Pericles the Culture Nut

[pawelo]

I'd re-roll without assets locked.

The problem is, I have 4 ongoing games on 3.03, plus one RB Adventure...

Well, the next start may be even better

I hope it's ok with everyone!

Don't worry Arlborn

 

[Arlborn]

I am sorry.
By the way, just for the heck of it, I did explore now that map, and found stone right north of us ...

Re-rolling as soon as my the world stop moving!! This wall bashing business is dangerous...

 

[Jormungandr]

Yeah, re-roll. *sigh*

 

[Arlborn]

OK, so I re-roll other start...

The true and only one start shall be here:

First, the all-mighty leader of our choice! And he is handsome!



And our blessed start position:



OK, uh, not so great, but definetly not bad! Good production city I bet. And we can hope for a strategic rsource I guess. And again foodplains around us hehe.
Where should I move scout to? Let's move him before settling in place. I think I will move him to the floodplains.

 

[pawelo]

That's better

I'll move him 1NW, and on a hill around the latter tile.

 

[Arlborn]

True, but floodplains and gold love to show up together!
At least in my games hehe!

 

[Arlborn]

That's better

I'll move him 1NW, and on a hill around the latter tile.

OK, I moved him and there is no hill around him!
So, I moved him NW again anyway.

Here:




Well, I see Tundra, so we are probably somewhere in the north of the map and should search an AI more to the south I think.

Settle in place then? I don't see why not.

 

[Arlborn]

Hey, LTO is back today yet! Should he roll the start himself then??

 

[TheLastOne36]

just checking in. I hope to have my computer running in an hour, which is a full week before what i thought it would start to work.

Let's go with this starting location. I like it.

Change your brother

Welcome back anyway!

 

[TheLastOne36]

Change your brother

Welcome back anyway!

i wish... 8 year old brothers are such a pain.

 

[Arlborn]

OK, I am gonig to play it right now!

EDIT: Uh, build, research, anyone?
Agriculture > AH again?

Worker > warrior too?

 

[pawelo]

Worker > warrior too?

Definitely agreed

Good luck!

 

[Arlborn]

Uh - fast update.
Got AH from hut at turn 2. So...
Research what after agriculture? BW?

 

[pawelo]

When around, it goes quickly

I agree on BW as well, we need to chop soon
Well, we always need to chop, not just soon

 

[Arlborn]

Here is the first turnset:

Turn 1: Settled Athens in place.

Turn 2: Pop AH in hut!




Turn 8: A little update of our log for you:



Turn 9: We meet our beloved Boobica. Ehr, Boudica.


Look how arrogant she looks!! Anyway, I had to stare hard at this picture for a long time, completly against my will, to, er, study the enemy!


If we are gonig to early rush anyone, she should be the one! Before she gets her insane Gaullic Warriors and attack us(which she probably will)! And looks like she is 'near'.

Turn 13: Buddhism was found...


And it was, Boudica?
Ah well, my last game she had a double holycity, so I guess she cares a bit about religion! < hint hint: phalanxsrushhhhhh >

Turn 19: Our second neighboor:


Hum, not so good, he normally does well, and he REXes as crazy!

...turn 30.


And that is it guys! At the moment we are 12 turns away from BW, our worker is building pasture on cows in 4 turns, onme warrior was trained, and I started another and he is 2 turns away from coming to life.
Now, if TLO doesn't claim his turn, it would be pawelo playing 15 turns.


Screens of the scouting:


Desert to west...


Not bad.

 

[Arlborn]

In my eyes we already found the spot of our second city. 1N from the horse!
1NW + 1W from the rice is not bad though.

EDIT: Ah, and the save...

 

[pawelo]

Got it for tomorrow morning.

Out of time as for today, sorry. Family business

See you tomorrow. I already spot several nice cities around
Looking forward for your analysis
