It would give about 16h no ? I'm more used to normal speed numbers and I'm almost sure it would be 24 there.

guesstimated it. We can't chop all of the forests (yep, too few workers, plus badly microed by me) before the city finishes the Mids with its own production. The 3rd ring forests give 16h, out of borders it's 8h. Chopping the better forests pontentially speeds up the mids by 1 turn, but I do not really see us in a race. So I say we leave the forest for MoM. Mids should be 5-7 turns from now.
That way we have 6 forests for MoM, of which we have to get one into borders (2W of the dot). It's possible if we pre-build and whip a monument, whose overflow hammers are also good for the wonder, together with those from the granary. Report of both turns: turn 55:  Hinduism already superated Buddhism in terms of % of world pop. read: bigger holy city and Mardoc might have been unlucky with spreads.   Those fishes sure give him good CY. Building no military also.   turn 56:  Opened the turn to an empty diplo offer from Al. Does it mean anything or is it just a misclick of his? I clicked it away.   Us playing unvoluntary barb defense for THH. The warrior got 5 XP from the fight. Do we put medic on him? A one mover isn't really great for medic 3, but still... THH also connected copper and put a chariot into Nanjing, which is good in the sense that I hopefully will not feel obliged to a war I do not want at all. Both Hulk and Emerald whipped their respective granaries (EXP is really huge in this respect. I would play RtR PRO, definitely). Hulk starts the Great Wall, which will be a little faster than I thought because I forgot the whip. Now the chop goes into the wonder, good. Emerald starts spear; if Al doesn't decide to march in with his WC within 3 turns we should be alright  . TOS finished an axe which goes to Hulk and is building a worker next (3t). GD 2-pop whipped a worker on t55, so we get two ne island workers within 2 turns to give the Mids a decent speed at least. Next stop: Moai.After these queues TOS is still on the happy cap with lots of excess food, so I want to build a settler(4-5t) there. It will probably not settle the MoM city yet, but rather towards Mardoc (pink dot in post#270 - is that too aggressive? We can also move it 1N, but I think what we are seeing are Mardoc's second ring borders. If I'm mistaken, we will know within five turns, because Stonehenge). It's a weaker city than blue dot, but I want to claim that land. Objections? Do you think we can defend it? Emerald will keep producing military for that plant after the spear, aided by a chop for the PH mine 1SW and by further whips. forgot to change EP to Al this turn, have to remind tomorrow... We'll save gold for one more turn, then we should get currency in 4t.
Well pink dot is really aggressive. We haven't scouted our east for now, maybe we should send someone there ? I'm sure we won't get attacked by people right now, we're n°1 in power, no one has a strong enough military. The problem I see is that we're stretching ourselves pretty bad. We'll have to found a marble city soon for the MoM too, plus the MoM city itself (which should be settled soon really, if we want a reasonable chance at the wonder). Let's say I don't have a definite opinion on what to settle now but we already have two plants needed soon, maybe it's a bad time for planting an aggressive city in Mardoc and AlH's face ? Don't piss off the guys with vultures and war chariots, not now anyway. But I see the temptation, it's just that all our opponents will be right on our borders and it's too soon for that, the western powers have their UUs right now and THH is cre and will be annoying.
My point is that I think mardoc's city already popped borders, so the BFCs wouldn't overlap. Mardoc can't gain anything from attacking there if we put in at least a minimal garrison. Besides, to my understanding axes beat vultures, or am I wrong on that?
It's still a dozen turns to calendar at least plus a rep revolt where we still can move settlers. MoM city needs 3pop to whip granary and monument, that's about six turns of growing before we start the wonder, so should be founded when we get currency. I believe we can fit in one settler before that, maybe with a 2pop whip in TOS for the second. If we get late, then we found the filler first. But pink dot really means a lot of land, plus a defensible position long term; we don't want someone else's city there. What do you think of 1N instead? If I'm right about mardoc's city we Still get the incense that way, plus rice IIRC
Turn is played, but not much time to report - good not much happened!
THH's 4-food city we would like to have planted. Also, he founded a 7th city and got his next settler on the way, while our island cities are busy with infrastructure. Hope we can catch that snowball. OTOH, still no marble and his next settler is heading to the mainland, so no immediate MoM peril there.  Demos look awful, I hope that improves after changing back to research.  At least there's potential in that pop. Pfeffi is working some 1f2h forests for the mids, so we're losing commerce there. Going to change back to real tiles once the forests are chopped. Also, TOS is out of improved tiles to work. I think we can 1pop-whip the worker next turn, which also speeds up the settlers. More FP cottages here as Rep is coming! After the settlers I'd like to get a library in TOS because it's getting nice commerce and has quite a lot of food potential for our 2nd or 3rd GP.
Changing back to research + working the gems will bump our GNP.
Don't forget about the Barb city with your pinkdoting, it has incense in its second ring I think. Can you get google hangouts to work ? It would be easier to respond to it via chat instead of going back and forth in the thread. |
