Gaspar and NobleHelium - More Arguments About Buildings & Food.

[NobleHelium]

I'm disappointed in the lack of other guesses.

Does that mean you're not disappointed in my guess?

[NobleHelium]

I don't think anyone can get B correct without looking at the save (I blame Gaspar for never finishing his full map stitching...that's a hint ).

[Mardoc]

Let's do a mackoti lurker guessing game.

Please guess a) what Commodore is doing there, and b) what I think he's doing there. If you are a global lurker you probably cannot participate in a. So just go for b.

Morse code, one letter/turn with worker positioning?

[Gaspar]

Who knew I was so popular, really?

Actually...



Y U NO LOVE ME NO MORE DAVY?

I should note that Dave is currently providing Yuri with Iron. These are the sort of stupid spite moves people should think about when their game ends up getting ruined by someone calling them on it. *cough* Commodore *cough*. Yuri has zero reason to build melee units against us and Dave has nothing to gain by Yuri being able to build them so the only lasting impact here in another -2 diplo modifier for Dave. Now, probably that doesn't matter. But if you're Dave, you're really not in a position to be pissing us off because the Misters CKN over here would do a pretty good number on Dave's bajillion pike army.

Anyway, this was mostly an inbetween turn in the war, though its certainly possible that we could take Gaziantep next turn - unlikely, but possible. Here's the current field:



Ideally, Yuri will move the LB out of Gaziantep next turn and we can kill it in the open field with one night and raze Gaziantep with the other. Doubtful it will turn out that nicely, but a boy can dream. Anyway, the Edirne will very much be the last stand. Probably ~8 Longbows the turn we attack. Here's hoping we have enough.

You can also see Commodore still rubbernecking in the picture there. Speaking of Commodore, I think there are basically two reasons he's feeling rather butthurt at the moment:



That's about as aptly named a city as Cathedral. Even more absurdly, this:





Domestically, we finished off Chemistry giving us almost fully boosted Workshops - just need State Property. Still, pretty good tile improvement at this stage, better than Mines pre-railroad since we're probably not going to use much slaving from here on out. And we polished off Sistine:



Here's the demos:

[Merovech]

Why did you build Sistine? Are you going for a culture victory? Is it for more border control? Seems like those hammes could be spent elsewhere, unless I am missing something.

[Lewwyn]

Its huge for border control. Really huge especially in newly taken land vs Mistibod.

Its a nice wonder if you have Marble. Its a nicer wonder if you are running a SE or a hybrid like we are. its even nicer if you have the monk stuff in every city and are loads of bonus culture everywhere.

Not only will it help a lot in setting a good border with Mist, it will probably allow us to gank a tile here and there from Commodore which is crucial in making sure we can see any attack coming.

[NobleHelium]

The Sistine Chapel is like Chichen Itza except it doesn't suck. It's the fourth monk wonder that nobody talks about. Plus we limit any ideas about cultural victories from the others.

[Lewwyn]

Checked your save. 8 LBs in Erdine, 2 LBs 1 axe in Gazi... Don't think you're taking it anytime soon.
