OK, I finished the 2nd settler in Zimbabwe. Please note where he is headed: to the tile between the iron and wheat on the lake. That warrior on the other side of the lake is going to the same place as a defender. Be sure to connect that iron!
I am building a barracks in Bapedi so we can upgrade the warriors to swordsmen. Let'd get this warmongering started! I guess you don't have to build a barracks now, but it sure would be nice to have 3 swordsmen without having to wait to build them the slow way!
History:
3100 let worker finish road tile, switched to produce warrior in zimbabwe because we need mil. unit and not enough population when warrior would be finished. After the warrior is finished the settler will complete exactly when the pop. goes from 2 to 3!
3050 moved worker to irrigate the cow next to Zimbabwe, contacted germany
3000 got iron working from goody hut, met Iroquois. I offered
masonry for the wheel, same cost, he was insulted, offered some outrageously unfair trade. No way, we will get it from a goody hut sooner or later.
2950 got math tech from goody hut (hey, we have 7 scouts! How do you like expansionist civs, Heiner?)
2900 warrior finished, started settler in zimbabwe (will finish just when pop. = 3!)
2850 got writing from goody hut
2710 got literature from goody hut (I made a civ3 joke about this but I'll post it below).
2630 got philosophy from goody hut, settler complete. need to move settler west, on the lake between the iron and the wheat. It looks good to expand in this direction further eventually because we have furs and other good stuff out there.
Who is next? Let the a**-whupping begin!
Killer, I will also post it to the file server.
