Religionfest

[Panth]

I will be out until the 27th. Road trip to Cali to see the in-laws.

I like the tundra spot next to the North wheat as well. It gives ocean access, wheat, and cow.

I also like the spot 1 W of the South cow.

 

[Tboy]

I will try to play tonight if I can, but I will be away from the 21st until the 28th due to Christmas, and it looks like most other people are as well, so unless anyone disagrees, I think we should pause until the new year. Any objections?

 

[Panth]

It'll work . . .better to halt while there's nothing going on anyway I guess.

 

[Panth]

Is this getting resumed? It's well after the new year now . . .

 

[Thyrwyn]

I am willing to continue.

 

[Panth]

Well . . . ya wanna just tag-team it until somebody else shows up

If so, it looks like you played last so I'll go tonight.

 

[Thyrwyn]

works for me

 

[Panth]

Preturn 1160 BC

- Swap Medina to work forested grass
- Eye the German worker on on Medina's border longingly . . .

T1 1120
- Stonehenge completes -> barracks auto-resumes w/ 5 turns left. I'll go ahead and leave it

T2 1080
T3 1040 worker set to camp/road elephant

T4 1000
T5 975 Pottery in -> husbandry [8]

T6 950 Mecca barracks -> granary (we are growing soooooo slooooowly)
- I pull a guy from quarry to forested grass for G-4, granary-12 . . . the production is nice but we need more people.

T7 925
T8 900 Recon info: Germany has at least 3 cities up. Thermopolae had 2 archers inside, now has only 1. Don't know what this means but I like to keep an eye on troop movements.

T9 875
T10
IBT: Mansa wants open borders . . . I decline. We have too much of our corner up here unsettled as yet, and since it's blockaded off at Medina, I'd rather not let people wander around up there until we get it built up a bit more.

Mecca grew this turn - I leave you to change build orders if you like.
Medina grows next turn.

 

[Tboy]

Back now, sorry for the delay, things came up.
Thwryn, your turn.

 

[Thyrwyn]

I've got it.

 

[Thyrwyn]

Looks good. Need defense badly. I hope we have Horses. . .

Turn 82 (825 BC)
We learn Animal Husbandry. . . and there are no Horses in range.

Turn 83 (800 BC)
So I start researching Archery

Turn 85 (750 BC)
Worker finishes farm; moves across the river to start chopping; should come in just in time to rush some Archers. Switch Civics to Organized Religion and Slavery. We need to get some religion down to Medina; Sign open borders with Alex - we need to spread our faiths and get some friends. Start Exploring Greece.

Turn 86 (725 BC)
Medina Workboat > Barracks

Turn 87 (700 BC)
Learn Archery > begin Iron Working; We need Metal as we will need to fight Axemen soon.

Turn 88 (675 BC)
Mecca Granary > Archer

Turn 89 (650 BC)
Medina grows: 3 I meant to switch Medina to a Worker here but I forgot. I would recommend that the next player do so. We need to get that resource farmed and our cities connected.

Turn 90 (625 BC)
Chop comes in; Mecca Archer>Archer; the carry over will finish the second Archer next turn and put several towards the third Archer queued up after that. Good thing, too: Here come the barbs.

We need to get some settlers out; one to claim the Iron on the SW peninsula, and one to get that Northern Spot. Our first Great Prophet is due in the next turnset. We could build a Shrine, but I would recommend Researching Meditation and Priesthood after Iron Working and then Using the Prophet to get Theology and found Christianity.

 

[Thyrwyn]

Tboy? Panth? You guys out there?

 

[Panth]

I've been out here . . . watching, doing a lot of waiting.

 

[Thyrwyn]

Take it. I just played.

 

[Panth]

Got it then. Will play tonight.

 

[Panth]

R/L stuff came up - tax time. I'll - play this on Saturday if Tboy hasn't shown.

 

[Tboy]

Just taking a quick look in.
Sorry guys, but due to a mass increase in workload at the moment, i'll have to duck out for the time being. I'll post again if I get the time to play.
Tboy.
