Okay, when I started out, I was only going to play until ABCs came due in 12 turns, thinking Id whip the pyramids before that. We can also take OBs w/auggie, liz, gandhi, & surya, though I didnt take any.
Our settler finished on my first turn, and I sent him NE to yellow dot for the iron where we had an axe already waiting. For some reason, a work boat was in the queue here. I sent it east to explore. I had Hamburg start on another settler, too, for the red dot (more on that later).
Heres something that I really hope gets fixed in the patch whenever it does come out:
I mean, its barely near Indian lands! We got a couple messages like that over my set.
Essen was founded in 650 bc.
I started it on a monument as most of our cities were building. Buddhism came in the same turn to Munich, but I didnt revolt to any state religion yet either. Only Gandhi is Buddhist, but he IS number one. Id really like to see how the warmongers fall with religion before deciding for ourselves.
I took OB with Gandhi when he traveled over for a visit. We also couldnt even whip the Pyramids until 2 turns were left on the thing ~ so I didnt even bother doing that.
However, if youll notice in the top left corner, were at 10% sci and -1 gpt! We have another settler ready to go east to settle at the gold, but I dont think we should bother just yet, unless we have to (ie, another settler approaches).
I started a Library in Berlin as we need them all over the empire to start running scientists as soon as possible! ABCs is now about 30 or so turns away, more likely at 100+ turns when we fall down to 0% sci!
I also took off a citizen at cologne from working the fish there to a mere grass hill. We are at the happy cap there for now. Stupidly, I built two cottages during my set. I was able to replace one with a farm and the other I pillaged, but those are two wasted set of worker turns well never get back.
Where do we go from here? I think we need libraries pushed into every city that will be able to run even one scientist. Thats the only way were going to keep ourselves on a good economic footing for now. Were going to need CoL really soon, I think. Im not exactly sure whats killing us economically, but the three far-flung reach cities Im sure aint helping
Heres Germany, circa 450 bc:
We still need to revolt to Representation, too.
