When Cyber edited my map, he used this as the starting unit for the Inca. Don't know why.

Ooops......
thus it's not a wandering unit belonging to no tribe. It's just a aztec unit belonging to the incans..... interesting! Write a story about it

Sometimes you have to wait a turn before you can promote it, so see if you can do it the next turn.

Yes it was an Incan Jag and yes it will make an interesting story.

Thanks!
I just did my 'next turn' and I was indeed able to promote my scout.

I must say that I really enjoy the pitboss-style! I look forward to every turn! For my part we continue the once every 8 hours for the entire game. Or once every 10 or 11 hours. I'm not sure if I'll have the patience to wait 24 hours for every turn

I love this pitboss game; this is very interesting so far. I think this will get only better and better. The small timer is very helpful indeed to start up the game and jump over the boring and slow start.

Having stories really changes the game. It is great entertainment readings others tribes adventures.

24 hours is the standard. It ensures that everyone gets to play their turn, each turn.

I do agree however that this 8 hour turn jumpstart was a good idea. Not much going on at this point.

Yea, I am definitely in favor of switching to 24 once we get past these opening turns. But I think starting with 8 was a good idea.

I've got a question about how GNP is calculated. According to the demographics screen it says I'm #1 in GNP with 24. 24 what?

According to my city I've only got 10 science beakers. 4 espionage and 7 culture. Does GNP count culture and espionage too? If so, then that is only 21, not 24.

I just checked : i have 8 , 2 and 4 espionage... shows my GNP as 18... wierd.

Seems like there is as formula converting commerce to the GNP number... it would be somehow close to a 2,3 multiplier, since 18/8 = 2,25 and 24/10 = 2,4. Can't figure the exact formula out, but simply keep in mind that GNP is not your total amount of commerce. (the culture and esp we are taling about are not generated through commerce, that's why i skip them).

How much Gold do you have?

EDIT: I just noticed... you're all talking about Gross National Product, not Net National Product...

GNP is the amount of Gold you produce before it's spent on Beakers, etc.

NNP is the amount that is left after spending.

Therefore, you should be gaining gold at a rate of about +4 each... which seems a bit high for this early in the game... unless some of that is lost to corruption and inefficiency - leaving +2 as a good average...

As if anyone would let that be known!

[Pitboss Japan]

i think it would be interesting to see who is the richest civ at this point.

[Pitboss Vikings]

pretty good to have 24 gold per turn already. I gues that means my little city is floundering not even 1/6 of that amount.
