It's not 24 hours yet...

ok: I got it

 

[pindicator]

A 3-turn settler factory? Maybe a Warrior + Settler 4-turn, but we'd need to pull in 10fpt on one turn to get a 3-turn and with 3 cows the best we could do is 8fpt.

Still, not complaining at all. We'll need to get as many towns out as soon as possible and that granary will help a lot.

And can we get a screenshot?

[conehead234]

Good job. Lots of wars going on. That should slow down the tech pace.

 

[Ankka]

Bede, if you want to, you may play before me as tomorrow is the earliest I can take the turns.

 

[pindicator]

Nice turns Rik Meleet. Is it possible that we have more land to the west? Or do we need to get a galley to continue the settling?

 

[Rik Meleet]

There seems to be a lot more good land to our west. I'll post a screenie of that area.

 

[Bede]

@Ankka,

May not get to it tonight. so if you don't see a post from me by noon your time, pick it up from here

 

[Ankka]

Ok.

Good thing there's the extra land to the west, we'd have some seroious trouble with too little land otherwise.

 

[Ankka]

You take it, Bede, I'm having lot's of things to do as the schoolyear is ending and we're having final exams etc.

Luckily only 4 weeks left of schol this spring anymore. [dance]

 

[Bede]

Got it

Westward Ho!

 

[Rik Meleet]

Bede informed me through PM that I've made a mistake.
I played my turns in C3C, not in PTW. Sorry sorry sorry.

If you want I can replay my turns in PTW. What do we want ?

Sorry sorry sorry.

p.s. Bede; I can't reply to you, your mailbox is full

 

[Ankka]

If you just can, please replay them. You can also remember if you made mistakes and fix them.

 

[Rik Meleet]

replaying the turns now.

IHT. Medina will grow to size 2 in 13, worker finishes in 3. Change worker to warrior. Switch Damascus to temple to let it expands it's borders and then to be turned (with granary into a worker or settler pump). Can't down lux in PTW. Rest looks good.

IBT Chinese start Oracle and Colossus. An American SoD of 3 archers and 2 warriors are seen near Ottoman land.

IBT: Americans ask our scout to leave his lands. Just passing Abe. Egyptians start Oracle. Some civs know MapMaking.
Mecca settler -> settler.
Baghdad temple -> warrior
Najran warrior -> warrior

[2] 1675 BC. Downed lux. Sending settler to the West.
IBT: We witness some American-Ottoman fighting. Barb horse appears next to our worker near Medina.
Medina warrior -> worker

[3] 1650 BC. New Medina warrior moves to defend worker. To our north our warrior meets 4 scandinavian archer, a scandinavian warrior. SoD is 5 tiles north + 1 NW of our capital. What are they doing there ?
IBT: SoD is moving closer to Damascus (2 tiles N + 2 tiles NW).

[4] 1625 BC. Move warrior back to Damascus-area. Vikings no longer polite with us; they are Cautious. Up lux.
IBT: Spanish want to talk. They want WM + 110 gold for their WM. Don't think so. SoD moves, not sure of their intentions.

IBT: Damascus temple -> Granary

[8] 1525 BC. Guarded settler does not stand next to barb 2/2 warrior. But on the same nice location. found "Kufah" Starts temple (to be vetoed). Now we see the 2/2 barb warrior. I wanted to do the same deals. I can't; I have less money; only 162 gold and the techs are distributed differently.

We now have 234 gold. +1 gpt.
Embassy with Egypt: 58 gold. America 51 gold. Ottoman: 68 gold. India: 43 gold. Can't build with Spain.

I have screenshots of all embassies, but I'm not going to upload all.
