[SPOILERS] The Rise of Lewger: A BacoN of Bacon Revenge (bacOn bAcoNbAcon) Bacon

[Lewwyn]

I assume that you have not posted Bigger because you've destroyed your computer in a fit of rage upon realizing the cowboys suck and the Eagles are going to win the division.

[BRickAstley]

I would foresee rageful drinking and loss of consciousness as an appropriate response.

[Bigger]

its a tough year to be a fan of any team in the NFC east. The Eagles aren't any better... I'm not sure who will win the division this year, I guess whichever team proves to be the shiniest turd.

glad to see courthouses and markets being finished . I started working on a lighthouse, but we also need a market and probably a galley as well.


our MFG has greatly improved, thats good. but im more worried about our food dropping off than our gnp. not a whole lot we can do about that, I guess, except build more settlers.

who do you think the #1 gnp is here? #2 w/o any wonders is pretty good, although the wide lead #1 has there is discouraging.


fuck, Scooter. his spot invalidates the hill city I was hoping to found, meaning we pretty much don't get any of the swath of dyes. we are going to have to capture the city from nakor eventually, but I can't see war w/ Scooter being profitable.. for a long long time.. so we're going to have to give up the northern dyes I guess


well now we aren't in a rush to found on the mainland, next 2 settlers need to go c? and city? spots here, in that order. we can't let scooter claim any more of the island.



wtf!! we were so lucky to get confuscianism. this seems like a really early fall for Philosophy to me, ick. only islam remains.



prophet taking so damn long!!

we need more settlers! still spots for more cities. there's several mainland backfill spots, as well as:


hard to tell, but I bet there's something to make this a nice island city


after the gems city, can we establish a small hold on this continent? I was thinking maybe taking the developed barb city, and founding another? too agressive, maybe.. lets see what dalphur has when we make contact w/ him soon.

[Lewwyn]

So basically everything is fine and I should just build more settlers and workers. I was hoping for a more pointed goal.

[Lewwyn]

I'm worried about power levels too. We're 14th in power and weakest on our island. Azza is above us. Not by much, but above. We only have 2 units building, though I plan for those two cities to continue to build units.

no. I fell asleep

[Bigger]

ok, my new thing this week is to log into the game every day to get back into the rythm of this game. with pb9 and other things... and you doing such a great job, I haven't logged in much. I also want to be prepared if you ever need me to take over.


oops. I set it to axe but we need happy here.. a market is 9 turns without whip, but how soon can we get religion here?


azza researched Alphabet. I think he's the only one that has it among civs we have made contact w/ - although scooter was online so I couldnt check them. worth asking for open borders? why not, extra trade routes would help us and he'll have no problem getting them from others. I think we'll need to invade him long term, but not at least until we have maces, cho-kus, and cats... I don't know really.


goals? well there isn't any elaborate gambit out there for us. the nearest wonder we could possibly shoot for is the Taj, which is still a good bit away (whoever got Christianity will surely beat us to the religious wonders.. I guess we could get notre dame but that hardly seems worth it).

So the only goal I see is to max out expansion. we have what.. 5-8 cities left we can found? 3 good cities on the big island, 2 backfill in the jungle.. maybe 1 on the small island, 1 with no food near azza on land already in our culture.. there's probably a crappy backfill out there somewhere, so maybe 8. then we will need war to expand. so I say set that as the goal now and start preparing for it.

War w/ Scooter just doesnt seem tenable. it would be a heavy naval war, and they are the vikings and have +1 ship movement. we could go to war w/ nakor but couldnt gain much and if we started to win scooter would jump in anyway and get more spoils than us. So azza it is, I think. Poor azza.

How to go after Azza? I don't think we have a significant MFG edge, but we do have a tech/research edge. so in the short term we focus on building, infastructure, economy, to exploit that and get a larger edge, then once we have a military advantage we build a huge army.

will maces/cho-kus/cats be enough? I think so, chos will be strong here. do we need to wait for knights? maybe for 2nd wave?
Can we skip hereditary rule for a bit if we get calender? Im thinking after civil service we go calender - metal casting - construction -machinery. fitting in HR won't be that bad if you think we need it. the shrine in 16 turns will help a lot, but also keep building libraries, markets, and courthouses. build only enough axes to insure we won't be invaded - which shouldnt be hard since Scooter doesnt seem to want to fight us and the other 2 aren't a serious threat. build a few more cottages but once we have metal casting we need to build lots of workshops - why not exploit our spi trait by constantly switching back and forth between slavery and caste, once we have workshops on the ground?

so the short term goal, I guess, is to maximize our economy - micro every city as effeciently as possible. so, yeah, work on getting library, market into every city with a cottage, and courthouse into every city w/ a large maintenence, etc, and religion into every city. yeah, thats boring, but I don't see any other goal until we get a military edge to fight azza. I can help with that, I think, I've always been a builder at heart. like I said I'm working on getting back into this game now that pb9's done and gone. I can probably start playing turns in a week or so if you need me to as well.

The axe was the correct build. I shuffled the cottage citizen to the sugar so we don't lose food and then shuffled the cottages through the capital to BAcon so that all the cottages in the capital BFC are still being worked. I want to move off the mines onto more cottages in the cap but I need the mines to finish that settler a turn early.

Other than that I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Getting CS and Bureaucracy will be a boost. We already have the two settlers almost built though I agree we need another 2 ASAP I think. bacon can get a missionary spread from the capital as well I will build one there. 4t build.

Really we're just waiting for that GProphet to pop.

what do you think about my long term goals?

I can't wait to see how much the religion will spread w/ the Shrine in place
