----------------------

Thanks, Tom, for the fun map! It was a personal best for me, despite the mediocre score. After Astronomy, I experienced a craven fear of losing the tech lead before getting Copernicus. So I got to develop a lot of crummy tech. And the whole area from Shakepeare to Newton is a mess. But I did have fun crushing the English with my piddly army while waiting for the apaceship to arrive.

I thought it was a good idea to not rushbuild Colossus at the first opportunity so as to have enough cash to build caravans and improvements in 2 turns each. I wonder if that is so.

I also bribed a lot of enemy caravans, which I think helped - I was never short of gold in this game. Most caravan bribes lost money, but there was always a net beaker gain. I wonder if that is a viable strategy.

Awaiting comments,

------------------
"I fear that I shall die a Prince."
-Edward VII, Prince of Wales

Usually just before completing Shakes, the One City size is 12 and the luxuries tax is required to be at 10 or 20 % depending on the allocation of orange thingys and the presence of a bank. Luxuries at 20% is usually over kill and selling off a temple early can't hurt and it raises more cash and saves a penny in maintenance. Selling a Coliseum at the turn of completion doesn't hurt due to Shakes taking affect. So if you time your money and the selling of the two happiness improvements just right, you can rush buy shakes faster and save luxury tax towards science and tax in subsequent turns.

Concerning selling aqueducts and sewers, I usually forget to sell them I think it's a bad mistake as a Sewer cost 4 gd upkeep per turn. Usually the One City grows to it's maxed out food level--midtwenties.

The purpose of the game is to get to Alpha as soon as possible so population is just a means of accomplishing the goal --neccessary science and tax and shield production to get a ship to Alpha. The score is irrelevant or a sideshow....

Sound like good questions to me. OCC is a game of alternating extortion/appeasement. But you want to be worshipfully allied early on. I'm still trying to balance science giveaway with recieving plentiful monetary gifts--not to mention avoiding developing redundant tech.

AU--See ya on Alpha.

You probably want to have a library on hand to maximize the republic trade. And of course, ya need a marketplace.

Seems like the loss of pennies due to a lower tax rate during this science stint is easily compensated by trib/gifts.

I had a game today that involved spice and two whales and the WLTKD seemed to give a boost to science. It might help getting Republic or Philosophy a year earlier. Of course, I was saddened when the Babylonians got Copernicus built before us Sioux.

Sounds good...

I've tried this map again a couple of times to see how I'd do if I knew where the other civs were from the get go. I'm pleased to say I managed a 1625 landingon my third attempt, two turns before Paul's. This gives me hope that given some luck (and some bad luck for Paul) someone else might win one of these fortnight competitions.

April Cantor: Sire, in order to expand further we must first gain favor of the King

SCG: darn, I've never really got the hang of that tribute thing, guess it will be a long time until i make prince

Except for the twisted tech tree, pretty smooth going . We let the AI tribes have it all up to and including Combustion, and it paid off. I was real cool to get an advance per turn for several turns .
