Epic48 - The Absent-Minded Professor - Info Thread

[Kodi]

We're Absent-Minded, what if we forget? What did I say?

[Sirian]

Don't worry. I'm sure one of your lab assistants will remind you to attend the science conference to share your findings with fellow researchers.

This looks like a game for me.

About the absent-minded professor and warfare; I suppose long wars just distract, but a few extra cities can be seen as increased research / labo possibilities.
Or is the plan to not have time, nor the mind to waste on wars in which territory is gained ?

As I take it, wars are started by other civs, and last till they contact you with a peace-offer. Except if it is "to obtain key natural resources"; then the proffessor can start a war.

Is my hypthesis correct ??

Not likely.

The professor can only be in one lab at a time, and he'll have a good one at his seat of government. Probably don't need to confiscate labs built by others. Who's got the time to sort that out? Besides, can the generals really be trusted to handle such a project? You know the old saying, "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself." That's the Professor's motto.

The generals might cause some kind of problem that DEMANDS the professor's personal attention, and that really wouldn't be good. (Ixnay on the Mongering-OrWay Ingthay. These Monarch AIs wouldn't put up all that much of a fight anyway. The Professor's true opponent lies in the laboratory.)

What do you do if a civ contacts offering a tech deal? can I take it, or is the default answer no?

[Griselda]

Hey, I know the answer to this one. Professor Sirian can stay in his lab.

When contacted by others, you need to get rid of them quickly, so you can get back to the lab. (You can accept deals that they offer, but only "as is", no changes.)

I finished the game. It went not exactly like what I expected as a relaxed game.

[Sareln]

Thanks Griselda

Hi,

I finished the game. It went not exactly like what I expected as a relaxed game.

...which is a Good Thing for a monarch game, right?


I finished the game, too. Unfortunately, it went nearly exactly like what I expected as a relaxed game...

You managed to relax while playing it, though, right?

Feel free to try it again on Deity if you like. After the event closes next month, I can send you the scenario file.
