[End of session 2]

 

[LKendter]

The conquest in Incan territory.

 

[LKendter]

 

[LKendter]

The new conquests from Maghreb. Once the Canadian wave ends, you can see the next few cities to take out. There is a large stack building up my Marrakesh.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Good expansion.

For being the Incan capitol, there were not a lot of troops.

Ollantaytambo became the Captial after I captured Cuzco (which also was defended by 4 Firelancers). I think they just kept sending their Crossbows as they built them after our cities, never expecting us to attack them.

I wonder why India is going through Arabia to get to us at Machu Piccu instead of attacking Torin.

 

[LKendter]

Please continue the plan to AVOID navigation as long as possible. All of those free settlers from Oracle are a large part of why we are doing so well. It can't be delayed much longer. The tech path left is jurisprudence, medicine, ballistics (killing knights of the realm), and bastion fortifications. After that navigation is forced to be researched. Post navigation we are to the standard point of avoiding military tradition and the death of castles.

Galileo's University is locked. It completes next turn.

A new settler just left Rome. We are running out of obvious spots. My gut says send it toward China to fill in a border gap near Maghreb.

New York needs a courthouse ASAP. It is just short of 1-turn knights. We need knights more than muskets right now. I've lost a lot of knights.

There is one knight exploring tundra near former China. I'd like to confirm it is empty.

Most of the workers are back in the core. I've gotten multiple core cities to 100%. Several missing one or two tiles are being worked on right now.

Plan on a prebuild to get Supreme Court ASAP. We can use those lawyers to get artist to keep the culture bombs coming.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Note: Lee your labeling of years in your report went 1780 -> 1790 -> 1795 skipping 1785. I checked because you up loaded the 1790AD save. That saves seems to be the correct one based on the information in your report.

The Supreme Court has to be built in Rome.

Fixed the report for the mixed up years.

 

[LKendter]

Don't forget to keep starving the Maghreb and Inca cities. We can't afford more flips like Cuzco.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Here are a couple of potential city sites:
First is Red Circle. I think this is a better spot than the White Circle. White circle as 3 more bonus tiles that Red Circle. However, Red Circle has a Whale and Kelp which make up for 2 of the 3 loss shields. Also, Red Circle has 8 sea tiles vs whites 5 tiles this means 3 extra gold per turn for Red and when a dock yard is built Red will gain 3 shields over White. In Addition, the Wale and Kelp provide 2 extra food and 2 extra gold.

Brown Circle fits nicely into our nation and moves us toward the Maghreb and does not require road building to access our resources.

 

[LKendter]

I like brown dot. It fits my goal of filling in the Maghreb area nicely.

Now that I'm home from camping, I can take the save.

Sorry, forgot that notice.
Enjoy building us another wonder.

 

[Elephantium]

Can cities in resistance still flip after you destroy their original civilization? Asking for a friend

 

[Elephantium]

Also, any objections to blue dot? It's closer for the settler than @Jersey Joe 's excellent brown dot.
