[SPOILERS] Laconic plakonic

[plako]

GA demographics.

I've heavily tuned towards max beakers/gold. Growth/hammers are in the back seat for now although I still build some military units and have the most profitable other projects running (e.g. Ironworks, Forbidden palace and National park).

T229 Trait comparison after firing GA, switching civics and micromanaging:

Fin 250 cpt
Org 273 gpt
Agr 210 gpt (unsuprisingly nochanges here)

I can sustainably make ~3000 beakers/turn with these settings. I'm getting help from Known civ bonuses (when teching Physics ~30%).

T228 Trait comparison. Things will change next turn when I launch my GA and switch civics + probably work more specialists (i.e. ORG will get better and FIN weaker):

Fin 271 cpt (Working plenty of coast at the moment)
Org 229 gpt
Agr 210 gpt

Inflation is 49% at the moment. I've still very few courthouses. I've no idea concerning my nationwide gold/science multipliers. The real value of that 271 is probably somewhere between 350-400 gpt.

T212 - Trait comparison time. It is quite a while from previous counting.

Fin 210 cpt
Org 179 gpt
Agr 158 gpt

Do you think agg makes up the gpt difference with Org through C1 promos + fewer discounted buildings? I guess it depends if you're building the Agg buildings, but the Org buildings are fairly essential.

ORG is the best trait in this kind of setup. AGR is not that bad either. I've fought enough to get pretty good payback from those extra promotions and culture early from barracks was quite useful. Also Agressive might give me a chance to build commando unit factory. Not sure it makes any difference, but goals like this keep the game intresting.

I think the C1 promotion on your chariots in your first war against me played a big part in your eventual position in the game - locking me out of any eastward expansion and giving you a much larger share of the continent than was probably intended.

civstats shows Commodore getting cities from Scooter. That is probably bad news. Assumig there is a war, it might well end up being a long one. This makes it more likely that Mackoti needs just to attack me to secure win.

However it seems a bit like Mackoti isn't preparing to use his Destoyer monopoly for fast strike (unless he changes his mind now because of the Commodore/Scooter situation). He did collect gold last turn and there has to be lots of wealth built (he was generaring 2800 gpt that is more than my GA boosted 100% GNT figure).

What is your absolute max GNP? In your golden age with wealth builds I mean.

GNP is not very good figure, because it includes also known-tech-bonuses and I'm not really sure how e.g. wealth/beaker building shows up there. To give you some figure I've not invested much to build wealth so in case I would do that I would make 2700 + 1000 gpt at 0% science slider. There is just too much things to build so I can't afford to dedicate my hammers to wealth. Building significant amount od wealth is a luxury that I think only Mackoti has at the moment.

Grazy. It looks like Mackoti captured 2 cities from Commodore. This feel like a good news as long as Mackoti doesn't get much stronger than he already is. Commodore's cities don't make a very natural fit for Mackoti's empire so not quite sure why did he choose to attack him.

[plako]

Scooter is gifting cities away left and right. No war against Commodore so it means he gifted a city or more likely couple of cities to Commodore. No city losses for Commdore in the event log so probably Commodore did lose the gifts immediately to Mackoti. Now he gifted several island cities to Mackoti. Mackoti is just getting too much free stuff and more importantly can now focus all his efforts against me or Old Harry. Fighting against Commodore just does not make geographic sense. Not looking good concerning my chances to compete .
