Department of Scouting

I would really like to grab more luxuries, but that incense is a long way from getting roaded to do any good. I think we may want to concentrate on our ring for now.

Although, now that I re-read Tubby's post, you didn't say WHEN to do that, so my post could be superfluous.

Oh well, I'm one post closer to a custom avatar...
 
I was thinking after the initial ring was settled. Send one down there with an escort as a place holder. It can pump workers out and those workers can work on the road back to civilization while everyone else focuses on improving the core.
 
I think Joe should explore west right after the settler comes out. Simpleton won't need MP, and we'll have another city, so not as much to fear from our neighbor. Or should Joe be an escort?
 
OK. Joe goes exploring. I don't think that we need him as an escort. With Dunderhead where New City #1 is, we will have advance warning of any scouting warrior. And if need be we could rush a spear in Simpleton.

Dunderhead's first builds should be warrior, warrior, barracks, warrior/archer, etc. I envision that Dunderhead is going to be our military capital. 2nd city (Slave Drivers Inc.) can build workers exclusively.

How's that sound?

Since we are anarchists I don't know how having slaves would work. Our motivating factor is our own self-interest/satisfaction, so we need people to WANT to lead lives of menial labor.

For that reason I'll propose we name the 3rd city "Intertech" of Office Space fame. Riiiiiight. That would be greaaaaat.

Mkay...Does that work for everyone?
 
Yeah, sounds good :)
 
yeah, I'm fine. We're going to start needing some names. I'm not that good at coming up with them as you can see by my failed attempt.

In TR01 I named one city Smelly Horses (incense & horses in radius). Someone renamed it on their turns because they just couldn't take it any more. :shakehead:

Don't worry Tubby, I'll mine the fertile crevices of my mind for those importnat, game-winning details like city names, curtain colors, etc. to wit:

On further reflection, we may want to name city 3 'Lumberg,' or if anyone owns the movie :coffee: I'm gonna need one of you to come in this weekend and find out how to spell that one guys name, not Michael Bolton, but the other guy. Alright? Greaaaaaat. Either of those has a better ring than 'Intertech' for the third city. Mkay? Greaaaaaat :coffee: Or maybe TSP, or Milton, I'll check with the Bobs...
 
Uh...it's Bill Lumbergh, mkay? Mr. Booti we'd like you to work the rest of the weekend figuring out names. Mkay? I kind of like Gump Forest too. Mkay?

Totally lost here. This has to be some tv-show that haven't crossed the ocean.

I'm lost too Daghdha. I live in the U.S., but I never watch TV and Forrest Gump was probably the last movie I saw (how many years now since it came out?). I'm totally out of touch with pop culture...even my preferred music is classical, and I never recognize song or band names. I fit right in with a "stupid" theme. :p
 
The references above are from a movie called Office Space. Forest Gump ville would be good too. Or we could name it after his restaurant Bubba Gump
 
WOW! Thank you everyone in this forum for making a paunchy, rapidly balding thirty-something appear culturally hip :rockon:

Though in reality, I'm with gma, nothing goes better with an ocean-spaing military campaign than some Mahler, well maybe the finale movement of Copeland's 3rd...though Dvorak's 9th has its moments - uh oh - my true non-hip status is showing :eek:

Anything by Dvorak is good, Brahm's symphonies and his 1st Piano Concerto. My fav for playing civ is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet...lots of drama! :D
 
Dag, its funny you mention my favorite tax protester. I'm a classical/jazz nut and I can't stand country music. That is what I told my (now) wife when we were dating, that was her understanding when she accepted my proposal.

She came home one day and I was listening to Willie Nelson - I thought she was going to kill me. I forgot to mention the caveats, I like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.

She didn't give up her grudge until I pointed out that my affinity for those two gents can't begin to compare to the American Idol CD she 'said' came in the mail by mistake, but that she has kept.

Besides your right; Willie (and for my money Johnny) have some Civ cache. After all in each of my games "I've got a long list of real good reasons for all the things I've done...and I could cry for the time I've wasted, but that's a waste of time and tears."

And I think that we have all had a game or two that "fell into a burning ring of fire..."

In conclusion all I can say is :rockon:
 
Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson and Russians.
