First, they sent a spy to stop Sparrowhawks army production. Now, Sparrowhawk should consider himself lucky he was not producing armies... Except for what happened later.

Then, MJW Sneak attacked Sparrowhawk and took G12. Many Ospreys were slain and the city was rennamed "Berlin."

It appears that like it's namesake, your Trojan horse has caught me unaware of the danger and defenseless. Well met and well done. While I will be happy to send in orders, I see no way of surviving another turn.

Unless I can stop you from getting arimes by stoping Forigen Aid then some one is bound to give you a bunch of armies to slow me down.

I'm 90% sure I can not.

[MJW]

Found this in the rules.

You must be adjacent to provide military aid.

TO CHECK . I think this is correct, but I strongly encourage Theben, to double check the facts I ask down here.

* 10% of 108 gp world trade=10; manually added into thebens calculation.
So theben had 154 gp (100+50 (monarchy) + silk road bonus = 164 gp.

While this is correct, you have apparently missed the part where I only get 1/2 taxes during a revolution. So I'd get the 4(?) from last turn, plus 50 (if not considered Monarchy at that moment) or 75 (if Monarchy), plus 10.

It would also be nice to know exactly where in the phases I become a Monarchy as well as finish my revolution.

[DarkCloud]

Ohno. In that case, last turn MJW only had

(2)(3)(5)=30 tax * .5 monarchy bonus
= 45 gold

/ 2 (because in revolution) for a total of:

23 gold.+the 11 he saved for
=
34 gold rather than the 56 he thought he had.

Which means...retroactively I am fixing his orders:

MJW built-
2 Cities (9+12)---- 21
Which leaves 13 to buy an army;
and researched tech 4; which cost 8
which leaves 5 to buy an army plus his trade benefits. of 15GP on that turn;
Which left 20 to buy an army.

So instead of purchasing 9 Army Units, he only bought 5.

All other calculations are correct. I am fixing it on the chart right now.

---
Because of the 1/2 collection in revolution, MJW conquered Sparrowhawk with 5 rather than 9 Armies; so currently he only has 5 armies.

Sorry for the misinformation.

[DarkCloud]

Theben-

Oi. You have 85 gold this turn. Sorry about that.

For now, you become a monarchy before tax collection, just because it would be a nightmare if otherwise (I'd probably have to redo the last turn due to MJW's monarchy status).

For the rest of the game, I guess that's how it'll work. Next time we play, I think the revolution should only go into full effect on the next turn.

[Theben]

And you remembered that MJW's captured city doesn't count until next turn, right? I ask only b/c I'm having a hard time following your calculations, which could be b/c right now I;m extremely tired.

[Jonny]

Order-like substance has been sent

[DarkCloud]

Actually Theben, I calculated that correctly... Thank heavens.

Jonny and MJW, orders received- thanks.

[Theben]

oops, nm

Your PM box is full.

I can not talk to you in the thread because Spaced (edit: may have) not moved yet.

Please kill some PM's.

Though it is now a moot point, I have cleared some PM's just not sure I cleared enough. I used to have Apolyton Plus allowing me up to 300 pm's. Now I have regular Apolyton which i think allows me up to 150.

I had 324 before it started giving me error messages, now I have 292 Edit: 141 so people might still not be able to send me messages, I am not sure.

The scary part is that he doesn't kill them, he downloads them.

He also does not delete his old accounts on on-line games (like ogame), which is also unusual, but we still like him though.

[Sparrowhawk]

Yep, Nuclear War XXXI was 100+ messages on it's own, all downloaded and saved as a word file. Never know when I might need to go back to an old NW game right?

As for Ogame, I really don't remember the last time I actually played, but it is only a 5 minute load of the game once or twice a month to keep my accounts active. Not a big deal, and it lets me check to see if anyone had unseated Spaced from his long standing position of #1 in Universe 19 (i would like to know who is the longest holder of the #1 spot in any universe...I would think you must be close).

A question on the game mechanics. The cost of new cities goes up as you build more, so since I have "built" 5 cities so far in the game, would my next city cost 18 (6x3) or 15 as it will be my 5th city (5x3) due to MJW taking mine?

Sorry it is taking so long to send orders, I am simultaneously negotiating with 4 other empires on the best way to eliminate MJW on this coming turn and it is taking longer then expected

[DarkCloud]

The new city would be built at the cheaper price.

Since you now have less cities, it will be built at the price based on the amount of cities you currently possess.

Thus, if you capture a city, your next built city will cost based on the new city count you have (based on captured cities)

Does that help?

Good luck.

Hi guys... could I have the turn orders in please; I'm still waiting for;

Sparrowhawk, Spaced Cowboy, EPW.
