Hi Handy 
Feel free to comment on the game. 
I have settled two more towns and we should get the incense soon.
Opposition has been low so far. Just a bunch of warriors from the south.
We met Babylon. No activity from them yet.
I have sent out some exploring units To the south is a warrior that won't last too long, but can find some hills before the real units come at us and kill it. Near the Babylons, I checked the nearby area, but no more hills. I think the Spear can head back as I don't see a reason to explore outside the choke more. Going that way would mean fighting everyone at any town outside the choke and we can see all we could get with a choke town.
I went for Iron Working and we will finish on the next players turn. That will tell us if we have iron nearby. If we don't I would try to send out one or two more units to explore.
I was building temples for border expansions. This really will help us and temples are only 30 shields. We also should start a GLib prebuild on the next players turn for sure. I was thinking either the capitol or one of the towns after the temples complete.
To discuss: What tech to go for next.
I think we should go for Mathematics next. Catapults are too valuable - we need them before the swords come at us. After that we head toward Lit.

I agree completely. We will have to hope Iron is one one of those hills.

as I am flying back home on Friday morning, I need to be skipped the next few rounds. I'll be back in October, but immediately need to go for a staff retreat after coming back 
That was some tough warrior. I could not down load the save. Get Telefrag 404 msg, guess it is down now.
Does Elepantime have a temple? If not switch to that, it will need one to handle any growth while making a wonder. Otherwise I am not sure what coudl be built as we are probably a long ways from Lit coming in.

I think we may be able to get to the Iron - settle right on it and strongly defend. A city on a hill with walls can do fairly well with enough units. Hopefully before things got really intense we could find Iron to the south.
We could also build a very well defended colony - we don't get the wall bonus though
Edit: BTW, I don't think we are ready yet to do this. We would need archers to take out the town and spare Spear to defend the road and town.

Keep building the military. We will need it.
Aside: I joined a AW RaR game Emp1. It needs players if anyone can handle two AW games.

vxma, the temple in Elaphantine was done in the IT and then I started the palace. We can always work coastal tiles to slow the palace and IIRC th prebuild (which is now 600shields) will grow if we exceed a certain amount of cities.
I still cannot DL the sav, so I could not see for myself.

you got us the iron, hope we can defend the city and the supply lines though. The south looks very thin on troops and we have to be really careful not to lose ground there. Hopefulle we will get a sword army, that would surely help a lot

Yes, fine work. 
I've got it, but I can't play for at least 24 hours. So, Vmxa, if you'd like to play on Thursday, just go ahead and we'll swap.

The south is quite thin, I agree, but I thought the iron is more important. If we lose a town in the south it would not hurt too much although I think we can hold there. It is just impis and archers that are coming. Memphis and Heliopolis can now transfer units within a turn, so it is a little better there.
The iron town should be quite secure. IIRC there are two spears and 3 archers. As soon as the walls are up it should be strong enough to hold. Cats are also not far ahead, so it does not look too bad.

Go ahead NP, I can wait.
