So where were we: finishing a first circle (3 settlers), then going for spices and ivory (2), and finally going for a second circle ?

I think that we are working on the second circle now..... We can peel one off to head for the spices. Since we are planning on being at peace with MIA for a while, I'm not sure that we want to go for that ivory or will be able to get it.
IIRC, MIA's last city was ~ 8-10 tiles away from the ivory. Doesn't make sense to "steal" that away from them since we probably have one to the east. Also might foster good will if we point it out to them.
It's looking like we're going to have to go beat down TNT on the other continent since D'nuts are playing stoopidly

I'm hoping that once the 2nd circle settlers are running out we can get one of the 1st ringers on the pyramids.

Could the Hut Idiot post the latest dotmap please.

Yes, very good idea. Just a regular map would be nice. With gridsDaghdha said:

The hut idiot will try and see to it, but his secretary is keeping him busy and you might want to consider him dead for a week, as he might not be that active. Lotsa shizzle acting in my family and well, I gotta say I didn't help it.

Here's my attempt. I've only added one city from BeF's old dotmap. I can zoom it in a little if anyone wants it.

What are the odds there are four luxes around that mountain to the northwest of the dyes city?

I saw that too.... It just so happens that the two spots where the luxes should be are still in the fog.

it could. new town should be set to a wonder or palace to make it 100% sure that the chop goes to Ig.

Sounds good to me

I'm against before we can consolidate a little. Just for a little bit, boys. Right now we could make another settler or 2, then set the food pumps to all make workers and really push our land a notch above theirs. Once that is underway we can start one or 2 wonders up front in their faces.
We've had discussions about how we needed to make sure our land was solid enough militarily before expanding further, and it applies here too IMO. As much as it might scare them for us to dual wonder, it might also push them to league against us - that's my RTS FFA PvP point of view.
What I propose is get to ~2.5 workers per city before we start wonders, so that we're all set with roads and our second ring cities start having life in them. That way, they can come with all they have and it won't seem much - we're just not sure how much trouble we can magnet our way with the wonders right now.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. What I was suggesting is using it as a placeholder like Grahamiam suggested. However instead of a palace placeholder which is transparent we put up a wonder placeholder that will be gone once the chops are done.

i posted similar sentiments in the Mil Thread, so I totally agree with BeF. Too much expansion too fast is just asking for trouble.
edit: sorry, now I get it. BeF, it's just for 1 turn, to direct a forest chop or 2 towards Ignoramous, for the rax.

I'm not a good enough game strategist to have an opinion on we should be building, but BEF has a good point. The other teams are going to be jealous enough with our score now being #1 as it is. If we do decide to reset a build to a wonder during the forest chop, might it be a good idea to let at least MIA and Dnuts know what we're up to through the diplo channels??? TNT can just be confused, since they seem like like that state of mind so much.

It'll only be for one or two turns!!! after that it'll switch to a rax or a worker build prolly. We aren't building wonders.
Say it with me now.... We..... aren't...... building...... wonders.
I doubt that these guys are checking the wonder builds. They are definately not checking F11.

Having a pop-up saying we started building something would be hard to miss 
Sorry, I got carried away
So we settle our 2nd ring, the 3 other ressources, and go for the big bang o' consolidation ?
