Looking around the received save, I decided to make a few changes. First, I decided that we need more intel, so I sent the warrior who was parked on a hill up near York off to explore.
And I figured that since we're not under attack yet, we could use a granary in London before a barracks.
I also deleted several obsolete signs and named some units.
Scouting continued for a few turns until our southernmost scouting warrior revealed this terrible sight:
So, Alex has copper and even has it mined already. I pondered for a bit about what to do. In the end, I decided to move our London garrison axe down there to try to raze the mine before it can become trouble. Sadly the warrior who made this discovery was slain the next turn by an archer attacking out of Athens. Another brave warrior falls.
Upon reaching size 3 in London, I worked the cows, gold and copper to get the granary done asap. This also brought our research time for IW down significantly.
Nice timing on the improvements in York, Lee! Just as we reached size 2 there, the horses came online. I believe the plan for York is to have it stagnate at size 3 and work cows, horses and a plains hill. (Right?)
As soon as the horses were roaded at York, I switched to a chariot build. I built to within 1T of completing this, then switched back to a barracks. Since we don't need it urgently, I figured it was best to have it come out with 3xp by waiting for the barracks to fininsh (but it was in the queue should an emergency arise!).
London finished its granary and started working cows, banana farm and gold to grow quickly. (Actually, I started working these tiles with 2T to go because this maximized food and didn't delay the granary past the max-hammer completion date.)
Our north warrior scout didn't find too much up north, and headed toward Mansaland, where he found a nice observation post:
I sure hope those workers are hiding because of our all-seeing warrior! Regardless, at least they're not improving his lands. I don't dare scout out the other side because I'm sure the skirmishers will come for him.
Note: there is a possibility of more land up north, but a wandering barb warrior kept me from sending Northlook up there to check it out completely.
Meanwhile, Eastlook--our eastern scouting warrior who first found Mansa on Lee's turnset--found the east coast of the island, and finally found some Carthaginian borders. He weathered one barb warrior attack. On the last turn, look who he bumped into:
So, Hannibal's starting to expand too. When I saw this, I panicked a bit and spent Eastlook's pending promotion on Woodsman I. I'd use caution here and skirt try to avoid being right next to the capital for fear of an attacking archer. I hope the warrior escort for the settler means a lack of copper.
In other news, Coppersquat--sent south to deal with the Greek copper mine--took this opportunity:
With great fortune, he endured no loss of health at all and continues to march toward Athens. He's not quite there yet, since I stopped when we discovered IW.
One last thing, just as our chariot completed in York, a Greek scout appeared.
Yay! An experienced chariot!
And here is the final screenshot, showing known locations of iron:
This is another good stopping point: Let's discuss how to proceed.
The Save
It's mined, but not yet roaded....
