[spoilers] Commodore's RNG Report

[Commodore]

PS. Thanks for the demo screens. Your dead if he just rams that knight stack down your throat right?

Define "dead". It's pure knights so my pikes in castles will stop it. He can ruin both of us real nice though.

@ Commodore - Can you explain why you didn't settle Colm 2N? I know in your economic recovery section you talked about a bunch or riverside cottages up that way, but currently you don't even have a city with a lot of the river tiles in its cross. Settling 2N would have given you 1st ring cow and a city with insane commerce to concentrate infrastructure. It also would have left Sinead with its own food the whole time.

Colin was settled for short-term getting up fast; maxing forests while fast, and getting another port that can whip out galleys was a big deal for supply, because I knew the more mature big island cities with duns and barracks were going to be churning out land units. I've been optimizing for defense and that huge galley chain is why I could resupply and nail Ginger.

Is Pitboss 64 at...peace?

[Commodore]

Commodore 64 is...

...a great theme that I'm sad I didn't think of at the time.

Harbors are going online in select cities as I burn 2t to Optics. Relieved that while Amicalola is getting some benefit from Bazars, it looks like it's not universal yet.

[Charriu]

I don't understand what you mean with universal

[Commodore]

I don't understand what you mean with universal

Oh, I just mean that they shouldn't push him up and trade route value for every route.

[Charriu]

Ak ok thanks

[Commodore]

Well I don't think 9 cities matters if you have Cavalry or Cannons. The only counterweights to Ginger are blocked by the rump of Gavagai and distrust of each other, making libraries and whatnot. Also, Superdeath is out of slavery now.

Cuirs are just three techs away for Ginger, Cavs aren't too much worse. But those are still at least fought by pikes/muskets...I think if ol' boy goes for Grens/Cannon he can just wreck face if he makes more than five cannons.

[Commodore]

Okay, there's a story being told here. That story is pretty hopeless.

[Commodore]

Aw man, I missed this by a little bit of cash. Good event, though, I took the money option.


Nowfrugger and Amica are still sanguine about Ginger's progress and so warred again. This really does look like a Deity AI plopped himself down amidst us, hopefully he continues to underbuild siege like an AI as well. The lack of lavishly-loved on capitals this game hurts me.


Made my dozenth city. Uninspiring thing, but Deirdre is just going to grow on the cows up to size 8 and stagnate at +1fpt making 8hpt but growing a crapton of riverside cottages. It's not much, but she'll do.

[Commodore]

The timing of Noofrooger's attack is strange to me, by the way, little nervous. Amica just mass whipped castles so he's a nightmare to hit. On the other hand, Now just got Paper and he's burning down a thousand gold on a huge tech that has to be Astronomy. Strong as Amica is, he's extremely vulnerable because something like a full third of his economy is reliant on those three offshore cities. Isolate and take them, and Amica is a huge dumb cripple. Just odd timing.
