Have been away for the weekend, but glad to see the game has started. I did get your mail McLMan, but there was no file attached so you'll have to resend it.

errr, plus 1 scout and 3 workers I hope....

Yes, sorry. 3 spears, 3 settlers, 3 workers, 1 scout.

...but there was no file attached so you'll have to resend it.

Boy do I feel stupid. Not used to sending attachments from home. In hindsight I picked the file but didn't hit the attach button.
Re-sent with save this time.

3 settlers, 3 workers and 3 spears.

Babylon has been founded in a fertile area, with surrounding grassland and plenty of rivers. There are some mountains here and there to break the flat monotony.

btw Bathsheba, is there any particular reason you chose PTW instead of C3C? Just curious.

 

[bathsheba666]

Our picky settlers still refuse to settle.
Perhaps next turn...

@Salte: not really sure.....

No warnings about bad starts, so I assume we're all set.

Must look up that link for GOTM rules.

I am about to send everyone an email, notifying you of my new email address. Please use this from now on.

Hey....just wondering...Are we going to do that email confirmation?When you reply to guy that plays before you,that sent you his save file,just to say I got your mail...bla,bla,bla,,,

 

[bathsheba666]

I usually post in the thread, so I don't tend to send that email.

If I did not post in the thread, then I would definitely send the email.

I think this is important in the first 20 or so moves to build everyone's confidence.
After that, it's not so important...
... until something breaks down, then you realise what a good idea it was.

 

[McLMan]

More tiles exposed. More Choices

[Salte]

Popped a hut and got barbs, never had that on my second turn before. Maybe it's because of the extra units.

Can't delay for ever.

Settled two riverside towns in an otherwise featureless landscape.

Found some nice spots to settle my other two towns...

 

[McLMan]

Found a hut. Salte has me nervous about popping it!

 

[Salte]

Luckily my settlers survived the barb onslaught.
GPS to the english.

 

[bathsheba666]

All towns settled, and we have some catching up to do.

No baa-baas reported yet by our advisors.

If we make it to the Middle Ages, this grassland will be fertile.

Saw a cow finally, outside the radius after settling our second city.

Oh for a cheap temple....

 

[big mazy]
