No Science Succession: Revenge of the Space Luddites

[Ben Kenobi]

Bloody Monk:

Why else have 'zoo cities?'

Conquer the world then launch the Spaceship.

But really, the deciding factor was how much harder Republic will be.

If that's the case we could have done Monarchy.
Should be fun anyways... I don't play republic often.

[Bloody Monk]

Or rather, WHY have zoo cities??

@obiwan

Whether in Fundy or Republic our best bet for getting advances is by heavy offshore trading. Zoo cities are not good trading partners. And if our reputation is slammed by overly rabid behavior, I think we will have a hard time getting our vans delivered to inland cities. This is not a game for the dark side of the farce, IMHO.

Yes, Monarchy was a possibility; but, it is not so hard as Republic. Big cities (food routes), with courthouses, that are celebrating are easier to manage as the King. Republic-no science will be an interesting experience.

Since it seems that many agree with the statement, I believe the most expressive response to you, M La Fayette, is...oui, oui.

When the Science screen comes up for selection, I chose Monotheism--for Mike's Chapel.

May the farce be with you.


Why 80% lux? Usually there is no benefit past 50-60 percent lux to get cities celebrating.

Good eye, obi. Normally this is the case. But this game is far from normal, as you know. The problem is our two size five cities that are lacking Markets. At 70%, Bessemer needs an elvis to celebrate but then lacks the food surplus required. Hence, 80%. Someone needs to irrigate various places.

Sir Rabbit,

Are you going to be able to play?? I assumed La Fayette would have jumped in by now. If you are back, I can post a zip for you.

Someone should play, I think.

Sorry, busy playing the other one (Nothing...)

(+ I love singing and had a concert yesterday:

Not , but JSBach "La passion selon Saint Jean"

...with a terrific English tenor named Ian Honeyman)

The Rabbit has returned...

...but only briefly. Yesterday was Jet Lag Day (back to USA from Allemagne, still prior to the start of Bush's Folly ), said hi to family, slept.

Now (10 March) at work, can D/L, but unsure if I'll have time to play tonight because...

I've gotta pack and fly out again tomorrow, to Austin (Bush's Fortress) for the rest of the week.

My fear is that, between Quality Time for the family and packing for the next foray, I won't have time to do this right. (Looks like the game will require a lengthy study session at The Institute prior to actual play.) Some interesting stuff going on here!

All for now. Gotta get back to work -- no comp connection from substandard German hotel so I've got a week's worth of email etc to deal with...

will check in later today after further reconnoitering (sigh)

"La passion selon Saint Jean"

C'est très lyrique, La Fayette, il des écoulements justes outre de la langue.
