	Turn 80 Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

To be edited by the Consuls and Ministers.

Status:
- Researching Republic at 70%,
- Luxury Slider at 0%
- 126 gold cash, -1 gpt


Urgent questions & tasks:
We are moving the settler towards the site on the Dyes. That site will net us a nice commerce bonus quickly.


Unit movement & actions:

Apolytonian Army moves to medium-high alert:

NM Togas moves 1-1 then fortifies.
NM Mao moves 7-4 over the river.
Swordsman Slash moves 2 then fortifies.
NM DarkCloud (DC) moves 1 then fortifies.

All of our units are now on our side of the border. We will concentrate on farming Barbarian Encampments to increase our cash reserves for later upgrades. Units will stay in cities until more camps respawn so there is a greater chance of respawning (more unseen terrain). Some cities will be used as barb bait to draw barbs sooner.

At this point some forces are being pulled slightly away from barb duty in order to deal with the possible threat of CDG invasion.


Economy:
Apolyton building a Settler (1) - (Turn 5 of 5 scheduled)
Mingapulco start building a Swordsman (7) - (Turn 2 of 6 scheduled)
Banatopia building a Settler (2) - (Turn 5 of 6 scheduled)
Incensity building Barracks (1) - (Turn 9 of 9 scheduled)
Tripoli building Merc (1) - (Turn 10 of 10 scheduled)
Hispanica building galley (5) - (Turn 11 of 13 scheduled)

Mingapulco: 3-10-?? at start, Change to 2-3-10.
Bananatopia: 2-6-8-19 at start, Change to 2-4-6-8.
Incensity: 5-7-17 at start, NC.
Tripoli: 2-20 at start, Change to 2-19.
Hispanica: 11-?? at start, Change to 2-11.

Worker3: 'panag' Roading (2 turns) at Poly WF #1 (Inc WF #6).

Worker6: 'MrWIA' clearing jungle (2 turns) at Mingapulco WF #4.
Worker7: 'Rush' clearing Jungle (2 turns) at Mingapulco WF #4.


Diplomacy:

Well, guys, like I mentioned before, I'm probably going to be gone for 1-2 weeks soon

So, I would like to thank you all for letting me be Minister of Lexicography, but I'll be ceding the task for the next rapid building period After I come back, if I have the time, I'll see if I can catch up, but I've been really busy writing my novel (2-3 hours some days...) and am unsure if I can keep up any more but... we'll see when the time comes!

Good luck in the game.

Oh damn, DarkCloud. A couple weeks shouldn't mean that you leave forever. We need each and every one of you who have chosen to post and especially those who have done something to add flavour to the game. Please come back.

Just a bit of shuffling forces around with the possibility that CDG is up to something...

NM Togas moves 1-1 then fortifies.
NM Mao moves 7-4 over the river.
Swordsman Slash moves 2 then fortifies.
NM DarkCloud (DC) moves 1 then fortifies.

We are Strong to CFC and CDG and Average to GCA.

No barb camps yet!

NM Togas moved 1-1 then fortified.
NM Mao moved 7-4 over the river.
Swordsman Flash moved 2 then fortified.
NM DarkCloud (DC) moved 1 then fortified.
NM notthemeither moved 2 (towards city site)
Settler moved with NM notthemeither

WF and Workers moved as posted above.

Some research info:

code:

Beakers per turn  28  26  22  20  17  16  11


Turns to get:
Literature        09  10  11  12  15  15  22  

Polytheism        11  12  14  15  17  18  27 

Currency          14  15  18  20  23  24  35

Construction      18  19  22  24  29  30  40

More research:

Colors match in-game colors (estimates).

GNP (commerce before corruption):
?, 41+, 36, 31, 28, 24, 22, 20

MFG (shields after waste):
?, 31+, 28, 24, 23, 21, 19, 11

CGN and GWT are 1st and 2nd in both categories. The CDG GNP is correct. (Obviously) Our stats are correct. The mish-mash in the middle between CFC, GCA and CDG are mainly estimates. I put Grenouille and Firaxis as last based upon what we know about them (scores, and Firaxis liking lots of small cities).

I can't really tell from the "number of turns until Literature" whether it's a civ we know that got Literature now.

If the "Literature plague" spreads to our continent, we should inquire CDG whether they have discovered it. If not, we can be pretty sure CFC has contact somehow with another civ we don't know yet.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

The Civ that got Literature is definately not one we have contact with because Literature is still at full price for us (I ran the math).

So all four other civs must have Literature and none of the civs on our continent do so. I'd say that's a good indication that all four of them are probably in contact, if not on a continent together as we are.

Just an FYI.

Yes, there was some discussion about that in chat. Some people thought it was dumb to take that one out rather than the other one (don't remember the name) which is Pop 3.

I'm not so sure... if they really don't figure they're going to get all that much out of this war, razing that one city ensure the city site is open for their own taking... just a thought.

Then again, if they want to CONQUER Gamecatcher, sending their forces that way would indeed be dumb. It all depends on what they were aiming to accomplish, though I agree conquest would be the better option if they could get away with it.

	Suffering from ads?

What happens if you disband a city? Same result, right? (rubble & ruins).

So -- we're not 100% sure that CDG actually attacked that city.

I'm sure they did, GCA would have no reason to disband it. It was a size 1 city, CDG would have auto-razed it when they attacked.
