Turnchat Schedule Thread / Summary Thread

After all the celebrations on New Years Eve of 4000 BC, Dutchfire wakes up feeling very tired. After he washes himself in the river nearby he decides to take a good look around to see where he actually is. All that beer the night before has made him forget some things. He starts walking along the river until he gets to some yellow ground. He has walked through forests and over grasslands, but walking over yellow ground doesn't seem to interesting to him. And the natives tell him that it is called flood plain. Dutchfire doesn't like floods, so that one more reason to stop here. He decides to go back on the other side of the river. He sees even more forests and hills here. Finally he comes to another hill, and there is a shiny substance coming from this hill. Dutchfire is interested and takes some of this substance. Although he's interested by this hill, he feels cold. He decides to go back to his tribe and report his findings, hoping that the others are awake too after last night's party.

To make this story shorter, the game has been created, and we're in a grassy area with lots of forests and hills, and the only resource in sight is silver.

Quick summary: We've got our capital! Karakorum was founded in 4000BC. Our Scouts have performed valiantly, revealing Wheat, Stone and more Gold. While out exploring, they sighted a small village. After peaceful negotiations (reports about the daughter of the Chief are UNFOUNDED!), the village passed along a map to us. Although not quite what they wanted, the map revealed significant land to our north!

Session halted at this point to give direction to the Scouts.

Thanks to Bertie, 730195 and Octavian X for keeping me company! Sorry, DS, must have been a netsplit. I saw you on #turnchat earlier, but when I reconnected, you were gone.

Completed chariot
Started mines on silver and gold
Settler met up with warrior escort
Made open borders agreement with Rome
Discovered Rome has horses
At the beginning of turn 2, discovered France has axes...

and a settler in the vicinity of gold+cows (our presumptive 4th city site)



Stopped play so a new city location poll can override the 1st one.
We can also discuss the importance of France having two axes and a settler in our backyard.
