The Second Ever Civ IV Anarchy Game!

[SamE]

Okay, here's a screenshot:

Moved the warriors, then ended turn. The lion, instead of attacking, moved SE. What should PH do?

 

[Flotorius]

Well, stupid lion. PH blocks the direct way till we have founded the city.

Settlers moves in place to settle next turn.

 

[SamE]

Correct!!!

Okay, so what does PH do?

 

[SamE]

I'll move the settler into the city spot if there's no objections...

 

[Flotorius]

Okay, so what does PH do?

Fortify till the city is settled and then keeps on scouting.

 

[SamE]

Ended turn, the lion still doesn't want to fight - it moved south. Founded Lost Desert and started on the Warrior. Here are a couple screenshots:

Meanwhile, Shillen's Son has completed his goal of circumnavigating Lake West, but there's a lion to be dealt with:

 

[Flotorius]

In LostDesert emphasize production till we have the obelisk.

PH can scout now.

S'sson goes SE -> S and fortifies. Hope the lion sees us.

Emphasize production didn't change anything. Should I automate PH or do you want to tell me where he scouts?

The biggest downside to building Lost Desert is the +4 maintenance from distance to palace. We can run 60% research with no loss of gold or 100% with -5/turn.

 

[SamE]

BTW, 100% gets Polytheism in 3, 60% gets it in 6. I'll end my turn once I have a percentage.

Put the citizen on the NW hill. Should give us one hammer more.

We might have called it "Lost money in the desert".

100%. We still have some money. After we get pottery turn to even research %.

So, where does PikeHoses scout again?

 

[Flotorius]

So, where does PikeHoses scout again?

IIRC, it was 'round that civ to the south.

 

[SamE]

Okay, I just thought that founding a city might change his route a bit... he'll be going around Greece then.

 

[SamE]

Ended turn, we're down to 38 gold w/2 turns to Polytheism and 5 after that to Pottery. The cowardly Lion ran away SE, and S's son moved into the forest where he'll fortify if the lion doesn't attack next turn.

 

[Flotorius]

I don't want to bend rules. So let's call the hut/settler/city a detour and continue with the former task.

 

[SamE]

Ended next turn, the lion didn't attack, so S's son fortifies. PH continues to go around Greece. Question: Does "go around" mean that he goes all the way around, or just halfway and then continues to explore west?
