Please use the "title" part of your instruction post to state your office title.

Objective: My intention is to play 15-20 turns, barring something unusual, so please try to have instructions for that length.

To make the DP's task of locating instructions easier, only elected/appointed officials or citizens posting initiative instructions should post in this thread!

Please use the DP thread in the Government subforum for questions/comments to the DP. Please use the officials' thread for comments to an official

 

Chieftain

Please follow the tech path of these two polls:

If you finish researching both, stop play.

As for scout movement, roughly follow the scout path illustrated in the picture. Use your judgment, to unveil the most land and keep the scout alive. We wont need to worry about uncovering more land around those gold mines, since our next scout finishes before we build a settler. My path will reveal some land to our west as well as capture two goody huts.

Spoiler :

City production and what not is left to Chieftess.

With the second scout built, I'd like to see it move east as well as reveal that eastern land near the gold mines. Direct him at your own discretion.

Anything I left out?

 

Turn 6 - Make sure the wheat is used, along with a forested-grassland on a river.

Build queue: Scout, Warrior (until size 2) Worker, continue warrior

After the worker -

1 - Irragate wheat
2 - Irragate grassland 1SW of the city.
3 - Mine the forested hill. We should do this when building a settler. This step depends on if we have Bronze Working.

 

T-50, saving original instructions.

 

Play has started.

Turn 5 save





Turn 10 save

Turn 11 save

Quick summary:
11 turns played
Met France and Germany. nothing useful can be done in diplomacy so continued quest for info
Got 104g for huts
Sadly, lost a scout to panthers
Worker due in 7

 

Do you have a log by any chance?

[03/10 08:11] <Chieftess> Back in the day, Curufinwe was the Culture Advisor in the old

[03/10 08:17] <Chieftess> where it says "Scout".
[03/10 08:17] <DaveShack> aha, gotta be right on the name
[03/10 08:17] <Chieftess> So if you named the scout " "...
[03/10 08:18] <DaveShack> new scout labelled Scout 2 (for now) and moves SW+SE, gonna reveal

the coast before heading NE
[03/10 08:18] <DaveShack> Scout 1 approaches village
[03/10 08:19] <x730195> was there a poll to name the scouts? ;-)
[03/10 08:19] <DaveShack> no, so there being no instructions (nor rule) the DP's discretion

is to keep them straight lol
[03/10 08:20] <Chieftess> You would've loved the early demogames. Some wanted to micromanage

everything like that.
[03/10 08:20] <DaveShack> no drumroll ?
[03/10 08:20] <Chieftess> [11:19] <@DaveShack> no, so there being no instructions (nor rule)

[03/10 08:20] * Chieftess hopes for a tech!
[03/10 08:20] <DaveShack> the villagers are friendly and give us 49 gold coins
[03/10 08:20] <DaveShack> evidently they know mining
[03/10 08:21] <Chieftess> Maybe they just panned for gold.
[03/10 08:21] <DaveShack> true
[03/10 08:21] <Grant2004> well make them tell us about it

[03/10 08:24] <DaveShack> we learn the secrets of agriculture and turn our thoughts to

mining

[03/10 08:26] <Grant2004> nice that should be useful
[03/10 08:27] <DaveShack> scout 2 SE, nothing remarkable about the coast
[03/10 08:27] <Chieftess> Sounds like a good city site.

[03/10 08:30] <Grant2004> well if we don't have horses we can always ride those into battle
[03/10 08:31] <DaveShack> scout 1 W+NW, another rice near the NW river
