I think you're getting your east and west confused, Duke Blakestone.City 3 should be 1NE of the E incense, on the hill. 8 floodplains + a little production = science city? Great Library could be rushed there if we got a GE. I wiiish we had stone. I love large triangle shaped tombs.
Actually, I think he'll have slightly higher odds. On a hill the Scout is strength 2.25 (strength 1 + 125%), whereas the Warrior should be strength 2.5 (strength 2 + 25%).Hey, there's internet connecion over here!
Attacking the lion is just a bad idea. Continue NW, hopefully the lion will turn around (on a hill we'll have he same odds as our scout... horray)
Actually, I was referring to the fact that you get more XP (double, I think) when attacking as opposed to defending. Check it out and see for yourselves - try a 50% odds battle in WB, and see how many XP you get for attacking (and winning) as opposed to defending (and winning).I agree with Plako about following scout plan.
DMOC: re XP re Lion battle, I am not sure you have read that right. I thought if you win a fight you get 1 EP point, whether attacking or defending.
I think the point is , the surival chances are better defending and hence getting xp.
