  • Imperio do have Music (they got it in the Engineering deal with Pal), but would Culture in Uxmal actually help?

    Comment


    • Yes, Imperio does have music.

        It could be building units every turn, perhaps with overflow from a whip or chops, perhaps cheap units like spies, perhaps by returning to previously paused build orders. Unfortunately that's a lot of possibilities to read through a C&D lens.


        Digger's Burrow = 7h (-48) A 60h unit. A worker?
        Infrastructure: Barracks, Monument, Granary, Walls
        Phrygian = 2h (-19) An archer I guess.
        Infrastructure: none
        Remember that any change from a larger hammer number to a smaller hammer number without spending a turn at 0 hammers must be a build swap. Digger's Burrow must have either finished the 55h item and resumed a previous 7h build (more likely), or else paused the 55h item and put one turn into the current 7h build.

          That seems to be an unit upgrade from Templars, as I don't think their little civ can burn through that much cash in one turn at 100% science.

          Foreign production.

          Jericho = 80h (+18)
          Infrastructure: Walls
          Acre = 0h
          Infrastructure: Monument

          Jerusalem finished a 70h unit = mace.
          Jericho is building something with a double modifier. Could be a forge. A castle is unlikely, as I don't hink Templars have stone ("Their" stone is still unclaimed east of SF).
          Damaskus finished a unit in the 70-80h region = mace.
          Acre finished a unit in th 25-30h region.

          Lakamha, another mace probably.

          Byblos got double whipped last turn, and we see a forge.

          Infrastructure: none

          Not sure why there was no change for Banapolis.
          Anyway, prior to Moai, they only made 3hpt. Not really a surprise, as we knew about their watery start from C&D but still, an impressive infrastructure for such small production.

          • @M_H - Templars upgraded a CR Sword to a Mace.

                Templars spent a turn in anarchy.
                I venture a careful guess that Templars output ~38hpt when on military units. This is excluding Constantinople of course.

                Infrastructure: Monument, Library, Barracks

                I venture a careful guess that the whole of the Imperio civ outputs around 70hpt. If all of it is steered towards military units (which we should assume), Cape Town cannot cope.

                I have to correct my statement from last turn. There is on of those unusual stone on a grassland tiles, so Banapolis had a bit more production than 3hpt prior to Moai.

                      • Question:
                        As these stats take ages to analyse, is there actually anyone reading it?
                        What is useful?
                        What could I leave away?

                        • Congratulations to Imperio for building their first forge . Have templars honestly not built a single granary yet? Even for them ...

                          With PAL getting nationalism next turn we should be on the lookout for which city they are building the Taj Mahal in. Watch out for whips this turn to overflow into the wonder. If we can't detect it, we should ask banana to give us the data for the other cities.

                          Also we can see into Banana Split now.

                          • Terraces are their UB replacing the granary. They have 3 of them.

                            Banana Split is already included.

                            • I read it too.

                              With Templars having Apostolic Palace, they can try stop the war with a vote. I think we can defy for -5 in Pink, our only Christian city. Is this correct?

                              And maybe Imperio is trying to sucker us onto them for double WW from Statue of Zeus? I've no idea how effective this wonder could be in the context of this game. Anyone have an idea?

                                Yes, I read it, it's very good.

                                Ahhhh, fair enough.
