1893 Session - Vice President's Report.

cavebear · March 11, 2003, 00:13

I played through to 1893, but it is too late for me to type up the notes or create screenshots, I think. I'll try to steal time at work in the morning to post them if it takes too long tonight.

We have Plastics and will have Laser next turn. I had to choose a non-path tech before Plastics or Laser were offerred, so that delayed things 2 turns (Took Combined Arms). There have been a few great trade routes established (2 above 750). The other civs are getting and trading techs at a fearsome rate, and they are putting a lot of ships at sea. We have lost some but are holding our own. We are building SS parts, and have even completed a few; a SS is forming. We have almost 3,000 gold, even after rushing a number of builds, so there is a lot of flexibility there. A lot of cities are going in and out of celebrating and we are up to over 26 million citizens.

how about email the save so ministers can have a look see?

Very nice. I look forward to playing the next session.

High Tower gets a marketplace and an aqueduct in one session? excellent.

cavebear · March 11, 2003, 01:25

File sent. I hope I got the addresses right.

Ben Kenobi · March 11, 2003, 01:41

I got an unknown virus scanner error warning from hotmail.

Won't be able to see save until I get my comp fixed.

H Tower · March 11, 2003, 02:07

got it

/me waves arms impotently in face of information that is probably highly useful if it could be seen in the save

Why not robotics? Its could of felp with produticon!

Ben Kenobi · March 11, 2003, 13:43

Seems my comp is back up again.

I'd better keep an eye on it.

/me tells MWIA to be our new Foreign minister.

but that would mean so many fewer +1's!

Guys ... I won't argue with that!

atawa · March 11, 2003, 18:09

Thanks CB, we're looking good.

But this game is about over, all there is to do now is to build our SS and defend a bit.

Unless we plan a nice simultanious invasion of all caps, that would be nice challenge

Ben Kenobi · March 11, 2003, 20:52

According to our last military poll all we need to do is to sit back and wait.

How large of a spaceship are we building?

It may not be obvious from the screenshots and the narrative, but we are coming under serious challenge from the AIs. They have acquired and shared serious techs, they are putting more ships to sea than we are, and they are becoming quite agressive. It is very likely that we will be in for serious military attack before we can even get the SS launched. This game is not yet in the bag. The other Civs are, collectively, more powerful than we are.

I would hope we are building the fastest one, to use our great industrial power to best advantage. But I think the Minister of Science should be polling about that. There are many options ranging from the 33, 8, 8, 1, 1, 1 (5.7 years) to the 23, 6, 6, 1, 1, 1 (10.9 years) to the 15, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1 (15.7 years.

I know of 8 viable SS combinations. If the Minister of Science prefers, I could post them for a vote.

SCG · March 11, 2003, 21:38

nice to see that we had several cities grow on multiple turns this time - shady trees benefited the most - grew from 13 to 18, doubled production and increased trade 50% in just 5 turns

Kinda hoped that we'd have had a couple more SS built by now, but good to see that several cities are set to build them even without the freight. Why combined arms over robotics? (paratroopers vs howitzers) - is that a defensive choice against tech theft? I'll look over the save and try and get a City Manager's report out tomorrow perhaps
