Ok well played the turn, moved the warrior onto the hill and left him there because allthough we had good battle odds i didnt see the point in risking the warrior

 

[robboo]

BC..what are you building now??

 

[BCLG100]

absolutly nothing, change of turns. I think next up was a warrior to defend the capital then a barracks.

 

[robboo]

OK sounds good.

 

[BCLG100]

Ok started work on a warrior

I also decided as the lion hadnt attacked that the warrior may as well move in we won!

now it would take 6/7 turns to heal so i may just press on for awhile till we get to some forest and maybe heal up for a couple of turns, thoughts everyone?

Main Pic

AH next?

 

[robboo]

Move to the hill/forest and heal...we need him to scout around after that.

Yep AH for the pigs then we need to decide on the next tech. I think we either go archery, fishing or mythesim next or just jump right in to the long term project of metal casting.

Archery would give us some "metal-less" advance troops which are cheaper than axes and have their usefullness. Fishing is going to be usefull to get the clams and eventually we need it for ships anyway. Myth same thing..we need it eventaully..basically what i am sayign is we can go one more tech before metal casting or just go straight to metal casting. I am sorta indifferent on the which way to go. I hope you guys have some input.

 

[BCLG100]

we dont really need archery now we have copper. the rest of em are mere novelty techs

 

[robboo]

novelty techs???? Hardly....we need all of them that I mentioned. ESPECIALLY if we dont have iron..Horse archers are going to be a major help in that case.

My point is..we should do a quick cheap tech after AH...fishing is the most logical then metal casting..

novelty as in we dont especially need them to get metal casting.

 

[robboo]

True...BUT...we will in metal casting for a long time. Its good to get another tech out of the way that we MIGHT be able to use before we get metal casting. We could be spitting out a settler during our research of metal casting and it would be nice to grab those clams OR another resource further south if we find it.

I wish more people would chime in...

 

[BCLG100]

well nothing else adds much of a bonus except fishing so praps that. we can get a WB out to explore.

 

[GeorgeOP]

I say go for MC right away. We don't want to lose the race towards the Collosus.

 

[Black_Hole]

For reference here are tech turns:

Metal Casting: 54
Fishing: 6
Mysticism: 8
Animal Husbandry: 11
Archery: 8
Horseback Riding: 36
Masonry: 10
Writing: 18

I definetly think we should grab a cheap tech or two after AH, because we will be spending quite some time on metal casting...

I think we should get writing which would be nice as libraries could greatly increase are research on metal casting...

 

[BCLG100]

Bear in mind though people that tech times will decrease when we begin getting our cottages up and running.

Libraries could be usefull though with an ability to switch a citizen to scientist and get us an early Academy.

 

[robboo]

We will be getting AH first then writing for the libraries....

OR writing then AH?

then Metal casting. Aloha should build a library during the research to metal casting then build a forge then collosous.

Maybe I will learn to spell it right by the time we build it....

 

[BCLG100]

Maybe I will learn to spell it right by the time we build it....

Doubtfull

i think we should go writing then AH, we dont especially need the pigs worked and the writing will give us libraries which we can build while cottaging.

 

[robboo]

ok with me...BUT with the pig..you get 3 more food..thats big time production for settlers/workers.

All the same really but pig will get you working all the cottages you can fit in the city much quicker. However we willmax out pop happiness wise really quick.

Due to the rice I think AH can wait

 

[BCLG100]

Yer theres no need to us to grow amazingly quick.

 

[BCLG100]

Turn 42

Ok heres the main picture, we've just finished building a defensive warrior, i think we should go for a scout next and maybe send him north.

Ok heres our scouting warrior, a lion is in view but i think as the warrior is heading south we can outrun him/get a defensive position in the forest in time.

Well heres our settler/warrior combo on our new city location, we're going to have to nail down a name, is it 'bonjour'/ 'hello' or 'G'day'?

 

[robboo]

BC..do we know if Aloha is on an penisular...I might send our defender down south a little ..say 4 or 5 tiles then bring him back just confirm whats there...maybe a hut.
