there are several settlers on goto for these places: far eastern peninsular tip, west coast ion the horse to grab all the fishes there, one is going norht to the hills.

I do NOT mind if the Germans settle between us or if you skip a few tiles - we will take towns later and abandon htm when we have settlers in perfect spots, and I want to control as much land as possible, a wheat or a few grasslands lost is better than overlap. Only tax resorces are an exception to this (gold)!

Chieftess: keep growing, asending out settlers to fill the jungle, also get barracks and Horsemen, but PLEASE, everyone, WE NEED TEMPLES IN ALL CITIES!!! otherwise, flips will be bad! It will be a long campaign against Germany!

i agree with meli, the rest of our island is jungle we must take the german territory by force.

IMHO we have still room to expand without getting in the jungle too much.

Meli suggests getting TGL with a GL. Isn't that a bit risky? Could take forever to get a GL. I don't mind war, but why not wait until we can't expand anymore? Killer explained in the game setup that 512 cities is the maximum and with 24 civs, we get there soon... Focussing on war ALONE will eventually hurt us if we are too quick.

Killer: The temples are a great idea Cheap for us, we should profit from that.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Aggie: I agree we want to kill Germany fast, but i do see your point. The problem is that we will suddenly see that we cannot build cities anymore, so will Germany - and the fight is on.


So, I'd rather get some military while positioning the settlers for max size cities.

Also, I suggested Barcelona for aprebuild because it can build the Palace, then be switched or not, depending on whether we get the leader or not.

 

[Chieftess]

I rarely get GLs... except for Civ3 Demogames...

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

already in place:

 

[Chieftess]

For the bottom picture, why there? There's a lot of hills.. there's another hill to the SE (I think there is - it's hard to tell without the gridlines), and jungle that could be cleared.. Wouldn't it be more production?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Chiueftess: grabs both Fishes and the gold. we can place filler later, but I want a few strong producer coastal cities soon. Feel free to move it - but this one would be a fast starter once it has expanded its borders the first time.

 

[anarres]

Doesn't the tile to the SE also get both fish and gold?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

anarres: yes it does.

 

[Chieftess]

So, build where? Where the settler is?

 

[anarres]

I was agreeing with you CT that the settler would be better on the tile to the SE of where it is, since it can still get both fish and the gold, and it gets the jungle squares.

But hey, I'm just a lurker

And we welcome your input

Killer, I agree with you that we should build up military to get an advantage.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Chieftess: as I posted above: feel free to move them.

I told you where they were going so that you could let them keep going and not bother, but I won't ever tell anyone to do so - if you want, stop them and move them otherwise!

 

[Aggie]

Chieftess: any progress?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Chieftess??????

I you played less then ten turns you can hand it over if you have no time atm, no problem.....

or (if you can) post partial reports please

 

[Aggie]

Killer, I suggest that we move on to the next player and that you introduce a time schedule. Something like 24h 'got it' and 48h to play.... I REALLY want to play this one...

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Chieftess says she had difficulties as the familiy was hogging the computer - expect her to play soon.

the usual 24h got it applies obviously.

48 playing time for the present, this will be adjusted later on.
