PB71: Lurkers dwell in blissful ignorance

[Tarkeel]

Yeah, Thoth is likely to get Yuri's lands, and Krill will get SD if he wants to.

[scooter]

Hah just kidding, Thoth is building infrastructure instead.

[Mjmd]

Krill at start of game: you'll get brief updates and I'll play I guess

Krill when he realizes his start is great and is winning: here is a book on the game

[Qgqqqqq]

Do HA ignore first strikes? Or is that just FFH2.

[El Grillo]

HAs are indeed immune to first strikes, while Keshiks aren't but have 1 first strike of their own.

[Qgqqqqq]

Oh really? That's very strange.

[mackoti]

Oh really? That's very strange.

Yeah, because of that  Keshicks are beter against spears the standard HA

[Qgqqqqq]

Oh I meant the not ignoring first strikes. Feels like it would often make Keshiks worse.

Superdeath's core has 8 flat grasslands without resources, and none of them are improved. He has another 10 that could be easily claimed, and one of those even has a cow. There's not a single cottage anywhere, and the capital is the only city with a granary; the other two core cities have 35+ turns of whip-anger.

[greenline]

I find it disappointing that SD's neighbors are either playing checked out builder games or are just distracted. That's the kind of horrendous play that frankly deserves to be punished.
