    Smash & Oldman: Thanks, that puts one important context to Paul's prescription for 2 eng's. The implication tho is that to cope with the costly degradation to 79- (even for 1 turn) one needs an adequate reserve in the coffers or of caravans/disbandable units. Any consensus so far on the minimum, say to complement Paul's recommended 9+ caravans?

    Sorry to show my rust, but can you direct me to a convenient table (or if it's not too demeaning, repeat the figures here) for the number of turns the engineer takes to transform grassland to hills (and other major changes of terrain) required during this transition period to optimise my timing.

    Oldman: Well chosen scenario, contrasting as it does with Vik's previous huge parallel land masses (which paid dividends from extra sea-based exploration). AI diplomacy being one of my weak-points, the close living with neighbours has taught valuable lessons in the nuances of AI behavior. BTW the pleasantly surprising Eskimo acquired knowledge provided one lesson - it sometimes pays to be nice to a recalcitrant neighbour.

    Looking forward to OCC11 - meantime back to the retrospective comparison games for more hands-on practice.

      Tonic, if your engineers clean up the pollution immediately your production will not go below 80. The game processes your production before it creates any pollution, so if you clean it up in the same turn it pops up you will never lose any production.

            Hey, I'm one of the four that got killed. I must be punishing myself by bringing it up. I haven't cived in any form in about 4 days, which is a record. What is wrong with me! I must be recovering from this OCC disaster!

                  oops!! My mind wasn't with me this game. I got off to a slow start, partly because the Seychillion destroyed the Luxembourgers very early and were agressive towards me initially, partly because I got 1 total unit from the huts, and that contributed to the fact that I just couldn't find anything. throw in that I twice narrowly avoided disorder early on for lack of units in the city and then forgetting to grow once size 4 and happiness under control. Finally, I was happily trading with the eskimos but forgot to make contact with them so when they arrived at my doorsteps, they walked right into my city the one turn i had sent my horsie out barb leader chasing, game over... I reloaded that one turn and played out the string for a mediocre (for this game anyway) 1833 landing, albeit a PR for me, even if it doesn't count. I'm still not getting the end game techs in the right order. My first OCC game i discovered fusion power 25 turns after space flight, and since then have had 1 at 27, and most closer to 10-15. Thats plenty of room for improvement there.

                  never did work through this one properly, even discovered I only had a 70 production post robotics, and scrambled to get it up (overcompensated to avoid famine to 87, and lost 2 planned citizens in the process). Had more diplomacy problems than usual too. I couldn't get AI above enthusiastic, even when the emissary was listed at worshipful, and they quickly fell to uncooperative within a few turns so never could ask for many gifts. I even had a worshipful emmisary dissolve the alliance because i asked for a gift...

                    What is there to say? The key to victory was quick contact with the 3 civs on our continent, so we could ally with all of them, and maintaining a spotless reputation. The start was great as we got both Writing and Code of Laws from the Luxembourgers. A good start can win quite a few turns in OCC . Later on, we could trade with the overseas tribes for a couple of more techs than usual in MGE (no Feudalism though).

                        Congratulations! Amazing how much difference just a few turns makes early in the Second Millinium AD. I was comparing Ribannah's game to the OCC#9 best. SG's 1516 was only 7 turns behind, and yet 1 1/2 centuries late

                        Also, there was quite an interesting tech path here, building the university before Cope's and building both before an aquaduct. Heck, she built a harbor and a bank before building the university, and skipped the colosseum altogether, as well as monarchy, although with the techs he got from the AI, so would have I. She practically turned the quick reference table upside down. Its pretty amazing some the techs she got from the AI too - she got to skip a lot of key techs like Astronomy and Physics, and with her internal structures already built by the time she built Shakes, she seems to have been able to make up for starting the main pop explosion later than usual. Getting Automobile with Darwin's must have been nice

                        One other point of interest is I only see 3 total commodity caravans sent out - was that by design, or was it by necessity? with Umnak Island periodically demanding gold, I found the extra caravans gave me several 1-turn discoveries throughout my post-death continuation, which was a rather nice boost to an otherwise mistake-prone OCC attempt

                        ------------------
                        Sleep is a luxury and I don't have Shakespeare's Theatre in my back yard.

                          Well, that's what this girl usually does by design, and not too hard to accomplish. It's the most efficient way to use Darwin's Voyage.

                          In MGE it takes much longer before you get another chance to build a commodity caravan - except when you can exploit the Hides bug, of course. IIRC the Eskimos did indeed demand Gold, but we never supplied it.
