I see no reason to risk losing the Taj while we take a stab at MoM.

Darrell

I also see no reason to delay working on the Taj while waiting for the Marble to come online. I'll hold the chops off of course, and slaves after the first Worker slave. The Taj is 469 hammers. We get 2.5 multiplier, so the forests total to 200 hammers. That's another 269 hammers from whip overflow and just regular hammers. Russia pulls 15 hammers/turn, so about five turns of 22 hammers puts us at 159 hammers to go. Another five turns at 37 hammers/turn and we are done. Looks like about a 10 turn build.

Actually...whipping that Worker will take us off some high hammer tiles . I'll call it a dozen turns. MoM is not that far away. Might be worth getting Alphabet just to know if we can delay the Taj...

That is the AP religion. We are going to sail our Galley to suckitlebron, and gift it.

Are you sure you don't mean that you'll sail the Galley and launch a sneak attack to raze the city?

And yeah, teching Alphabet sounds like a good idea. You're close to PP anyway.

[darrelljs]

Krill is advocating Printing Press before Gunpowder even, given our NAP situation. I am inclined to agree with him.

Darrell

[Krill]

Oh, we are getting a pair of Jewish Missionaries from regoarrarr. That is the AP religion. We are going to sail our Galley to suckitlebron, and gift it. He'll load the missionaries, sail it back, and gift the boat. We have a NAP for that duration plus two turns.

Darrell

No. We need that galley to shuttle workers over to marble. if rego wants to spread his religion, he can do it himself.

[darrelljs]

No. We need that galley to shuttle workers over to marble. if rego wants to spread his religion, he can do it himself.

This is AFTER we shuttle workers .

Darrell

[darrelljs]

rego seeks the taj...his research is on it. We needs be careful. I will steal the fish next turn to grow onto the hammer tiles faster. Mine the hill first, then chop the forests. I can lose to a GE still, I think.

Darrell

[Krill]

Odds of rego getting a GE now are low. OTOH, I think he might not have used the GE for the GL.

[Krill]

GE just got born last turn. Famous last words I suppose?



OU will need 53 adjusted hammers after next turn. 2 turns worth of building, and a double pop slave should see it finished just as we are about to start teching again. I suppose it might make sense to get a GS out of one of the two cities that have points built up for a back up GA.

[NobleHelium]

GE born for regoarrarr or a faraway land?
