Turn 26 - 2750 BC

[Donovan Zoi]

Welcome to Term 2, everyone!

As promised, here is our *new* Decision Summary, where you can take part in the open discussions that still need resolution.

Fanatazuma - current build(1 turn): I have placed Settler in queue per last thread's discussion. If anyone has an issue on this please state it before next turn, as we would reach the point of no return on a Worker/Warrior build at that point.

Thunder Falls - next in queue(4 turns): What should we build here after the Worker?

Research - next in queue(6 turns): We discover Alphabet in 6, and am certain that Mathematics will be next. You have 6 turns to raise your objections.

Fanatzuma - next in queue(7 turns): Pending approval for the current Settler build, our capital is set for the next 7 turns. Please begin discussion on what we should do next here.

Next City Placement(7 turns): Pending approval of our capital's Settler build, we need to determine where our next city should go.

We have finally discovered some bonus food! [dance]

As you can see, Wally and our other Warrior have both found two new food resouces. We may want to chop down the Game forest for optimum food outlay once we have a city there.

Also, check out the land to our west. I can't wait to see how that lays out, and would like to consider sending both Warriors just in case the land spreads out, or at least for extra protection. Who knows who we may meet out there.......

Also, check out the southeast. Though it may not be the most strategic position, we may have another canal opportunity there. I would like to send this Warrior further on.

Here are our current maps:

Mainland Fanatica

Northeast

And there was alot of activity in the Top 5 cities. If I am not mistaken, Catchopolis has moved from 4 to 3, while Raja** is now a Size 5 city. Going for an ISDG OCC challenge, perhaps??

Also, it looks like our new friends C3B have sent out a Settler.

Finally, here are our demographics. We seem to be doing quite well.....

 

[Hygro]

How did we lose GNP???

Ok, this bonus food makes me excited. It weill make Akots VERY excited. We need workers to cut down those forests for a fast granary, and to irrigate and stuff.

The Brazilians are too far north to have a claim on the tobacco so it makes a proper border.

I still want Statue of Zues--the soldiers are good until cavalry, and they make fine MPs too

Great news! All CFC must cheer up!

1) Certainly settler.
2) Granary. It may serve as Wonder or FP prebuild and would speed city growth.
3) Math seems fine.
4) Barracks or Granary. We got enough regular warriors.
5) Just explore a bit near the cow/game region. It is quite obvious we would move the settler in that region ASAP together with at least one worker for building roads and irrigation to cow. The city would build granary and settlers/workers. Apparently, workers first because we are really pressed in time to build irrigation there.

@Hygro: Re losing GNP. It is a direct consequence of moving the starting settler and it is only the beginning. Later on, our retardation would be worsening. This shows that we have very strong competitors.

Fantazuma: OK

Thunder Falls: tough decision, not enough information either barracks, settler or wonder. use 30 shields pre-build for now.

Research: OK

Fantazuma: not enough information, probably another settler or barracks.

Next city placement: towards the food bonus, prepare for a settler factory; my current proposed city site is in the fog, please explore some more.

Exploration: Good thinking DZ, Wally -> South, Cowfinder South-West, the other continue SE, Edward North,

Worker orders Worker roading Ivory to start road towards the cow, abandon plans to road/irrigate another plain.

I think I'm on the sme lines with Yndy.

That bonus food is excellent, we should use it to the max ASAP.
