Turnplayer Thread No. 5

That was not a smart move by Imperio, was it? Let's hope PAL realises they're planning to attack Templars and stops helping them out.

[sooooo]

It's strange that the hapiness penalty was applied before the tile yields were. Looks like the city became unhappy and the game decided that the farmer working the rice became the unhappy person and hence we didn't grow on the interturn.

As Swiss said in the conscription thread, if we put two oromos into Pink Dot this turn then that's 2 extra happy and we can set to growth again. The oromos can move out when the forge is constructed as that's also 2 extra happiness (gems+gold).

I think we should stay at 0% science for 2 more turns until the confucian monastery finishes at A1 and then crank up the slider.

Imperio is keeping with their word. Rabbits on the otherhand... I think we should cancel our gift.

Maybe there thought they were doing us a favour saving us from the dreaded Templars.

Maybe they should have asked us when the vote came up, what we want them to do?
So much for our diplomatic situation with them.

Not that their 2 votes would've mattered.

Ummm.... we have four hours left to play our turn, and it's the middle of the night in the eastern US. I'm heading off to bed now, so if no one hears from sunrise in the next few hours, we really need to have one of our European members (sooooo?) log in and play the turn.

In the future, we really want to avoid cutting things so closely on the timer. Been playing a little fast and loose with it the last few turns.

[Swiss Pauli]

Seeing as neither sooooo, nor sunrise is around, I'll play the turn now.

[Swiss Pauli]

Actions taken in line with the plans outlined in this and the Sweetheart thread. Jerusalem defence is proper rubbish, and it looks like Imperio is targeting Damascus first. I've got to go out now, so can someone else log in and post up screenshots? Ta.

[sooooo]

Looks like we didn't draft anything, I'll go and do it before Templars log in.

A taster picture for you all, which I found amusing for multiple reasons:

You're right Sullla. I had been playing my turnset during my lunch break, but work has been busy recently and I had less flexibility. I think I should be able to stay on top of things until further notice.

Here's the stack of Imperio troops, on the same tile as Betty:



Swiss, do you remember the garisson of Mayapan as you rode past?

Given the topic, shouldn't that be "slow and loose" ?

Maybe I'm hung over and not seeing all the multiple reasons, but is that a path of forest/jungle cover all the way to Jerusalem?

[sooooo]

I was particularly amused by the two mines that templars had built on the southern coast that no city can work, while they have many unimproved tiles around their capital and a shocking road network.

Jerusalem has one improved food resource, the grass cows which is +2 food surplus, and no farms. However, they have built 5 grass mines and a plains cottage at Jerusalem, for a total of -6 food surplus. All of the other tiles are food-neutral. There's no way they can work the tiles they've improved. All the while they've refused to resarch calendar and plantation those sugar tiles which would at least let them work the mines they dug.

And there's the city raider axeman, the trebuchet ...

[Sullla]

Great work, Swiss and sooooo. That Jerusalem garrison is trash, and along with what we can see in Constantinople, we now have visibility on ~100k of their 120k Soldier points. There are no more Templar stacks out in the fog to worry about.

sooooo, your description of the tile management at Jerusalem is one of the funniest Civ-related paragraphs I can recall reading. Hey, at least they improved some of the hills for our future coastal city!

I should have time to run the Soldier count numbers on Imperio tonight. With their uber stack containing 177k worth of military, that should be just about all of their units (outside of garrisons). I'll be able to confirm/deny that when I run the full numbers.
