Nothing like the Prodigal Sons: The Odd Couple actually play as themselves.

t45 - Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

Noble logged in last turn to adjust the science rate and left 54374896 signs, which is the impetus for the title here. I've deleted most them prior to this post however, so you won't get to relive the excitement. My apologies.




You can see we've grown to sizes 5 and 2 respectively. Working a truckload of unimproved tiles because our start blows [27] and we suck at Civ, respectively. Next turn the copper mine finishes and we start work on a military unit. Whether that unit is an Axe or a Spear depends on whether we think Warren G's unit whip was a Chariot, Axe or Spear. I'm leaning Axe, but hard to say. Any ideas from the popcorn gang are appreciated.



That's G's power graph for reference. Unfortunately, its probably useless, since the power graphs are slow in PBs.

Here's the demogs. I owe you guys a post on dotmapping and long term planning. I make no promises.

when in doubt, always go spear. The things that are counted by an axe usually give you enough time to whip one.

I only see a 1 pop whip just looking at score difference, so that's good. Either whipped a chariot or one popped the others, meaning no 2-pop whip for units on consecutive turns. Which implies to me that this is more for home defense than offensive wandering. Maybe. Anyway, it would be nice to get a sentry up that way to give some advance notice when we can.

There was a 5->3 whip last turn. Only Kuro does one pop whips for axes and chariots.

Oh be nice. Why must you pile on?

[Ceiliazul]

how do you 2 pop whip a chariot? unless you mean an axe whip overflowing to finish a chariot, in which case we're hosed.

Whelp, in that case we better field a real army, just in case. I'll be damned if I want to end up retep'ed.

Clearly because he uses stupidly long anime names for no good reason.

MAYBE HE DRY WHIPPED IT EH EH?

But yeah it was very likely a slow mover now that you mention it. So maybe we'll do an axe.

Not to be Captain Obvious or anything, but have we confirmed via mouseover that his copper has been mined? If this has already been covered, I blame forgetting on Goreripper for the long delay over the holiday. :P

We have.

And good point on reminding us you can't 2 pop whip chariots.
