[SPOILERS] vanrober learning from GKC far from home of each otherr

[vanrober]

Okey, so opening borders just make me lose money until i can go through naufragar. Thanks Noble

[NobleHelium]

Well it doesn't make you lose money. The other player gains money without you gaining or losing anything.

[vanrober]

I meant losing money in the sense of demos, that shows negative balance

Who the hell has 81 CY...

Not only who, how??? I just cant see any way hahaha. Like 80 gnp of ElGrillo, just so amazing.

But overall i think we are not doing bad. (it would be better if i dont missplay every 2 turns but...)

Don't forget that the GNP graph also includes culture

Reading my last post i noticed i settled the new city and i didnt say the name of it.


The 5th city is called PoquitoAPoco like the song known as Poquito a Poco of Estopa, the 5th of their first album. I like this one and some of his weird sentences i am not sure if i can translate good enough.

The songs sais: "La tristeza me alegra la vida" something like "Sadness makes my life happy" not sure if happy or happier but i guess you see the paradox and oxymoron Estopa usually use in their lyrics.

Anyway in the next spoiler you can listen the song if you want!

ElGrillo is going crazy just prove world is round and has GLH and also is PRO, so his gold is just godlike, i want to think his neightbours know that and will want to shut him down. Also grow some jungle in the N tile of MeFaltaElAlient so a road there is a must.

General and me were talking by PM about a 7th city, he thinks the best spot is on the hill (yellow dot) and i think is 1S (red dot), the only good part i see of getting on the hill is the defensive bonnus. In a first moment i was thinking about the spot i dot some turns ago, with the 2 cow but the city of Scooter claimed the grass cow (the best one) so it seems its not a good spot anymore. There is no  much food in the east so sharing some food with the core cities might make sense. The wheat of MeFaltaElAlient is the only real food source so sharing it might not be a good idea (Im not sure since im not really good on this game, correct me if im wrong) Sharing the corn then, since the capitol has some more food then it might make sense. 

->The point i see to settle on desert is, we could share the floodplains with Tan Solo and Poquito a Poco, also the cow and finally the corn, also we could get some hills to work. 
->Settling on the hill means more defense, some grass over the north of the lake and the corn. Some less prod and some more desert and also more need of monument.

I guess neither are bad spots.

Im not sure if we just explained well our macro propose. It is trying to replicate the same strategy Pindi used on PB52 vs Gira and me, make a keshiks rush in the 90s. Im a bit afraid of having the same problem like Pindi had, the backstabb of the other neighbour. I feel Scooter much more dangerous than Ruff, so either we decide to atack Scooter or we atack Ruff we need to be friends with Naufragar, if we try to go for scooter and he joins might be the perfect way, and if we go for ruff we need to avoid the backstab of Scooter by frighten him with a backstab of Naufragar. We didnt talk at all about this, i guess its too early since there is 20 turns still but we should start thinking.

   

Demos and Graphs, still not much change,  we are killing prod and food (with the exception of that godlike fooder). And i know there is some delay between graphs and demos, but im not sure who is going before and how much, can anyone tell me?

       

Finally, if anyone has any question or request of anything just say!

I ve been thinking about the settling spot for 7th city and if we settle on the hill we might get a better borther with Scooter if he settle closer that would be considered pinkdot i believe so he would take several turns to get into that city.

Also miguelito found us, but i dont see the unit, i just know he has OB with Ruff so he comes from there, he doesnt know Superdeath so he might saw us around ElGrillo saw us? its a posibility. The thing im thinking know is: would it be worth to change a Keshik for a galley and look where the people is and getting some gold for trade routes? he has not writting yet.

   

Also saw something more about the war between Nau and Scooter, it is not as cold as i thought. In the first place there is some culture of scooter in the nau area. So someone stealed the city of the other i guess. And also there is a mini stack of units on the border. I guess the last city of Scooter was to get the stone for walls.

           

The micro is going as planned and now we are working one more cottage in order to get better GNP. On 2 turns borders pop for working the horses and the keshik building will be a fact.

Not much change in demos and graphs, just so many people to put EPs right now, it will take around 20 turns to see the demos of every of them i believe. Just amazed on Power graph, we are having better power and we are not on war and just having 1 unit on every city and 2 fogbusters, so their army are pretty much what we see on the screenshot i guess.

It seems Nau is going to destroy a city in the next turn. 

   

The settler is on the way to the gems spot. Doing monument on the capital now.

GRaphs and demos looks similar.

       

Superdeath is puting EPs on us and im putting them on Elkad.

Someone else did MC, i hope nau ends soon Writting.
