Turn 12 - 3450 BC

[Donovan Zoi]

Here's the latest, although it looks like there may be something in the Northeast. We will know for certain next turn, unless someone can confirm it now.

Here's the full screen. I am starting to shrink these now. Let me know if this is a problem.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

And here is a close-up of the northeast. Do you see anything in the whitish hidden tile? A possible lux, perhaps?

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Either way, we will find out next turn but let me zoom it in a bit....

 

[Cheetah]

Hm. Maybe we can wait with settling the east for a while. Looks like we have some mighty good lands to our west.

 

[Pegster]

It's sugar there

And it looks as if it might be more land to explore.

I think we should send the eastern warrior straight north next round.

 

[Zarn]

I agree to move him (Eastern warrior) north.

We should start thinking of places to settle.

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

Well it is looking as if it is a cape or a inland lake. To have a city as a canal would be great and where the warrior is now is perfect.

 

[Ankka]

Good point, EMP. That city would be a good one... and it would get the sugar.

 

[Hygro]

Better to put cities on the grassland nearby. On the hill northwest, on the forest southeast.

 

[Ankka]

We should expand powerfully IMHO, so we don't get in a situation like the current PTW one...

 

[Gainy]

DZ, next turn, could you right click on some coast in the "possible" inner lake? If it gives 2 food, then we'll know it's a lake, else it isn't.
And could we move the western warrior onto the hill next to it? This would give a better/more useful view IMO (in conparison to the mountain).
I'm all for the building of a canal, and I retract my previous city-placement-thoughts.

 

[Pegster]

Moving it to the hill sounds like a good idea.

 

[Ankka]

Yes, the hill would see better. Good point, Gainy.

 

[RegentMan]

None of those two bodies of water are lakes; you can see the sea tiles in each . I agree about the warrior movement to the hill. And Ankka's right; we need to settle agressively as not to end up in another PTW...

 

[Ankka]

But, I say, let's name those units.

 

[Gainy]

I've seen lakes with sea tiles in 'em before - that are less than 21 tiles in size. I think...

We could name the Eastern warrior Edward and the Western one Wally

Edit: For y'all wanting to talk about the names of units, go to this thread:

It's been my experience one sea tile will salt up your lake. I guess we'll see when the save comes along.

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

Since they are both oceans it will be a good idea to settle where the warrior is now to make a cannal.

 

[Ankka]

I agree with EMP, unless the warrior reveals something from the fog that changes the situation.

One sea tile will not salt a lake. It is based on the number of water tiles only (21 was mentioned, and thats probably right).
