Turn 6

[notyoueither]

We have a warrior.

[asleepathewheel]

Is he going to be renamed Grog or something else?

[nbarclay]

I vote for the name Grog, and for giving Grog a mountaintop experience. (Who knows, there may be a goody hut within that radius.)

[notyoueither]

Grog he is, at least for now.

[notyoueither]

Grog will go to the mountain soon, but he will wait to see if there is a better way to go. He will wait 30 minutes.

[alva]

i say mountain, but many others have different ideas.

often the best way, is to toss a coin

[notyoueither]

I reviewed the other thread. It seemed the mountain had the majority of support.

[notyoueither]

The Wheel in 20 (it will shorten considerably next turn; aprox 15).

Pop 2 in 8 turns.

Warrior 2 in 10 turns (shortened to 1 by chop).

Chop complete in 1.

All team scores 30. Except Lux and us (both 24).

Am I supposed to switch the labourer back to the about to be cleared tile this turn? Looking...

[notyoueither]

Nope. I wait until it is irrigated.

The plan, as of turn 6.

T6: 5f, warrior complete, build another.
T7: 7f, warrior complete (chopping done), order another, begin irr
T8: 9f, 1s. Switch citizen to fur tile.
T9: 11f, 4s. Irrigation done, move to next fur
T10: 13f, 7s. Begin chop
T11: 15f, warrior complete. Order barracks.
T12: 17f, 3s.
T13: 19f, 6s. Move citizen to unchopped fur, hope auto-allocation sets new citizen to irrigated fur (will check on this).
T14: Size 2. 0f, 11s.
T15: 1f, 26s (chop done), begin irrigation
T16: 2f, 31s.
T17: 4f, 36s, irrigation done, move to floodplain across river (west)
T18: 6f, barracks complete, choose settler. begin irrigation
T19: 8f, 5s, switch 1 citizen to fp.
T20: 11f, 8s, irrigation done, begin road.
T21: 14f, 11s.
T22: 17f, 14s. road done, move to 2nd floodplain
T23: Size 3, 0f, 19s, begin irrigation.
T24: 3f, 24s, move another citizen to 2nd floodplain
T25: 7f, 27s, irrigation done, begin road.
T26: settler complete, select another, size 1, food depends on auto-allocation (fp or furs) assume fur. 9f. Change to fp.
T27: 12f, 1s, road done, move to fur to the east.
T28: 15f, 2s, begin chop.
T29: 18f, 3s. switch citizen to fur.
T30: Size 2, 0f, 6s (or 8 if autoallocate chooses fur, but I think fp). Allocate both cits to fp.
T31: 4f, 7s.
T32: 8f, 8s.
T33: 12f, 19s (chop done), begin road.
T34: 16f, 20s, switch both citizens to furs.
T35: 18f, 25s. road done.
T36: Settler done, size 1, 0f.

[notyoueither]

Grog sets out in direction 4.

He sees a hill in direction 7-7, and a mountain 7-8.

Turn done. Shots taken. Turn being mailed, shots mailed after that.

[Theseus]

As a matter of interest, have you been testing the science slider?

[notyoueither]

Have been leaving it flat out to not lose any possible turns. As DeepO pointed out, we minimize on the last turn to recoop any excess commerce.

[Theseus]

I just want to make sure we're not overallocated... I am usually a 10% player.j

[asleepathewheel]

Thanks for the email, seems to be an easy way of distributing the new shots.

[DeepO]

Theseus, that would be on Emperor... this is regent. However, unless we find some gold, we will probably need to have one 'commerce' turn anyway, or our upkeep would bankrupt us. But unless we foresee a drop in commerce coming from a size-drop, I suggest we only do this at the last possible moment, so when our treasury is at 0, and we have 1 upkeep to take care for. It should be the most economical way to prioritize research.
