Spoilers- Superdeath prays that the RNG gods be kind.

Will it give me a 3F city center?

It should give you one, yeah. I just put a city centre on dry grassland rice in 2.0.9.5 and the tile was 3/1/1

[superdeath]

Thats good at least.

Planted my 3rd city, Filmore this turn. Im fairly late to 3rd city.. possibly last? but im hoping i wont be down 2-3 cities from the leader(s) aka OHarry for very long. Im banking rather hard on getting TGLH but i guess i could use the fail gold to go straight for currency, shit out cities, then use some amphibious swords to make someones day alot worse?

Picture dump. I apologize for any duplicates:

Alot of resources, then a bare wasteland so far.. MAYBE i do have a neighbor? Is this going to be a OH vs Krill kinda landmass? If so, kinda glad i have basically unbeatable melee units. C1CR2 swords from just a rax is pretty sick. A rax that gets 100% discount? Even better.



Less than 10t to go! Ive got a 20hammer and a 16 hammer chop coming in to help bring the lighthouse home! I have a city setup to almost 5t settlers, and this capital will get to that pretty soon as well. Hopefully i can find a source of stone to make my future MOAI city a real thing sooner.

Met a Dark Savant scout this turn, tried to hide that i met him via scout... and ran straight into a barb. RNG GODS BE KIND? :D

Dark Savant is playing Bismark of Mali. This means he wont be rush able ( regardless of our possibly huge distance between us ) and he has StoneHedge already so he is behind in expansion. If i land TGLH, ill try and far out expand him and then go in for the kill with a stack of swords/axes and 2 spears, with a galley force of 4-6 swords to try and find something coastal. I have enough land to possibly contend, but ill say that he isnt the worse neighbor i could have gotten.




6-7 turns away from TGLH.

Lurker question: If i burn thru food to get TGLH done... how does it work. I have 1/30 food in the bank, and would cost myself either 2 or 4 food to try and get it an extra turn earlier. Would it work like that, or would the city starve THEN swap tiles, then do production? Thanks!

[superdeath]

Looking like t65 for TGLH.

[AutomatedTeller]

I dunno if it works the same in MP, but in SP it looks like production happens, then the city loses population.

[superdeath]

Interesting... thanks! No idea if ill be able to get the wonder finished a turn earlier, but its nice to know.

Rough tech path, first 3 techs Math-currency-calendar are pretty well set in stone. Probably followed by IW. MC-Machinery if i find DS's borders with my fog busters. Otherwise i might make a play for the GArtist and use it for some civic swapping or for a good front city. There is a low-ball chance that he just dropped off a scout onto my island, but i dont think he had the spare units/ect to do that after such an early Stonehenge.



Dotmapping is a fun thing to do when you are waiting on other pitbosses to hurry up.



Im thinking of all kinds of ways to abuse this triple promo melee. Woody 2 out of the gate is pretty nice. Surprise w2 swords? Maybe.



I know, I KNOW.. no granary yet, but its in the works! Just didnt quite fit my micro before this.



Swapped one of those settlers for a galley to go scout out a good island city to settle soon-ish.



Here's hoping i get a good chunk of overflow into the granary so that it can be whipped in 4t. ( whipped the Armory ) Workboat should complete about the same time that borders pop.


So much food in my 3rd city, that it will probably run scientists. It will have enough foodhammers to generate some quick workers/settlers and so long as i keep the area fogbusted, im hoping to get out to 12-15 cities by t120. The sky's the limit. Going to build the SoZ in my Moai city for some extra boat xp and hope to keep my coast safe while i explore the world.

This is correct.
