nice job guys! My apologies for disappearing. I will most likely sit out the next one (or two) until things calm down.

Looks good. There is a missionary headed towards Canal City. Will it load a caravel from Ondini or go to Jao?

I had to unexpectedly travel this week. I will return on Friday. I can play this Saturday if you want to wait. If not, then I'll just wait for next time.

Here is the save: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm8/One_Short_Straw_SG008_AD0900_01.CivBeyondSwordSave Things went pretty much according to plan. We received a Great Prophet, and I stopped. The capital has a caravel ready to launch. Ondini will have one chopped in 2-3 turns...

The REVISED plan: Play till capital GP comes in 7 turns then break for new plan. Civics: Change to Caste FR once Oxford is in. Research (0% till Oxford) Machinery->Compass->Optics Movement: Troops near Ondini -> Kushcan; Ulundi Chariot to Ondini; Settle Merchant Upgrade CR axes...

Better late than never... The plan: Play till capital GP comes in 7 turns then break for new plan. Go heavy on the whip once golden era ends. Civics: No change Research Machinery->Compass->Optics Movement: Troops near Ondini -> Ulundi; Ulundi Chariot to Ondini Upgrade CR...

OK, I will post a plan this weekend.

Wouldn't it be best to quickly get a caravel & scout (or two) to gather intel on our unknown neighbors? Once we know what's out there we should be able to map out an end-game strategy. As such, I like the Free Religion approach to aid OB and leave Jao/Pacifism for later. I am not certain how...

Checkin in.... My apologies for being away without warning. It is a very busy time at work. I will download the save and get up to speed.

I am for taking out Shaka and building the Mids. Please recap the plan for comment. -Thanks

I prefer this approach. It will focus our forces where it will do the most harm to Shaka, and we can back fill uMunug with forces from city 2. In BTS, is Shaka more likely to declare if a stack is marching towards its capital?

I agree...

I have not looked at the save, but I generally agree with this strategy. Take Shaka out first and quickly so we can concentrate on infrastructure/research. Edit: I looked at the save. Nice job folks! The CS slingshot could come in around T76. It seems the limiting factor is researching CoL...

Thanks, I did not know this...

Not to be a pain in the @ss, but why was 2E dismissed as a location to settle?
