Please bear with me, I’ve just moved so no house internet yet. I’m trying to work off a hotspot from my phone but the signal is a bit iffy.
Game #1. Turn set 14 – 43
The worker diligently
farmed the corn & dugout a mountain of gold, once
both mines were on line, he started preparing the groundwork for
floodplain cottages around the Capital.
The warrior busing himself mapping the terrain south of Mutal and stumbled upon
Asoka’s borders and, blow me, an unguarded Indian worker! Unfortunately, before the worker could be enlisted, he’d morphed into a club wielding brute; oh well never mind I do believe
I’ve just located the 3rd Maya city of Delhi.
Around turn #21 I had a bit of a shock;
Peter adopted Slavery! Whereas I’m still on the research path of
agriculture, fishing & pottery… But once completed its time for a bit of
Bronze Working myself and oh yeah!
BRONZE 4 south of Mutal; next the three Rs - reading
writing &
arithmetic.
My “explorer” Warrior met the
founder of Buddhism… err? Wt!!
Boudica??? AND we open borders – I’m sure at this stage I hadn’t discovered Writing, so has she’s not only a leather clad goddess but literate too! A dangerous combination.
Read: Sexy.
A five strong Warrior army head east to rendezvous with the “Explorer” outside the gates of
Moscow. I’m worried; the city square & 3 tiles of the inner ring are still hidden by the “fog of war”; regardless, I’m committed to the warrior rush… it’s a do or die mission, although I prefer “
he who dares wins” as a Motto.
T43.
DoW on Peter. This could well be a very short game! Is Moscow on a hill? Behind a river on a hill? Will he rush an Archer or maybe worst still, has bronze and an Axe!
** Note to self: INTEL! With the discovery of WRITING comes Open Borders - NO MORE GUESS WORK please.
