The hill might be best in any case.

Gets the BG and the fish right off, which are the only 2 food tiles around. And the extra shield for the hill won't be available for a long time anyway.

mis-spelling of "surpises" as "surprizes"

And what is then the interpretation of this one?

Touché.


When the settler reaches the hill, it should be able to see whether or not there is a land tile 3NE of the start. Also, bear in mind that there might be a whale to be had by settling on the bg, which should make up for the loss of the bg if we have to run to Mapping. If we do have only 7 land tiles, then settling the bg and two other towns supports 7 citizens, while settling the hill and one other town only allows 6 citizens.

Anyway, if we are on a rock with no view of the mainland and no neighbours, I propose... Predator Galley Challenge, i.e. the winner is the player with a galley built in the earliest interturn. And playing predator of course.

I got no time to play the whole game (I guess) so this quick PGC is the right way to get something out of it!

Count me in!

(Too bad I will have no chance to waste my GA to win this race... )

I think you'll find it's the fifteenth!
It all depends on how you look at it...

 

[Niklas]

Now it indeed is the 15th. And still no pregame thread up.
