UPDATE 1 4000-2960 BC
Ok guys plenty of interesting developments here in this turnset. I decided to settle in place- started on a work boat, and chose agriculture as my first tech. I did some scouting- and the first goody hut i popped gave me a map- bleh.
plenty of jungle to the north, as well as another goody hut i went and popped, giving me a much better gift- a free tech.
meanwhile my work boat finished and i started on a worker. i sent the work boat out and used it on the fish tile- making it only 7 turns till i get my worker finished. in the meantime i had finished agriculture and mining, and convieniently bronze working would be done in 7 turns as well. i kept on scouting- killing a few animals and popping exp for my scout from another hut- giving him woodsman II and the ever popular name- woody! he ended up in a close battle with a lion and had to rest on a forested hilltop. meanwhile- my first neighbor came knocking.
I dont know much about gilgamesh- maybe someone can enlighten me? anyway he made contact with a warrior so he cant be too far off. meanwhile i finished bronze working- and my starting position became even better than before-
2 copper nearby! now thats just being plain spoiled. after switching to slavery and ending the anarchy, it is now 2960 BC. my hilltop scout happend to see gilgies borders pop a second time- and i was right about him being close. looks like we found phalanx target numero uno.
as of now i have my worker working one of the corn tiles and the copper will be next. im building a warrior for protection and felt now is a good time to stop for some advice. here is the overall display so far-
im thinking of putting city #2 1 tile east of the wine- in order to get that, the pigs, and the wheat in its BFC. i want to put city #3 1 tile NE of the stone to get that, pigs, and rice in its BFC. as always though- tell me what you think!
Edit- just read VOU's post. ill give you guys more time for advice before the next update.
