bed_04 - Los Españoles Conquistados

I'm hoping the above means the Conquering Spaniards. So we will shoot for a conquest victory. But my practical knowledge of Spanish is rather limited considering how much Spanish I have taken, so the title could be a little off.

Level = Deity
Map Size = Standard
Map Type = Archipelago, 70%
Climate = Random
Sedentary barbarians

We'll go without armies or ground or air artillery, so this should be quite challenging. Since we are seafaring, we will use our navy to bombard, and this time around we will actually need our navy. As long as we get a decent start, though, it should be a winnable game.

reporting for duty

I must say, I like the promptness with which you join. It took a couple days to get anyone in my first game. Two immediate signups for my third and fourth is very reassuring.

Bede · Jan 25, 2005

I'd like to make it three. 02 was hard fought and this should be even more fun. Going to miss those tank armies, though.

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

Yeah, that will be tough. Hopefully they won't be as necessary, since in the late game we won't need to grab quite as much land.

grs · Jan 25, 2005

I'd like to play in this game.

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

Welcome aboard, grs. I'll start on the search for a decent starting position.

dmanakho · Jan 25, 2005

and may i also be part of the team...

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

I guess we can get this started. Still searching for a start, though.

Well don't forget a tribe moves 2 ignoring movement costs. Don't be afraid to wander for a few turns to find good food.

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

This is standard conquests. The other one is my RaR game, which still hasn't filled. But I'll keep that in mind for that game.

grs · Jan 25, 2005

LK seems to be in RaR mode :lol:

Going through starts, can't get a river, and I am ready to take the first river start we get. Then, we get river, and a cow. We have a winner!

Start:

And mini-map:

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

We are on a BG right now, so definitely scout with worker to the cow. Depending on what we see, I think we might want to move two tiles SW, so we can save the BG. I just don't like throwing them away.

dmanakho · Jan 25, 2005

Nice one...
Should we move 1N across the river to claim all BGs and cow after expansion...
Worker to stay in place to improve BG right away.

grs · Jan 25, 2005

As an alternative we could go north, if 2 SW is not a good place. But I would prefer 2 SW too.

Even better Idea.. We will have at least 4BGs and a Cow
within city radius

One thing to consider - length of the river.
If we move north we might be able to place 2 cities along the river.
if we move 2SW we may end up on the middle of the river and no more cities can be placed next to it

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

But if we move north, we won't be able to immediately work the cow, which can make a big difference. If we move two SW, we can still place a city one tile north of the starting position.

Pied Piper · Jan 25, 2005

Interesting discussion about start location. Personally I would go 1 tile north to have capital a little more centered in the land mass. Or possibly 1 tile east if going for a tighter build.

bed_head7 · Jan 25, 2005

1 tile E is would lose the coastal bonus and ability to build harbor, but still leave coastal tiles, which would be a shame. I think I am going to go ahead and play the first 20 right now.
