Third City

[Sommerswerd]

Yeah, and this isn't the first time he's done this either This is now the third time Sommers is trying to make out that someone the majority of the team is not in favour of sheep city first.

I agree. I am in support of city 4 being 1W of horse, but we can't put it in caste-iron yet, it's still quite a way off.

2000 election!!! I am not trying to pull a G.W.B. I swear. I am just trying to point out that we have a genuine (and VERY important IMO) nuance in the City 3 question. So I will trudge on depite the allegations of election impropriety

At this point it seems like "Sheep First, With Horse right after" has the following supporters: Kaleb, Cav, Smoke, Sommers, Donsig, Jimmy, Jeff
"Sheep First, figure out the rest later": Provo
Horse First: damnrunner, Shogu

So it is 7 votes for Sheep First With Horse right after... I can live with this, So for the time being I am ready to debate where horse city goes. Unless of course, anyone else still wants to talk about Horse first v. Sheep first. I don't presume to say that the debate is over just because I am happy. If anyone else is unhappy please feel free to say so.

Let me know if folks disagree.

We also need a name for City 3 BTW.

 

[Provolution]

"Silence of the Oyzar" ? With reference to the "Silence of the Lambs" (Sheep).

to follow the Kazakh theme: Astrakhan.

 

[Sommerswerd]

I like Oskemen for the 3rd city name.

 

[cav scout]

Oskemen for city 3 and Astrakhan for city 4.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Damnrunner and Shogu... Now that the majority favors 2 settlers in a row with us getting Sheep first and Horse right after, are you guys willing to change gears, and weigh in on the location of City 4, or do you want to talk more about going with Horse first?

 

[Provolution]

There should be no lock ins for two cities in a row for packaging. We decide on a city at a time, with so strings attached. There is still some 6 turns to city 3 is settled, and about 10-12 turns to City 4 is settled, so we should let time take its natural course.

Funny that you make the exact statement I was thinking of while writing a reply... anyway... We decide whatever majority decides... and presently, the majority has decided that we will settle Sheep first and Horse second.

"No Lock-ins"? That's funny funny funny Kind of like no "tag backsies" in Dumb and Dumber movie

Haha, I am not giving in to Blackmail If I can handle Oyzar the Mountain Clam, I can surely handle you, Governor Sommerjeb

 

[Sommerswerd]

Just a reminder that we are currently at 10 cities globally. The next city founded will make the magic number 11 (Cities > 2 x number of civs). This means barbarians will start breaching borders (under certain circumstances).

 

[Kaleb]

Exactly, which is why it's such a good thing we are fogbusted so far west

 

[Sommerswerd]

Yes indeed Kaleb Khan, Natalya's empire is ruled well

 

[Provolution]

Yeah, I totally agree on the fogbust here. I learnt some good gaming with this.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Settler is done... I want to stick with the current majority plan with no deviation, that means we settle Sheep with the settler and start building another settler in Hazrate.

 

[Provolution]

Yes, we settle the tundra by the sheep, and build a granary in it.

 

[Sommerswerd]

With the brave settler for City 3 on the way... more folks should weigh in on the name. So far we have the following suggestions:

1. Oskemen
2. Astrakhan
3. Aktau

Any votes, or additional suggestions?

 

[cav scout]

Astrakhan is a Russian city situated where the Volga enters the Caspian Sea, very close to Kazakhstan. It's a cool sounding name and would be good for a coastal city.

Another possibility is Aktau, Kazakhstan's only seaport.

 

[Kaleb]

It ain't going to be much of a seaport even though it is coastal but Askau sounds alright to me. I'm not too fussed about city names so I'll vote for whatever is most popular

 

[donsig]

Askau or Aktau? I prefer one of these, nice and short.

 

[cav scout]

I'm down for either Astrakhan or Aktau, I think either would be appropriate.

 

[Kaleb]

Sorry, I meant Aktau not Askau
