More graphs a bit later

Funny that Vox would be meandering around with a warrior up here in the north, seeing as how they are on the brink of extinction and all that.

It will be interesting to have a chat with them! We should schedule one.

Sorry for delurking so suddenly

Sorry for delurking so suddenly

No, prob, you're welcome to stop lurking and start participating!

Chat would be good, just need to make initial contact by sending a greeting message.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Well its not like their warrior is of any use in defence, their probably hunting Goody huts to save their ass. Their also now in contact with Bananas as well.

By the terms of the agreement with GS we can talk all we want just not perform any trade or aid. I'll send them a message and try to learn about how this whole war happened. They probably do not know that we know about it through Strom.

[binTravkin]

Here's the demographics screen:

[binTravkin]

In the GNP GS makes a big jump of 6 gpt, knowing they settled a city, Im wondering if they've got a +5 gold tile and what type of resource could that be.

[binTravkin]

GS' crop yield has made a similar jump, which makes me think that they've been changing allocation at capital - you cant have so much more food AND commerce just by settling a city.

[binTravkin]

MFG goods:

[binTravkin]

Power - GS has a +4 during last turn.

[Chaos Theory]

Looks like Vox isn't doing so bad after all, by those graphs.

[Maniac]

That was my first impression too. I think if possible we should ask them if Gathering Storm has really pillaged all their lands. If not, they could still have a future and become as valuable a trading partner as Gathering Storm. If so, perhaps we should together with Banana insist they sign peace. Better two civs who don't like each other than one powerful one.

Edit: And if Storm refuses to sign peace, give Vox Iron Working. Balance of power that is called.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Oh they look like their in BAD shape to me, lets go graph by graph

Food - Dead last, their pops probably 3-4 pop at most and cant grow due to pillaging.
GNP - Modest so I suspect their along a river
Hammers - Dead last again
Power - The stair steps look their poping out archery after archer just as you would expect in this situation. Only Bananas who have ignored units (and are incompetent) are lower on Power.

I think this score graph coroborates Storms story quite well and even if they are able to hang on for a bit longer their still doomed in the not to long run.

[Maniac]

Okay good point. I was relying a bit too much on the power graph. Still, until they get catapults and elephants, I don't think Storm has any chance to capture the Vox capital.

Perhaps we should ask Storm when they expect to get Mathematics (or do we already know that?) and based on that figure out their ETA for Construction?

Perhaps send Storm and Banana a mail telling we'll get Alphabet in 14 turns, and ask how their progress towards Sailing and Math is going?
