Gaspar, Lewwyn, et al go full Sartre

Oh bullshit, I was a L6 last time. To say I'm a L7 now really strains your credibility. After my harassment in this thread, coupled with the map, I ought to have at least gained one level. What's it gonna take???

[SevenSpirits]

L6 + 1 level = L7, what's the issue?

[spacetyrantxenu]

Last time it was golf scoring, lower number was higher classification.

[SevenSpirits]

Well then why did you want to gain a level? No wonder you're down at level 8!

While this thread may be somewhere between shit and syphilis, Xenu, you'll find no sympathy here.

Gaspar, with his relegation toward the bottom of the list, perhaps it IS time for an update.

[spacetyrantxenu]

Even if the thing you aspire to is unsavory there's no sense in aspiring to be anything but first rate at doing it.

[Gaspar]

Alright, I feel like we haven't played a turn in a long while, even though its only been a few days, so let's take a little situation inventory.




If I didn't mention it last turn, dtay built Great Wall. This turn, Thoth landed Confucianism. Hopefully we get a cheap spread, since we'll need religion soonish and I don't want to spread Commodore's shrined religion, which is our only option currently.

Currency was an enormous boost to our tech rate - we can 4t Code of Laws, which, even with the religion gone is still the obvious next tech. The timing on that is nice, since new settlements won't slow that down. After that I think we go for the HR/Bureau/OR techs, which should end up syncing perfectly with a GP for a Golden Age if we can get a Market done in Eden quickly.

I'll try and do a few overview shots later, but we now have Thoth's graphs, so let's give a fuller picture of the current gamestate.

[Lewwyn]

Gaspar made me play the turn.



I'm planting a city next turn and 4 more in the next 6-7 after that.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Is that massive stack just to guard the workers?? I'm not sure the wealth builds are the safest option with that pile of death right at the border. actually, now that I look again, the big stack seems to be sitting on the forest SE/SE of H. What is your sense of TBS' intended action here? It looks like he could pound us pretty good with what he has massed, at least initially.

[Gaspar]

He's certainly attacking and taking Hyperborea and there's nothing we can do about it. The wealth build is simply to get some value out of it before it moves to Mongolian control.
