[Spoilers] Zara of Greece

[Alhazard]

reminder to self to send overflow from thebes to the GW, not a spearman.

Sorry for the lack of reporting. The main reason actually is that I have gotten tired of cropping my screenshots. Maybe I should just play in full screen mode? Pic dumps for the T100 report.



Yuris has 5 units in Marseilles which worries me.



I don't get settling Ondini. This city is very exposed and there is no way ipecac can control of the banana tile since Corinth already popped 3rd ring borders and Pharsalos popped its 2nd ring end of turn. The city is pretty annoying though so I am going to try to raze it.



Because Orleans built it's Library earlier than Thebes, I am trying for the GW in the city just for the quick 2 culture with hopefully 200+ failgold. To the west, kwaDuzuka is in a very annoying spot, and I definitely have it in mind to raze it.



Just lost control of the northern pigs. ipecac built the Henge where Nodwengu is now. I razed it the next turn, but really surprised that it worked. He could have moved 1 impi in to block it. Also noticed that this map requires 5 cities to build Oxford? The cities that will build the multipliers are going to be Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Argos, and Kronos.









The 3 filler cities I recently planted are costing a lot but since I got currency already, I could afford to do so. Hopefully I can whip out a lot units from them.















Havent researched HBR and any on the religious line. With the academy in the capital i will 2t Calendar, COL, then construction for the UB.











Surprised at the military build up from yuris when he is almost broke. Did he research HBR and is going for an attack? I think he razed Donovan's city that claimed the cow and the sheep closer to him, but seems like Donovan replanted it, which has be to be irritating.

ipecac built the GW so I get 90 more failgold. Bad news is that he built it in his jewish holy city that will press a lot of culture into the 3 cities next to it. My response was to put every city I can into wealth build. I will try to clear calendar, construction, and COL in the next 6 turns. Well I actually think I won't make it to COL and have to limp to it.

[Alhazard]

obv the UB will be a priority in all the border cities.

Screenshots soon but basic plans for the next dozen turns

Athens:
Build wealth for a few more turns then build an aquaduct to ideally 39/100. When the whip counter is 11 (T116?), build the Market that I already whipped, and when the whip counter is 10 (T117?), 3 whip the aquaduct, that should give us 75+ overflow into the HG. After HG, definitely need the Odeon and courthouse. Build Odeon to 19/80 or less then 2 whip it, sending overflow into a courthouse.

Sparta:
2 whip Odeon at 19/80 or less overflowing into a market when the whip counter is 10 (T114?). Might need to 2 whip a phalanx at 4/35 into Odeon depending on the military situation. The next whip cycle will be a courthouse into a market.
DO NOT chop the 2 trees in the BFC. Those will go to the GLB. Plan is to 3 whip a market into the GLB since the tech after Calendar, Construction, and COL will be literature.

Corinth:
Build MoM first. Then Odeon and courthouse. Afterwards, all military.

Thebes:
2 whip Odeon at 19/80 or less into a market when the whip counter is 10 (T118?). Might need to 2 whip a phalanx at 4/35 into Odeon depending on the military situation. The next whip cycle will be a courthouse into a market.

Argos:
2 whip Odeon at 19/80 or less into a market when the whip counter is 10 (T119?). Might need to 2 whip a phalanx at 4/35 into Odeon depending on the military situation. The next whip cycle will be a courthouse into a market.

Knossos:
Build an Odeon to 16/80 and 2 whip it into the Moai. Then build a courthouse to 58/120 or less then 2 whip into the Moai. There is 4 hammers into a phalanx if the situation is bad.

Mycenae:
Let it grow out then take the stone and PH mine tiles. Hard build spear then Odeon then courthouse.

Pharsalos:
Build an Odeon to 19/80 or less and 2 whip it into the courthouse. Build a rax to 19/50 or less then whip it into the courthouse.

Ephesus:
Build an Odeon to 19/80 or less and 2 whip it into the courthouse. Build a rax to 19/50 or less then whip it into the courthouse.

Halicarnassus:
Actually an odeon is not a priority. 2 whip a rax at 19/50 or less into a unit then a courthouse to a unit.

Already made an adjustment after playing the turn. Will research COL next then construction. Sparta can 2 whip the courthouse first. the reason is that I noticed ipecac also got a bunch of GW failgold and I don't want him to beat me to the COL.

[Alhazard]

ipecac researched alphabet?! He still doesnt have currency or IW. Why?

Set research back to construction since I really need the UB and the cats for the border controls. I think in the capital, I will stop whipping the city after the aquaduct and let is grow onto the rest of the cottagable tiles.

Huge military build-up by ipecac.

Checking in. Just to confirm that I'll play the turns. My email is mozarthspier at the usual email from google.

I see you have some intricate plans to get certain wonders. I think it would be better if you leave detailed turn plans for the cities that are supposed to build the wonders, so that I don't mess anything up. I understand most of the plans for the cities (using double/triple whips to get overflow), but I'm hesitant that I'd overlook things that require a bit more finesse.
