilism that was a little hit to my economy. Had to think aout investing units to take few island cities from Commodore too.

It depends on player order which is randomly determined for each turn. therefore it will appear as a 50/50 random roll from the player perspective.


Also, it appears to me that YOU are the bear. .. Slow is poking the badger :-D

[plako]

Lost the coin flip. This delays significantly my next Golden Age. Well At least I've Uranium and can build Airships.

I can't really understand - what was the point of burning a scientist on a bulb with the sole purpose to get another scientist? I mean, you were basically exchanging a scientist for... a scientist.
