Turn 166 : 510 AD

[Cort Haus]

So despite GoW apparently playing the slipperly eel again by not sending Chemistry yet - we received Printing Press from Vox and completed Banking.

[Cort Haus]

Start

Recieve PP from Vox.

Bolderberg completes Temple, starts Bank (prebuild for Magellan).

Sandstorm builds worker, starts worker adjust for +4f +3s for two turns then switch to 6spt for third turn.

Whirlwind completes Harbor, starts aquaduct. Adjust for 2fpt 4spt
Discover Banking.

Monsoon grows to size 7!

[Cort Haus]

Moves

Add settler and 2 workers to Monsoon to take it to size 11 - max size without mkt.

2 wrkrs on Eli-63 road, and 3 workers at WoC-4 move here and mine.

wrkr in Estonia comes south

2 wrkrs at BB move north - either to terrain-MM EotS or add to OG

wrkr from Sandstorm moves toward Blizzard to add in 3 turns

2 wrkrs at Diss-9 to Iron

1 worker from Monsson to Iron & build fortress

6 workers nr Inchoff move SW towards Diss Iron

[Cort Haus]

Cities

WF in Blizzard for 8s this turn to complete aqua and resume food surplus.

Toledo's scientist returns to sea for 5fpt - also grows to 11 and will reach 12 in 8 turns.

Switch Tempest to Bank

Switch EotS to Bank


In 8 turns time Hurricane will run out of food and won't be able to make 18spt. We could assign plains at EotS-9 to Hurricane, perhaps mining it for an extra shield, to optimise build-time.

Galleys

San Diego Cage breaks up and heads south.

Other galleys shuffle anti- clockwise a bit. This remainder could shield coastline as we move aside for RP units there.

Sounds good, Cort.

Our post-aqua cities can grow to size 11 with a temple and no mkt. I'm thinking we want to build libs first, as we'll be going at 60% science, than mkts after, then add the last worker if it's not growing itself to the last pop.

We have nearly 700g for rushing in low-shield cities - or perhaps pushing science even harder. Shall we spend it on libs? If so, should we carefully short-rushing, rather than splashing?

Lego haven't discovered Economics yet, as over 1344 beakers are still needed for it. If Lego were doing Physics ahead of us, we'd want them to complete it 2 turns before us, so we get it cheaper.

Libraries first, yeah, and use the gold sparingly on short rushes to that end. That's my suggestion.
