[PB79] Giraflorens & Magic Science -- "Fear+Curiosity Gazpacho"

[giraflorens]

Hhahahahaha, very good that: Magic Science Victory.

But this has made me realize that all the victory conditions were set. I thought we were playing only the Domination or Conquer victories!!!

Well, usually these Pitboss games end in a Concession Victory anyway, no matter what type of Victory is technically enabled.

Miro and Xist went into a new war.  Miro destroyed two cities, Xist has lost some points and last turn they made peace. 
Below I show the graphs.  It is curious that Miro is gaining in Production and Power, and Xist in Economy and Culture. We'll see how end this race.  But now the power of Miro is huge.  Look in the Screenshot the pile of Destructors of Miro.
I keep making units and cultural buildings on the border.  Also I am destroing the old units.  I have a huge cost of Units due that I have no Vassalage.  I wonder which civic should be more efficient now:  Vassalage or Bureacracy.  Bureacracy reports a huge quantity of money in Juneau with Wall Street and all the economic building: 470 gpt, and around 300 research provettes  And de cost of the units is 140 out of 650 coins of total despenses.
The research path is Electricity and Tanks.

Could Xist be turning commerce into culture instead of gold or beakers? Could he be trying for a Culture Victory?

And I think that Bureaucracy is probably better than Vassalage. Juneau is a great capital.
Deleting some old units to save money is a good idea.

He is got 3 cities with 6000 culture points, but I think is going to be very difficult he should need many religions.

Yes, that's what I am doing.  Deleting old units. 

Next turn I finish Electricity and I will try to get the Broadway wonder with the  GEngineer.

Happy new year! .

Happy new year!!    Nice hearing from you.
The game continous with a war btw Miro and Xist.  They keep losing units and a few cities, but they are very tight.  In the power graph (below) you can see they reduced Power, and Miro a little bit more.  Miro ask me to enter a war against Xist, and I reject it.  I think that if I enter a war the other player will win. 
In the Screenshot you can see that Diomede and Savanooga are with a cultural tension.  So I keep making cultural buildings in this cities.  Broadway and Hermitage are the last ones.  And now I am spreadding religions to make Cathedrals (or whatever).
I just researched Flight and I now I go for Biology.

How is Xist still alive? Miro has so much more Power!
Good idea to stay out of the war. It would be very dangerous to join the war on either side.

And Carthago Nova looks really annoying with the Culture. I can't believe that it has the tile 3W 1S of Valdez.


Has Coldrain done anything interesting?

[giraflorens]

They are good players, and they keep winning and losing 1 city from time to time. Now I just saw a Miro's pile with almost 40 destroyers and 15 battleships!!!

Yes, Carhago Nova has a high cultural expansion, but I am fighting it in Diomede. I just made Hermitage there and some of the religious buildings. I am really pushing over his boundaries cities.

Coldrain keeps the pace of research pretty well. He is got more or lest the same number of cities than me, and we go very similar.

Do you have a plan in mind to go for a victory condition?
