    Yeah I actually didn't realize there was a jungle on the pig tile. Felt really stupid when I got a worker there ready to build a pasture lol.

    How many more cities should I settle? I don't want to destroy my economy again. I only see 2 spots that might be worth settling but there could be more that I missed. First one is the pig resource on the west coast but I would be surrounded by jungle without IW. Second is NW of Middelburg I can...

    Do you guys think it would be better for learning if I try to fix my economy and keep going with what I have done so far...or go back 10 turns or so and get TW and POT before I settle Maastricht?

    Okay cool I thought Middelburg looked pretty good! What did you mean by the barb city is likely to "flip"? Ah, that is my mistake on Maastricht...it was recommended that I build a city near that corn for the water tiles with a lighthouse. I wasn't sure on which tile to settle but I figured I...

    Played to turn 73 and settled 2 more cities but now I am losing 5 gold per turn...I am not 100% sure if Middelburg is a good city because of the distance and it might not overlap but there is a river with floodplains and a pig resource. Also room to settle another city to grab the copper and...

    Finally finished writing and started TW, but we have a problem in Utrecht. They are unhappy. I am sending a warrior there in 2 turns who will fix the problem Perhaps I should have done something differently? Let me know if I should go replay some turns I have no problem doing that...

    Played to Turn 59 and settled Nijmegen...work boat will be ready in time for border pop. Amsterdram and Utrecht are both recovering from the whip pretty quickly. I am farming tile NW of the copper to increase its growth rate since it is currently very slow. Edit: I just realized all my cities...

    Okay on T54 utrecht and amsterdam grow to size 4...utrecht already has 30 production into a settler. Should I start a settler in both or just settler in utrecht and maybe worker in amsterdam? Also I feel I may have screwed up very bad because currently Utrecht is losing 3 food from...

    It was a settler that I whipped in Amsterdam 2 pop to 1 pop. I am not sure which save is better...the one where I am at T49 with Amsterdam at 1 pop or the save at T51 with Amsterdam at 3 pop. On the T51 save I am close to 4 pop in Amsterdam and Utrecht which means I can do some 4>2 whips soon...

    [BTS] Emperor Shadow Game: Willem

    Okay I tried from T45 again and did not whip Amsterdam 2>1. 4th city settled on T51, is my situation better even though 4th city came 2 turn later? Utrecht was becoming unhappy on T46 so I would have to go back further than T45 if I want to fix that...do you think I should? Also maybe I...

    UPDATE Rotterdam settled on T:49. Seems like a really good start to me so far. :) 4 Cities before 2000bc all overlapping and with a lot of options for tile sharing. I haven't explored it yet on this play through, but I know there is fish food to the SW...how does that sound for a 5th city?

    Thank you so much Lymond! That is a lot of information and you perfectly answered my question about the pre chop. :) However, it does appear I have screwed up the timings in my game...settler is getting ready to pop on turn 43 with no whip and I am still size 3. I was trying to setup that really...
