Intersite Game - Turn Discussion Thread

WPC don't know Iron Working yet! Dumb/bad luck for them planting on the iron. In fact, the only teams I have down for IW currently are CivFr and Univers, though it's possible another team researched the tech this turn. Note the tile yield - it should have been 2-2-1 if WPC knew IW.

I think Apolyton are pretty cramped for land. They have ocean to their east, to their south they have CivFr, and to their west I think they have quite a bit of water and also Univers. Also, CivFr has only 11 cities but are the rival best in land. Note also their expansion in both north-south and east-west. I think Nom Svp is a real aggressive city plant, and that CivFr has really pushed pushed their cities far.

Ie, I think we should try to cultivate Apolyton a bit. Right now they're #3 behind us and CivFr, on par with CFC. Granted, we can't really help them against CivFr, but having one team which can provide resource trades, high-value trade routes and some intel would still be helpful for them.

Another thing that amuses me is how Christianity has spread around. No less then three teams have one Christian city, and I think Univers has received quite a few spontaneous spreads too.

Well, if you don't plant cities then you're going to be cramped...

Am I reading the micro spreadsheet correctly, but shouldn't the granary chop in FR be done on T125? That way, the worker that is currently on the forest can move S on T124 and put 1/5 into the wheat farm.

And sweet about the barb axe murdering the german chariot!

[Sullla]

Well, we could do that, but it won't get the wheat farm done any faster, and it would delay the granary for a turn for no purpose whatsoever. Moving Worker S to the south next turn just gets us to 4/5 worker turns in the farm, still not finishing it. We still finish the wheat farm on T126 in both cases, while delaying the granary for a turn. I'm not sure how that would trump the current plan.

I did some fog reading in a previous post, not sure if anyone read it. It includes these images but there's much more:







I think Lew should finish exploring the East side, we really need to get that dotmapped and settled. It won't take long, only a few tiles are still uncovered.

[novice]

I read it, good work Ceil. Yeah I agree that Lew should move east to finish scouting that peninsula, which is also what Sullla suggested in his turn report.

[NobleHelium]

Yeah your fog reading post was fantastic actually.

[novice]

By the way, tragic how many units have had to die to defog that crappy land.

[Ceiliazul]

which is also what Sullla suggested in his turn report.

Ah yes, I thought he meant the *other* east.

It almost makes you feel bad that WPC asked us to help kill the Germans before the Germans asked us to kill WPC. Atleast the Germans are kinda competent except at not ending turn of which they are second to none.
