[SPOILERS] Team Orgynized: Parkin/Arki/Magno embark on a kinky adventure

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 30

Domestics

We'll finish our second Worker next turn (Tatiana Romanova), and send her to mine the hill 2W of our capital. Meanwhile, Honey Ryder will finish mining the hill she's currently on, then move to chop a forest either 1N or 1S of her current location.

Demographics

Graphs

We just got graphs on Eagles & Condors this turn. Here they are:

They're even in GNP and ahead in both MFG and food, but that's the benefit of an Expansive start. We'll catch up in time, since they'll hit the maintenance-enforced expansion limit like everyone else and our Industrious trait will come into its own. Bear in mind that as the Fin/Exp civ they're likely to be at the top of the curve right now - most other civs will be more similar to (or behind) us.

Turn 31

Domestics

Our second Worker, Tatiana, was born. Back to producing our Warrior... only 2 turns and we'll be at size 4.

Demographics

Look at the Demos from last turn!
A team have to aquired Bronze Working and is now in Anarchy. Gold is at one per turn, so it has to be it.

Good catch. We can be sure no teams have finished Bronze Working since then, as the soldier count hasn't gone up by 8000 or more in the last 5 turns.

But how then? I doubt anyone got monotheism yet...

Oh, the 1 GNP would have definitely been a switch to Slavery. I was just idly making the observation that no-one had finished the Bronze Working tech since. No guarantee that the person who most recently finished BW was the one who switched to Slavery of course, it could always be someone who finished it a few turns ago.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 32

Bronze Working will be done next turn, and we'll begin chopping forests as planned.

Demographics

Someone's still only on 9 food at turn 32? Ouch.

Techs for Margarita, Eagles & Condors, Care Bears, Dinosaurs. Back to #1 GNP, probably because several teams just finished techs.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 33

Domestics

We're now at size 4! We'll be at size 5 in only 3 turns. Our first Warrior will be ready next turn, and our second will arrive 2 turns after that. Any ideas for names?

Shifted our second Worker to start chopping to optimize our Settler/Stonehenge times in the sim. And we have a source of Copper! We can even grab both Horse and Copper with the same city (#3?) if we want.

Demographics

No increase in the rival average soldier count. Eggheads got a tech and founded their second city. Just checked and they were the second team to do so after Imperialistic Care Bears (who founded their second city on T28).

Blame Caledorn did a 1-pop whip on T32. So far the other teams that have whipped have been Care Bears (1 pop on T26), GG (2 pop on T31), and Eagles & Condors (2 pop just after this screenie was taken on T33).

Top Cities

Somehow we have the #3 city in front of the Eggheads (who are the other Creative civ). Presumably that means their capital is currently size 3 or smaller.

Turn 34

Domestics

Our first Warrior is finished! What shall we name him?

Hopefully we'll meet another civ in the next few turns, or else we'll have a minor dilemma with our espionage spending. We've agreed not to spend more EP's on Eagles & Condors, and have suggested a similar agreement to Maga, yet we'll have to put extra espionage points into at least one of them if we don't meet someone new soon. I guess we could spend 2 points on each of them with an apology, or just continue to put 4 into Maga since in almost a week she hasn't said anything about our espionage proposal. (By the way Arki, have you heard anything from her recently? I've had complete radio silence from her both on Skype and Gmail since her quick note about finding the EggHeads almost a week ago, which is a little disconcerting since we had rather a large number of points to discuss.)

Demographics

Blame Caledorn settled their second city on T33 - the same turn as EggHeads. Dinosaurs grew their capital, and Bowsling/Aivoturso got a tech. Soldiers went up by 9000 this turn, so it was almost certainly Bronze Working that was researched.

[Arkipeller]

I haven't seen her around, but I got more channels than you.
When it comes to men pornstars, I got absolutely no approporiate suggestions.
Instead of hoping that our espionage don't break a deal, we could inform one of our neighnours (Maga) about the situation.

But here is a fun fact: usually you got more EP against a rival you are not friendly with... so in future it is possible to make a EPagreement to spend points on eachother so a NAP is not suspectez from other players.

[Lord Parkin]

Well hopefully it's just that she's busy rather than that she's ignoring us. I see she hasn't updated her thread in the last few days, so maybe that's it.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to check how many EP's a rival nation has invested against anyone except you. Thus there's no need to bother spending espionage against allies (unless you've made some sort of tech stealing arrangement).
