Lizzy's rise to greatness

[mzprox]

Seems RNG hates us.. we lost the battle against the barb despite having 80% chance to win. The barb has only 0,2 str left so apollo will kill it and move back to the city, but now our defense in the west is too thin..

[Hercules]

Can we have more screensaves?

Also since DNK is not reporting in as much on intell issues. Although there is not much to report on I admit.

I request rights to turn access .

[DNK]

What am I supposed to report on right now? Throw up a few screens of the demo screens and we can comment as mz did last time on likely builds and what they're up to.

[Dinner]

Some sort of info would be nice.

[Ben Kenobi]

Chariot it fine. What else do we need for Hamaans after Math?

[mzprox]

I can't log in now, but will finish turn after played a few tests in the afternoon. I could had posted some pictures, but really you can look at previous turn's report, not much happened besides what i've said (the barb killed our defender and occupies the goldmine)

About intelligence reports: I do some time to time, mostly the interesting stuff about our position, who possible got wonders/religion etc), but I won't do extensive reports, that I thought would be the 'job' of our intelligence advisor. I spend a lot of time figuring out what to do in micromanagement.

I sent our civ's pw to Ozzy and Cal and let the captain decide who else should be allowed to have it. Since Ozzy is not around I will send the pw to Herc as well, and to DNK too, as I'm not sure he has it at all. (for names use H and D respectively after Lizzy when you log in and please be carefull not to change anything)

Btw I would like to be the turn player for about 15-20 turns, after that Cal might take it if He wants and we can change again later

I'm still wondering what the heck is going on with diplomacy. Have we done anything other than the initial hello letter to the Aztecs? I know several people have asked but I still haven't seen a straight answer though maybe I missed it or something.

BTW I'm for Iron working next and then we NEED a religion so what else would it take to get Code of Laws? Not only will that get us a religion but it will allow us to build courts which will greatly lower costs.

Pop into the Diplo thread and post agree with proposals then Robert will have enough approval to proceed with drafting response to ahemm the Inca.

We need Masonry for Hammans.

Btw about intelligence: call me paranoid, but i think the reason the RB team logs in about 10 times in each turn is to monitor the changes in gnp/production and by seeing who was online and when, they can tell exactly for any civ how much production (food/hammer) and gnp they have.


i don't really like the iea of early iron working since it's an expensive technology with a good chance to have no use at all (if no iron around)
I'd rather get archery and go on the monarchy/feudalism way to get longbwoman if needed.

[Ben Kenobi]

Ok, then my vote is for Masonry then go the religion route after Maths.

pictures from current turn,

As you can see there are 3 brabarians threatening our cities. The capital's defense is good, chariot is in 2 turns.

On the west we need to decide how to defend. The only defender is diomedes with combat I promotion.

some of the options:

A we move dio on the hill and hope the the barbarian will attak (not moving on the pig for example) and that we win ofc (79%). for safety it is required that we start building an other warrior in the city which we finish only if needed

B we wait inside the city. the barb will probably move on pig, if it does we attack it in open field (~60% chance to win) . in this case too we start building a warrior.

C is that we do something with chopping, but it would be a pre mathematics chop, so only 20 prod instead of 30, but we could finish a chariot instead of warrior. one way to do it is to start building a chariot and start chopping. next turn barb moves on pig, we attack it and pray. if we lose we finish chariot next turn by chopping. pig would be lost, but that's always happens if we lose. If we win however we don't need to finish the chariot just yet (before the lib, but plan was anyway to build one after library). And workers can build a mine instead as it was original plan (no actual worker turn would be lost)

other ideas are welcome

[Ben Kenobi]

I vote option A.

[mzprox]

I also think we should try option A, but I will do some testing to see how often the barb would attack instead of going for the pig.

[Hercules]

Ok go for option a

I'd be ok with this. Though I would really like to go after code of laws way before monarchy or feudalism. I want a religion.
