[SPOILERS] ALWAYS PEACE? What will Lewwyn do?

[novice]

Not often you see 10k GNPs...

Why aren't your ss cities improved for max hammers if all the ss techs are done?

[Lewwyn]

Launch currently T221


Mostly I haven't maximized hammers in the cities because the last 10 turns I've been pretty lazy about worker micro. If I was really racing I would have gone round and workshopped all the towns and in fact I probably should do that in Sphinx. I do have workers moving towards sphinx as of last turn, I may be able to shave a turn off the Engine build time. All the other SS parts will be done 2 turns before it so if I do that'd be a win.

[Ellimist]

Well done.

[Lewwyn]

Well done.

Thanks.

Two turns, 212 and 213, but I'm going mix and match for this update. First we'll start with a shot of Sphinx where I am attempting to decrease the time for the part. Next turn I'll settle the GE in the city plus workshop over a village and I think I will be able to reduce the turn time by 1.



In worst case scenario this finishes in 6 turns and I launch in 7.

Next we have a look at Cyneheard's current tech:



He is missing 7 techs to be able to build all the spaceship parts.
Here are those 7 techs:



Fission, Medicine, either Computers or Lasers, Ecology, Fiber Optics, Genetics, Fusion.

So at minimum Cyne needs 7 turns to get all the techs. I'm really not sure how fast he'll build the parts, especially the Engines, but I suppose I'll find out. He's building faster apparently and told me on Gchat he was close. Dunno for sure if he'll achieve his goal of launching before my SS lands, but I'm interested to see him try. I'll be honest I haven't really optimized my cities with workers and I'm taking it easy. I've got a lot on my plate.

Hey all, haven't been updating pretty much any of my threads but I started to do a little housecleaning and thought I'd give you all some final shots of the game. I'm hoping we roll the turn to the end so I can get a shot of the Victory message, but here are two pictures I think you'll enjoy.

My Spaceship:



Woo its pretty. I'm happy I remembered to hit SS as it was taking off. T219 launch, I settled the GE and it shaved a turn off the Engine.

But the thing I'm maybe most happy about:



Hahaha, cultured that city I've been working on all game. If we play out the last 3 turns I may flip 1 or 2 of Nakor's cities and I have a shot at another of Cyne's cities.

Final post:



The Win screen.



Me looking out from my spaceship.



Top of the class.

For Cynheard:




Heh, Wonderful game. Got to the very end. I'm extremely happy it wasn't called in the middle at some point. Thank you to my opponents for playing it all the way out. Doesn't happen much in these PBEMs.

We doing a a postgame thread, or we good?

Congrats Lewwyn . Very well-played game. I don't think we really need a post-game thread.

[Nakor]

Good game, Lewwyn!
Last zillion turns were just hitting enter for me...

Learned a lot, again....
