RBP4 [SPOILERS] - Shaka of Zulu (sunrise089, regoarrarr, and friends)

Why do you care if they scout your lands?

Why do you care if they scout your lands?

We have no units, and we planted super-up with our second city, and it's possible that not every civ has as much land as us. When/if we land GLighthouse we're going to be a target, so we might as well not help the others' chances.

Why do you care if they scout your lands?

It's not the end of the world, but if we can prevent it, we should (and I think we can given that we have warriors and they have a scout) (if we can catch it )

But the main reason is that we don't want everyone to know how much land we have back there. That way we can be "hazy" when we describe it to others.

sandbox save as of t42 for krill (and anyone else)

Best GLH I can currently do is eot58. I think eot57 is possible but I haven't quite made it work yet.

To clarify, I can get eot57 if I use the existing worker to do one chop, which I did last night.

But I'm trying to avoid doing that since it wastes tons of worker turns moving to and fro (since I don't have the wheel much less any roads )

Email back from mackoti

Hi,
* Yes is a email just for this game.

*We will do that.

*Ii there any lland bridge to go south?

*Yes we did : Sleeping moogle wich is closer to you and Lord parkin wich is north of us.

Have a nice day,
Mackot

What? That doesn't make any sense without context?

He must not have talked to ioan76, because we covered a lot of this in our chat yesterday.

Here's the scout positions - our scout has moved - our warrior and their scout has not yet (T44)



I'm going to suggest they move their scout 1S - I suspect that is a dead end but it will give them something to do. We'll move our scout SW to check out that peninsula

Capital finished LH onto worker.



I'm trying to decide if we have worker in 3 (Masonry in 4) or worker in 4 (masonry in 3) - leanign towards the latter

Reply to mackoti

Great sounds good - I chatted a bit with ioan yesterday also.

I am not sure if there is a land bridge to the south or not. Our scout is 2 West 1 South of yours right now. If you could move SW on to the jungle hill and then generally head south you can explore. Our scout is going to explore to the SW (there's a similar peninsula over there) and then we can exchange whether those are land bridges or just more of the "peak" blocking tiles.

Does that sound good?

In C&D news, it's getting really hard to figure out soldier counts. I'm still tracking them because it's useful to know how much average counts went up.

Luddite got ANOTHER tech - he has now researched 8 techs in 44 turns

We've done 5, though we're almost done with Masonry and have BW half researched.

I pegged this recent one as Masonry which could spell bad things for our GLH race, as he already has a 2nd city up to size 3. Though he could be heading towards the Pyramids as well, though I don't think I have seen stone or marble on the map (which doesn't mean it doesn't exist).

I don't know what else it can be, since with 8 techs, I already have him down for anything cheaper. His last tech was T40. Actually check that it could also be Pottery, which makes a lot of sense for him as Expansive. He has both pre-reqs for both techs, and maybe he has a gold mine that he's working (similar to our 2nd city of Reading)

The one thing we have going for us if we are racing for GLH with them is that I'm 95% sure they dont' have BW. I can't figure out what techs they are researching because they're coming so fast and there could be tech swapping.

But there's only been one turn where soldier count has gone up by at least 8000 (BW) on a turn where luddite has researched a tech, and on that one, I'm 95% sure it was plako who researched BW (T31)

Obviously the downside is that GLH is only 133 hammers for them since they're Industrious

Ioan and mackoti logged in to play T44 and they are the 3rd team to get a 3rd city.

They also did move their scout SW on to the jungle hill as we requested

[regoarrarr]

We were last to play T45, so I played both turns and ended turn




Ioan has agreed to move his scout south - I'll send him a note on that letting him know what our scout found to the SW (i.e. nothing)

C&D work is becoming increasingly impossible
