Re: Record of my Predictions

So far in flipping coins to predict (coin predictions from last page) vs Princeofcarthage's predictions. Forjustice-Lecastete Coin 2-3, Prince 1-4, Actual Result 4-1, both wrong, but coin did better Snowww-Miggo Coin 3-2, Prince 3-2, Actual Result 2-3, both wrong, same pick so tie Turk-Hazza Coin 2-...

NA Mathematically Eliminated!

As of GUA going 3-2 in the series vs Bwinner, the Mandarin Duck Squad can no longer advance, as they have 15 games remaining and are 15 wins behind second place CMC (and they would lose to CMC under the tiebreak rules even if CMC lose every map). So NA are out. Amongst the teams that remain alive, S...

In his defense he did predict the exact results so 57% it's not bad.
Based on the way he wrote it it seemed like he got the series winner wrong in each of his wrong predictions (except for the series he predicted that both would win 4:1 where he was both wrong and right I guess).

Re: Record of my Predictions

So you're roughly as accurate at predicting series winners as flipping coins would be? In honour of this I have flipped a coin a bunch to predict the week 3 series, let us see whether the coin can defeat the Prince.

Re: Experience per Shipment

Yeah and i need more than the first 8 shipments or whatever, i was hoping for the first 20 or so Think its just geometric progression with 1.15? (Or that rounded). And Spains bonus is 25% now I think? So x*300*1.15^(n-1) for the nth shipment, (x=1.1 if civ is ger, 0.75 if Spain, 1.08 if India) and ...

Re: Great Basin TP Sockets

It's not really the percentage that bothers me, it's the fact that it's "intended". If it's just because of technical limitations, I can understand Maybe your interpretation of Garja's post is right, but I have to say I took it to mean that the "intended" way was what happens 90...

I think the "wouldn't play 12/14 mirrors" is not really the right way to look at it either. Obviously I don't know because a lack of sufficient data from the stream but it seems like Wicked rather wanted to play Russia, India or Dutch on the map, given its no TP, these are going to be (amo...

Re: A suggestion for balancing non-TP maps

Sounds like a good way to add experience generation for non-TP maps without (substantially) affecting TP maps. But if we're trying to give no-TP maps comparable experience generation options to TP maps would it not be somewhat easier to give them all TPs?

Re: "3 Settler Wagons" Shipment Discussion

From what I gather these proposed changes are more about making the discovery 2SW and colonial 3SW shipments less strong relative to other shipments. I personally think its fine for civs to have certain things that are strong relative to other options and so are standard. We don't actually need to d...

Doing TP rather than second village and sending it for 2v is very common.

What are you doing instead of it in that scenario? Skipping age1 cards entirely?
