* West and North of Jamestown
* NorthWest of Norfolk
* Hill Sites are especially good as they get defence bonuses.
* Search for Luxury and Treasure producing sites.
1. Wheat and Cow site ... to hinder Dutch going South.
2. Golden Hills.
3. Above Annapolis ... from Yorktown unloading.
4. Iron Hills in North ??? ... to hinder Dutch going North.
Others ... in no particular order.
* Maybe allow the gap else the Dutch will attack out of frustration, so get Gold connected to core.

The Royal Marriage ...
I, Ferric Auris III Queen of England, who is actually a man, but one with a weakness for women's fashion am betrothed.
wonder who will wear the wedding dress me or the 'young, extremely beautiful and wild' French bride, daughter of Roy de France, the King of France.
Kingdoms Alligned
This includes doubling our tech research, trading knowledge cheaply, sharing plans and maps, sharing intelegence of the other teams ... and dividing the new world which will hamper the expansion of the others ... Any extra luxury or strategic resource should be automatically gifted to the other party ... we are engaged after all LOL ... We should swap World Maps too at some stage ...
Regarding our rivals ... I think that we should cease all future technology trade ... and discuss if an opportunity does arise ... I would agree to a veto clause which states that we can trade with any rival ONLY if we both agree.
French Pirates will be named with a W.
>
>
French 1527 ... <snip>
The ideas of Luther (Protestatism) seems a better Religion than our current 'Pope'ism... but my doubt is if the duration of the anarchy period which will certainly follow this change is worth the change.
Our pirate design ships are in the making and should came out within 3 turns. After that I plan to research Scientific Method, which opens up doors to 'Medicine' and 'Military Tradition'...
<snip>
Cheers, Le Roy
>
Me 1527 ... <snip>
Next technology I will go for Mercantilism and try for Smith's Trading Company wonder.
Regarding which religion, since we are both Catholic, we can wait to evaluate which religion is better at a later date ... the period of anarchy is a big issue and Spain and Portugal have the advantage both having the Religious trait.
<snip>
Cheers, Ferric Auris III of Britain
>
French 1528 ... Dear Sir, I agree to wait on the choice of religion.
Spain has moved one Army North of Teotihuacan... don't take it as a good sign. But we'll see.
I don't often read the spoiler as it feels like reading your diary! Anyway, I took a look and I plan to settle 2 tiles South of Stellenbosch. You see... I don't have horses so I can't build Knights! So I was looking for a horse resource.
I am building colonists, Musketeers, Frigates and Temples.
Cheers,
Roy de France
AND
Dear Sir,
The portrait is finished!
You'll be able to see all the splendour of my lovely daughter. She is in underware, but you'll be her husband so I trust you to keep it to your eyes only.
I know that after seeing it you'll be anxious to have her with you, but we'll have to wait for the proper marriage, even if it is a secret one!
Cheers,
Roy de France, father of a beautifull sexy girl
Spoiler Warning of a Hirsute Nature :
>
Me 1528 ... Dear Roy de France
What an unexpected vision of hairy beauty your daughter is ... I shall carry her picture close to my heart ... and I am having additional barbers trained to join my household staff.
Regarding settling, there are 2 options
1. I shall settle in original spot (SE of Cows, NE of Wheat) and you settle (S of Horses)
2. I can settle on the Wheat and then road horses and trade.
What are your thoughts?
We must prevent the Dutch getting access, I can build a city in either location in 3 turns.
>
French 1529 ... Dear Son-in-law,
I have a colonizer ready to settle South of the horses tile in 3\4 turns. Is that suitable to your grand city scheme?
Next turn... I can start pirating! I'm also anxious to see who also has it. Scientific Method will be next.
I have explored a bit of South America and am sending maps with more details. I shall desembark a explorer in Africa next turn.
Greetings my son,
Roy de France, a big macho man!
>
Me 1529 ... Dear Sir
How is my little poppet? Well Groomed I trust LOL
Great News for this year is that I have gathered enough Tobacco to create 2 Treasures ... my people will soon be all a puffing.
I will settle as planned in 2 turns giving you space to settle south of horses ... I will also move my spare Pike around so Dutch can see to block his movement ... as if claiming next site for myself. When you do settle, we can make a big public thing about how crowded things are becoming ... it will ease any suspicions others may have.
Re-reading Classical Hero's comments about ONLY Lurkers and qummik being able to look into his spoiler, I suspect that Spain is very friendly with Portugal. Something we should be wary of !!!
It is now safe for you to discontinue Wine trade ... it will save the 3 gold I am giving you. Remember to restart in the same turn as a gift ... I and my people are enjoying your excellent grape juice.
Africa looks good, and perhaps forgotten by many ... you should be able to get a good secure foothold and get Ivory
Until next year I lift a goblet to your good health, Ferric Auris III of England

* Cities cannot be founded on Forest, Jungle, Swamp, Mountains.
* Explorers disband to 2 Shields
* Treasure is 200 Gold and 1000 Victory Points when returned to Capital.
* Overlap Cities to get access to Luxuries ... this will enable more Treasure units.
