OCC fortnight #22

[Lars-E]

Good point SG. The correct year for the Strategy Guide is 1996.

Lars-E, Ahh, now I see what you mean by the term demand bonus, i.e. certain commodities always pay better than others, all other conditions being the same. I was using the word bonus in the sense that a 2/3 payoff was a nice bonus, since it is the biggest I‘ve experienced! I was only using the term demand to refer to a city’s preferences at the moment a cargo is delivered. Where I said 2/3 bonus in the notes above, it would have been clearer to say 2/3 payoff.

OCC#22

MGE

Had I known one could build spaceparts before 1 AD in a scenario, we could have landed a couple of turns earlier even, but this was pretty cool and I maxed out the score. Only the Pyramids eluded us, and every hut on the globe was tipped. We could have done with a few more units in the beginning, but Invention staying away for some time compensated for that .
With the tribes given and the Earth map, it was easy enough to make contact and explore. But I don't think giga maps like this are good for comparison games. Too much hard work, we had a zillion Osaka's to undo!!

It took some time , but I finally made the comparison table for this game.

[La Fayette]

I haven't tried OCC yet.
Therefore I used to skip reading these OCC fortnights' threads.
You make me realize how wrong I was
