The secret, forbidden technique of Tier 1, finally revealed..?

[mackoti]

The truth is our demos are prety bad considering prepartion.I want to compare our situation with rems ,he is only one with higher power then us to see what costed him his largy army and how much was for us.Our army is huge for this stage of game.

[mackoti]

i was looking in game and with sailing and i think everyone setling cities on the coast i think is prety clear with whom we share same continent(someone could be recheable just by galeys) so on this landmas we have : CH , Tao tao, REm, commodore,serdoa,plako,nyles standish,borche,elkad and dz.

So teoreticaly krill could have like neighbours:Thewanable(which is 100%) , Tsargon and hak(which is underdeveloped and with a shrine).And knowing krill luck this can be very truth see pb5 for a confirmation.Well i still hope Dtay,ichabod or even AT is near him for the love of this game otherwise well I dont see how someone else could win or have a chanse to win .I dont know that much about Tsargon but doest look he does very good and in other game he plays well mediocre.

If you compare with for example or situation we have REM,biggest power in the game), serdoa(one of the biggest crop yeldand science), CH the score leader.and remanis Donovan but he has a respectable power and Hbr construction researched and is not like with 10 and 3-4 swords we would had conquered him.

Did you took the pictures Tao so I can whip?

I've taken enough for overview and demos (not for each city, but that's not as important), so go ahead and whip

btw. I think I want to move the axe and spear by Grozny so they can cover our workers next turn. It means those units won't protect the city (suddenly I'm unsure, has it ever grown so we can take it instead of auto-raze?), but keeping the units there basically shouts out to Donovan that we're going to attack any turn now (and if he roads the sugar we don't need our own workers to move in front of our troops and do so).

No need everithing is covered.let those units there so can reach the sugar tile.I moved an axe and one spear so we can cover the workers.
Yes the city was size 2 and donovan whiped the barack i think.Lets hope he star choping the jungle so we can get a free worker.

All right, time for the big 3-digit turn.
I might add stuff little by little as I get time to do so, but this ought to be enough for a decent comparison at least.

Overview shot:

So, this is our 12 city empire. We tried hard to push our borders in every direction from the start, but in the end this was all we could get peacefully. Well, we have 1½ spot we could settle still, and we hope to get a lot come astronomy, but for now this is it.

Most of the time we have been doing pretty well in the demos, but our latest focus has meant that we've fallen behind slightly, hopefully we'll bounce back up in not too distant a future. Demos are slightly distorted by Commodore being in a Golden Age...




While looking more at the development compared to our close rivals you get graphs such as these:

Score:

GNP:

Production:

If you want to you can also take a look at our building queues pre-mackoti-whips:

if we go first in turn order we can finish alpha this turn.We can offer OB to rem and comodore and ch of course asking some money, I was thinking beteween 3-5 gold.if we fill our trde routes we will have 24-25 gold increase at max tax and somewere near 30 beakers turn which will be nice.

[mackoti]

very nice sumary tao, our demos looks like that becasue we invested in something else not in ifrastructure we could have easily have more then 250-300 beakers turn , with way larger cities(at least 20 pops more) , but we invested for future, lets hope is worth.

Let's finish alphabet yes.
Offer open borders to REM for 4gpt. If he refuses then offer for free (need to move workboat through after it has been built).
OB to Commodore for 5gpt. Hopefully we'll get a religion spread. Wait for him to counteroffer if he doesn't take it immediately?
OB to Serdoa for 4gpt. Need to get scout through his territory. Cancel OB after 10t?
OB to Elkad/Borsche for about 3gpt if we don't fill up our routes otherwise.
Offer OB to CH once we have a work boat in his vicinity (or take a deal earlier if he offers decent gpt).
