What do we need colossus for or is it prebuild for GL

No, it should be switch to a settler next turn, the point is to make sure the chop next turn goes to Utica.

I suppose better to settle white before pink.

Yeah, you're right, I did the same for the bad city location before the good one, as the bad one was being conteseted.

Getting the wheel was a bit expensive I think. Just for getting iron?

I didn't even get iron . Every tech is useful to us, no matter what. We need to keep up to the middle ages, and iron working is required to get there. Also, iron working can be traded for a more valuable tech. The only techs we really need the benefits from are math and bronze, but sooner or later we will need engineering and feudalism, and need others too. We have to constantly trade, otherwise we'll be in the ancient times forever.

It looks like we need more workers. I think we should irrigate the wheat and build granary in the wheat city to make it a 3-turn worker factory. I like to have a lot of workers.

The dotmap looks good, i'd go for white first.

Yeah, let's make that city a worker factory. I love workers too, even when I'm industrious I have like 3 per city. What's great is that they can join cities. We shouldn't build any granaries, because we're industrious, with a lot of workers, we'll be done in 20 turns, and workers can join cities.

I think there´s no need to trade any techs for now, we should be able to cash in big time on lit. Buying techs like this will just fuel the AI they are strong enough like it is. I really prefer the pink as we might not make it to it when settling white first. We probably can just build 2 or 3 more cities when lucky. It´s just to good a location to miss out on.
Then start workers in capitol and wheat city get warriors for upgrade in other cities, or do we prefer horses? Do we want to take a shot at the GL? Probably a bit late now, especially if we want trade lit.

Do we want to take a shot at the GL?

Nah, without the GL is more fun. Maybe a near neighbor will have it.

or do we prefer horses?

I'm all for numidian mercenearys. When attack redlined defenders, 2 attack is all you need, horses will have to wait for the cats, and 2 attack vs spear isn't good unless this is emperor and we can heavily outnumber the AI. I like the beast defense of the numidian merc.

I guess you're right about the techs, I just hope we can monopolize it and there's lots of trading opportunities.

Something in the near future- Someone is gonna get dogpiled, and behind in tech, and we can trade with them. We wait until they have tech we don't have, then we buy/steal one they don't have, and trade.

 

[Pentium]

We shouldn't build any granaries,

Sure we should.
Granaries -> more workers. But now we expand and try to settler every piece of land we can.

Writing -> Lit then. Alright, if we get the monopoly. Later on, there will surely be some civs left behind, so we can trade with them.

 

[Own]

I meant no granaries other than the capital and worker factory. With a worker factory, industriousness, a small empire, we can finish out jobs quick and join cities. I'd rather spend 60 shields elsewhere.

SW! The colossus was just there for one turn so the chop would go to Utica. I've mentioned this about 5 times Eh, no biggie.

Let's not go max for philo, let's go max for lit, I'll doubt we'll get it first. SirPleb can get it on a huge arch map, but that's a different story, isolated AIs and more expensive techs.

IMPORTANT! I suggest the next player switch to max lit, won't waste science turns

Nice settling, SW. We got a big enough empire to take out Theodora's wits.

 

[soul_warrior]

sorry bout that colosuss.
tech is not invested, just a place holder

Where did the chop go? If it went to Carthage then it screwed up the 4 turner, but we've stopped expanding.

 

[nerovats]

Settle the settler 1 east or do we sent to to the rubble? When we're fortunate some neighbors will keep waring and razing, so we can fill in the gaps they leave. Going max on lit should give us a monopoly. Only saw once or twice the ai went for it first. Looks like we'll have to to settle at least a couple more cities, didn't expect that.

 

[Own]

Those cities will suck, so no point. We could use the 30 shields and 2 pop for better puposes.

 

[Obormot]

Do we have any iron? I think that if we do we should use knights as attacking unit. Our UU and maybe some cats can be helpfull in defense to kill huge SODs, but i think knights are much better in attack, especisally if we find an ironless AI.

 

[Own]

We don't have iron working, and we probably want to attack sometime before knights. We are, going for conquest, right ?

 

[a space oddity]

Had to take a peek here, after the nice comments in the Space3 thread! Good luck, I'll be following this with interest.

Got it!

Max Lit, you say? I'll do it.

BTW: When will we start war? Not in my turns, but it should come very soon.

 

[Own]

ASAP, IMO when we have hmm... 15 cats and 15 numidians. Maybe less. I don't know.

Edit: Pink dot and white dot won't need rax, as they should be building cats (maybe another city should be too).

Wait until republic? Probably not, with all these plains a despotic GA wouldn't be terrible.
