Adam Smith Foundation: Emergency Mapwhoring Plan

[MrWhereItsAt]

Thanks for understanding Shiber. Ordinarily this would be an excellent plan, but right now we are stretched too thin. We can't concentrate on the war and on ensuring Uber Island is enough ours to go for these trades just yet.

Soon enough, though. With just a little luck.

You haven't observed a French Galley scouting out a blank settling spot around Apolyton for the last 10 or so turns?

[Shiber]

That galley isn't "wandering" or "scouting", it's sailing with a set purpose. We've seen it sail through the quickest route to Persian shores. Someone (I believe it was Aro) already pointed out a likely destination for that galley.
Until we have solid proof that the AI sends wandering galleys with settlers I will not accept this hypothesis.

I'll tell you what, Shiber. I'll make you a bet:

If the French drop a settler out of the galley, I win and you have to join and be active in the $Mini-Game.

If it turns out there isn't a settler in that galley, I'll make you a custom animated era-specific leaderhead set of your choice.

I"M FEELING LUCKY, this bet is open to the first ten members to say "I accept the conditions of GhengisFarb's bet" in the thread linked below.

What? I'm not joining the $Mini-Game! I hardly have enough time for the regular game.
I'm willing to bet though. If you win I'll put "I worship GhengisFarb" and a link to your website in my signature for two weeks, and if I win you'll make my dog (the one in the avatar) a leaderhead. I'll send you photos and everything else you might need.

Ive already said Im in favor of signing a temporary 20 turn peace treaty with Persia in order to concentrate on Uber Island mostly and America with what military we have already.

I sure don't favor selling our maps of Uber Island before we finish settling it in order to fund the persian war :P

FIBBER!
You start HALF the threads in the Civ3Demo game forum, look at your total and daily postcount! You'd only have to make two posts a week to be active in the $Mini-game.


Chicken! Bwuuuuuk bwuk bwuk bwuk.

"You start HALF the threads in the Civ3Demo game forum"
Yes, during weekends and vacations. On normal school days I can hardly make enough time to read 20% of the posts. My high daily post count resulted in the fact that I only joined Apolyton during the summer vacation and started posting then.

Bah. Screw you, I don't like the $Mini-Game and I'll never join it, not even if you pour molten bananas into my throat or write nasty things in really big letters.

First, I'm sorry my chickens offended you, and will no longer make comments relating to your posts. I had no intention of upsetting you with a comical reply and I apologize.

Okay, but you have 3-4 days per trading session to make your post, but I understand if you just don't like kingdom running simulations.

[Shiber]

WHAT?? No, the fat chickens didn't offend me! I liked them. In fact I'm just finishing one right now.
/me spits out a bone.
Seriously, Ghengis, you're gonna have to try a lot harder to offend me, I assure you that.

EDIT:
1. Every land tile, of course (dunno if lakes count). You don't get more money for your map if you've discovered new seas and oceans.
2. Or maybe it's 2 gold per every undiscovered tile (which I'm pretty sure of) and 1 gold for every changed tile. Can somebody create a scenario that can be used to experiment with this? I'm kindof busy at the moment.

Thanks Shiber.

That helps me reassure myself I made the right choice in the orders to buy the Iroquis WM, even if it only cost eight gold, and further would lead me to believe that the Greek/Iroquis island is very small (though we'll probably know for sure soon enough).
