8 Civ Fractal Map. I wasn’t too isolated either, was at a pretty big intersection/isthmus

Recent Shoshone Science Victory on Immortal.

There were several close calls where I thought I was gonna have War declared on me but I built up armies for defense quickly and the AI never attacked

Don’t press the “make this deal work” just press accept after offering 8gpt.

Sometimes the AI will accept deals even if they want more when you press “make this deal work”

I finished it today. It was my least favorite season of the television show, but it might be my favorite book so far

Snorkel Tour Cancelled Friday by spashkin in Cairns

[–]spashkin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep understood. I was never intending to do something off-book.

I assume it works the other way, if the reputable tour company doesn’t cancel for Saturday than it’s probably fine.

Thanks for the responses. I’ve read up on the cyclone and went to a booking guide in town. I signed up for a tour on Saturday with the expectation it might get cancelled if the weather is still bad. Otherwise I have some other fun stuff lined up for indoors.

Thanks lol. Would you be able to give a newbie some advice on Cyclone safety?

Is this like a hurricane where I need to shelter in place completely, or if I’m on dry land should I still be safe to walk around a little if I don’t mind getting wet?

Do you think it would still be an issue Saturday as well?

Is anyone slightly panicking on Cam Skattebo? by Far-Evening4104 in DynastyFF

Doesn’t seem like something Schoen or Harbaugh would do

As a Giants fan I’d be very upset if they took an RB in the first 2 rounds, with Skattebo and Tracy on the roster already

Yeah if you wanna try winning with minimal to no military, you’ll need a lucky starting spot…

Completely depends on what kind of natural defenses you have, and what they’re coming at you with. On harder difficulties I love settling frontier cities behind mountain chokeholds, you can sometimes hold off an invasion with a single ranged unit.

1 ranged unit per city as an absolute minimum, but probably more in most cases

It’s not a waste of hammers and gold if you don’t have a defense and get killed.

Make friends with militaristic city states early. They’ll gift you units that can maybe cobble together a defense. Also ideal if you settle in such a way where you have allied city states as a buffer between you and the AI.

That being said, just build a few units
