Awww man, I know how you feel though. I'll keep you on the roster incase you get back, we'll just skip you though until then, though any lurkers can take the spot for now. ANYONE? Lemme see who's next on the roster anyways.

 

[amirsan]

Ok, Jimmy Dean, take the save when your ready .

 

[KotatsuNeko]

Could we get a screenshot/dot map in the meantime? So we're all on the same page, and everything?

 

[amirsan]

Ok, uploadng now then .

Hmm. Those look like good city spots, though the ones to the SW are a bit too close together for my usual tastes. I suspect, however, our first priority is going to have to be a quick kill on the Arabs; with Ta-tu so close to them, they'll have limited room to grow, and they'll most likely try to take our land as soon as they realize this.

 

[amirsan]

How do you suppose on setleing in the SW? KotatsuNeko?

 

[KotatsuNeko]

If it were me... well, the spot due south of Karakorum is good, sitting as it does an optimal distance from the capital; it's as close as you can get without any overlap. The spot due west of that, I'd move one square to the NW, and the next city I'd move W-NW to sit on the hill. The other two south of Karakorum are fine; the choke point's great, and there's really not much we can do with that field of plains but stick a city on the edge there.

 

[amirsan]

Thats GREAT thinking, KotatsuNeko! Thats what I want you guys to do, don't be afraid to protest against something I do, it wll make you better, if you were wrong, then you will know why and you will learn something! KotatsuNeko!

Ok, we just need to get JimmyDean here, I'll PM him. I'm also going to change the dotmap.

I'll grab it tonight when I get home. I should be home at a reasonable hour from work tonight (~7pm PST), so I'll have time to play tonight.

Hey! I just PMed you Jimmy, what a couincidence!

 

[KotatsuNeko]

Just a quick note: That westmost city should be one more square west, on the *other* hill. Ocean access, and gives the spots to the north and east more room. Sorry I wasn't clear there.

 

[amirsan]

Ohh, oops, was in a hurry to edit that. I shold've read closer, I think everyone should remeber if they read the posts.

Managed to make it home early tonight, so...

Got it

 

[amirsan]

No Problemo good luck .

Ok, just made a quick dotmap of our early expansion ideas.

WARNING: 1600x1200, so might be a little large if you run a lower resolution.

I think we should settle on the purple dot first, and then go for the orange. It's highly likely that if there is anyone else on our continent, they are south of that chokepoint. If we keep the Arabs out of there, we can be the only one with contact of both, and so get a better deal on tech trades.

My first settler I'll put at the purple dot, and then send the next for the orange. OR, we could hold our scout at the chokepoint to deny access, but putting a city there early would be a good idea.

 

[LordKestrel]

I'll wait until there are some replies before actually going ahead and moving the second settler.

Also, what turn am I ending it on?
