Intersite Game - Turn Discussion Thread

[sooooo]

In case my post in MM thread went unnoticed: How do people feel about going MC before Drama, so that we can build forges before theatres? Of course, if it's possible that we wan't to delay MC after Liberalism then I guess the benefit of slightly earlier forges can be neglected.

I think Drama is a crucial tech for us - we need to get that Globe up ASAP as it's a huge source of hammers. Plus, as others have mentioned, we've already researched 1/3 of the tech and it gives us a prereq. for philo.

Drama first, then philo or paper (it doesn't really matter which).

One thing about going for Philo or Paper next is that it pretty much commits us to go for Liberalism ASAP. Especially once Paper is researched, it's a pretty clear signal to Apolyton that the race is on.

On the other hand, it also likely makes Apolyton to delay important techs like Calendar or IW.

We can always do counter C&D. Grab Drama, then tech Paper almost to completion, tech Philosophy almost to completion, finish Philoshophy, Paper, Edu (with bulb) and then Liberalism. Apolyton will have no time to react.

This.

Also allows the first scientist to build an academy, gaining an extra few turns of academy boost.

Also, remember we already have beakers into drama and it is such a cheap tech we can overflow a ton of beakers off of it. Considering that, I think we might as well finish it off.

The manufacturing number is filthy.

'The manufacturing number is fifty' ... this sentence confused me for quite a while until I actually read the post correctly

My reaction on seeing that whole screen was: "Oh, for <expletive deleted>'s sake!"

Good plan, but does Apolyton have research visibility on us?

Do they have alphabet?

[NobleHelium]

Yeah they do. But that doesn't let them see partially completed techs.

I sure hope not.

Btw, anyone can tell when we get Paper from our ability to trade maps.
