Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon
So we had a fairly eventful turn that I thought I should report. Unfortunately, I'm too annoyed to actually report so what I will instead give you is an overview shot and a few select highlights from my chat with Noble where we played the turn. I'll then follow that up with a quick TL;DR of the current situation.
Chat spoilered for length and foul language:
Quote: Gaspar: i took care of a couple of obvious things - whipped plame, finished the eastern mines
gavagai is roading that plains cottage tile
was debating whether we should threaten the worker again but unfortunately we can'
t get the spear there this turn to do so
k im in NobleHelium: uhm
why would you not move the spear back towards plame
if we are not covering the worker Gaspar: im an idiot NobleHelium: i thought that was obvious Gaspar: it was
i intended to
then somehow forgot NobleHelium: all right NobleHelium: attack sakae with axe? Gaspar: regardless, going to move that spear back to the sheep now before i forget again NobleHelium: k Gaspar: ok, attacking
flawless NobleHelium: odds with the chariot? Gaspar: chariot gets 79.8% odds w/o promo NobleHelium: is the warrior full fortify Gaspar: yes NobleHelium: well
we do hit a breakpoint by promoting to c1, on the other hand if we win without then we can pick up sentry Gaspar: i think id gamble NobleHelium: well
the thing is
we can also pick up 2 exp by killing the barb axe on flat land
and the odds are like 95% there Gaspar: thats true NobleHelium: let's promote to c1 and plan for this chariot to be shock
or c2, depending Gaspar: yeah NobleHelium: and the other guy can be sentry Gaspar: alright
90.4, attacking NobleHelium: k Gaspar: won
26g NobleHelium: nice
3 turns revolt? Gaspar: 84/100
3t, yeah
<SNIP> NobleHelium: whiskey chariot to the horse? Gaspar: explore first? NobleHelium: yeah
was about to say that Gaspar: NW NobleHelium: yes 1NW
zoom out for culture check if necessary Gaspar: either mike or 2metra NobleHelium: or goreripper? Gaspar: the purples are too close under fog to tell
no
not goreripper NobleHelium: let me see
i hope it's not mike
because that does mean bantams is probably in the other corner lol Gaspar:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1832...B16/03.jpg NobleHelium: MAYBE GAVAGAI IS TECHING HBR BECAUSE HE THINKS HE CAN CONQUER US AND BANTAMS AT THE SAME TIME Gaspar: lol NobleHelium: that's 2m Gaspar: well
lets get the contact either way NobleHelium: well let's see
he is sumeria Gaspar: interesting
4 religions founded
3 on our continent NobleHelium: go SW and offer OB? or what Gaspar: yeah
that was my thought NobleHelium: ok Gaspar: fail
fuck me NobleHelium: you misclicked again huh Gaspar: goddamit
motherfucker
its mike NobleHelium: you didn't land next to a barb did you
oh Gaspar: and he has 2 workers right on the border
that we could have sniped np
fuck NobleHelium: you mean we could have guessed that he had two borders on the border
and stopped short this turn to move in next turn Gaspar: no
i mean if i had known it was mike
i probably would have gone for surprise
which means maybe we get the workers
but at least half those fucks
were because its mike
maybe 3/4 NobleHelium: well we can still offer OB as a sign of peace and then take the workers Gaspar: good call
hes on 9 cities NobleHelium: LOL
is that more than gavagai Gaspar: yep NobleHelium: check victory conditions
does he have more pop than gav Gaspar: no
gav more pop, mike more land area NobleHelium: what leader is mike Gaspar: liz
i mean really
fuck NobleHelium: lol Gaspar: eh whatever NobleHelium: i don't really know that we really care about 2 workers at this point
to kill the trade routes Gaspar: i guess NobleHelium: now we don't get trade routes until we get sailing Gaspar: nonetheless NobleHelium: but that's still pretty soon Gaspar: offered OB
he and gav have no deals NobleHelium: any history of wars? Gaspar: no previous wardecs
adjusting to keep all ep on gav NobleHelium: yeah Gaspar: mikes graphs are only interesting in a voyeur sense
so fucking awful bantams is the 4th player on our continent
fuck this game so hard Gaspar: alright anyway
whiskey chariot to the horse?
mikes cap is 2nd best city in the world, size 8 as well NobleHelium: yes Gaspar: and he didnt build henge NobleHelium: ok
anything else about mike so we can stop talking about him Gaspar: nope NobleHelium: because bantams being the other guy is just fucking stupid Gaspar: jsut checked those two because i thought you might ask NobleHelium: k Gaspar: but yeah NobleHelium: well normally i would Gaspar: any more about that and im gonna rage and i want to finish this turn
<SNIP> NobleHelium: sorry i mixed up 2m and mike btw
i was confident about it Gaspar: no worries
it looked more sumerian than french to me as well
but those two are so close than when you're just fog-gazing its easy to mix up
since the border is always darker
<SNIP> NobleHelium: well
i was kinda thinking maybe we should just build the colossus Gaspar: well
we dont have a convenient way to get those forests chopped at the moment? NobleHelium: i don't think it matters
we can easily put the chops into whatever we'd otherwise be building now Gaspar: UNLESS WE SNIPE MIKES WORKERS
alright
colossus it is NobleHelium: if by snipe you mean walk up and clamp handcuffs on them Gaspar: lol
iran
i put us on the new mine over the lake
we grow/whip next turn NobleHelium: yeah i see that Gaspar: so its debatable NobleHelium: mine is good Gaspar: alright
thats everything
I suppose enough stuff happened that I should report this turn, eh? NobleHelium: report =
RAGE RAGE RAGERAGREGRGEAGRE Gaspar: its just so obnoxious
there are three competent players in this game
and we're in between 2 of them
and the third eliminated his neighbor 45t ago NobleHelium: you mean opponents
i'm not sure mikehendi is competent yet but he is doing pretty well judging by appearances Gaspar: im not quite willing to give us competent at the moment NobleHelium: well if we weren't competent then we wouldn't have a right to rage
so take that into consideration Gaspar: MAYBE WE'RE JUST BANTAMS, VETERAN EDITION
<SNIP, TURN ROLLS>
heh
another barb city NobleHelium: where?
i was hoping one would spawn in the southeast Gaspar: 6W of hc
pretty sure we just raze that one NobleHelium: on the plains? Gaspar: yeah NobleHelium: well
it works ok with the dotmap but it's not a strong city either Gaspar: it gets wet rice and absolutely no production
mike logged in NobleHelium: yeah if we capture it we would just be trading maintenance for whipping out some HAs Gaspar: dont think hes taking the OB
yeah he didnt take it
workers moved
no ob NobleHelium: whatev Gaspar: we could just go apeshit NobleHelium: we could follow the lake norht
and then try to get OB with bantams Gaspar: and go pillage his rice
lol
BANTAMS BE OUR FRIEND WE'RE TERRIBLE JUST LIKE YOU NobleHelium: yeah the other possibility is to hang around mikehendi
and look for an open city to raze
wouldn't be surprised if there is one Gaspar: yeah
in fairness
he sees us in 2nd place on the scoreboard
and probably doesn't realize its the emptiest 2nd place ever NobleHelium: well
emptiest second place ever is thearchduke after building henge, oracle and founding two religions with sury Gaspar: lol
TL;DR:
We captured a barb city this turn
We finished HBR this turn
We're maybe think about sort of half-assedly building Colossus
We met Mikehendi, who is our Western neighbor this turn after first thinking it was 2metraninja
Mike being our Western neighbor means Bantams is Gavagai's Western neighbor
Mikehendi seems to be doing pretty well
Bantams seems to be doing awful
Eff this game
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?
