[SPOILERS]Brian Shanahan comes late to the party.

Oh and kjn I was wondering if you could cover me on Saturday evenings if saves come in then. I'm usually too wrecked to even be on the interwebs.

Pottery in, on to writing.

Thoughts here were that I've half price libraries, and am using the min/max method of sciencing, so the buildings would be good to get in commerce cities (pretty much every one at the moment). It also allows me access to the whole of the top of the tree, though I'll get some military tech in first.

Stand-Idle got it's granary, will be whipped in next turn, overflow to settler, before doubling back on the barracks for a few turns for regrowth, and then finish the settler (probably with a whip).

Macánta finishes the barracks, probably through a very late whip, and then full on army production.

Googy finishes the warrior naturally, goes onto a granary and whips into workers from four pop. It'll put out army any time it needs regrowth (possibly just for a few turns and queued).

Bog grows up and gets the Granary before I decide what to do with it, mainly because I'm not too sure what I can use it for at the moment. It will be shield heavy, so probably unit producer no.2.

Just including the treasury to show my expenses. They're expensive.

I'm just going to do a demographics screen dump for the last three turns, because for all my thinking and looking over things not much happened.

Except I hooked up my copper this turn, and whipped in a spearman in Googy.

Sorry for being AWOL for a while - I've been busy with other stuff and just now realised how much I've burned out on regular Civ.

And Saturdays are pretty much family time for me right now. I might be able to do it sometime, but not regularly.

Well this thread ended abruptly. Actually I don't think I've even seen you post in the tech thread in the last few days. There isn't a whole lot to comment on because your posts stopped when the game started to pick up, so most of the stuff here is C&D or Micro stuff.

Did you do a lot of Sacrificial Altar whipping from your capital? It seemed that way to me as I noticed your capital was pretty frequently lower than the rest on population early on.

[Brian Shanahan]

yeah sorry for the lack of updating. Everything has gotten hectic the last month, with college, GAA training &c. and the reporting on the game fell by the wayside.

Yeah I did a lot of whipping in the cap. It has tailed off recently as I've sligthly over-expanded, but to compensate I've recently discovered CoL and can Sac Altar whip the other cities.

I'm teching via specialists at the moment trying to grow my cottages into a decent rate on the slider, and pretty much trying to turtle up until I am financially secure enough to afford an offensive army.

I recently lost a southern city, slowing my development in Lewwyn's direction. I have a replacement settler, but will want at least another unit before founding, so that will wait.

I really need to focus on where I'm going though with this one, or I'll just be the whipping boy of this game.

In other news the game seems to be very stop-start, with people often holding the save a good long time.

And after reading the tech thread guess this should all be in the past tense. Well that's what I get for not paying attention.
