REMEMBER: 24h to say "got it", total 48h to complete.

 

[vbraun]

I belive it is a 5 turn settler factory.

 

[Ankka]

Before you play, Manwaring, I would like people to check the save and post ideas on what to do now, a dotmap would be cool too.

 

[Ankka]

5 turn? That's great.

 

[Manwaring]

I got it.....................here are some more characters
Okay let me read back to the other page abit [edit]

 

[Ankka]

A possible dotmap:

 

[Manwaring]

The best locations seem to be the one with the forest, like in your pic or the one by the fish. Not really an expert on city placement myself so advice is welcome.

I the best thing to do now would to be to keep pumping out setters and try to out expand the Mongols, so as not to be crushed. We should also try and link up the lux to the west as soon as we can.

 

[Ankka]

I think the East need only one settler. After that we can start pumping out them towards Mongolia. Let's not get this into a situation like Ank07 where we got only a little piece of land.

 

[Ankka]

I think you should wait until some more experienced people in city placing post ideas...

 

[Manwaring]

So, does the current settler go to the incense by the coast? or the Trees and sugar?
[edit] Will do

 

[vbraun]

We should expand as fast as possible towards the Mongols so we for sure have enough land and then can fill in the rest with ease. Would it be possible for a quick war with the monogols before they become too much of a problem? (Keshiks)

Edit: According to OCP a city should go on the forest with sugar dot.

 

[Ankka]

Yes, the sugar dot would be one of the best so far explored...

We need a unit to check out those lands to the near East.

 

[Kuningas]

West spot should go 1 tile NW on incence hill. I´m not sure about the Eastern spots. Have to check them later.

On research path: Beeline on CoL. Then research Philosophy and get the Republic freebie.

 

[Ankka]

Why CoL? ...

 

[Ankka]

Yes, the West spot should be on the Incense hill. I would have build it there too.

 

[Manwaring]

So the best idea is go for Incense hill with the currently built settler?

 

[Ankka]

I think so.

 

[Manwaring]

1. Move Settler towards to incense. Move warrior north.
2. Move warrior north, contact with Aztecs, they have warrior code and wont trade for any thing.
3. Worker is done with road, move to irragate.
4.Helsikikey builds settler > settler. Turku builds warrior (and now i am wondering what to build next) and where to send the next settler

 

[Ankka]

How long did you play? Are you on turn 4?

Where's the settler that was there when you started? At the Incense?

 

[Manwaring]

I can found the city on the incense next turn. Yes i am on turn 4.
The forest beside the water (as on your map) looks like the best spot for next settler but is that againist the rules we are using?
