The big fat oil cats (please join!)

I played 10 turns.

Inherited Turn (130 BC)

IBT: A Barb archer apears out of the north.

Turn 1 (115 BC)

IBT:
While defending, Swordsman defeats (3.12/6): Barbarian Archer

Turn 2 (100 BC)
Olmec grows: 3

Turn 3 (85 BC)

Turn 4 (70 BC)
Djenne finishes: Skirmisher > Skirmisher

IBT: Monty demands we stop trading with the Egyptians. Uh ... we'll take that under advisement and get back to you on it. And here's a couple bucks; get yourself a better hat.

Turn 5 (55 BC)
Moses (Great Prophet) born in Timbuktu I send him to Kumbi Saleh.

Turn 6 (40 BC)
Timbuktu finishes: Settler > Skirmisher
Kumbi Saleh's borders expand

Turn 7 (25 BC)
Tech learned: Metal Casting > Horseback Riding

IBT: Khan wants to trade Calendar for Metal Casting. Can I have a couple years to think about that? Thanks.

Turn 8 (10 BC)
Timbuktu finishes: Skirmisher > Forge
Moses arrives in Kumbi Saleh:
Kumbi Saleh finishes: The Kong Miao
Our settler arrives to found HorseTown.
Spoiler :

There's room for maybe 3 cities up here. At first I consider 2 tiles north of the Settler on that ice bay. But that'll spoil another location. I choose the westernmost blue circle.

A milestone: We're in AD time now.

Turn 9 (5 AD)
Kumbi Saleh finishes: Barracks > Forge

Turn 10 (20 AD)
Djenne finishes: Skirmisher > Forge
Gao founded
Gao begins: Lighthouse

CAUTION: There's a Barb axeman wandering around on the fog to the north east of Gao. We need to get a axeman up there quick. And bust some of that fog up there so we can site a few more cities in the ice.

Okay, let's get some forges built and then we start on our army of Macemen!
 
Tech learned: Metal Casting > Horseback Riding

I thought we were going for Machinery next for macemen, since we don't have the horses worked yet. Doesn't matter as we will need Horseback riding too so either way.

Let's think about GL though too as those scientist can be a real bonus and I noticed that no one had Literature yet.

The location of the new city is a toughie since it won't be much good no matter where we put it. The horsies will provide prod/commerce and the water tiles will be the only source of food.

Good turnset Frankcor....
 
I also agree with Egypt now that Kublai has our religion. We may even be able to get Kublai involved in beatin gup on Hatty which will weaken him, then we can take advantage of his weakness by taking a couple of his cities when we sue for peace with Hatty.

Hell, he'd backstab us, wouldn't he? :D
 
k we'll keep that in mind. whos next?

Jawohl Herr Hauptman.....

I got it will play later tonight......D'OH I said got it but got nothing no save.......

Wir mussen der save haben bitte, herr hauptman?
 
Do we want to go to war? Or build the Pyramids. For certain, I can do either one but I don't think we can do both. Tmibuktu is our best unit-building city.

It was just a few posts ago that we discussed: "Hatty mayye needs a lesson she could take places that will have oil in the future and we need to stop her now."

War? Pyramids? Both? Your call, fearless leader!
 
War? Pyramids? Both? Your call, fearless leader

Me too confused....... War or Pyramids?? If we chop the three forest tiles at Timb we might get it fast. Although I would rather see GL. But we have to decide on what our direction is fearless leader.

Ok fearless leader you hijacked the save....
 
sorry forgot the save :blush:
 
sorry my minions didn't think bout that desicion I'd say we can foget the pyramids and get out horse archers and macemen ready

YES!

My contractor started renovating my bedroom today so I had to yank my computer and internet connection last night. I am going to attempt to re-establish the connection in the living room this evening. If I haven't posted in 24 hours, consider me Out-Of-Pocket and skip me please.

Sorry 'bout that, team. I knew this was coming but I had no idea it was going to be so soon.
