Pootifier: ok cool

Pootifier: adding two AI

Pootifier: so you can see what they do

Pootifier: here's the skinny

Pootifier: first will be a plot selection

Pootifier: the only keyboard you use is arrows and spacebar

Pootifier: spacebar for plot selection, arrows to move your dude around

Pootifier: you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly

ubfwins: mk

Pootifier: but you basically choose a plot, then sometimes they auction a plot

Pootifier: and then when it's your turn, you will grab a mule, outfit it with something, like food or whatever

Pootifier: and take it out to your plot and press spacebar to drop it off

Pootifier: then come back and go to the pub or whatever

Pootifier: you can assay plots to see their mineral content (this is for Chrystite)

Pootifier: think diamonds

Pootifier: or whatever

Pootifier: there's a beeping thing that pops up, called the "Wampus" that you can go catch for 100 bucks or whatever

Pootifier: find him, stand on him and press space bar

Pootifier: just takes some time to get through things

Pootifier: this is a practice game that is 6 turns long

ubfwins: hm hm

Pootifier: you'll get the hang of it

Round 1 of 6

Pootifier: mountains are good for smithore

Pootifier: push up to buy

Pootifier: get energy

Pootifier: for flat plot

Pootifier: far right

Pootifier: yea

Pootifier: other one

Pootifier: sorry

Pootifier: dang it lol

Pootifier: thought you had flat plot

Pootifier: sorry

Pootifier: it's fine

Pootifier: we're just teaching ya

Pootifier: the trench plot is good for food

Pootifier: try to remember what the crystite assay is finding

Pootifier: end game is all about crystite mining

Pootifier: oh nice, energy up for you

Pootifier: so, you have to have energy to run your machines

Pootifier: except for energy plot

Pootifier: it doesn't need it

Pootifier: chrystite price is random

Pootifier: everything else is supply/demand

Pootifier: you don't need it

Pootifier: since you produced a bunch

Pootifier: you can actually sell some

Pootifier: if you wanted, usually you'll keep most of it

Pootifier: hang onto it

Pootifier: uh oh, i'm in last place

Pootifier: but that can be good some times

Pootifier: because whoever is in last place takes ties

Pootifier: for plot choice

Round 2 of 6

Pootifier: plots together are good

Pootifier: nice

Pootifier: you can swap out both plots to smithore and do well

Pootifier: actually, you'll run out of time

ubfwins: which is smithore?

Pootifier: just buy a mule and smithore bring it to the mountain

Pootifier: second from the left

Pootifier: put it on your mountain, then move that up to your new plot

Pootifier: it will swap it out

ubfwins: one that looks like options cog menu thing

Pootifier: yeah

Pootifier: gotta go fast though

Pootifier: up

Pootifier: bacv

Pootifier: doh

Pootifier: you wanted to just move it to the other plot

ubfwins: i thought you said on the mountain

Pootifier: it's ok

Pootifier: just take some time to get used to what's going on, that's why this is a training game :)

Pootifier: very nice smithore

Pootifier: oh wow, all the store stock is gone

Pootifier: food will be shortage

Pootifier: we need food for time

Pootifier: no food = no time

ubfwins: i see

Pootifier: good plan

Pootifier: i'm out of money

Pootifier: but buying 1 extra food is good strategy

Pootifier: since 50% will rot

Pootifier: 1 extra won't rot

Pootifier: 25% of energy will rot

Pootifier: so you can hold 3 extra without loss

Round 3 of 6

Pootifier: the AI can be sneaky

Pootifier: jump up at last second to snag auction from you

Pootifier: etc

ubfwins: word

Pootifier: price of smithore is going to go through the roof

Pootifier: since the store lost all stock of everything

Pootifier: do as much as you can to smithore this turn

Pootifier: even your flat spot

Pootifier: if you have time

Pootifier: nice, best built :)

Pootifier: nice, needed that money

Pootifier: press space to speed it up

Pootifier: if you want

Pootifier: oh no

Pootifier: well that sucks lol

Pootifier: don't sell

Pootifier: price will go up to 230

Pootifier: next turn i think

Pootifier: you are in last, so you get first dibs on plots now

Round 4 of 6

Pootifier: price of land will match the last sale price, roughly

Pootifier: so if you overbid heavily, it affects the next sale

Pootifier: you get to go first before the mules are in short supply

Pootifier: mules

Pootifier: nice

ubfwins: hmm hmm

Pootifier: ran out of money/time

Pootifier: shouldn't have waited for the wampus, that was a mistake on my part

Pootifier: oh well

Pootifier: if you are not in first or second, the random events will always be positive for you

