Well, that is eye-opening!
We will soon hit the city limit. The five civs we know are 1/6 of the total civs and these five have 74 cities. Multiply those 74 by 6 and we get 444 cities in play. The AI needs an average of around 17 cities to hit the city limit of 512. Hopefully we can build City #5 before that happens.
Plans
Lay low and play nicely with everyone while stocking up on Tomahawk warriors.
City site in the hills to the SW, but we need another 10 turns to get our next Clan. And we need the AI to ignore that area for the next 12 turns.
During preflight buy Math from either Germany or Japan and try to sell it to Greece for Trade. If that won't work (and it might not) sell Math to Greece to reduce our cost for the tech.
Then in Boston: granary (60 sheilds) -> Seige Workshop (80 sheilds,small wonder). Boston has 56 shields towards the granary.
Worker Tasks
Philadephia is not connected, but it will be this IBT.
These two workers and 2 slaves will mine then road the BG 1SW of Philly. Then they will head back to Washington to road the BGs SW of Washington to speed up our next settlers movement to the coastline. The coastal hill 3S-2SW of Washington looks very pleasant; 2 BGs and fish in the initial city tiles.
We need a non-river road between Boston and New York. The river between Boston and Mt. Boston is bad news and makes the trip from Boston to New York take three turns. We have 2 workers and 2 defenders 1SW of New York about to finish a mine. These guys would road up 4NW to connect to Boston. Then the trip from Boston to New York becomes 5 roaded tiles with no rivers to cross. Once Boston can start cranking out Tomahawks we will need to get them to the front line quickly. This route saves us a turn of walking.
We are four turns away from our next Apprentice.
City Builds
Washington: vTomahawk in 1 -> vTomhawk in 2 -> Temple in 4 or 5 -> vTomahawk in 2.
New York: granary in 2 -> vTomhawk in 4 -> vTomhawk in 4 -> vTomhawk in 4.
Boston: granary in 1 switches to Seige Workshop in 5 -> temple in 12.
Philadelphia: walls in 10 -> granary in 15 (?).
We have no Temples built right now.
Canandian War
This won't come during my turns, but where do we plan to attack from, New York or Philadelphia?
