Ah well
Now I have uploaded the save (we are 3rd or 4th).
Here comes the turnlogs...
Preturn - 2070BC - Move spear and settler to Tatooine. Move non-forest chopping worker onto same tile as other worker. Set lux back to 0%. Rename Edrine to Endor and Bursa to Mos Eisley. Mos Eisley is changed to worker build. All is well in the world and I hit enter.
IT - Forest chopped. Indians are building the Pyramids. Zulu are building the Oracle and the ToA.
Turn 01 - 2030BC - Minas Tirith warrior -> settler. New Warrior moves down to Endor readying himself for operation "Meet the Arabs". Workers reveal a normal grass under the forest. They road it anyways. The spearman covering them can't see any barbs and so not being able to resist it I wander him to the mountains to see more. We see more water in the east. Dont look like the Arabs are on our island either. Map Making is gonna be fun. Wheel next turn, research to 80% making +1gpt.
IT - Barb wanders in front of spear/settler combo in the west, not interfering with movement, but there is obviously another barb camp over here. Mad-Bax cant help himself huh?
Turn 02 - 1990BC - Complete Wheel -> HBR, due in 11 turns. Thank goodness there are 2 sources of horses visible. 1 of them 2 NE of the Eastern Iron. The other is 1 SW of Minas Tirith, not roaded of course but I let out a great big fat sigh. Lux to 10%. Settler and spear move to the Iron Mountain. Dang, lots of barbs around. Ho-hum. Spear moves to Eastern coast and sees more Zulu borders over the water. Arab greeting party moves to Mos Eisley. Spots another bloody barb on the way on the FloodPlain sw of the unconnected Insence just outside Endor.
IT - Barb attacks reg spear with settler on Mountain and takes our spear to 1hp before dying.
Turn 03 - 1950BC - Warrior moves nearer to meeting arabs. Spear/settler fortify on mountain. I aint moving them next to a barb with a spear on 1hp. Eastern spear moves onto horses to get a better view. Workers completed road to new City site in the east.
Turn 04 - 1910BC - Minas Tirith settler -> warrior. Mos Eisley worker -> worker. Research to 100%. Settler/spear wake up and move to forest near western iron, spear is 2hp. Oh please ye gods of the rng save my ass here. All workers and a settler have a drink in Mos Eisley. Eastern Spear moves NW ready to cover new city. And now the moment you all been waiting for. Warrior moves SE and can see Baghdad over the water. Say Hi to Abu Bakr. Good news is that they have the same number of cities as us. Bad news is that they are Alphabet, Mysticism and HBR up on us and have horses. We have nothin to trade and declare war. W00t.
IT - Our spear/settler is not attacked!! Yay. But the 2 barbs to the SE move north to be east of our new city.
Turn 05 - 1870BC - Minas Tirith Warrior -> settler. Naboo founded, sited as requested. Disband warrior in Endor for 2 shields. Move newly created warrior from Minas Tirith to Endor. Settler moves towards Eastern build site. Arab meeting warrior attacks the camp near Mos Eisley and destroys the warrior for no loss of hp. 25 gold is ours. At the moment there are 6 barbs visible and 1 known to be hiding just outta sight. Roaming barbs my arse.
IT - Indians are building the Oracle.
Turn 06 - 1830BC - Eastern settler in position. Lux to 10%. HBR in 5 turns. Yawn. Endor size 2. Switch to forest for a couple of turns to get Rax in 2 and not 3.
Turn 07 - 1790BC - Tatooine size 2, warrior -> spear. Workers complete mine near Mos Eisley, switch to spear. Abuse the Force Luke founded in the east. Starts rax. Workers move towards ATFL getting ready to chop up dem trees. Southern Scouting warrior comfirms that we are NOT connected to either Arabs nor Zulu. Warrior from Endor wanders off to explore the map. New warrior from Tatooine moves to take his place.
IT - Barb attacks scouting warrior. Dies without touching the dude. Ha. Other barbs meander around a little.
Turn 08 - 1750BC - Minas Tirith settler -> warrior. Endor barracks -> spear. South scouting barb reveals Greek borders down south. Not likely to meet them before MM though. Other middle explorer finds a Wheat in the Floodplains. I WANT a city next to it. There is a plains tile we can use. Also goats in the hills and mountains will give 2fpt and 2spt. wow. Could be a sexy city. Shame about the 3 barbs circling around.
IT - Barbs kill middle explorer for no damage on barbs. Greek borders in the south expand. Very very late capital or the Greeks are building temples
Turn 09 - 1725BC - Minas Tirith warrior -> settler. warrior goes to Tatooine and spear there accompanies the settler towards the proised lands. Workers (3) chop a forest in 1 turn.
IT - A barb attacks spear/settler, do 1hp damage. Other barb just sits there.
Turn 10 - 1700BC - Spear/settler move south towards promised land. Reveal another barb They are now the meat in a barb sandwich. Move the warrior south outta Tatooine to give one of the barbs another target. We NEED this city site. Move workers to second chop site for ATFL.
And that should do it.
Only "sloppy" thinga I think I have done are
1) Disbanded a warrior for 2 shields (that was just stoopid)
2) Moving the spear/settler duo into barbland at the end.
Next Player.
1) HBR due next turn (sliders already adjusted)
2) REMEMBER TO MOVE THE CITIZEN IN MINAS TIRITH WHEN IT GROWS AND AFTER BUILDING A SETTLER.
General Questions.
Wait and meet the greeks if you can or not? Meeting sooner means less cities (they mobilize) and cheaper tech research, meeting later means less troops.
Next tech? We have the "military techs" Alphabet I suppose.
Barbs are sucking really hard on this map, my first encounter nearly cost me a spear. Remind me someone, should a barb warrior beat my spears on Mountains?
Next better player
