Aw, you're just trying to make me embarressed now

Wouldn't even consider it! Just trying to make up for lost and forgotten smilies and overcome my own excitement at seeing we had Alphabet. Never thought the ABC's would make me smile so much. Imagine what Advanced Flight will do for me.

Gator will soon be on to check and see if we have any ideas for him. Anyone?

 

[TheNemesis666]

hmm, ideas...
i'm at work so can't check the save to see where the resources are to the north.
Build site1 to pump some workers.
Would it be worthwhile, in the city plan, swapping site6 and site2 in the build order? site6 has access to 2 BG's immediately and could start on some military, is my only justification. (site 2 might have a BG NW of it, i can't tell from the screenies)
All i can think of for now. will put some more thought into it when i get time.

edit: upon looking further i've decided one of the site6 BG's is in use by washington, ignore me.

We learned long ago to never ignore anyone. You never know when a gem of an idea might present itself.

BTW - I think the dancing banana is now our unofficial mascot...

Isn't it already taken? Like by the 'Poly DG folks?

I'll take your word on it.

Do not divulge to much information here about that as their are people lurking that are on other teams

= Interesting

Thank you, I'll try to keep it non-spoilerish.

 

[leif erikson]

Are there team DG's going on now? Guess I should get out more...

Does this mean we have to go back to our more traditional or shall we use the Capt's favorite

Given our luck with RNG and leader development, perhaps its

@Mistfit - Where did you get those cool smilies?

 

[Capt Buttkick]

I'd love to see a few more , but Wacken might have his say on that (Wacken Open Air is a hard rock festival).

 

[Mistfit]

@Mistfit - Where did you get those cool smilies?

All of them are from CDZ with the exception of this one

which I made myself. I like the idea of a personal smilie.

 

[leif erikson]

The likeness is quite remarkable!

I got home much too late last night to play and I'm already tired tonight. I've put in over 60 hours at work since last thursday. So if you want to swap me out for the next spot this go around, that would be great. I don't want to hold it up for me to try to play tomorrow. I can easily play this weekend without any trouble and the long nights at work should start slowing down next week.

Besides we're having a nasty lightning storm and I'm about to unplug the computer.

 

[leif erikson]

Thanks Gator, hope you get a good night's sleep. Got to work hard for that promotion!
At Gator's request, let's reorder the roster.

Bluebox - UP
Gator - On Deck
Leif
Willow - Chillin'
Capt.
Nemesis

Hope that is OK with you Bluebox! If not, please let me know.

i'm back to thinking we should switch site6 and site2 in the build order. The only BG in range of site2 is in use by washington. site6 has one of it's own. site1 is the best first settle for some workers but I vote for site6 after that.

I agree that site6 should be our 3rd town and produce military. We can have 2 BGs on that site, and still have a 4-turner with some MMing on growth in Washington.

 

[leif erikson]

Does site 6 get 2 BG's without using the one within Washington's radius? Doesn't look like it to me until it expands, or site 2 is built. I have no problem with doing it that way, just thought I would point out that both sites have to share BG's with Washington until they are either built or expand their border.

Site 3 has a BG and 2 Forest tiles it can use without sharing with Washington and it has the advantage of blocking Barbs from that camp to the southeast. A Rax, a couple of Spears and a worker also gets us some Gems.

When do you think we should head a settler up to the dyes?

Good luck to Bluebox.

 

[bluebox]

Good luck to Bluebox.

Thanks a lot! This is a "got it"! I'll play in a few hours (today afternoon for me) and I'm still open for suggestions.

I'd even propose to build site6 as our 2nd City and get the military site running before the worker pump. We're already challenging our luck with working fp, so we might do better with not also challenging our rng luck with barb attacks. Moreover, as both lux are difficult to reach from our current state, we could use a 2nd warrior in our capital to reduce lux costs.

Worker2 is paving road, but I see no speed advantage towards site1 because of the river. We can reach either site1 and site6 in three turns. Comments please.

I'd like to know where the scout is going to? I'd move him south along the western coast to take a glimpse across the wet stuff .

Ooops... Miscalc, sorry.
Yes, site 3 may be better due to its proximity to the barb camp, but we need military escort if we build there and we haven't got too much of that yet...

Gluck, Bluebox

 

[leif erikson]

If we send the first settler to site 1 as planned, it can't produce a worker immediately. We *could* build a warrior first and use him to escort the second settler to site 3.

I think we should consider sending the third settler for the dyes?

Good luck Bluebox, pump those settlers!
