Micromanagement Sims/Planning

[Fintourist]

I am interested Do you do something differently in T67 (can't currently go to comp and check the sheet)

[kjn]

That sounds great, getting gems hooked up on T76. Are there any other drawbacks with the plans apart from delaying the Bananagem granary?

Not that I can see on T77 - I didn't spend any time looking at the horsie city, but the two workers outside KC are still available. I've done a ridiculous amount of production juggling to keep the cities happy.

Here is the T77 savegame. Note the half-finished cottages just about everywhere.

What I did differently was the road layout - I spent less time going onto forests to road - and note how there is no proper road connection between Bananagem and the south yet: I used the river instead.

This is a t77 hookup of gems, though? One of the workers on gems has used his action on t77. Or did you have a variant of this where you hook up the gems on t76 and delay the granary even more?

OK, I see the variation. Worker G roads his forest instead of chopping it, and can then finish the gems on t76, and then the granary in Bananagems can be chopped on t77. That's an awfully late granary, though.

Heh. Not the way I envisioned, but certainly workable. But yes, the eot73 granary is a definite point in favour of your plan.

I also see that my game used the non-roaded forest in KC. Not that I think it matters much.

Bedtime for me now - hope you, Seven, Sullla, and the rest can come up with a good plan.

[novice]

I'm going to bed now. I guess barring further feedback Sullla will just have to choose the plan he likes best? Hopefully some of the other americans have some input too.

I can recommend my plan as a "good enough" plan.

Unfortunately my plan diverges from kjn's plan already this turn.

One comment on the above plan, regarding builds.

I think the libraries there are overdone. AO and KC definitely need libraries. MM can use one with the gold, but will we run scientists there soon? If we want a GS first, then HF is a good spot to build it, but only then. But why a library in FP? I'd rather put in a barracks there and make it into our early military city. It has the greatest early sustained hammer potential among our cities, and would make a good HE candidate.

We will also need some source of promoted units, if WPC decides to send their dogs our way. We will need every edge we can get if they send shock dogs at us, before we can get some War Chariots.

Yeah I agree with this. The libraries are placeholders, really.

[Fintourist]

At least when I did my plan I used libraries and axes as a placeholder when I wanted to grow cities. Barracks sounds reasonable. Library would however bring couple of beakers for our farmer's gambit

EDIT: Crosspost with novice

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Unless we're actually militarising, I prefer to just use Axes as the placeholders. Barracks don't do much unless you're AGG, they're only +10% strength until they win a battle. I'd rather have more axes and bog down our opponents.

Besides, if they send Shock Dogs at us, we build Archers.
