[SPOILERS - PBEM17] novice and spaceman - Suryavarman of India

[novice]

Got it.

Dammit, too slow. Spaceman, you're on a roll!



I see you recently passed the 1000 post mark as well. There's hope for you still.

Woo! Hat-trick!

I did notice that I was up to 999 but then forgot about it. Wonder which one was my 1,000th.

Right then. Screenshot time.

Whipped settler in capital.



Boo, no seafood.



SW warrior gets bored. Heads back. (Although I did think about waiting there to see if he could make contact with someone.)



T34 demos. Heh, I've played two T34's today.



Top 5 cities.

Opponent city count: 5-2, 4-3, 3-3-1, and 2-1-1.

Changed to 5-2, 2-3, 3-2-2 and 2-2-1, I think, based on the population demographics. Could probably be verified by checking the score board.

Got it.

T35 played. We've met Shoot the Moon, but I don't know how or where. I can't spot any borders from the strategic view, and no units in the military advisor.

StM is the one with cities size 5 and 2, and he's in slavery and buddhism (self-founded).

Settler is en route to found Seaside, and Investment produced a scouting workboat.

Updated demographics:

Changed to 5-2, 2-3, 3-2-2 and 2-2-1

Changed to 5-2, 2-4, 3-2-2 and 2-1-1. We're at 2-3.

[novice]

Got it. And played T36. Shoot the Moon came from the northeast.



Someone founded hinduism this turn. Seaside will be founded next turn and start working the mined copper.



Demographics:

[novice]

Changed to 5-2, 2-4, 3-2-2 and 2-1-1. We're at 2-3.

Changed to either
5-2-1 (StM), 3-4-1, 4-3-2 and 2-1-1
or
5-2-1 (StM), 2-4-1, 4-3-3 and 2-1-1.

(Someone could have four cities as well but that's unlikely.)

We're at 2-4.

Where should our workboat go next?

NE:
- Might not meet anyone but StM for a while
- Might be blocked by StM's borders
- Correct direction for circumnavigation

NW:
- Might defog a colony island for us
- Might be a dead end

I'm leaning towards NE.
