Empire of the Bluffs?

Yes, there was a minor opportunity cost, but I'm confident the wonders will have paid for themselves very shortly.

The Wall certainly will since the Barbs are starting to get frisky!

It's due to the heavily increased tech costs. You won't have much competition from people that don't start with mysticism--it's so expensive here.

I'd guess he got lucky and popped Masonry as well....

Yeah, I know what a bluff is... just seemed a very random comment.

Wow. I just finished building a mine, and the very same turn it popped a resource.

Never had that happen before...

Oh you definitely need to be crushed!!!

**emperor** · 04-29-2009, 10:46 AM

Meh. My start kind of sucks a bit, so I reckon I deserve a few breaks.

Not random, very pointed. My crystal ball told me that your Empire features a lot of steep headlands, promontories, riverbanks, and cliffs ...

FYI, reason I haven't done my turns in a a few days is because I'm having computer problems. It could be days before I'm back. :/

If you need to be turned over to the AI then just let me know.

And just a smattering of Wonders. Stone in the BFC by any chance?

**emperor** · 05-14-2009, 06:32 PM

Nope.

I'd be interested to know where I'd stand if the NoScore mod wasn't operating. My guess is I'd be in the top half of the table, but probably not at the top. My standing is kind of exaggerated due to the mod - I'm not really doing four times as well as everyone else.

Is Shaq Zora still playing or on vacation

**Niklas** · 05-15-2009, 07:31 AM

@emperor: With 3 early wonders, I expect you would be at the top even without the mod. Each wonder is 16 points, each (ancient) tech roughly 6 points, but with a huge map the land and pop compontents are typically small, I would guess 1 point per pop and 1 point per 4 land tiles. I doubt the tech disparity is that large at this point, so your 3 wonders giving 48 points would probably put you up there regardless.

@millcc: Check Shaq's message a few posts above yours.
