[SPOILERS] Lewger goes for the Bigwyn

[novice]

Why not work corn and plains in Odyssey to complete the temple and grow?

umm,

good call, I switched it. I was able to do plains + oasis to squeeze out some commerce

[Lewwyn]

Just wanted to quickly say that I'm still here, been letting Bigger play the turns while being busy. After today I should be less busy. I think its the final family reunion.

Turn 119:

first things first:


commdore captured a barb city and now has 12 cities .

Jews spread to azza in A7x (Beowulf). figured that would happen eventually. Maybe he'll revolt .
Annoyed at the extra culture output, but at least we got an extra gold from our shrine. I'm hoping it will spread further - like to Brick or scooter.

You can also see from this pic that everything is on schedule to found King Arthur turn 121.

took some damage on the 2nd warrior . not too much, after I promoted him to C1 he's at 4.4. Still have 99.6%, but I think we should heal for a turn, just to take the city the same time we found king arthur. (both for confusion, and to make sure the extra maintenence doesnt slow us down a turn on currency).

theodyssey at size 5:

we lose a whip unhappy in 5 turns, so we'll be at size 6 before too long. we'll need a lighthouse in here eventually to work the juicy lake tiles. cottages and oasis will work for now though.

the iliad:

next turn we lose a whip unhappy and can start working the plains cottage. cottage on the spices complete in 2, we'll have to switch off another cottage until we get some more happy. the plains cottage will allow us to actually finish this lighthouse, woohoo.

I think we'll have to whip a market in here at some point, though.

gilgamesh:

9 overflow into the spear, then we complete the temple and grow to size 9.

maths:

we can switch back to the farm and still 1 turn the axe, but we need to stay on max mines to one turn the 2nd axe, so i left it.

demos:

ok, the jump to 213 is scary. 2 turns ago we were #1 with 142. I'm pretty sure Serdoa is #2 - we have been neck and neck with him for several turns. so I'm guessing the #1 is probably commodore researching a tech that a lot of his contacts have already - maybe archery??

I did take a picture of power chart, but it didn't stick. we still have a healthy lead on azza. If I'm reading the event log correctly, we still have 2 more turns of peace treaty w/ azza - so it will end the same turn we found King Arthur. lucky we'll have a CG3 archer in there .

this is good timing. Its hard for me to play during the week. I can grab it when I get home from work if we are the only team holding it up, but I'd rather not worry about it. will you be able to play during the weekdays?


Also, I was hoping one of our ded-lurkers could step up to do reports during the week, since Lewwyn can't take pictures on pitboss. Just make sure to do it after Lewwyn plays the turn.

oh I forgot to mention in my report - the galley is back on the borders of the aeneid. I was thinking maybe we should ferry an archer out of the aeneid for the barb city, so the axe can go south to popol or explore or whatever. I started an archer in theodyssey to replace it. Lewwyn, I didn't move the archer out yet so you can make that call.

re: big GNP jump.

maybe someone to writing - since that would have more possible pre-reqs.

yeah, I guess.. but its really late to be starting on writing, especially someone that could produce that high of a GPA. thats why I was thinking archery, since that is often put off for quite awhile.

Maybe priesthood, or monotheism?

Afraid I'm already using all my spare time reporting on the other two games I'm involved in... Waterbat?

azza finished turn, tempted to just log in and play but I'll never get any sleep at this job if I don't let Lewwyn take over most of the turns .

- make sure the worker 2N of new city moves onto new city forest this turn. It completely wastes a worker turn but its the only way we can found on 121. move settler to the spot that worker was on, then have workers chop first, move in and settle 121. we'll have a CG 3 archer, shock axe, and formation spear (or whatever you promote the spear to) so we should be fine behind city walls for a bit - just keep an eye on the power graph,

- unless someone has a better idea quickly, I'd go with "Song of Roland" for the barb city and "King arthur" for the sheep/horses city.

i'll log in to take pictures when I can, if you've played a turn already. Probably wednesday. maybe waterbat can grab some tomorrow?

Or Molach even, if you have the rbmod.
In the mean time at least post if anything interesting happens, please .

Just to make sure I don't get to name a third city in a row, while still showing my powers of awesome, I'll nominate the Ballad of Reading Gaol.
