DD.

You are kind of right. But also wrong.

What happens is that each of your cities contributes its beakers in turn (youngest first) towards the next advance. Once the advance is reached the remaining cities contribute their beakers towards the next one (that's why you are right).

But the city which contributes the beakers which get you to the advance contributes not just enough beakers to get to the advance with the balance starting off the the accumulation towards the next one but rather contributes all its beakers. So that's where you are wrong. As you see there are some beakers lost.

The wrong bit counts in OCC because in a One City Challenge you only ever have one city and you strive to make it produce a four figure number of beakers every turn. If you only need, say 15, beakers to complete the next advance and fail to turn science down, all but 15 of that turn's large beaker production goes to waste. If, instead, you turn science down to 10% and turn taxes correspondingly up you hike your gold for that turn.

Thanks for the help.

Some of the things in your list look strangely familiar! "Nottingham can't support settlers" (all its citizens having hung "gone fishing" signs on their doors) in particular!

Nice to see that I am not the only one. But being in despotism until 700ad without realising must be a record, and not one that I am proud of.

I think we should all print it out and paste it on the top of our monitors!
Just one small point - I tried a 'perfection' game today discovered Monarchy - wrote it large on a PostIt and stuck it on monitor -- and still missed the verdammte oedo year!

Other items to mentally check off the list at the end of the turn:

1. Did you remember to kill those barbarians tearing up your farms?
2. Did you remember to run down that barbarian leader?
3. Did you remember to demand tribute?
4. Did you remember to rush buy that acqueduct in the city about to turn to size 9?
