[SPOILERS] Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony on another PG-13 adventure!

[classical_hero]

I will say this, if you see the timer is 6 hours left and either one of us hasn't played, then the other can play that turn so we don't miss it. Sounds fair?

[Halvgud]

Yes, sounds fair.

Login, Moved 8, this is the new view. I think 3-3 is the best course here if we are to scout the southeast.

[classical_hero]

What I am thinking after the worker is done, we build another scout so we have two scouts, one looking up north and one looking towards the south. I am thinking that this scout should go up north and the second one once we have built it goes southward and the like.

[Halvgud]

Hmm.. Yes that is a suggestion. Will it be enough time/turns after that to build warrior for defense against snoopy neighbours that may look for a quick kill? Just healthy paranoia here.

[classical_hero]

Our borders have expanded.

and


I moved the scout towards the north and this is what he found. Not much at the moment.


Since we were at the end of the turn I decided to do two turns in a row, so that means you can next two turns.

[classical_hero]

We are leading the scoreboard. That means we were the only one to start researching hunting.

[Halvgud]

Which begs the question what the others actually are researching.
I'm thinking 7 as first Scout move instead of moving 8 into the forest, with a possible 7,8,9 pending what is found hidden in the darkness of unknown resources.

Considering that some started with Mysticism, surely some of those are researching one of the religious techs. We know that no-one started researching fishing or hunting, since both are 6 turn techs. So if we see someone have their score increase next turn, then they have researched either Mining or Mysticism, more than likely it will be Mining. So if people research on turn 8 then they have researched either Agriculture, The Wheel, or Archery(if they have started with Hunting) Or Masonry (If they have both Mining and Mysticism). On turn 9 it will be either Pottery(if they have the wheel and either fishing or Agriculture), or Meditation or Masonry(If you have only Mining or Mysticism). Turn 10 will have Animal Husbandry if they started with Hunting and Agriculture. Turn 11 will have no techs done. Turn 12 will either have Polytheism, Sailing or Animal Husbandry(if only got one of Agriculture or Hunting) done. Turn 13 will have no tech researched. Turn 14 will have BW done, if they are the first techs researched.

Here is a complete list of tech and their base cost. Using this thread, we can then calculate the cost each tech will be. Technology Research Explained

Team Eagles and Condors started with Fishing and Agriculture, so they could be researching any of the first line techs or AH. I would hazard to say that they are researching AH.

Team Dinosaurs started with Fishing and Mining, so they can research any of the first line techs or BW. Most probably BW.

Team Master and Margarita started with Agriculture an the Wheel, so they can research any of the first line techs or Pottery and AH. So they haven't researched Fishing or Hunting, so it will be interesting what turn the research their first tech.

Team Bowsling/Aivasturo started with Agriculture and Hunting making them most likely to have started tech either The Wheel or AH, since they have both the pre techs for it to make it cheaper. They could also be researching one of the first line techs.

Team Orgyanised started with Fishing and Agriculture, so they could be researching either of the first line techs or Sailing or AH.

Team Blame Caledorn started with Mysticism and Agriculture so they could start any of the first line techs or AH, Polytheism or Meditation. I think they might have started with one of the religious techs. If they didn't then it is kind of pointless starting with Mysticism and not doing that.

Team Care Bears started with Mysticism and Mining. They can research the first level or BW or the two starting religious techs. Most probably started a religious tech, but they could have gone for BW.

Team Eggheads started with The Wheel and Mysticism. The first level techs and either of the religious techs. It will be interesting to see which of the teams get the two early religions, since 3 teams started with Mysticism. It will be interestng to watch.

Team Gladiator's Glory started with Fishing and Mining. They can start one of the first level techs or Sailing, BW and Masonry. I expect them to have started BW as the most likely tech.
