Preflight:
hehe, I add capturewinpro as just one more of my legion of civ sg tools in the other monitor. too bad all the colors for the toolbar are garish looking.
oh also using notetab light as a textpad replacement... on the pre 1.52 crashes, I lost so many writeups because I forgot to save after every text entry, I moved to this program... it's really sweet.
ok sort of limited on resources but our normal tiles are all food rich and we are on a river. A good mix of forests (5) as well, not bad.
since buildling a worker change from working a forest tile to working the third flood plains for the extra coin, cuts a turn off meditation..

worker is built whom I name Mel Lentz...
the man Jerry McKinnis of ESPN2's "The Fishin' Hole" says..
[lumberjack competitions are] certainly a compelling sport, one where there is a legitimate hero in the lumberjack world.
His name is Mel Lentz. And he is my hero...
yah ok! shame on you for not knowing all that!!!
start on another worker since they gonna be near the same archer, that allows the cutting to go faster and allows me to stay on the flood plain for the extra commerce. worker two in 10 turns.
Mel heads off to the closest forest out of the city radius SW where he and Leo the archer will hook up.
ok that was the entertainment for this boring turn!

ooooo Gazebo's telephone moma comes over the
www.cbs.nu yes, the 80's disco terror is arriving as we speak!!
start mel chopping.. says 30 hammahs
[3]2720 BC
lumberjack fun!
[4]2680 BC
forest cuts for 30 hammers and worker in 2. moving to next forest.
[5]2640 BC
Cyrus converts to hinduism.
next forest is 25 hammers.
[6]2600 BC
Justin Beckett (the worker) is born in Berlin and heads over to the sw... archer in 9 as I switch back to working a plains forest.
meditation came in, priesthood in 7 (was 6 working flood plains).
[7]2560 BC
zzzz
[8]2520 BC
oooh score, victoria says hi... 3/3 on no psychos! after zav04 with toku only like 20 tiles seperating our capitals, I relish the sane civ leaders!
[9]2480 BC
mel finishes his chop, archer in one turn... moves onto next.
Sven the archer will buddy up with mel prolly. start on a barracks before next archer.... it needs the chops more than the archer.
[10]2440 BC
mel and sven heading to the nw to chop
10 turns on barracks
[11]2400 BC
a lion pokes it's head out in the NW, mel and sven and paired so np.
[12]2360 BC
Judaism is founded somewhere.
[13]2320 BC
priesthood comes in, writing in 12 oracle takes 22 turns on a high hammer diet. we need barracks and archer to finish.
[14]2280 BC
45 hammers from two chops comes in, barracks in 1.
[15]2240 BC
barracks finishes and archer in 1 turn, queue up oracle to build after archer.
ok finished 2 workers and 2 archers... a 4 exp archer is due next turn for city garrison. barbs soon so keep him there.
crucial next step is make sure writing comes in before oracle finishes so we can grab code of laws.
Careful with those chops!
I switched berlin over to a high food/beaker setup to speed up max happy population and take writing down to 9 turns... play with the tiles to minimize the time it takes to get oracle + code of laws. if a few dead turns building a few scouts is fine!
next tech is masonry for pyramids, Animal husbandry to hook up the cows is important as well but masonry first.
5 is max happiness click stop growth next round.
not much else to show other than no souts killed.
Cheers!
