Notes from a nonplayer

Lego still doesn't have physics. woot!
Lego is still building Sistine in Legopolis
GoW is still building copernicus

DeepO can relax, we are now WEAK compared to Legoland, avg still to GoW/ND.

[asleepathewheel]

Also ND has built a town on the former RP spice mines, however they still have no eastern port.

DEET!*

-Arrian

* - some of my fraternity brothers at college also used "woot" but oddly enough, their "woot" had a negative connotation, and "deet" was its positive counterpart.

Example: "WOOT! Steals!" Translation/meaning: somebody probably just walked by and stole your beer/hat/whatever.

Deepo suggested growing Arashi to 12. It could take the grass of Monsoon-3 for this and get an extra shield, but either the Sand Storm worker pump gets broke - or more likely, Whirlwind stops growing and should switch from aqua to lib.


It's at 153s, 21spt but could get 22spt with the above.

[DeepO]

was it already on 21spt? ah... that's the result of some changes I made then. But, I would max it out, yes. ToE is too critical for us, we can't risk Lego running away with it. We will only get it if we get coal...

Oh, and indeed, I'm glad Lego is strong compared to us... we didn't gain anything with my mistake, as it was done after the turn was played.

[DeepO]

CH, isn't that 23 spt after waste, instead of 22 spt? Doesn't matter much, but it might save us a turn...

DeepO

[Cort Haus]

21 spt takes 22 turns, 22 spt takes 21 turns.

[Cort Haus]

No, it's 22s after waste. This wonder business gives me a headache, I'm not sure how much more of the intensity to take. It's not fun.

[DeepO]

Once the two science wonders are out of the way, things will get better, I'm sure. It's just too much atm...

DeepO

[Cort Haus]

To keep the ToE prebuild hidden with a Palace, we have to expose Copernicus, and Tempt Lego into stealing it from us.

[Cort Haus]

I'll try showing the Great Library in Hurricane.

[DeepO]

I know... it's the downside. But IMHO worth the risk, we can manage not having Copernicus or Newton, we cannot risk missing ToE. Better to protect that as best as we can

DeepO

[Cort Haus]

No science wonders, no ToE.

[DeepO]

BTW, your save seems to be different than mine, Copernicus was already being built in the one I got, I think in Hurricane. Sistine was in Tempest IIRC.

I don't really agree. Sure, it would be easiest if we've got them, but otherwise we could still have enough beaker output... but we'll need extra cash to run deficit. RP is helping us, but could probably increase their donation, and both ND and GoW are going to send us money... if we sell one more tech to them, we should be okay. And of course, we're not going to sell them SM, but they'll also need ToG to enter the IA, and electricity afterwards.

It would be a lot more trickier, but we should be able to do it... but missing ToE would put us firmly in last place.
