Oh i didnt see you said this, i was writting the other thing and didnt get notification.
So Leilani, fleur, Marguerite, for exemple, they are either not english or not a flower. And thats kind of what i was talking about, im not sure if i should use some french/spanish flower names for exemple or maybe i should just put english flowers although they are not used as name.
On this list i see Cassia, Dahlia, Erica, Aster, Bryony, Primrose, Holly, Ivy and Sage which are nice flower names. I apreciate this names Charriu, i hope with this many i have enough for the game or my brain will melt in micro hehehe

And I was thinking i was done with flower names.....
Thank for all your imput.
Ive got home and now i can make a better report for you.
This is an overview of the empire, it has really small cities yet than cannot really make anything yet, but everything looks good for a peaceful developement, although being the neighbour of 2 of the worst civilizacion might be asking for a more agressive play. So next turn ill be choping some HA in Marigold and hopefully some other cities too, at least Heather will build one, and probably will try some on Iris too, so not more than 5 or 6 HA and the stack i used to threat josh. So about 7 or 8 one movers too, some chariots too. Its not going to be huge but i have a chariot on Bings land and rekenner has so many units next to his copper and buddism city, i dont expect much resistence, and i really hope Bing wants revenge and if rekenner retreats bing goes for him. I think we can split rekenner in half, so i get the 2 best cities and he gets the 2 worses, but the 2 i get will allow me to build another 3 or 4 in his south so my gains will be greater. Im trying to tell him im going to help him with rekenner with copper war with everyone else- copper war rekenner. My plan is being able to invade him in less than 5 turns, but im not really sure if ill make it fast enough or not. I think i can get currency in 7 turns being pessimistic, with all the speciallist i get it in 2 and half so i guess ill need at least 3 saving gold turns and 3 turns to get it without caste. I would like to atack in 5 turns, so that i can turn into caste again after those 5 turns of whiping, and getting research done again. I am really amazed of how good its running merch with REP.
Demos looks really nice, GNP is crazy, just with 1 pre and 0 KTB, being up to the 4 best with 15 speciallist around the empire in food and hammers its really nice, i want to see next turn with slavery how it looks like but i guess i should be decent on those too. If you look the graphs its clearly seen the caste use on the food and prod graphs, but they are still competitive.
Im warning jesse that josh has iron so that means praets going there fast, i think he should burn cities and retreat if possible, and try to defend with axes, although archers are decent since he is PRO, josh is getting construction in 2 turns so he is getting 100% jesse, so i would want to snipe at least a couple of cities. so that i get some profit of the 2 neigbours i have, but having 2 borders, with josh and bellarch is going to be crazy to defend. I really need to look less atractive for them and show decent amounts of diplo skills, although im unsure if i have those.
On the EPs, im getting now tech vision on Jack, so that i get it fromt he 3 best civs of the moment, in case Bing is able to comeback to the game if we are able to split up rekenner ill put some more in him, but otherwise ill just split the Eps between my neighbours which are josh and bellarch after i get tech vision on jack, ofc.
And finally i want to ask lurkers for some micro opinion about Moai, not sure if you are allowed to help me with this but if you are, it would be really nice to see your thoughts.
I think there is 3 cities good for Moai: Daisy, Orchid and Poppy. (detail pics below) The first one will get a forge and has 4 lake tiles and 3 coast tiles so 7 tiles where moai could be used. It has decent land too so not as much needed, it could build it fast, i would say, around 25sh hammers per turn (with bonnus applied) and a bit of whiping overflow, it should be done easy. ORchid, it has the most amount of coast of the empire, crap land that wont be used for long, but no hammers at all, it would take ages to make Moai there, just by whiping overflow, so around 5 whiping overflow if the first of those is a forge. And finally Poppy, this was a clear speciallist city on my head, having 15 food on 3 tiles is a lot (although 2 of those are shared with lavander) wich means its able to feed a lot of merch/scientists, so getting Moai is not as usefull unless i try to make lavander as the speciallist city and i work jsut sea tiles with Poppy with the Moai, it has 8 tiles of sea wich is decent and several forest than can be chopped down to speed it up.

Instead of getting speciallist? I felt working tundra is "never" worth

Turn 102
To start with, im on slavery this turn and 3 whiped a city adn 2 whiped another one. And look this demos, arent they pretty? i didnt expect to be as good on hammers and food, next turn im 3 whiping again and so it will be this 5 turns of slavery but i feel in a really nice possition. those 8gpt are being important. I get currency in 3 turns full steam, which i need 150g for that, so after this 100% turn ill be 1 turn 0% and then 3 turns full steam and it should be okey to get currency.
Josh sent me this diplo this turn which i found really pretty, i guess this means we are besties now and his enemy is bellarch, i guess he sent him OB with some gpt too since i guess he saw me, but its fine he gets better and now it seems i can trust rome, which has been my nemesis in some other games xD.
Im pretty sure i can atack in 4-5 turns and i think ill have enough units to get the 2 cities of rekkener without much trouble if im lucky and he whips some pop this couple of turns. I tried to tell bing, but since i have no currency yet its pretty hard. i asked him 5 resources this turn, then 4 things next turn, and so on. Maybe he figures it out. Also copper war vs all-copper war vs rekenner.
Next turn i get tech vision of jack, who i think finished calendar this turn, since mjmdbellarch took IW and josh is trying to get construction. Jesse took his dye city with a couple of chariots and a couple of ARCHERS! and burned it. I really hope he is figuring out that praets are going for him with a lot of anger. I think he cannot do much actually, i have to think if making another small stack for Jesse or not. I would like to get at least 2 cities, and if i could resettle in the spots i have signed it would be great. they are closer to me and fills better, although they are not on hills.
Im making 87h OF this turn on the forge (155/120+52h this turn), so i guess next turn they will get greater, i think this 87h get divided by 1.25 (beacause of OR) and then they will be multiplied by 2 (25%OR, 25% forge 50%copper) on colossus. Which should be 139,2h that i guess got rounded down, so its actually more than half colossus. Then i got 16 base hpt that got the same bonnus (x2) so 32hpt and another chop that is also multiplied by 2 which is 48h in total. So next turn ill have 139/250 and will make 80h (32h+48h) so 219h EOT103, and the 32 hammers of next turn and its done EOT104. Am i right?
This is the rekenner and Bing's front, none of them moved this turn, it will be interesting to see how everything will end up. I think Bing is holding. But i really wish rekenner try to get it. Maybe rekenner is getting Mateship, i didnt see which are the forces of Bing there. He is definitely not getting Power Process since Bing has 5 units there and rekenner just 4.

Yeah your overflow math sounds right.

I'd pick Daisy too, as it has water tiles it actually wants to work. Moai'd lakes are yummy!
Also, as civac says, try to avoid chopping tundra forests whenever possible, lumbermills (or possibly windmills) are by far the best use of those tiles.
Edit: Overflow math is almost right; it will get divided by 1.5 (OR+forge), which is why overflowing forges is best avoided. Probably worth it in this case though.

I would also have gone for Daisy for everything the others said, but especially because it can build Moai quick making it a faster return of investment.
