Proposed pony dot is good to go and settler is almost done.
Currently in anarchy from the slavery revolt so bully for me.
Hank Jr., the fog busting warrior in the east needs to heal his raiming .2 health and then will move him away from hattys land as there's no point shielding her from her fair share of barbs =p
Oh and named the worker =p
Silver had to punk 13 barbs alone his turn set and well axes and spears are about to appear... not sure this is the map script for raging barbs to be honest since we have like no food to leverage.
Only barb seen is near Alen LeMay in the east and well the moment I see something worst than said warrior, he's running for his life to fog bust in a less isolated spot.

Barb Warrior side steps around Alan Lemay and ug, a barb spear pops out of the western fog. Time to run! need an archer to take that hill.
A warrior steps out of the fog from the east as well and is going for us I suppose =p
6 turns still on crappy event anger.
Pottery is looking 12 turns to IW's 36
yah no effing way... keep it going on pottery as we desperately need those granaries up.
Using the ultra HAX Control click to open up trade windows, Nappy has clearly founded Orleans while Hatty is still only at capital.
Settler in 2 the 4 archers in Istanbul who has 6 bogus turns of anger from crap event we cannot afford.
[2]2300 BC
Barb warrior continues on towards istanbul ignoring lemay, sigh.
Move William tell (combat 2) archer out of Istanbul on the way to pony dot... The rest are healing still.
Hank Jr (woods1 warrior) is near pony dot now and no sign of the eastern barb phew.
[3]2275 BC
Alan punks the warrior only to now see effing two spears... uh iok well moving an archer up to the north woods as there's obviously going to be an ENDLESS flood of crap coming from the north. he's down to effing .3 health so ug running back.
The moron AI city placement pos is spot on again...
look how it deftly avoids those Evil jumbos and adroitly hooks up to some valuable tundra! I honestly don;t understand how effing moronic those blue circles are, it's like they purposely try and get the player to settle in craptastic locations just for giggles.
I hem and haw about the build in Istanbul and notice 4 turns left on the event anger. Hmm so slot in a 3 turn archer as I pushed out the door the newly healed Robin Hood (combat 1) on the way to pony dot.
[4]2250 BC
Hatty pops a town and spear moves closer.. Ford is NE of the corn to head that spear off.
[5]2225 BC
Spear attacks Harris Ford who wins with 3.9 strength left and a promo... I go hills as he;s going to be busting some fog in the north.
Found Pony Dot and Chagrin is there cringing from the barbs all around... Honestly see no way to chop Stone henge here the worker is cowering in the SW corner just trying to complete the road and still getting moved off by various barbs. Add to all that we need more military to fog bust and escort hehe.. I don;t see it as feasible.
science at 80%
A wounded nappy archer is poking around as well. good to see those fools are getting hit.
[6]2200 BC
Fred Bear pops in Istanbul and the west spear is about to jump on the roaded mine, move him over to defend. Push a barracks so I can 2 pop whip it next turn and put the overflow into a worker if no one dies =/
Also barb spear pops in the east to attack pony dot.. have robin hood and William Tell there + Hank jr. who's going to be mini fog busting the south soon. These spears are ugly without axes.
[7]2175 BC
Wow, the barb spear attacks the new archer Fred Bear who is flawless, only got 1 xp out of it but hmm will keep him on that mine til border expansion.
Barb Spear maybe warrior is about to attack pony dot, should be ok with hank and William tell there. Robin Hood just got there as well so np. Just hop more more barbs show up for a bit.
Huh barracks is only 4 turns now that we can work the mine, no whip here then as growth is pretty much stalled doing this.
Barb warrior is adjacent to Mr. ford as well... lets hope he attacks.
[8]2150 BC
uh this is bad.
Spear Takes William Tell down to .7 strength though the warrior runs away, 2 effing barb archers pop out of the fog and are coming at pony dot and that warrior is still close. Move hank jr. back into pony.
Barb warrior in the NW is aiming for the corn, ford can easily punk him.
[9]2125 BC
Fred in the south punks an eastern warrior for free exp (3/2) While Ford in the north is attacked by that warrior.
Pony dot now has to contend with 2 archers and 1 barb warrior... with william hurt... oh man come on Robin Hood save us.
[10]2100 BC
Holy Crap!
Robin hood beats down BOTH barb archers while a gravely wounded William Tell exps off the warrior! Is Robin is down to .9 health but what an effing hero.
ok so yay for Istanbul popping it's borders..
Mass nearby fog is busted. Warriors are going to fog bust the SE then.
[11]2075 BC
Barb archer appears between Istanbul and pony dot... no idea which way it's going to go. Hill promoted Ford pops next to a Barb archer in the NW as well
Barracks finishes in Istanbul onto another archer.
[12]2050 BC
Ford takes out the archer and another pops up on Lemays old hill... joy. Down to 2.1 health.
Barb archer is making a beeline for the corn of course and since it's on the other side of the river , I really cannot defend it. need a chariot jsut to punk crap landing on that corn. Also need to place an archer up on that hill where all the effing barbs are coming from.
Well trade from pony to capital is done so uh can get to chariots before the barbs take the road out.
[13]2025 BC
Uh 2 archer in the NW now and an archer on the corn with no tools to protect it.
[14]2000 BC
Ford punks one of those archers and the other doesn;t move closer... ok well he's up to 8 exp and at 1.8 strength.... he'll run away if that archer comes closer hehe.
Pottery comes in and screen doesn;t take, joy... I'll pause here actually since next tech of writing or IW are so far far away its ugly.
20 turns on writing and 39 on IW... Honestly I don;t see this game as doable as we cannot really afford to whip anything to counter the endless flood of barbs hehe
11 barbs in 14 turns btw no losses.
Oh and Welcome loki!
Cheers!
