Development needs:
Workboat will net the fish on the next turn, tile will be 5 :food: 2 :commerce:. Work instead of pigs.
Pasture on the pigs will make the tile 6 :food: 1 :commerce:.

With fish and pigs improved, health and happy limit will both be 5.

Copied to another thread, since people didn't pay any attention to the "this is an info thread discuss elsewhere" notice.

Why in the name of all what's holy are we working the forest instead of the horses?

good point, maybe this screenie is outdated.

I just checked the most recent save (turn 15) and indeed this screenie is up to date. I suggest that Ozog immediately send his legion of laborers South to Blastoids Stables. For here we gain extra gold for our soothsayers research.

Somebody must've forgotten to switch that after we discovered AH..

I think we lost 1 turn there, but we were all surprised by getting Animal Husbandry from the 2nd village, after getting agriculture in the first.

We just discovered horses, and as your leader of the way of the people. I will get us to work on those horses.

Its one of the many things that I plan for the next turn set ;)

Also next turn we will be working the fish rather then the pigs, we will have the same production, but a major increase in commerce and food.

have we got any workers?

Not yet Joe, first one will be produced after scout i thought..

why not i thought it would be the first thing we built after the woakboat??!!! :confused:

I believe this is because the scout is done same turn as growth, which allows an additional citizen to help get the worker out. Although I still think Worker should be prioritized as we have horses to improve...!

I think this is the reasoning, because it times well with growth. I was in favor of doing a worker as fast as possible; this solution is fine by me.

Remember the warrior returns now, to let a scout handle the scouting from now on. We only have one warrior at large, remember.

I propose that after the scout is built, a worker be built immedately following this.
We may be ready to found another city then.

I also propose that following the workers creation and it's building the Pasture in road on the Horse tile that it build a road thru my tile (NE) and then a Pasture and road on the Pigs.

A small detail; the pigs are riverside (for info in Original Post)

I propose,and/or suggest, that after building the worker we build another warrior. We may need extra defence early if we don't build the great wall!

I would concur since I'd want a warrior to protect the settler.

Yes, but I'd still prefer a road-connection to the Pigs so if a barb warrior comes around it can't raid our Pigs.

Um I was planning that we were going to get the scout contstructed as to have our warrior guarding our city. And produce a worker-tiles i want to work asap, horses, pigs, roads for both.

After I was planning to build a warrior and then a settler.

What do you guys think?

For those of you who don't know, I am in the Philosophers, and its my job to micromanage the capital and choose production.

I'm sure that with better participation during the turnchat (not knocking anyone by the way, especially since weekends are bad for me) this could have been picked up. However, it was just a mystake bread out of the heat of the moment.

We have only lost one commerce point, and I'm sure that the Triad is going to be more careful in the MM department from now on.

Thats what I meant!:lol: the warrior AFTER the worker!

Remember the warrior returns now, to let a scout handle the scouting from now on. We only have one warrior at large, remember.
As long as the warrior is circling around, sure, we might as well have him guard the capital. However, barbs won't threaten for a while still and we don't have to fear a super-early rush from the AI, so it's not necessary to guard the capital just yet. We could wait, produce the next warrior before the settler and use that warrior to guard the city founded by said settler, while our next build be yet another warrior used to garrison Arete. We could, perhaps, do a larger circle with our scout warrior and have him garrison the 3rd city (that is, if he doesn't get eaten).

Thats very true. I am being a little safer then sorry in my approach just cause if anything bad did happen, I would be the first to blame. What does this body think?

2nd warrior before settler or after.

I'm going with after!

By the way... does anyone know wha our 2nd city is gonna be named?

Thats up the protectors faction. It was stipulated that our religious cultural city would be named and largely governed by them and that the warlords faction would run the military city. This was all part of our coalition plan.

Anyways I am starting to see the merits of after. We need our second city soon.

I was thinking we could name the city New Giruvegan, in reference to the fact that it is a religious city.

If our seccond city is to be a religious one, then it should be named something like.............................................. nevermind:blush:

Thankyou for not goin "Jerusalem!" or "Terayama!" or something just as ridiculous. We'll decide it on our factional forum if there are no other inputs...?

i'd say: Zion! :p

I think mining and roading up towards the mountains should be priority now.

Yes, good more hammers and getting reading for the warlord city, is a huge priority.
