JH-1: Restless Indians

[rddc05]

Well, the great thing about SG's is the chance to learn and improve. We probably should have waited on our axes to take the barb city so that it wouldn't auto-raze.

I would wait on the axe to take the city back. We may also want to farm the wheat at Teotihuacan and get more growth going there. Hopefully we will have a tech or two to trade Huayna and make some more tech progress. Code of Laws will be needed pretty soon if we are going to keep expanding.

 

[JerichoHill]

Take it while its rebelling. We get our culture back.

 

[rddc05]

We should get what little culture was there back anyway, even after the rebellion stops. Trying to take it with the archer/warrior will be risky, as I believe the archer isn't at full health.

 

[Thefigman]

Archer should be at full health next turn, me thinks.

[Thefigman]

I will be out of pocket on a business trip until Next Sunday. I will be checking in on the site, but my business laptop can't play the game.

 

[madviking]

OK, my poor old notebook crashed after I saved, and I did some stuff

Teno: citizens on wheat (farmed) copper and forest camp beaver.

Since I can't write it up here is a summary:
on turn zero I got Tlaco back with the archer (~49% odds)
made axes and now teh barbs have axes, start promoting to shock.

~SAVE~

[rddc05]

OK, pretty uneventful turns. Settled Texcoco in the coastal cows spot. The variant rules are going to make it extremely difficult to make a showing in this game. I'm at a loss for a good strategy.

Next player may want to check to see if we can sell Huayna some furs, I forgot to do that after hooking them up.

Here's the save:

 

[JerichoHill]

got it, will play tonight...

I'll try and devise a strategy.

And the variant rules were supposed to make this freaking tough. hurrah!
