Update:
My 2 workers are working on roading and then irrigating the plains tile NE of Babylon.

I'm still very alone in the world. I should be able to see more terrain after I move next turn.

No screenshot of my Empire for you! *imageshack is not working for me. Sorry!

...I see no horses near me. Actually, I see no horses anywhere yet.
...I was contacted by Classical Hero.
...Also found out that fe333au is on this continent as well. Perhaps it is just a single continent after all.

Spoiler :

I have reason to believe this may be a continents map, since i see water on the far edge of the known land.

 

[Chamnix]

Gps to Classical_hero.

Spoiler :

Turn 17 (-3200) – HatontheCat produces settler and starts a granary. With peace with all my neighbors, it’s settler factory time. The raging barbs are a concern, and there aren’t that many good settling locations, but a granary in the capital will pay off long term.

Gbno1fan accepted the Wheel and Ceremonial Burial (even though he didn’t reply to my note), so I guess we’re still buddies. Nothing new to report in techs learned by my opponents. My 2 citizens are now 14% of the world. Rik told me his capital grew to size 3 and it’s confirmed as he now has 21% of the population. There is nothing all that interesting from F11.

My settler starts moving toward the flood plains wheat to the west. My northern scout discovers some horses not far from Rik and another goody hut – too bad I’m likely to pop Warrior Code if I get a tech.

My 2 workers are working on roading and then irrigating the plains tile NE of Babylon.

Exploration:
I'm still very alone in the world. I can see more terrain now... I'm a little nervous I may see a border at the extreme North-East... but I'm hoping it's maybe just coastline. If any lurkers would like to post their thoughts on if that's coast or border... just post your vote here in the thread. You can write "coast" or "border" - and you can win bragging rights if you guess correctly.

Here's a screenshot of my Empire for you!

Spoiler :

Turn 18 (-3150) – classical_hero founded Bapedi by one of the flood plains wheat – good move on his part. That was the reason for his road. But he chose to put his town on plains off the river instead of on a hill on the river – I guess because he wanted to crowd me. Zululand has 3 citizens again – one for each of his towns.

My 2 citizens give me 13% - Zulu are at 20%. 15 citizens total – I’m guessing classical_hero 3, Rik 3, fe3333au 1, General_W 1, me 2, gbno1fan 2. That leaves 3 for azza, but his score does not reflect that . Maybe fe3333au has a second town somewhere. Pretty uneventful turn overall…

Spoiler :

If a winery makes Wine, what does my Granary make ??

I'm not completely sure whether I want to build 2 warriors or 1 Num next. I'll decide next turn. Warriors are cheap, but will get disbanded later. Num's last forever and are a detterent, but they could also attract my neighbours into giving me a despotic Golden Age.

We'll see what I'll do.
