[SPOILERS] Giraflorens and Naufragar [UNCONFINED]

[naufragar]

Raskov, I don't understand with water tiles are you talking about (3f2c tiles).  Can you give me a hint? 

He's talking about building lighthouses. Those lake tiles are 2food 2commerce right now, but with a lighthouse they become 3f2c, which is basically a floodplains cottage.

Also I am making prophets to spread the religion.  But the problem is that I don't have open borders with neighbors and they can not pas.

Don't spread your religion to your neighbors! It's ok if it spreads randomly, but don't give them the religion as a gift.  A missionary costs 40 hammers, which equals 40 commerce if you were to build wealth. If you have a shrine, it will take 40 turns for the foreign city to give you as much gold as you would have gotten from just building wealth. It just takes too long. Meanwhile, you've given your opponents the ability to build a temple of your religion for +1 happiness.

I apologize for being quiet. You're getting good advice from Suite and Raskolnikov. Suite's advice is what I would give: more cities->more cottages. Once you get Construction, you'll want to build catapults. They'll keep you as safe as you can be for now. (The power graph is a little bit scary.)

I don`t understand why I can not make a missionary in Equuspolis.  The city has Christianity and I have the civ Org Religion.  I just made one in this city and now it does not allow me to do another one.  ?????

Thx Naufragar, don't worry.  I understand that sometimes is difficult to follow up.  It happens to me as a DL of Cornflakes in Pitboss 49.

You can have only a small number (I think it's three?) of missionaries at the same time (> National Unit: 0 Left).

I know. It is 3.  But at this moment I only have one!!!

Do you have 3 total Queued up empire wide?

Shrine cities can have gold multiplier buildings (market/grocer/bank/Wall Street if the game lasts that long) in them, that would make your 40 hammer missionary investment pay off quicker. I still wouldn't send missionaries to neighbors for free but spreading your religion to all of your cities with them definitely makes sense if you've got a shrine. As for the power graph, I'd be incredibly worried if mine was half of my neighbor's, especially when you're around T120-130 and you'll have people finishing Guilds and getting knights imminently.

yes that was the reason I couldn't make another one

GeneralKill is attacking Petrapolis.  He is got 4 catapults and 6 units. I whipped the walls and the next turn I can have an Axemen, and 2 other are coming.  The odds are similar, no taking in account the catapults.

[Raskolnikov]

Do you have HBR or Construction?

edit: in anycase, don't forget to promote one of your troop (spear) to medic and attach him a GG if you get one for medic 3.

Just from a quick glance, it looks like Petrapolis will fall. The catapults will hit hard. I could be wrong about this, but in general when each side only has a handful of units, it's better to whip another unit than walls. Good luck!
