July 14th Turnchat

[Jon Shafer]

A very fine piece of work, I must say. 2 hours of flawless work, and we got 10 turns completed.

Basically, we began gearing up for war with America. Many Veteran Archers were produced, and we have the beginnings of 1st Army forming.

I don't think any of us do, UK, I don't think any of us do.

But yes, this is the official save, so download it!

[Spiffor]

As you probably know, some interesting things happened last turn :
plenty of Civs got Horseback riding.
Romans got mathematics from the Americans, or discovered it.

Anyways, here's a new tech whoring project, which is smaller than my previous one.

The project is :

- buy mathematics from the Americans for 165 gold OR buy math from the Romans for 171 gold. Buying from the Romans would be more expansive, but it would give us better relationships with them.

- sell mathematics to the Aztecs for Horseback riding and money. Aztecs are the only ones who happen to have both Horseback AND money.

- sell Horseback riding to the Germans for money (up to 51 gold)

- sell Horseback riding to the Babylonians (up to 24 gold and a worker)

What do you think ?

[Jon Shafer]

Sounds good. Make sure we trade to the Romans too. No need to help the Americans out right before we begin our invasion.

[Ninot]

sounds great, just buy it from Rome instead of USA

continuing my policy of screwing USA anyway possible before the war.

[Aggie]

Great deal! Could you make it, then repost the save. Definitely rome is the way to go. Also anytrades for a worker would ALWAYS be good. They usually cost 23 or so gold. Maybe we could use him to road.

[Inverse Icarus]

thats a good point... should trades be allowed to be done BETWEEN turnchats? that could also apply to changing pruduction of cities etc.

basically, like Civ2 MP, during the time when it wasnt ure turn you could do a lot of stuff. we should be able to.

this will help a lot when i comes to a later age. with 50-100 units moving around, the last thing we need are trades ad city improvements wasting time during turnchats

[Kloreep]

I agree that we should buy from the Romans.

However, doesn't owning slaves make their original owners mad at you? Maybe this isn't the case if you trade for them, but that is what happens if you get them through war. (I'm not saying we shouldn't make the trade for the Bab worker; we could definitely use him, and it'll be one pop point less for the Babs. I'm just wondering what the consequences might be.)

Why is Poly building a spearman?

[Epistax]

For plan eagle, we need units that can defend with our attacking army.

We hadn't yet produced a Spearman anywhere, so people called out to change to a Spearman instead of Archer, so I changed it.

[notyoueither]

OK. So what plan for force construction are you following?

In other words, how many of which type of units to launch the attack?

[Jon Shafer]

From here on out I think it's going to be Archers. We have another Spearman in Apolyton that can move forward to the front to be the guard for the 2nd Army.

[notyoueither]

OK. So 3 spearmen? How many archers? 10?
