phylor: must be me

Taggart: ok to me too

Wobey: ugh

Wobey: im betting on a fire!

mule_be_ok: it could happen

mule_be_ok: i think pirates more likely

phylor: sure could

Wobey: we had pirates already more likely to fire

mule_be_ok: 2 pirates per game

phylor: pirats can come 2 times

Wobey: yup

Wobey: but its less likely to happend 2nd

Wobey: its very possible, but more likely to have a fire then pirates

Round 10 of 12

Wobey: plus even with a fire, there is less demand form mules, so smithore wont ever really bounce back up to 200

phylor: he got it for 45 could sell at 60 and make some $$

Wobey: he got it? you mean i got it ;)

phylor: not I says I

phylor: lol

Wobey: taggar, n o need to assay, no matter what there will be a medium next to a high, and a low next to a medium

Taggart: ko

Taggart: yhanks

Wobey: the only exception is if, its like HIgh med high which can happen

Wobey: but, if there is a medium there will always be a ring of lows around it

Wobey: its good info to have, becuase if you see someone with a medium, or a high you know what may be around it.

Wobey: lol nice mule

phylor: thats all gonna spoil

Round 11 of 12

mule_be_ok: about 1/4

Wobey: worth it, cuz he just stopped your production ;)

phylor: not really

phylor: well yes but not really

Wobey: every little bit helps :)

phylor: very true my friend

Wobey: lol

Wobey: there it is

phylor: hahaha

Taggart: on turn 11

mule_be_ok: lol smioth went down after fire

Wobey: its becuase stable is full

Wobey: if we empty stable smithore goes up

Taggart: time to call it a night

mule_be_ok: round 12 crystite saved you

Wobey: gg

phylor: oh well gg

Wobey: yeah if you didnt sell in round 11

mule_be_ok: you didnt sell round 11 that was he diffewrence

Wobey: yup ;)

Wobey: i didnt see a point was so cheap

mule_be_ok: i was too far behind

mule_be_ok: it was 50/50

Wobey: i doubted it would be going for less in the final round

Taggart: told you my ass was kicked

phylor: oh well... gg

Wobey: its ok tag

mule_be_ok: happens

phylor left the game

Wobey: towards the end you just need to go for crystal everywhere

phylor was disconnected

mule_be_ok: you had poor crystal and smithy

Wobey: once smithore is 150+ in the shop

Wobey: as in they have 150+

mule_be_ok: you need to mine when the time is right

Wobey: yeah

mule_be_ok: we were cashing in 50 smithore you had none

Wobey: first 1-8 rounds depending on store fires

Wobey: and early on save crystal for when its 100+

Taggart: enjoyed it though

mule_be_ok: after round 3 you gotta start mining SOMETHING

Wobey: yeah

mule_be_ok: not just aplot here a plot there

mule_be_ok: get your area and MINE

Wobey: crystal is wonky, as it has no control over its price smithore, can be controled

mule_be_ok: but it is often the difference maker

mule_be_ok: one trick ponies usually lose

Wobey: yeah, you get bonus, for each plot doing the same thing next to each other

mule_be_ok: plus, the number of plots you having doing the same task

Wobey: so if you have a 4x4 doing nothing but smith/crystal you will produce better then haveing 2 smith / 2 crystal spread out

mule_be_ok: I earned 6 bars of crystite on a "no crystite" plot

mule_be_ok: since i was adjoined by 6 polts

Taggart: knew about the bonus next to each other but didn't realize it worked better if they were the same

Wobey: yeah

mule_be_ok: hey aHAVE to be the samwe

Wobey: plus, for every 3, (map wide) you get +1 on each

Wobey: so if you have 6 you get +2 on each

Wobey: so if at the end you have 9 crystal plots, that means each plots going to produce 3 min

mule_be_ok: the llast round, io produced 43 crystite

mule_be_ok: half of those plots were "no crystite"

Wobey: ive produced 80 crystal on one round once

Wobey: but then again i had a full bloom

mule_be_ok: but I had so many plots it just kept producing

Wobey: a high, with all 4 medium around it

Taggart: didn't know that

Wobey: yeah

Taggart: thanks

Wobey: its always good idea to go one or the other

Wobey: smith early, when you can control

mule_be_ok: in the beginning you need to get a general idea of where you want your area

Wobey: becuase it goes up based on how many mules in there bed

Wobey: Each round the store will make 8 mules, (1 for every 2 smith it has)

mule_be_ok: when youre in last place and you can buy out the store of smith, DO IT

Wobey: if it has 0 smith the price goes up steadily, and if it has 0 mules higher, and if there empty plots even higher

Wobey: yeah

Wobey: if your in last place

Wobey: you get high prio in doing stuff

mule_be_ok: last place buys first

Wobey: if you noticed i let myself fall to last place early

Wobey: by not going to the pub

mule_be_ok: i dont wampus hunt early rounds

Wobey: so i could buy all the starting smith

Wobey: plus last place never has any negetive things happen

Wobey: and it gets prio on plot selection

mule_be_ok: unless everyones goes food

Wobey: last place for the first 6-8 rounds is very amazing

Taggart: i remember on the C-64 in the 80's buying out the ore/mules and watching the other players not be able to develop their plots

Wobey: i played a game last night i was last from rounds 1-11 then round 12 bam first

Wobey: yeah

Wobey: if you buy all the ore, and theres no mules, you can lock out people, however all it takes is them to swap over to ore, and sell it to the store to fix it

Wobey: eventually they will beat you becuase you will run out of money

Wobey: unable to buy it all out

Taggart: good night all. see you again soon.

mule_be_ok: better to buy out store with a partner

Wobey: early on, you want to buy smith low, sell it when its high, then buy it out again and repeat

Wobey: that to :0

mule_be_ok: unless noin ones mioning smith

mule_be_ok: and AI games you can pretty much forget any of this startegy

mule_be_ok: lol

Wobey: yeah

mule_be_ok: since they sell no matter what

Wobey: however if you corner the smithore, they normally go energy or something

mule_be_ok: uinless REAL low

Wobey: well you can always trick them to not sell

mule_be_ok: they wont sell low either

Wobey: if you meet them when they come down and buy 1, they will normally stop there and wont sell more

mule_be_ok: like 50 or less

Wobey: even if the price is like 150

Wobey: if you buy 1 from them they stop

Wobey: its nice if you wanna hold off for 1 round
