Dreylin Blues 2000 is on (another) mission from Cod

[Dreylin]

I have learned my lesson; respectful silence from now on.

Tell you what, I'll give it back if you hit your opponents over the head with it instead

My eyes have been opened. Signaling fish for fish isn’t a peace offering, it’s a threat of mutual destruction.

A fishing tribute…

Alternate thread title: “Our Fish Means Death” and a sea shanty theme to mess with MJMD…

Wait, are you saying that wasn't the message I've been giving?

[Dreylin]

Well I said China wouldn’t get to me and it has; with 2 Myst civs gone doesn’t seem worth going for a 3rd. Will take a look at and think about a few other options, but will probably end up back at China in the end.

[Dreylin]

So I needed a refresher on buildings obsoleting; I know that means you can’t build any new ones, but I can’t remember the specifics of what gets cancelled on the already-built ones - specifically looking at Monuments and interaction with CHA; is the happiness bonus also lost?

I’m leaning more and more towards trying CHA, and looking through the other civs Ethiopia is looking to be an interesting option: Hunting / Mining start means that Agri -> AH gets the pre-req bonus (and I’m all about those), the UB’s culture bonus gets better in the late game, but lack of obsolescence is a big bonus here if I’m remembering right and all the stuff is lost with it.

I know I can check when I get back to Civ, but if I can get a lurker answer I should be able to make my pick this week instead of waiting.

I just did a small test, adding both a Monument and Obelisk to a city with worldbuilder. Both of them give happy at first (as expected), but when I add Astronomy to obsolete, it gets weird. The Monument only displays culture in the building list, while the Obelisk displays culture and happy. However, on mouseover they both show the happy face, and the city does get two extra happy.

So I guess it does give happy after obsoletion, ut just doesn't show up properly in the building list.

[Dreylin]

Thanks Tarkeel, I think that’s enough of an answer for me to pick.

Right now I’m at the point where China is the best pick for techs, but I’m not /super/ excited by the rest of it so I’ve looked at a couple of alternative civs (Ethiopia, Persia, & Russia all have “near-enough” techs and possibly more exciting U’s) and am happy that there are a few available. So with only 2 to be picked, I’m happy to let it play out and instead I’ll pick leader.

So I’m going to go with ORG / CHA Napoleon.
