Gaspar, Lewwyn, et al go full Sartre

In this thread: Gaspar takes all of Noble's ideas and passes them off as his own.

Well I ignored it when you said it. But when *I* thought of it, brilliant!

Monsieur Gaspar,

Having reviewed the lyrics of that absolutely bitchin' Portishead video (this one is my fave) I have one small favour to ask you:

Let Noble out of the basement.

Like, now.

[Ichabod]

Noble is Gaspar's smurf account?

Getting warmer...

Noble is Gaspar's smurf account?

Dammit! Finally found out. Noble's my smurf that actually understands cardinal directions.

(Portishead is great. I spent the majority of 1999 listening to the Roseland Live album over and over again.)

Sandbox updated yet again to reflect that the size will be reverting to the intended standard.

You can grab it here.

(Essentially the change from the original is the terrain being updated with what settling + scout moves revealed. I'll paste another link in the 2nd post in the thread so you can always grab the most current version from there.)

Pretty sure Gaspar is my smurf. You can fake personality but you can't fake skill.

Speaking of sandboxing, there's basically two major decision points in the road to the first settler:

1. Tech Mining > Bronze Working or tech Pottery.
2. Second Worker before or after first settler.

The current semi-consensus seems to be BW and after settler. Here's what that looks like:




In this scenario we have:
3 Food improved
2nd city settled t32
TR upon founding in second city
1.5 wasted worker turns (The 1t of road between the capital and the cows isn't going to be very useful in the short-term at least. The one burned between the deer and the cows is unavoidable.)
4 warriors
New city builds warrior to start
1 worker
Hunting, Animal Husbandry, Mining researched, plus 141b of Bronze Working.

If we tech Pottery before Mining, the things that change:

-1 Warrior
+21h into a Granary at the capital
New city builds Granary to start
-141b of Bronze Working, + Pottery

Obviously, Pottery first is better in a vacuum. Unfortunately, waiting that long on copper could be very dangerous. BW may also start to shine more after the sim, when we could whip the second settler. And generally speaking, earlier revolts to Slavery are better since they cost you less beakers/commerce/etc.

Still need to run a 2 workers sim, though I think a lot of 2 workers value is dependent on whether or not there's horse nearby. Anyway, just an update since there's nothing actually going on in terms of the game.

Obviously rather than the stupid road 1S of the cap, we road the forest. Thanks, NobleSmurf.
