Will be this Friday, as of yet im not entirely sure what time it'll be and whether it would be online or offline. I'm GMT so us europeans can rule the roost.


This thread is just for general musings on what should happen, i'll start a general thread for instructions in a couple of days.

Personally i think we should not go to war and just try and expand normally but consensus seems to be war so perhaps we should go with the intial plan of sitting on the copper (is that still relevant?) and grabbing construction.

One thing I would like to emphasize spread Hinduism to Lincoln, if we're not going to war.

One thing that we have done in the past that was useful was to post the starting save in the 1st post of a turnsession thread.

Also do you want this to be open to discussion, or just for recording instructions and results?

Well as i said in the second sentance

'This thread is just for general musings on what should happen, i'll start a general thread for instructions in a couple of days'

Someone else can feel quite free to post the save if they wish too and i probably will when i do the instruction thread but i see little point in it here with the save in the thread below.

What is the point in this massive spread of hinduism? so we get 1 happy face initially and then another if we build a temple- we don't have any religious civics to make religion that worthwhile and the 2 happy bonuses can be acheived by simply building a couple of archers.

Friday morning, afternoon or evening? Morning I'll likely attend, afternoon I've got a chemistry exam, and evening I might attend.

Hinduism does not need to be a massive spread right now. We must remember that there is a religious faction that will get angry if ignored.

However, adopting Hinduism also grants us some diplomatic benefits with Lincoln and Hatty, especially if we are considering holding off on war with Hatty until we get war elephants.

Format for an instruction thread:
1) When and where (online, offline), Save file, how many turns are to be played, and Preconditions for a mandatory stop to game play.
2) Tech to research
3) City foci (what city will focus on what), MM ideas, and planned build queues.
4) What the workers will be doing in general and where.
5) Military plans if any.

Will need input from the various postions. I'd expect to see this coming together tomorrow morning (crosses fingers).

Sorry, I cannot post the "Hammers and Plow" thing
yet, (points 3 and 4) because HOF Mod still missing here.
I hope very shortly, problem shall be fixed.
My best regards,
