General Turn Discussion

[Memphus]

So wow alot of hills out there.

Anyone feel we should move somewhere other than SW (1) next turn?

 

[Krill]

Just an aside, but I really hope we have a fish/clam/crab to the north of those desert hills.

Also, moving 1SW works, it'll show if there are any more peaks to the NW of the warrior and the SW.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

SW (1) is good for me.

More and more, I think right where the warrior is our #2 city spot.

btw - can we name our warrior? He's the first one we made, he's going to be all over the place. Maybe after an early Dutch explorer? This page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dutch_explorers has a list of Dutch explorers. I'm thinking Willem Barentsz (wikipedia says the Barents Sea is named after him)

 

[dutchfire]

2W of the warrior is clearly a hill, 2S2W is another mountain. I think going SW and then through the mountain pass is the best idea.

edit: Looks like there are mountains 3N1W and 4N of the warrior as well. A city on the tile the warrior is on now could work well, though it'll probably be low on food until windmills.

edit 2: Barentsz would be a nice name for our explorer.

Mining is not neccesary to see the gold.

Right...very well then.

Ok, this is driving me insane.

-------------

Yeah, actually 1SW looks good. From there though I think we should start moseying Bear Chum on toward the East and see what the terrain looks like South of Inner Sanctum.

 

[Krill]

Almost our turn again...would it be possible for someone to go into the game and get the demographics screen shot?

 

[Karhu]

I concur, SW to start circling round.

 

[remake20]

I concur, SW to start circling round.

Ditto here

 

[azzaman333]

Right now, I can see two options for the Warrior. Either going further west, or circling around the south of the capital.

When are we planning on building a new warrior in our capital?

 

[Memphus]

next build is worker. then warrior.

 

[azzaman333]

In that case, I'd rather our warrior didn't circle around.

 

[Viva_Chingon]

I think I see your logic.

Send the warrior off and then let the second warrior scout for sites. This allows Warrior 1 to go out and find another Civ (hopefully) before they find us.

Honestly, I like this train of thought and am compelled to agree.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I'm fine with going off - it's generally the way I do things in single player, but this is multiplayer - do we run a risk of another civ finding us and whacking us?

In any case, SW works.

 

[Viva_Chingon]

Do we run a risk of another civ finding us and whacking us?

A weighty consideration...but we should have that warrior out around turn 20 (or slightly after). The barbs shouldn't be an issue until around that time or later either.

 

[General_W]

I like SW (1).

Not sure what to think about leaving our capitol undefended... but if by the time the warrior is finished building we seem to be protected by mountains from quick contact... then I'd be more comfortable with it.

EDIT: oh, and here's an empire Shot for anyone that wants it.

And I like "Barentsz" for our warrior scout's name!

 

[Memphus]

So do we go S, SE or NW? 2,3 or 7?

 

[Karhu]

I'm going to argue SW, followed by the completion of a half crescent back toward our Capital. (By the way, weren't we going to name it Three Immortals?) After that, the warrior should head southward. This will give us an idea of how large this landmass is we are on. He can zig back and forth or do whatever we deem best at the time.

The second warrior can pick up the job of scouting the immediate area by finishing off the crescent.

I'm not to worried about defending our cities in the early game. The size of the map and low number of teams means there is more risk from a barb event (which wouldn't happen during the warrior phase) then from an attack by another team.

 

[remake20]

I think we should go SE because we will have increased vision from the hill.
