Chieftain Instructions-

Once worker is built, farm the wheat. Once that is completed, farm tile 1sw of city. Once that is done, mine forested hill one ne of city.

I doubt that you'll even get to start mining the hills this turnchat, but I rather be safe than sorry.

Move the scout at your own discretion, continue east and north, as there is no point of trying to make a trip all the way back to our capitol to go west. However, I do suggest that you move the scout out of danger to heal, before that bear gets him.

Continue the research of Bronze Working

Stop Play when Bronze Working is Finished.

Edit: worker instructions changed.

The rest is up to the Elder.

Chieftess · Mar 12, 2007

EDIT: Hang on...

Build queue: Worker, Warrior, Settler (mine the forested hill to get it out faster), Warrior, Scout (just incase ours is eaten by the lions...).

Focus on growth (use the best use of food/shields -ok, hammers, I'm oldschool- for the settler).

Methos · Mar 13, 2007

Build Queue:

Worker
Warrior
Settler
Warrior
Scout (in case current scout is eaten)

Citizens: Focus on growth (best use of food/shields)

Queued Worker: when complete

irrigate wheat
irrigate tile that is 1SW of city
mine forested hill that is 1NE of city

Scout: First move scout out of danger to heal. Move at my discretion, though continue E and N. No point in making a trip back to capitol to go W.

Research: continue BW

Stop when....

BW is complete

The above is the current instructions as I read them. Please state if you see any errors. I will get on the chat fairly early in case I have problems logging into the chat.

Question: Am I reading it right in the Elder's queue that the worker is the one that is currently in the queue, not that another worker will be placed in the queue after the current one is finished?

Methos · Mar 13, 2007

I'm having trouble getting into the chat. Check this thread please if you can help me.

Here's the world as we currently know it:

Notice there isn't any copper?

Sorry, guys, but I'm new to mIRC so I didn't realize you had to turn logging on. It wouldn't let my copy/paste either so I lost the log. I apologize for that.

Starting Save
Turn 5 save
Turn 13 End save

Here's our current tech tree:

DaveShack · Mar 13, 2007

Nice work on the turns, fantastic log! Maybe we should promote you to full-time DP!

As for the chat log, I have the log at home, and CT probably does too, so no problem there. The fine citizens will just have to wait a few hours.

Chieftess · Mar 13, 2007

In mIRC, you can right click the chat button to save the log.

Thanks! I've played way too many SG's and am still playing them!

Sorry about that. When I couldn't get the chat to load from CFC I tried the one suggested in the chat thread. I've never used it before. My apologies everyone. Let's hope the mods can save my loss!

Octavian X · Mar 13, 2007

First, I need to ditto DS' comment. Fantastic turn log, Methos!

Second, I happened to be idling around during chat (I was in class at the time, unfortunately). I do, however, have a chat log.

Excellent work Methos. This is going to be a tricky game without copper, lets hope we have horses.

dutchfire · Mar 14, 2007

It's not if you can outrun the bear, but whether you can outrun the other scout.

He can play, and he has got humor too!

Nothing is lost yet! Who knows what Iron Working reveals and there is still a chance we discover copper in mined hills after all.

ice2k4 · Mar 14, 2007

Map views have been updated by me in the Cartography Office in this post.

Gaidynne · Mar 14, 2007

Methos -- I wanted to echo everyone's comments about your excellent turn summary. Thanks for the effort.

Is it possible that we might post/sticky Methos' work somewhere as a good example of how this should be done. That way later DPs would have a good model to work from?

Chieftess · Mar 14, 2007

There's plenty of good examples in the demogame archives.

But, yes, this one was a good one. Haven't seen a turnchat this nice in years! :goodjob:

That's what you all get for electing a SG player as a DP.

Guess who the original DPs of the early Civ3 Demogames were? SG players!
