  • OCC fortnight #19

    Geofelt sent me a scenario where you start on a one-square island with four whales. You are outside trireme-range from the other continents, so will you build the Lighthouse, go straight for navigation or just take the risk that your trireme will sink?

    Appropriate quote from the OCC rules: If you build your city on a hill you can't mine that hill. However, if you start mining the hill and build a city on that hill before the mine is finished you can get a mine on the city square. The majority of the voters decided that you are allowed to mine your city square.

      This is reminiscent of OCC7, the Polar scenario? "To the Lighthouse" then.

        Actually, I went without the lighthouse so far, but then my trireme got lost at sea. At least I got my trade routes done before it got lost at sea.

          Ain't that the truth!

          Just saw this thread. I'll have to crank it up tonight when I get home. Hope number one wife has plans.

            An interesting scenario with again a need to adjust the normal strategy to cope with the one-square island city (the terrain and the shield possibilities are well-conceived, geofelt ) . I took the safe option with the Lighthouse. Only two of the four allies were regular gold gifters. The last civ was not contacted until 800 AD with the Trireme busy plying the initial trade routes, although trade was a bit late.

              We lost one trireme, luckily when it was empty, for not building the Lighthouse. The odds seemed pretty decent (25% accidents after Seafaring), land couldn't be that far away on a small map. We did have some trouble meeting the Spanish because of the accident. The AI tribes were particularly closefisted, even when we had 5 allies (!) we often couldn't get a dime to go our way. Trade was good though, our commodities were in demand - and all overseas, naturally . Got a few more techs than usual from the AI tribes, too.

                I decided not to build the Lighthouse but go for Navigation. This meant that it took until after 200 AD before I met the first civ. I landed at AC in 1809.

                    Well, it could have been disastrous, but like I said the odds seemed to be in my favour. On a large map, I would have waited until Navigation before setting out, I'm thinking.

                    A modification of Paul's route could be to build Hanging Gardens instead of Colossus, skip Literacy and The Republic, and go for Seafaring and Navigation asap.
                    He could probably have traded for at least Literacy and Currency.

                      A "map clicking" told me there was land nearby in 2 directions.So I decided to get Seafaring and risk it.My first load made it but my second load didn't.

                      I skipped Monarchy as this seemed like the perfect one to do it in.

                      I built Shake's first as gold was a little short.Worked out ok.I originally thought I might go from 8>21 but there was too much to do.

                      I did get alliances but only Spain ever coughed up.

                      I got the largest bonus' from caravan/freight that I can recall in an OCC game.2 gold each brought in 1000+

                        Interest seems to be waning a little.Perhaps we are near the end of "Fortnight"

                          I guess vik's away although I'm not sure of the whereabouts of Tom dM and Oldman. What about SG(1)?

                          On the other hand there seems to be lots of expressions of interest in OCC itself. Maybe we should reassure potential starters that this is not a competitive forum, just a fun one with luck playing a major part in the results

                            Well, despite a good start and managing not to lose any loaded triremes, this one turned out pretty average. I didn't manage to get more than 1 alliance which didn't help much and very nearly got hammered at the end when the Japanese decided to attack my city which only had freights in it.
                            What's the secret you guys? Am I just not being pushy enough with the AI?

                              Redbarron:
                              I've had a quick look at your log and the point that struck me was:

                              Your contact with other civs was a bit late, the Spanish in 825 BC and the next two from 380 AD and the fourth not till 1520 AD. Probably you should have researched Mapmaking earlier and built your Trireme well before 1050 BC.

                              The loss of opportunities for tech gifts and exchanges and the slower science rates are obvious minuses that arise from both the lateness, and the lack of contact with the remaining civs.

                              I guess the early destruction of the Indian and Sioux civs didn't help, assuming the second generation replacements were less accessibly located.

                              Anyway great to have another complete the course in the light of Smash's concern about the diminishing fortnight band .
