Oxy changes his naming scheme to Community... and inexplicably doesn't get cancelled

Better be quick then... only half an hour left on the clock.

Turn 109

Tech choice came up, not sure what you're currently aiming for. Selected COL -> CS as a placeholder, and set research to 0% so you can change it if you wish.

Moved Workers to chop jungle/forest adjacent to city tiles, and build cottages.

Northern empire:

Southern empire:

BaII, can you cover turns from tomorrow, July 30th to next Sunday, August 10th? This will be my last vacation for a while.

[BaII]

yeah I can do that.

[BaII]

So cat's are coming up, when do you want to establish the pink dot, and when do you want me to turn on tech and which techs do you want me to get?

[Oxyphenbutazone]

Can take back over now, thanks BaII

T143 Overview:
Wow, this is weird--seeing something that's completely removed from my corner of the world for the first time in a while. And we're doing well too! Let's see our vast empire for the first time:




That's it? Only 10 cities? Heck, by sheer numbers I think that's fewer than I had at my peak
Of course, there's a lot more population in each of these cities, and the research is sustainable (60% is break-even, it gets a ton of beakers, and there's a lot of development left in these cities--notably we have barely any courthouses at this point), so we're doing a lot better. Let's check our position in the world, by looking at the info screens:


Considering all the deaths, along with the virtual deaths (civs like old me, Whosit, and Azza--and you can tell their bad positions from the scoreboard, not even using prior knowledge), that puts the GNP and production about average. Our population and military are some of our bigger boons, but we have to start leveraging them soon.


Hooray, a power collision between us, GermanJoey and xenu! I'm going to have to fight a war soon where I'm at power-equality with my opponent, all while having to keep my backside covered from the person I'm not declaring on--oh joy!




Wait, are we actually leading in GNP in that graph? I don't know if we had research on the last turn the graph recorded, but it doesn't look like it. At least the production graph is easier to read--though that unfortunately tells us that's where we're falling behind. One other thing is that OxyBaII have been focusing on depth with their espionage (notice we have research visibility on xenu and plako), but that comes at the expense of breadth. Granted, we don't have many relevant neighbors (Joey to the north, xenu to the SW, HAK to the east, and wetbandit across the southern river), but I like having all the data. In fact, the only real changes I made were espionage related--I moved all the points to HAK (since we don't even have his graphs yet) and fired a spy in one of the cities for a scientist.

That feels like enough for my first post as a member of OxyBaII--next post is coming shortly, and that will start covering what BaII's plans were, and what my plans should be.
