Now I'm really scared...

Wow... the 2nd ever Warlord GOTM! And, what's this, we have a food bonus?! What's the catch?

Twonky · Jun 10, 2005

Let´s see: Warlord, small pangea, starting in the south-western corner of the map... we´re probably locked on a remote island alone with no resourse whatsoever! The lighthouse might even be needed. I bet 100 gold the map will play some evil tricks to us.

Paul#42 · Jun 10, 2005

Looks like the seven tiles we see might be the only ones we have until mapmaking...

Even impossible to build a third city unless you settle on the wheat... :eek:

But if we are lucky, it's thundra and not coastal to west and south. Fog gazers?

a space oddity · Jun 10, 2005

I'd say there at least one extra tile directly south of the start location. And Yes, Ido think it's tundra in the west.

He gave us a Warlord game because New Zealand are thrashing Fiji in their rugby test match today

Just wait till they meet the british Lions... we may get either a Chieftain game or a Deity-without-settler one...

Maybe he just wants to bring in some new/fresh (cough*dumb*cough) players like us in

solenoozerec · Jun 10, 2005

uuuuu. I am still in GOTM43 and I see no end and here is GOTM44 warlord :cry:

This is a hard choice - I will have no time to play both COTM13 and GOTM44. What should I choose?
On another hand 80% ocean warlord pangea should be fast.

My fog glasses reveal nothing new in any direction. Can anyone else see anything? :scan:

Does it make sense to explore North to see if there is more to this rock than what we can see?

And they missed so many kicks... :ack:

budweiser · Jun 10, 2005

We may have fresh water to te NW.

eldar · Jun 10, 2005

I'm seeing plenty of tundra. That grass we see is probably the most viable land around. I'm also guessing "very, very, alone".

Conquest class? Is there going to be one?
Predator class?! How about no worker and no techs....

DBear · Jun 10, 2005

any bets on "barbarian isles" like there was in GotM40 (Greece on regent)? I see water to the sw, tundra to the w, not sure what's n.

eldar · Jun 10, 2005

Opening move: worker W. Should see if there's fresh water out there.

Then settle in place, or 1NW, if there's a lake up that way.

budweiser · Jun 10, 2005

I'd like to know how much pop we can have at this level before someone becomes unhappy. I would like to build the Colossus pretty early (it almost act as an extra city, sciencewise). I would like to build a second worker, maybe a temple and then try for the colossus. But, I guess I would need a awrrior or two as well.

Research warrior code first. Then go for Monarchy and Hanging gardens.

eldar · Jun 10, 2005

3 pop before unhappiness. Pretty much any Wonder we want will be a shoo-in - this will be a 20K player's paradise. The only drawback will be a lack of enemy units to generate the GLs. 20K on Predator may well be a popular choice, if the penalties/AI bonuses prove appropriate.

The NW NW tile is definately looking like a lake. Notice the thin strip of land which seperates it from the coastal tiles.

EDIT: Or a chokepoint, but it looks to thin for it to be a land bridge tile.

Megalou · Jun 10, 2005

You get 3 citizens born content. (I've never played Warlord, so I wanted to know too.)

How about a first shot at a pre-AD win?
