French borders found and Orleans scouted.
2 Barb Warriors are approaching our lands, one from the NW towards NotA and one from the NE from Falcon.

Turn 7: 1800
NotA finishes the Granary. Work is started on a Worker (6) per instructions
Falcon finishes a Warrior. Instructions say to build a Chariot, but horses are not roaded. Granary (6) is started instead to help the city grow faster.
Scout starts to head northbound around French city. But a Barb Warrior is spotted. Although the path is blocked by the ocean, the scout runs South. Because the barb is seen west of NotA, our 3rd warrior is sent towards NotA in case the barb heads towards our lands.

Turn 8: 1760
Scout gets to the ocean and finds that he can see a lot farther. The vicious rumors of it being a French settlement are found to be true. A 9 tile city is located that has a pasture on a Cow, and the Wine is within the cross. The borders of another city are seen across the bay, but it's size can't be determined.

Turn 9: 1720
If you were reading everything so far, you'd know that we should have discovered Writing on this turn. And we did. No instructions were left, so Alphabet(24) was started. That seemed the most logical choice.
Scout moves along France's northern border and meets another ocean. But the sight lines allow us to see the city very well. It is called "Orleans" and is situated perfectly on an isthmus. Ships can enter and leave the city from both oceans. A nice canal city that may have to become Mongolian in the future.
142 gold(-1) 100% research Alphabet in 24

Turn 10: 1680
Julius Caesar adopts slavery.
Scout follows ocean north.
George realizes weesa in trouble. The barb warrior the scout saw is now just NW of the Lake of Indecision. And another barb has appeared out of the darkness in the Fire Desert. Our third warrior is just south of the stone, directly between our two cities. The good news is that our worker has finished the farm and can move next turn. So he can do a Monty Python and "Run Away!" And George will let the citizens (and someone that is better skilled) decide what to do with those threats.

[03/28 15:34] <GeorgeOP> no instructions for scout, send him NW?
[03/28 15:35] <GeorgeOP> also, borders expand for NotA, but the workers are still toying with their horsies

[03/28 15:39] <GeorgeOP> Ceasar scout appears from NW of NotA
[03/28 15:40] <DaveShack> re: where to scout, we're interested in what lies to the west
[03/28 15:40] <GeorgeOP> ok, I'll send him west
[03/28 15:40] <GeorgeOP> worker finished pasture, should I road pasture for 2 turns or go for the gold or stone or floodplain?
[03/28 15:41] * Octavian_away is now known as Octavian_X
[03/28 15:41] <Octavian_X> I totally forgot that this way today...
[03/28 15:42] <GeorgeOP> any ideas for the worker?
[03/28 15:42] <DaveShack> what does the pasture square produce now?
[03/28 15:43] <GeorgeOP> 4 hammer 1 food
[03/28 15:43] * Falcon02 has joined #turnchat

[03/28 15:44] <Falcon02> Just got home from work and pretty much gonna Eat Dinner and go to bed soon afterwards
[03/28 15:44] <GeorgeOP> but stone will require the worker move for 2 turns and build 2 tiles of road
[03/28 15:44] <GeorgeOP> and stone will not help any cities, since it is between the crosses
[03/28 15:44] <DaveShack> the stone is outside the fat+ right
[03/28 15:45] * Falcon02 says we irrigate Floodplains of Falcon's Haven
[03/28 15:45] <DaveShack> irrigate FP
[03/28 15:45] <Falcon02> er... build a farm
[03/28 15:45] <GeorgeOP> will do, irrigating fp for Falcon
[03/28 15:45] <GeorgeOP> I know what we meant
[03/28 15:45] <Falcon02> yeah
[03/28 15:45] <DaveShack> lol
[03/28 15:45] <Falcon02> Civ III terminology dies hard
[03/28 15:46] <Octavian_X> hehe
[03/28 15:46] <DaveShack> just to make it clear though, there are no worker instructions so you're making decisions based on non-binding advice, right?
[03/28 15:46] <DaveShack> don't want the anti-chat police to come after us :mischief:
[03/28 15:46] <GeorgeOP> correct, I thought we should farm or mine gold
[03/28 15:47] <Octavian_X> now now, DaveShack. You've got the eye of the Judiciary watching. :p
[03/28 15:47] <GeorgeOP> there were no instructions for worker, just Chieftess mention of her wanting the stone hooked up
[03/28 15:48] <Falcon02> I personally don't think stone is critical, yet but I can see next after Farm build

[03/28 16:08] <GeorgeOP> NotA finishes Granary, worker (6) started

[03/28 16:08] <GeorgeOP> Falcon finishes Warior, oops Chariot was supposed to be next
[03/28 16:08] * Chieftess hopes there's a forest chop coming (was kind of hoping it would grow and build a scout or warrior or something).
[03/28 16:08] <GeorgeOP> but horses are not roaded, so scout (3) is used instead, or should I change that?
[03/28 16:09] <GeorgeOP> also, no instructions for built warior, should he shadow the worker?
[03/28 16:10] <Falcon02> CT... not as old as I am though... first time I remember seeing it was first game this DG
[03/28 16:10] <DaveShack> I'd suggest a granary or warrior
[03/28 16:11] <GeorgeOP> moved scout by Louis NW for first mp. Barb warior north. Do I hide in forest and be attacked or run south and lose scouting chance?
[03/28 16:12] <GeorgeOP> changed Falcon to Granary (6)
[03/28 16:12] <GeorgeOP> Falcon grows in 9, so no food will be lost
[03/28 16:13] <GeorgeOP> any suggestions for scout?
[03/28 16:13] <DaveShack> south will show more of the french land
[03/28 16:14] <Falcon02> yeah, try to seek out the French Borders
[03/28 16:14] <GeorgeOP> French borders go into ocean, so there is only 2 more tiles S to go before it's blocked
[03/28 16:14] <GeorgeOP> but it would see over ocean, go that way?

[03/28 16:16] <DaveShack> any resources in that area?
[03/28 16:17] <Falcon02> Could also loop around the Northwest, around the ocean

[03/28 16:29] <GeorgeOP> fwiw, the worker finished the farm, but has no mp left
[03/28 16:29] <Falcon02> did Farm finish?
[03/28 16:30] <GeorgeOP> yes, farm is finished
[03/28 16:30] <GeorgeOP> and that's where I'm going to end
[03/28 16:30] <Falcon02> good, so our worker can move away easily
[03/28 16:30] <GeorgeOP> yes, next turn
[03/28 16:30] <GeorgeOP> our 3rd warior is just south of stone, half way between the two cities
[03/28 16:32] <GeorgeOP> http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/55134/C4DG2_BC-1680_Turn_10.Civ4SavedGame
[03/28 16:32] <GeorgeOP> And that should end this TC
[03/28 16:33] <GeorgeOP> I'm going to do a write up now, can someone copy this TC and post it to the thread?
[03/28 16:38] <DaveShack> i have logging on
[03/28 16:39] <DaveShack> nice tc, thanks
[03/28 16:39] <GeorgeOP> thanks Dave. I'll see everyone later
 
Sorry I couldn't give instructions. Verizon's internet blew out in my area for the last 2 days and I just got back on now. Either way, it looks like you handled yourself fine. Again I apologize for the inconvenience.
 
So we've got a new scout. How about scouting the French countryside? The AI usually builds cities near interesting sites but I failed to spot one near Orleans, except for the wine. Paris seems to be extremely close to Orleans by the way.
 
I think we've scouted about as much of France as we can without an open borders, I might be in favor of signing such an agreement though, considering France has been discussed as a potential early opponent, and it would be good to see what they have past Orleans.
