[spoilers] Commodore is strategic in Pitboss 74

[Thoth]

I'm reading the PHB, not sure I like this newfangled ascending armour class thingy.

Top Grognard comment, I approve. 

Last time I played D&D I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.




RB needs an old-timer smilie. 

...Aren't all smilies old timer smilies? I mean, they come from a time when the internet couldn't even use animated gifs due to bandwidth issues...

I was thinking something along the lines of an old geezer shaking his stick or somesuch.

[klops]

like this one?

I'd say all plain 2-4 colour smilies are old-timers. I still consider those shaded pseudo-3d stuff ugly or non-intuitive (although they are also around for a while).
I do remember that overusage of aimated gifs crashed my netscape navigator

That would be perfect.

Slow going here in the Hills of Avalon. Need more settlers to claim north and east, but that backfill ivory spot calls to me with the luxury.

Cottages keep getting delayed, need All The Things.

Hey no Bing attack is a win in my book. Where's the next settler going? Feel like those FP + Gold looks like the move, but there's an argument for the cow-wines spot to the east of the capital requiring less work to get started up.

Wine-cow is going to be easy to set up; next turn Midway's borders pop and I'll be able to farm the floodplain shared by both city sites. Ivory is after with a turn 72 settler, while a settler for the north gets done 78 and either a filler SW floodplains or the island gets done 79.

[Commodore]

Well, Pindicator looks to be mildly greedy here, if that's where he plans on planting...

...but that doesn't really matter. Game's over. Plemo razed Tarkeel's capital last turn, while also settling his 9th and 10th cities.

[Oxyphenbutazone]

Damn, wait I thought Tarkeel was the one that was ahead?

[Commodore]

Damn, wait I thought Tarkeel was the one that was ahead?

Nah, he just successfully rushed Dreylin.

On the plus side this means our northern jungle isthmus should be easier to claim.

[Commodore]

Bing making some...interesting...short-term settling choices.

Might delay our sixth one turn, worst case. Not worried.
