Settled in Place and began building a warrior first whilst researching Animal Husbandry to hook up the Pigs.
And we meet our first neighbor,
HC, well he must be real close. That much I will say, that rush we have been talking about really seems a sure thing now ...
and a short while later,
Our scouts have located our 2nd neighbor located a stones throw away from us, and I must say a very tempting looking capital
, given what I have just seen I would think Egypt must fall first
Our scout gets killed by a lion
We finish building our first warrior and start on a worker. And we bump into our third neighbor, this sure is a crowded part of the world
, oh well look here, its our old friend isnt it
,
As if he hasnt taken enough punishment in the last game, anyways he came from the east but I am yet to locate his capital.
We finish Researching AH and begin on Mining, weve got Horses
.
So the Chariot rush definitely becomes an option here doesnt it? Do we take Egypt with Chariots then? We finish Mining and begin researching BW as planned, here are my thoughts on some initial city placement.
Feedback please? Also do I settle one of these locations before rushing Egypt? (Maybe the red city) Or do we just go straight in for the rush? Meanwhile we finish building our first worker and begin on another warrior.
Our first warrior who was out exploring finds HCs capital.
I think the question of whether or not to rush is irrelevant here, The only decisions we need to make are who do we rush first and with what unit, also can we pull off multiple rushes here? I think it is possible but speed is of essence.
We finish building the warrior and begin on a 2nd worker. Research of BW is complete and we begin researching the wheel. Here are the locations with copper,
One in a planned city location, and the other just outside HCs borders on the Tundra. We complete our 2nd worker with the aid of some chopping and begin work on a Barrack next, we are three turns away from the Wheel and will hook up the Horses as soon as we complete researching it. Barracks will be ready by then and we will be ready to spam Chariots which I think is the way to go here, and given the lie of the land Egypt first and then HC, we also need to locate that fool Shaka. Heres a look at the world as we know it,
Game save attached.