Pootifier: first place, always negative

Pootifier: nice, sell

Pootifier: mules will be super expensive now

Pootifier: 2x185

Pootifier: smart to keep the 1

Pootifier: unless food goes crazy price

Pootifier: i'm gonna switch to all smithore

Pootifier: so i need extra energy stores

Round 5 of 6

Pootifier: price of smithore will fall i think, but still be worth some decent money

Pootifier: close one

ubfwins: how did you switch?

Pootifier: got new mule, put ore on it, take to energy plot, press space

Pootifier: take mule back either sell it or switch it to whatever you want

ubfwins: sad face

Pootifier: plots that touch each other with the same thing get a +1 bonus

ubfwins: hm hm

Pootifier: every 3 plots you have of the same thing get +1 bonus to production

Pootifier: so the key is stacking plots in groups of 3 that touch each other

Pootifier: for max production

ubfwins: how did acid rain increase food production?

ubfwins: nvm

Pootifier: oh shoot, i should have put my energy mule on my new plot

Pootifier: not taken it back to town

Pootifier: mistake

Pootifier: sell

Pootifier: good price and price falling still

Pootifier: if game was full 12 turns

Pootifier: we could buy it all back from the store next turn and try to corner the market and create shortage

Pootifier: price of smithore will go back up

Pootifier: holy food batman

ubfwins: damn

Pootifier: could sell to store

Pootifier: but it's low price

Pootifier: usually worth hoarding it still

Pootifier: sometimes they will sell super high

Pootifier: this guy probably not

Pootifier: but with real players, they will

Pootifier: so all that smithore paid off

Pootifier: but i'm in first now and will get the nasty randoms

Round 6 of 6

Pootifier: value of the plot depends on how many turns left

Pootifier: because more turns = more production

ubfwins: wtf i never see wumpus what are you looking for

Pootifier: he has to be on a mountain

Pootifier: only one left

Pootifier: so he has to be there

Pootifier: if you have sound on it makes a little sound

Pootifier: if not, just look for a little black head looking thing that pops up on the mountain then disappears

Pootifier: he pops up twice, then moves to another mountain

Pootifier: in this came, one mountain, he's always in same one

Pootifier: get wompus after this

Pootifier: that other one

Pootifier: can't be a mountain that is owned

ubfwins: lol oh

Pootifier: so it has to be that one peak over there

Pootifier: sorry

Pootifier: should have mentioned that

Pootifier: there's a pretty good little tutorial online you can read through as well

Pootifier: it will make more sense now that you played through a few rounds

ubfwins: word

Pootifier: see those dark plots

Pootifier: thats where you didn't have enough energy

Pootifier: to run your mule

ubfwins: well, i'm going to be on my mountain soon

Pootifier: so this is last turn, ship returned

ubfwins: but i'm sure we'll play again

Pootifier: yeah, i gotta go watch tv with wife

Pootifier: but i'll be back when she goes to bed

Pootifier: if you are around

Pootifier: if not, np

Pootifier: i'm in and out tomorrow, have it off work

Pootifier: playing with 4 real players is super fun

ubfwins: word

Pootifier: the AI can be a bit predictable

Game Over

ubfwins: i wont have internet when i go on the mountain though

Pootifier: ahh ok

ubfwins: and i'm going up tomorrow

ubfwins: x)

Pootifier: k, np

Pootifier: lol, AI purple won

Pootifier: stupid whore

Pootifier: lol

ubfwins: i'll be in an out of town but yeah i'll probably be here later

ubfwins: ikr?

Pootifier: look around at the web tips and stuff

Pootifier: you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly

Pootifier: if we can get more players, it's super fun

Pootifier: if not, still fun

Pootifier: just humans can be brutal

Pootifier: like, whole of everyone starves

Pootifier: and nobody can do anything but one guy who refuses to sell his food

Pootifier: for example

Pootifier: etc

ubfwins: xD

Pootifier: anyway, good start, i'll be back in a while on clicker heroes chat room 1

Pootifier: ttyl
