Turn 101 - 550BC

[akots]

We have discovered Currency and started building some marketplaces in the core cities. Also, we will have 3 settlers ready soon. I guess they might go to sites C and D but this makes the layout there somewhat crowded. However, we would be able to claim the flood plains.

Research has been set to Philosophy in 4 turns. I'm awaiting "go" from Matrix and Emp on sending Currency to C3B. We need the Wheel and then can research HBR. Please correct me if I'm wrong but these tech deal variants are somewhat confusing. Or we go for Construction? Anyhow, sorry if I did something wrong.

Here is our mainland.

Well, northen boat has not revealed anything useful. But we have a few more tiles to reveal though it seems that no coast is visible.

 

[RegentMan]

I feel we should do a quick four turn research to the wheel. We need to see horses and C3B isn't trading it in a timely matter.

 

[Rik Meleet]

I think the Wheel is the smartest thing to research next. Our whole war-planning depends on whether we (or C3B) have horses.

BTW: are we going to send in a warrior into C3B lands for land scouting? Please.

 

[magnusmarcus]

*sigh* another four turns without the wheel.

 

[akots]

I still hope the tech deal will be possible and just throwing away 4 turns of research towards middle ages on something we can get for free does not look like a smart move. But if we would have to, then it will be done.

Regarding warrior to scout in C3B territory: We can send one but we need a poll on that. IMO, CoMA can organize the discussion.

About our currah ,since it sits there full of sailors twiddling their tumbs and boozing rum anyway ,wouldn't we try what C3B tried before to by sending it over the undeep sea west of the island?

 

[akots]

You mean south-west or west? I do completely rely on "visionary" abilities in this case be it dream or other gut feeling. There is no way to predict anything imo. Except that there is 50% chance the boat will sink.

 

[classical_hero]

What happened to the tech deal with C3B? Are we going to what the poll says, or have they reneged on the deal?

Actually if it was for my visionary capabilety's we woulda have to go back to the islands east of C3B and then go North east to find a whole continent above ours ,but then my dream didn't take into account that it is just not theoreticly possible. (only ice caps can be there.)

Just follow the non-ocean tiles to the east of the island ,the shallow sea tiles or otherwise the path c3b used.

We have the save !!!

@Duck: I think you are confusing East and West.
West = <---
East = --->

@Duck: I think you are confusing East and West.

Uh ...,i my screen was set upside down.

But yes i meant <------ that east.
