there are 2 workers building roads, should be chopping. 2pop whip the library and settler. thers's no food by the iron, moving the axe NW to see if there's something off the coast. getting a couple hwachas out to knock down those archers, after taking Ulindi take peace.

 

[Asaf]

AMMM... Not to pressure anyone, but I think it's Cripp7's turn

 

[cripp7]

yes it is, i'll play in just a bit. was waiting on some input from anyone.

 

[Asaf]

In that case:

Sorry for not responding earlier

 

[cripp7]

okey dokey, will play today. expect post later

 

[cripp7]

Spoiler coast :

So where to settle? 1sw of fur gets cow/iron/fur or in between fur/spice? to get whale/iron

 

[mlinneak]

Looks like we'd be fighting for culture control of that cow so I would lean towards getting the whale even though it's unavailable till optics.

 

[Asaf]

I think we need the extra food here, so we fight (culturally) for these cows. 1SW of fur is good.

We could go 1NE of cows to get them more easily, but then we have more useless terrain in the south, and we're missing on the commerce from the sea, so I vote for 1SW of fur.

EDIT:

Construction is due in 2 turns and we have enough gold for it, after some tweaking of the research slider and Seoul's work tiles.

Oops... 3 turns. I guess we don't have enough gold.

 

[cripp7]

ok, i'll play on. was yesterday, but good now!

Crush and destroy!

Cripp7 - nice work. It's good to see you feel better.

I see we've switch to hereditary rule. We should send a unit or two to Cowville for happiness. Until then (next turn, when a close chariot reaches there) it should work the gold.

Currency is good. Mo' money less problems!

Why is Furry cow building a worker? we need culture there. We already have 5 workers (6 with the one cowville is building) so I think we should switch to library for now.

Is there a city south of avignon (next to the wheat)? We might want to build another city there. We don't have less than others (except for napo), even more. We have 5 cities, going on 6. Others have 9 (Napo), 5 (Roosy), 4 (Saladin & Augustus).

How do we want to win this game? Our options are:

Cultural - a longshot, since we don't have any wonders or GP yet, and we only have 1 religion in our territory which is not ours, but we do have 3 cities with good food sources and descent production (Seoul, Cowville, Ulundi - Ulundi with little production but a lot of food and commerce). We don't have much in them yet, but we can start investing.

Space race - we're quite behind in tech race, and this is a small world so we won't have many cities (unless we a lot, but even then it'll be difficult), so I say no.

Conquest? Domination? Diplo? need to discuss and decide.

BTW, I thought we agreed on 10 turns each...

 

[Asaf]

Ammm.... Hello? Anyone?

Thanks!

Agree with that, we have extra chariots healing up in Ulindi which one needs to scout out his horse situation, can see culture over it.

Umm, hehe. Might have miss clicked something, go ahead and switch to library

Don't know, maybe start that warrior in Nappy's land towards Shaka. Depending on what he has, we have enough to take out archers, just have to see

No other religions, need 9 cities for the 3 cathedrals. short on cities

Yes we do, sorry about that Just wanted to get Ulindi done and over with. 10 TURNS FROM HERE!

 

[mlinneak]

Looks good guys

I'm in agreement that we will have to decide between Conquest, Domination or Diplo

I should be able to play tomorrow after work

 

[Asaf]

mlinneak, is everything OK?

 

[cripp7]

not having heard from her in 4 days, maybe you go ahead and take it.

 

[Asaf]

We drop like flies...

I'll play tonight.

 

[cripp7]

I guess the fly paper is working

 

[mlinneak]

Hey guys, sorry about this disappearing act.
I certainly don't mean to drop out for good. If you don't mind, just skip me this round and I will pick up again on my next turnset. I apologize again for the delay and lack of notice. It's been very hectic irl.

 

[Asaf]

mlinneak - happens

As it turns out, I'll only be able to play tomorrow, so if you can play, the turn is yours. just post a message.
If not - I'll play tomorrow.

EDIT:
Wow, auto-censorship.
