@Coastal capital :
It would probably translate into 4 inland cities (copper+rice) before committing to Galley + double Workboat (110H),
Which could prove beneficial if it means more workers to improve the land. Delaying the offshore investment
should improve the land eco.
Reaching Fishing + Pottery in a timely manner is still a stake.
Offhand, I see Sailing coming after Pottery.
Also, I see the fast Library as being a trap. Backfilling Hunting after Writing is a real possibility.
@Fish Man:
Invading Ragnar first cuts your trade routes to like 30+ overseas cities. Not my preferred route
Please gives us details on your catapult strats ? Macemen City Raider III are not Gundpowder units and, thus, can redrum Rifles/Infantries ?
