It's decision time.
The scout went on walkabout while the worker dug a mine and watered some more grass, and the settler got trained.
Scoutie met some new friends
and got a look at the neighborhood.
We are surrounded!
Toku due South, Huyana due West, Hannibal and Monte to the Northwest, Mongolia to the Southwest, and Washington and Saladin both appeared to the west of the scout.
And the northlands are currently occupied by a bear and a lion.
The really bold move would send the settler to the corner by Toku's borders.
Or we can train up another warrior and go north to the marble and ivory.
The land to the west is pretty dry and barren.
I've atttached the save having played 9 of the allotted 10, and leaving the settler active. The choice of direction is too important for a snap decision.
