preturn: somebody messed up the turns.
We are researching CB - hm, why? If it were me I'd have researched Writing with min sci. CB is worthless as a first-level tech. Indeed Hitties already have it.
And our towns are empty, with two hittie warriors nearby? I switch spear in Rome to warror immediately.
Press return and pray..
IBT Hitties pop up a hut.
(1)2190BC: Hitties now has Masonry and IW on us.
IBT Veii war->war.
(2)2150BC:
IBT CB->Writing in min for now. Rome war->settler.
(3)2110BC: zzz
(4)2070BC: zzz
(5)2030BC: zzz
(6)1990BC: zzz
IBT Veii war->war.
(7)1950BC: Cumae is founded to claim the spices and fill the choke. I start on warrior. We need more scouting!
(8)1910BC: zzz
IBT Rome settler->warrior.
(9)1870BC: zzz
(10)1830BC: Hitties have Wheel. I see totally 7 warriors in sight.
IBT 3 warriors move into our territory.
I'll play 2 more turns to fix it up.
(11)1790BC: I order Hitties out, and he does so. I switch sci to 90%, Writing due in 26 turns.
IBT 2 warriors move back to Hitties home but four Hitties warrior move into our territory again. It may just be trespassing but who knows?
(12)1750BC: I cancel the settler/war pair movement to get back to our territory, as I fear Hittie's attack. Move the warrior in Veii toward Rome. With a warrior due in Rome next turn, we'll have 3 warriors in Rome and it should be safe against 4 Hitties warriors.
Next leader: not much to say, I hope Hitties won't attack us!
If they move out, we can continue to settle. There is big furtile landmass in the north that we want asap (and set up worker factory! we need more workers!)
EDIT: I think 80% those Hitties warriors are just returning home. The 4 warriors will probably just keep going north. I suggest we do not request them to leave but fortify 3 warriors in Rome and watch them closely instead.
Another thing very important: send a warrior to explore the north and one to the east. We need to make more contacts!
I made a tentative dotmap for discussion. Pink dot may move one tile to the NE depending on the revealed tiles.
