Ministry of Silly Walks 2: Walk Sillier/Harder

[Shoot the Moon]

Are you sure detouring to Calender isn't a viable option? Or would it take too long since someone else has it already/not help us outside of MoM?

Shoot tells me someone else already has Calendar.

Yeah, someone else already has calendar, and has for 2-3t. That being said, researching calendar would only take us 5t give or take a turn. So the decision to make is would MoM be worth using a GE on (I think it would) and also what do we think the chances are that MoM is still available 7-8t after someone first discovered calendar. I doubt it would still be there, but I can be convinced otherwise. (Note, I haven't ended my turn due to this quite yet).

Hmmm, well the most likely candidate for researching Calendar is Smack. They don't have marble yet, since I found their only source with my scout and is a lot less convenient then ours (and ours isn't great in the first place). 4H is another candidate, although I don't think they have the tech power just yet, they can certainly build it faster then we can get it if it is them.

I definitely agree MoM would be a good thing for a GE, but could we really research Calendar before someone else builds it? Our GE birth is sure to worry anyone building the wonder, and even without that they'd probably want to build it quickly regardless. We'd have to really focus on tech for the next couple of turns, when we really need to be focusing on food. If we had CoL, I might be convinced to run Rep scientists everywhere to do it, but we don't. I think saving it for later is best.

Yeah, that's my impression as well: with everyone already seeing or GE, I doubt it will sit there. Considering we seem to be in agreement, I went ahead and ended turn researching CoL.

Shoot, I messed up Colossus micro. I think I forgot that a forge rounds whip overflow down, since I'd thought you'd have more whip overflow then this:



15 + 40 (chops) = 55 * 275% = 151 < 167. It only gets delayed a turn I think, as 6hpt * 275% = 16 + 151 = 167. Not a major error, since I doubt anyone else has MC, but a silly mistake by me nonetheless.

Both civs are going to found 2 new cities within the upcoming turns, upon which I'll snap some pics. Shoot will settle towards Seven to claim the horses that lie between us, as well as a good border city site further north. I meanwhile will plant my first city in the new world and a final border location towards HAK. Hopefully Colossus will even out the costs somewhat, since both of us are burning what little gold we have right now, and we haven't even planted our cities yet.

I'm probably going to need IW next, as my border location with 4H has jungled food/gems. Mono isn't necessary atm since I'm currently working on max workers/settlers, although after IW it would be nice for infra discounts. Even though ParanoidOcean is against the happy cap, Calendar can be delayed since I will be halting growth for settlers and caste specialist surges, and no other city in our team is in danger of passing the happy cap anytime soon. What else do we want in the short-medium term?

We also need to figure out what do with my GE at some point, you able to chat tonight Shoot?

[Shoot the Moon]

Yeah, I should be able to chat at the normal time.

Your next two cities should be called AccordionPlayer and AirlineMealChef. My newest cities will be called PetToyDesigner and HighProteinDiet, unless you particularly want one of my city names for some reason.

Even if we don't win the darn thing, the naming theme has been a ton of fun to do.

[WarriorKnight]

Could you end my turn Shoot? Only thing left to do is for you to finish Colossus first.

[Shoot the Moon]

No problem.

[Shoot the Moon]

I've played to finish CoL first. Not sure hat adjustments you want to make after that though so I haven't been able to end your turn.

Also, if I were to produce a settler for you would that be useful? My production city right on your border is stagnant, so having it build workers/settlers makes the most sense, but I figure you probably have the best spots we need to race for at the moment/that city isn't near the spots I want to settle next anyhow. Would you want it for settling to your east?
