@ Scout- No, you were seeing this exactly as I was seeing it. I'm just thinking with 3 move galleys it will take a while even with the canal cities. Nara has no terrain improvements, so I doubt it has many troops yet. However, I wouldn't feel that comfortable over there without at least 4 swords...

Spears instead of warriors? After all my good "paper cutout" learning from the Training Day Game? :lol: Seriously though, I agree with it because we have made our cities productive enough. Barracks might also be a good idea in one or two areas. I'm not that worried about bumping the Military...

I'm seeing only four ways in this situation: 1) Wait on Colossus, capture Kyoto, make peace. I don't want to do this because of the flip risk from Kyoto. 2) Get ROP with Shaka, walk some troops through Zululand, take down Nara, then take Kyoto. This would sign us in with Shaka for the peace...

Uhh... Did anyone else notice this?

@ Tal- Great turns :goodjob: We're really starting to move along now. I was afraid that other continent was to the west. Now, we just might have to be Magellan to get over there :) Liz getting kicked around might not be a bad thing at this point. It seems she was blessed with some of the...

If we decide to use him as our research slave, selling Monarchy will allow him to get more cash to research with. The question is, do we want to go for Hanging Gardens? If so, we hold off and sell him Currency instead, letting him build marketplaces instead of troops, and still make more money...

My bad, meant Munich.

First, great turns GK :goodjob: Both dotmaps at RCP 9 look fine, we grab the incense and start getting a port city online. I'm generally a big fan of not building aqueducts if not necessary. I agree w/ Tal about the spots closest to Russia. I think Cathy will get those (for now). We're...

Just a question. What is the best way to stack native workers and slaves?

The only way I can think of is to sell them Monarchy (or Republic later). Then, they will probably change governments immediately and we "sacrifice" a cheap unit (Warrior or Spearman) to one of their UU's. As neither one is religious, they will waste a few turns (I can't remember the range of...

I second the nomination. It is his name on the game :D

@ Mistfit- Congrats on the Regent win! I couldn't get the "Great Job" smiley to come up, but it's here in spirit. I've never gotten a Space Race victory, I've normally gotten Diplo with a rare Domination thrown in here and there. That's why I'm happy to be in this game to see how it all works...

Sorry about the poor quality screenies as it was my first time posting them. I realize now I could make them a little bigger :) That is a horse N of the lake, and the closest one I can see to our empire. I'm having difficulties with city placement between using RCP and all of the mountains...

After Action Report- 42G in bank, +11 GPT, HBR in 17 Berlin is set up as a 4 turn Settler pump. The workers SW are making a stack to hook up purple town ( after it's founded) and the spices. Warrior is heading to purple town for MP. Hooking up Konigsberg was tricky. The road could have...

Turnlog- Preflight checks- 35G+ 3 GPT, removed build queue from Leipzig, MM citizen in Hamburg to BG (growth in 4, warrior in 4) Hit Enter IBT- Berlin produced Archer, start Worker (growth in 2, Worker in 2) Turn 1 (1725 BC) - Bump Berlin Archer for MP Worker SW of Berlin to Grassland...
