so shoot got writing first eh? he requested open borders. well at least i know the itll b quicker to research when we go back up to 100%. sod it ill accept. hmm he either didnt offer it to sian or was rejected. is there going to be a war between them?

ill wait til next turn to post any pics as the scouting quechua might have something decent to report then

oops forgot to check bombalurinas health again haha

[TheMusicMan]

hmmm maybe delaying the1st work-boat for quicker growth wasnt such a good idea after all. ive swapped from the rice to work the fish to get extra commerce but i noticed if i work both then growth will spiral out of control. saying that the city will be size 5 when the 2nd work-boat finishes but only working 4 tiles due to unhappiness damn! suppose it gives me more pop to play with when i whip the settler haha

after that tweak heres the beaker/gold ratios:

0%: +16gpt
60%: +16bpt -1gpt
100%: +27bpt -11gpt

now the pics as promised:

the north:



the middle:



the south:

oh erm in cton does open borders normally allow right of way? should i cancel with shoot?

[TheMusicMan]

right coppers linked up to the network so id better build an axe next in bombalurina while it grows on a flood-plain haha

still built 1 more quechua in macavity and well build a worker next which will be 2-pop-whipped into the library that ill queue up next as writing completed this turn. ill do the same with the settler in mr.mistoffelees. mathematics is queued next but well have to go down to 0% to pay for it

other news; sian built stnehenge. no sign of the oracle yet. oh yeah i found sians culture with the northern scouting quechua. will post a pic next turn

[Catwalk]

Yes, OB gives right of way unless you have made an informal agreement to exclude passage. I believe you can't cancel an OB agreement for 10t (although you can cancel it by declaring war).

[TheMusicMan]

maybe ill send the axe down to say 'hi' haha

[Qgqqqqq]

Can't you tell whos at war from the foriegn diplo screen?

[TheMusicMan]

ok squeezed an extra exp bonus hammer for the worker in macavity by taking a mine off mr.mistoffelees which incidentally benefited as it can work both food resources for the settler build despite having 1 citizen in revolt. looking forward to 2-pop-whipping that city haha

moved carbucketty to cottage a flood-plain at bombalurina. shoots warrior is standing ojn that tile so i moved the quechua to cover in case he gets arsey and declares

southern scouting quechua has found some nice resources. how about an ivory/pig/fish combo:



or would the ivory be better with the wet corn?

tech/gold ratio:

0%: +18gbt
60%: +17bpt; 0gpt
100%: +29bpt; -11gpt

mathematics takes 7 turns at 100% so 6 turns at 0% required

oh and eps at end of turn:

shoot:54/58
sian: 32/58

another turn over

1-pop-whipped the 6th worker [coricopat .. hmm] in macavity. overflow into library. should be able to 2-pop-whip the settler in mr.mistoffelees next turn. maybe

offered open borders to sian. if he accepts my scout can skip through his culture haha

heres the ratios:

0%: +17gpt
60%: +16bpt; 0gpt
100%: +28bpt; -11gpt

heres demos:

[TheMusicMan]

keeping it peaceful with sian in this game .. for now! he accepted open borders so my scouting quechua can get a bit of vision in his culture:



also noticed that shoot has settled his horse. the southern quechua will unfog a couple of squares on his way to investigate:



damn! of coarse no bonus happiness for troops without monarchy doh! wasted sending a spare quechua over to quell the pop-unhappiness. oh well 2-pop whip the settler next turn then. really thought it was sooner

dammit! theres gonna be some whip-unhappiness causing problems in macavity next turn too. actually scratch that i maximised commerce and increased hammers at the expense of food to get the library out quicker

the tweaking of macavity has improved the economy - as has pasturing the horse this turn - as the ratios look better:

0%: +27gpt
60%: +22bpt; +3gpt
100%: +39bpt; -11gpt

mathematics will take 5 turns. will ramp up tech rate next turn

other news: didn't spot the oracle being built 3 turns ago. looking at scores it has to be mackoti as i know it wasn't shoot and sian only has stonehenge. which begs the question what is shoot doing to get that score without wonders?
