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

[vanrober]

:'(

It seems that on PBSpy scooter is still alive in the new turn. What does the scoreboard say about scooter in-game?

[vanrober]

You can go in if you want, pasword is estopa

[NobleHelium]

Usually people write it when kill someone and i though i had to. Peaople will notece when changing the turn scooter will be ended anyway. But ill deleted it just in case.

I guess you are right.

I would say that such statements are generally stated when it is obvious to all players who eliminated the eliminated player.  Also I was talking more about the second half of your post than the first.  How difficult scooter was to eliminate is privileged information.

Hey Vanrober! I saw your PM asking about if I felt you made any mistakes. Unfortunately, I've been super checked out of this game for quite a long time (long before you attacked), and pretty much just was logging in to whip and end turn, so I wasn't actually paying any attention at all to where your units were moving.


Seemed like you did well though? Can't argue with the results. I like the choice to use peace with Ruff to hit a more checked-out player if that was your goal (haven't read your thread yet). If you can hold off Ruff, I like your chances in this game, especially with another crippled neighbor. So, seems well done to me!


Ok one complaint: don't start 3-way turn splits if you can avoid it please. That was obnooooooxious.

Thanks for come by Scooter!.

I think that was one of the mistakes i did. I shouldnt have atack Nau, he had enough for defending from 8-9keshiks or at least a coin flip. And finally i decided to not take that. So I declared pretty much for nothing, and then i forced that weird situation with turn split. 

Anyway thanks for coment and feel free to keep tunned in here. I was using spoilers to hide all the pics and then i read on PB53 you thought that was really a pain for lurkers and changed it for that coment xD.

Turn 119

Didint say yesterday that Nau has 2 citites now, so hopefully he make them 2 pop so we can get one less settler. The plan is to settle as much cities as possible in the land we conquered and raise the pop so they are actualy worth and help us not to get bankrupcy.

We are making so much building istead of units, and the purpose is to get better economy and start the come back into the game, only 3 cities are making units. Now we are making 3-4 WB to get circunavigation to help our economy too.

Also we saw Ruff to make a fort in his land and start landing units with the galley inot his island. Im not sure, but he might be planing to snipe El Grillo. So we tried to comunicate with EG asking to stop trading with ruff, giving him open borders and ivory. Not sure if its going to take it. We ll see.

On the tech view we are much behind, people has already machinery, calendar, monarchy... So we are running Scientist to make an academy or a GA, not sure which one will become first. On the GA we want to change into HR, OR and Buro, so that will last a bit, and not sure if we will land on time if we GA right the way.

Demos and graphs, we are decent on production and food, the lack of gold is the thing killing our position. We need that circunnavgation.

   

   

Here is a overview of the empire, so you can see the buildery situation and the lack of population in several cities. Also you can see better the new names of the cities.

   

   

Finally the tech gap i was talking before

Oh wait, you were at war with both of us? I didn't realize that. Shows you how close my attention was, hah. I was wondering why you didn't just join the same half of the split as him.

I might not understand you point well. I thought you meant when i declared on Nau 10 turn ago or so... But now i see that you meant that you were last with him and before me. I thought that wouldnt be such a trouble since you have the same hour ... Maybe im wrong :/

Turn 121

I have been busy this days, i have a lot of things to send to my boss and i didnt finish anything. Anyway, we finish the Great Wall which we did just to get some more GPpoints, we want to make a GA and some academies and we are behind on tech/gold, so we need wonders. The next try is Artemise.

We are getting closer the gap with the second in power, we think is Mjmd or Miguelito, since mjmd got/destroyed 3 cities of ElGrillo and the war need units and that raises the power, and Miguelito... he seems to be in a good spot, several galleys and trirremes we saw, so he could be too. Since we dont see the stats of any of them we cant really know. Also Ruff is getting a good spot in power we have just 1.3 times his strenght. The fact is that we are making jsut buildings, overall librarys, we need to get our gold rolling. And because of that we are not getting more power, also losing some units into Scooter made us lost 38k power which is not little.

The plan to get some extra gold is to make the shrine in Cacho a Cacho and spread out the religion with OR. So the tech path is, the oracles tech, monoteism, monarchy for now, we ll see if we need machinery for the samurai or maybe CoL or CS for buro.

We are still good on prod and food, and will become decent on gnp
