[SPOILERS] The Rise of Lewger: A BacoN of Bacon Revenge (bacOn bAcoNbAcon) Bacon

[Lewwyn]

New turn!



Next turn!

Oh yeah:



9t is pretty fast. We'll grow to 6 after whip wears off as well so another cottage to work during this. At 6 I'll start the settler to be whipped after we get the GS. We will build an academy with the GS in the capital. I believe this is the right call because we want a beaur cap with fast oxford since we're PHI.

Next turn we turn on Science. Bacon's library will complete and it will start regrowing on an archer. When it hits happy cap we'll set it to worker and just let it slowbuild while working cottages. We'll whip bacon's granary next turn and overflow into a 1t archer. Then regrow building more military.

With the scientists we're 5th in GNP at 0%. We're 2nd in crop though 14th in MFG because BACON is not working the mine. I plan on having bacon work that mine though soon at 4 pop!

So Ivory next. Then Site C. Hopefully we'll be close to COL so we can use artists to pop those borders for seafood quickly.

Bugger. We got XP:



At least we have a Woody3 unit now and heroic epic is unlocked. Those are both very cool things. Should we switch our plan and go straight for Glib and unlock the epics? As PHI NE would be super nice too. Just a thought. We need Math first in either case.

Speaking of Math. As you can see only 5t. I turned up science and:



We have 2 libs and one barracks which is +5 culture + we have the cap culture and EP. Beyond that it's pure beakers baby. The top GNP is usually Stonehenge and oracle and the religions with all their top culture, but we've surpassed that without those extra culture boosts. I'm extremely pleased.

The nation in the north:



We will need workers up here soon to help get the ivory city up to speed,, but we have 4 workers in the south that will finish work well before the settler is born.



All they need to do is cottage the two grass around Bacon!, finish the other FP and river grass cottage and pasture the horses.

I like how the Earth southwest of 'Bacon!' came pre-scorched.

Also +1 lulz at the evolution of the title.

But -1 for confusing city names... That's a nice young empire there, thanks for the good reporting.

[spacetyrantxenu]

At what point do you guys start naming cities for other parts of the pig? When BaCOn is indistinguishable from bacON?

Well for me I know the names quite clearly. The slight differences in capitalization are all memorized. I guess it can be confusing for anyone not logging in everyday. Hopefully with the pics though you can figure it out if you don't remember.

[Ceiliazul]

I love me some bacon, but if the naming theme expanded to include other cuts of pork, that'd be ok with me.

...if not, I'll still lurk. :-D

[Lewwyn]

Okay I'll consider some different cuts.

New turn and new information. Scoopin have settled their 5th city, gems and are tied up with us. But more importantly I found Jestacore's 1st city:



I'm not sure yet if this is 1st or second ring. But I'll find out next turn. Its a beautiful city that I would like to have. And with our Axe we might be able to easily take and snipe. But that would just make things easier on Scoopin and we have too much jungle between us yet. Now this has all their strat resources and is a good plant, but it is far away from their capital and leagues from their 2nd plant. For reference:




I am in Awe. They have only these 3 cities btw. What are they doing? WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?

Here's what I'm doing:



Building military and growing tall. Demos have us as #1 in food and GNP again. GNP we're currently 9(!) ahead of the rival best. Someone expanded again and have like 70k land now. Maybe Scoopin? All their cities have been land locked with no overlap. A new gems city could be another 9 tiles.

BTW on that pic you may notice Azza has moved his warrior up to our FPs. He's being annoying again. However his power has not grown. I may try to kill his warrior and get another 10t enforced peace.

What you are doing is awesomeness, keep it up! Regarding the naming scheme, if lurkers are confused then our opponents will be too, so I say don't change it . Also, other than playing the first 5 turns and a cool Rambo video it's the only thing I've contributed... So there's that



Edit: if anyone can teach me how to remove the annoying tapatalk as from my sig for tapatalk posts without having to go back and edit later I would be most greatful

[Lewwyn]

Thanks, but just knowing I have someone to take turns with if I need it helps.
