[Spoilers] Ceterum Peter censet Carthaginem fore triumphatrix - Adrien + Miguelito

[Miguelito]

Microed a little so we get Liberalism with the last beaker in 1t, instead of 2. The prize is Pfeffi's growth is halted for the moment.
Also started a settler in Verdigris to settle that filler on the west coast. Gonna whip it after Lib is finished.

We're agreed that Lib goes to Chemistry, right?

[AdrienIer]

Yep. And a settler in verdigris is annoying because it needs library+uni soon

[Miguelito]

my reasoning was that the Peas university will be slower anyways. Pfeffi wants to grow, GD needs happiness urgently, so I didn'T see more options. But I will try to estimate if the Verdigris uni really will come last with the settler. We're working some coast tiles there which can as well be whipped.

[Miguelito]

As everybody knows, who gets this wins the game, so does a lurker want to ask in THH's thread if he's willing to conced already?

If for some reason he isn't, I sent him this offer:


...doesn't cost him anything, we need the happy, and he should have more profit from new TR than us. (Moreso as he conquered lots of our cothons, which are now harbours, which he couldn't even build on his own)

[AdrienIer]

Cool !

[Dreylin]

I can play at the weekend if needed; basically I'll play if it gets to my window and you haven't been able to, so make sure you post here!

[Miguelito]

I'm planning to play in the aftrrnoon/evening ( Europe). If I don't manage to do that I'll leave a note Herr, as well as once the turn is done

[AdrienIer]

German autocorrect is hilarious

[Miguelito]

Got a new phone and now its about impossible to change the dictionary (i rhink i have to change the OS labguage) ... Anybody knowdls if there is something to download to fix rhat? On the old phone i could just pick a language when the keyboard popped. Still in Android. And yes, I know, lmgtfy....

[Miguelito]

note how we got the +1h on workshops before the one from Guilds

In other news, THH took our Gems for OB offer, so our happy issues are solved for now (Pfeffi even has 4 pop to grow - still building that market, even if it is only for the gold).
He is stacking his army in Perrier, don't know where he's aiming. Also I saw a musket of Mardoc's

It would be nice to have a GA to change to Free Religion. Right now only Pfeffi has Hinduism (we had just one free spread all game). In 2t more we get the next GP, about 40% chance it is not a scientist nor an artist. I'd likely delay the GA though to grow a little after university whipping and also to build grens with that hammers.

How do we want to research? We can either wait till Oxford's up, but that will delay MS by a good number of turns. OTOH, we would have the gold to immediately upgrade all our units to grens and could try to take back what is rightfully ours from THH, while he hopefully is busy elsewhere.
The other approach would be to just research MS once we've got the gold (in maybe 2t? Now we don't have cities anymore our breakeven is at about 70% ), start building grens and research Optics + Astro with Oxford.
MS is 5t at 100% btw.
