The report:
(2) We meet our friend Asoka as his warrior comes up from the South. It turns out that it was this dear friend who founded Hinduism just one turn before we did. But that's okay, cuz we're friends. Wait, no, it's not. He'll pay for it later.
(IT) Our warrior kills two lions without losing any health. this is foreshadowing his skills to come.
(4) Hut gives our warrior experience. We can see Asoka's borders. They are to the west and slightly north or us.
(8) Worker is built and starts a forest chop to speed settler production. Hut gives 82 gold
(9) Bronze working in. I decide not to revolt to slavery yet as are growth rate it still too slow to really take advantage of whipping. Later we will want to switch though. Select Hunting as next research for camps and on the way to AH.
(10) Promote warrior to Woodsman II for faster exploration
(13) I meant to put one chop into the forest directly east and then move to build a camp when Hunting came in. But I forgot to change settler commands and he will end up completing the chop. Not a big deal as it will help speed our expansion
(IT) Warrior kills a bear and two wolves! I official rename him "Beast Slayer" in honor of his proud history of animal destruction.
(14) Hunting is in. I select AH next. Beast Slayer moves onto forested hill to heal.
(15) Forest chop completes and we are six turns to a settler. Here's an overview of the world as we now know it:
We should keep the expansion efforts going while trying to see what wonders we can land before the switch to Deity. Asoka is going to have to get it later because he stole our religion. We couldn't found it ourself, but one day I think we need to make the holy city ours anyways. But that will have to wait until later. For now Asoka, you can be our buddy.
Here's the save:
. And you're right to do so. I wasn't at home unexpectedly, so I couldn't get to it. But I'll post tonight, promised
