[SPOILERS] Roland and Suboptimal Team Up

[williams482]

Last I checked Chinese builder charges into wonders do not overflow, same as engineers.

[roland of gilead]

no they don't overflow. Something i manage so as not to lose production.

[roland of gilead]

you also can't move a unit the turn you purchase it as Sub says.

I think i can place Stonehenge on turn 25.

one thing i could do i improve the rice instead of wheat at cap.

not sure on that. needs some consideration.

[suboptimal]

Roland, have a good Hogmanay!

[roland of gilead]

Thanks very quiet one whole of Scotland is n lockdown.

Have a great new year mate.

Turn 19

In the west I beat on the barbarian camp. I’ll attack again next turn and then stop to heal for a turn or two before finishing the job.

Out east I’ve got a decision to make. I can start bringing the warrior back towards Al now or I can go up on the hill next to the camp for map info then meet the setter SW of the horses. Since the scout was taking a northern approach I think I can get away with the latter.




Roland, the turn the settler reaches the Stonehenge site (T22) I’ll send over just enough for you to purchase the first builder. I will likely need some back on T24 or T25 in order to purchase the rice at my new city – that tile keys the city’s rapid growth. The capital picks up the wheat next turn. I’ve got two debates here. The more immediate one is whether to regrow the capital faster by not working the truffles for 6 turns or favoring income over population. The later one is whether to farm the wheat or camp the truffles. The former gives me another 3 tile at the capital, the latter adds 2 per turn income. Alternatively I might boat the fish, farm the rice and then send the builder over to the other city for a pasture. That gets three eurekas.

CMF’s empire score has dropped a point. He’s got a 1 population capital and a settler on the map. He also completed a second tech so we should consider ourselves on notice as it relates to Russia. We’ll need to keep an eye on the GP screen in a few turns to see if he’s built a Lavra.

[roland of gilead]

Gold is no problem will send back what you need. Around turn 29 if possible i need to buy the PHF at city 2.

you will need an amenity or you will be minus 10% in second city.

I will be doing truffles turtles wheat so no need to chase those eureka.

i could do truffles fish turtles. we should sort out some tactics on Eureka's and inspirations.

TURN 20

I shuffle the warrior and slinger. Warrior will meet up with settler. I have good visibility here so look safe for now. Slinger will go claim camp. I will bet good money there is a great stone city off to my west.



Kara sea which is Russia to your SE Sub.

[suboptimal]

The question becomes "how large are these seas?" It also means that they don't know where we are yet based on geography.

[roland of gilead]

my assumption has so far been we are on NW that holds up so far.

bit more desert over there but unsure it's worth me trecking over for.

again sort that out later.
