RBP3 [SPOILERS] - Friendly Kittens (Ragnar of Maya)

[Maniac Marshall]

I hopped out of the game so you can log in. I've not moved any units yet. I've only set builds and whipped the theatre at Ornata. so far.

Im guessing we move the two workers into the jungle this turn, chop it the next two, then plantation the next two.

[RefSteel]

Please do suggest. I have not moved any workers yet

Give me a bit of time; I'll log into the game in a few minutes, but I may not have a plan I like tonight, depending on what I see. I'll post something tomorrow if I'm sure that'll leave us time to play the turn; otherwise, I'll throw something together ASAP, whether it's pretty or not.

Updated and extended HV spreadsheet:



I also replaced the one on page 90.

Awesome. You have no idea how happy I am that your hard work on this city did not go to waste over this bizzare code issue.

[Maniac Marshall]

The turn wont roll for some time now. If you post something by 10PM your time tomorrow (ie before I go to sleep) then all would be good.

[Maniac Marshall]

I'll check in later. Going to take a shower.

One other really important thing:

Regardless of what happens in the future with this game, I'm not sorry I played it, because I got to play it with you, and I've really enjoyed talking to/working with you this game a lot more than I've been frustrated by things that have happened.

On top of that, I've got to meet some pretty cool people on the other teams that I've had fun talking to as well, so, even if the game ended tomorrow when 54654 Curies invaded every last city, or, even just by mutual agreement of all teams that we just wanted to quit, I still wouldn't regret having played.

Just quoting this because I really thoroughly agree. It's been lots of fun to work with you on this thing. It was fun working with Cull early on too, and lately with Morgan (I keep dreading he's being quiet because I/we talk too much rather than for time-availability reasons) but you've been a huge part of maintaining my enjoyment of this game.

I haven't had as much of a chance to diplo as you have, but the opportunities I did have of chatting with Kyan, Krill, Darrell (I still regret having few or no chances to talk to rego on that team) Mukha, dsplaisted, and the others also contributed a lot to making this game worthwhile. The game has had its moments, and there've even been a lot of them.

Okay; I should have something by then. This is going to be a COMPLEX worker plan, involving a lot more workers than you might think, but I'd already done most of the work already to put together my lengthy suggestion-to-be before we found out about the latest hilarious code issue. I see we're due a Worker out of FS next turn as planned, and since the city isn't also growing, it should actually complete. (We're getting it to the EXACT hammer, as anticipated.)

You mentioned we'll get two more settlers over three turns from there a little later too. My guess right now is that you mean:

T142: Build Worker
T143: Build University, working NO mines (not even the gems).
T144: Grow to size 12; build a Worker.
T145: DOUBLE-WHIP Worker.
T146: Worker complete with massive overflow; build Worker.
T147: Worker complete with significant overflow; build University.

Is this correct?

[RefSteel]

Oh. Also: Noveria popped its borders this turn, as I neglected to mention that I anticipated. My best guess for now is that it will hit 100 culture (third ring) ~14 turns after we found Adventure Beach. That's why it would be fun to see AB hit 100 culture 13 turns after being founded. We could actually do it in 9 (maybe even 8) but that would be thoroughly irresponsible.

In related news, I see we're already building Theaters in PR and Temminck, which is a good plan. This raises a question: Do we want a theater in Kilrah at some point for the happy? If so, it should probably build one soon (so the build it's replacing is lower-tech). If not, we don't have to build one there, NOR in FS: Adventure Beach can and probably should have one in time to be the eighth for the Globe ... in spite of not getting founded until turn 147!

Is this correct?

Nearly Correct. University OR Thearer. IF we don't build theater here, we need to build one in Kilrah.

143 - Indeed, work only cottages (or all cottage plus the plains farm)
144 - Same as above, grows to size 12, build worker
145 - Double whip worker with
146 Worker completes with massive overflow into worker
147 worker completes to the exact hammer

At which point we either fishish theater -> Uni or resume Uni

On a related note. Cuirie at Kilrah or a cat with enough overflow to make a 2nd cat next turn?

EDIT: I should read above! University it is at FS. Not sure we need a theater at Kilrah. I'd have to look at the game. Whipping the HE city is not usually something you do much. If we need the happy, for just a few more hammers we could have a BC instead.

I'm going to sleep now. Also, as a reminder, I'm going to be out of town Thurs-Sun with spotty internet. I might need someone to play one turn during this time...
