	Turn 34 Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

To be edited by the leaders of the Scholia.

Status:
- We possess 28 gold and are running 2 deficit, with the Settler.
- Researching Alphabet at 100%.
- We seem to have a consensus first to settle site #3.

Urgent questions:
- Where was site #3 again? Is it 2-2-1 from EotS?
Answer: Yes.

Military:
- Slash continues to explore along the west coast, goes 2 next.
- Hack goes 3, Ouch stays fortified, if Tim and Willy don't move.
- Zonk and the Settler go 2, towards site #3.

Economy:
- EotS builds Settler and starts next. Reshuffle laborers to work 3 FPs and 1 irrigated fur.
- Switch Hurricane laborer to the other irrigated fur. (Worker should complete in two turns.)

Diplomacy:
- nothing for now.

How about Cyclone for our next city's name?

Cyclone sounds good for a city. I don't remember who and where, but somebody posted a whole lot of good storm related names, perhaps we should look for this post?

Sir Ralph, a shocking new avatar.

Cyclone is a good name. Tsunami, Typhoon, Zephyr what others could be...

I believe Sir Ralph is referring to one of my posts. Here are the names I came up with one boring evening (nothing like an exercise in vocabulary to spice things up!), and here is the link to the original thread, in case any discussion is necessary. Actually, this link is worth checking out, since alva and others proposed some other names (including nifty German ones).

Site 1: Whirlwind
Site 3: Tempest
Site 4: Squall
Site 5: Typhoon
Site 6: Cyclone
Site 7: Gale
Site 8: Thunder
Site 9: Lightning
Site 10: Torrent
Site 11: Tornado
Site 12: Maelstrom

The game's afoot, eh? I'm impressed by the speed. Perhaps the groups have figured out how to preplan their maneuvers and there is little in turn discussion. When the bloodletting begins, it will slow down. The agonizing decision to declare war.

All visible Voxian forces are the same place as last turn, as expected.

Laborers reallocated according to plan. Hurricane grows in one turn and builds its worker in two.

An alarming trend...
ND is growing rapidly too, but we rarely see any of their cities in the top 5 list, and mostly when we see them it's on the bottom of the list.

Does anybody know exactly how the scores are calculated?

ND is certainly using really nice Food bonuses to REX without a Granary. That's the only reasonable account of their high score.

Good thing we have wheat in the south.
Btw, what's our planned build queue for Cyclone? I suppose we'd want to start with a granary.

THe Legos are (I think) the only civ that has build two settlers. I'm happy for them, as long as they aren't an immediate threat I wish the best for them.

ND has at least 2 Settlers built. This is from the F11 screen.

no guaranty the receiver has read or understud it. But it has reached it's destination.


Sounds like a deny receipt to me. , he probably clicked no instead of yes, or hasn't done so yet.

Sounds like you got the gist. Thanks. Actually, it's a normal return receipt. The "no guarantee" bit is a fairly standard disclaimer (used by some systems but not others) to remind the sender that just because the email was displayed on a person's screen doesn't mean he bothered to read it.

If they saw how quickly we jumped to size 5 after reaching size 4, they ought to be able to figure out the truth. Still, we can always hope. It also occurs to me that thanks to the planned chops, anyone who's watching really closely will probably assume we have a better settler pump than we really do - a 4-turn one instead of a 5-turn one.

I'm up now, and heading to work. Well done, with the turn. It's moving fast, indeed. As for the confirmation message, Nathan, you have this feature enabled too. It's a bit annoying, to be honest. Another thing: Please remove me from your mailing list. I'm fetching the central GS mailbox anyway and this way I get every screenshot mail twice.

Are we sure the chop bonus goes to EOTS? We don't have to switch hurricane to a wonder or so?
(chopping 3 more turns right? Turns go faster then my average SP games ATM )

	17-01-2003 13:19									#29
	Put an end to popups!

Hurricane finishes the worker before the chop, which comes in four turns if I recall correctly. After that, we'll need to prebuild a wonder (or I'm almost positive a palace can also work; I should be able to doublecheck before we need to take action in that regard). Assuming a palace prebuild achieves the same goal, that wouldn't catch Vox's attention the way a wonder might (for better or for worse).

Probably a dumb question, but is the wonder screen being checked to see if vox is building one? I doubt they would, since they are quite paranoid and probably arming for war.


Is ther anymore news or thoughts on who is their neighbor?
