[SPOILERS] Lewger goes for the Bigwyn

[Old Harry]

Score increase for Xenu and Merohoc, I'm guessing BW and a religious tech, can you grab demos for this turn and next when you play?

I had a feeling this was a no-barbs game, but it isn't is it?

[Bigger]

well I got a pyft prod from commodore, hah. Even though there were 14 hours to go we were the last to play, so I played the turn.



not much, but next turn we get back to actually revealing territory again, rather than just retracing steps .

demos before hitting enter, working the rice:



demos next turn:


not sure anything changed??? but since you asked.

I just noticed that we are tops in land area (no surprise since we aren't coastal) but rival best is tied with us. Does that mean that someone else also has a capital with only 1 coast tile?? Or, I guess, an inland capital with a lake.

moved the scout so we could end turn:



excellent, a third happy . a city right where the scout is standing will be nice, to pick up the hill pigs and gold. I need to know whether we wish to go to the gold tile next or NW, W. I'm thinking the gold to check for seafood and make sure that forest west of the gold is the end of the peninsula there, but that will mean it will take us 2 more turns to get to the northern hill.

If we can secure the stone/moai/lake site before azza, and similarly cut him off in the east (forcing him to expand south), we will have a pretty decent stretch of land to expand into, I think.

worker is due in 4 turns. we need to do some simming before he completes (fastest way to get another worker, a settler, and at least 2 warriors out. Im not sure whether to improve the rice or the wheat first, tbh). We still have a few days though.

It's looking very nice over here!

The first demo's pic you took isn't working for me - is the url wrong?

Yes. Also, because you are ranked 1st, that means that it is someone that is behind you in tiebreaker order. Tiebreaker order is reverse player order. I don't know what player number you are (the easiest way for me to see is on CivStats), but any other civs that have 20,000 in land have a lower player number than you guys.

I don't know, but it doesnt matter. Its identical to the second demo pic. This shouldnt be surprising, I guess, since they only change between the two was me hitting enter . Actually Azza logged in and played his turn before I grabbed it as well, but there was still no change, so I guess nothing happenned in Azza land.

ok, we are the 5th team listed in civstats, so our player number is 5?

the first four are team Nakor, scoopin, commodore, and spacetyrant. So we can assume all 4 of them are coastal. I suspected nakor and scoopin were coastal anyway, as thats the easiest way to explain them growing before building a worker (and they are both FIN).

after us are azza, merhoc, plako, serdoa, catwalk, and brick (in order). so at least one of those teams has an inland start.

I wouldnt be surprised if its Azza, at least. we saw that his northwest second ring borders hit the beach but were land tiles (like our capital).

[Old Harry]

I don't know, but it doesnt matter. Its identical to the second demo pic.

It might - there are 2000 new soldier points that I need to assign. I want to know if they came at the start of t9 t11 or t10. I'm actually thinking it's a warrior for Pooter or Nakorfool right now, so it's not that vital, but it would be good to know when max soldiers went to 5000. If it's identical they got the warrior t10.

edit for not knowing the difference between t9 and t11

[regoarrarr]

Nah - if you mouseover your name it says

http://www.civstats.com/viewplayer.php?g...layernum=9

So you are player 9. Similarly you can mouseover the other players to see what their numbers are. SO CFCJester is 10, Commodore is 1, etc.

I think BRick just got Agri, but he's been very slow about it...

[Lewwyn]

Hmm yeah tough decision there about the gold. If there isn't a flat land it'll slow us down. But I think I'm in favor of finding out of there is seafood. I say gold.

I see we're up now. If either of you two agree I or either of you can play the turn now. The game is moving so fast that if it were just me playing the turns we'd definitely be slowing down the game. But trust me I am still here reading everything. Just not instantly.
