Turn 6: 3750 B.C.

[Octavian X]

Not much new. Warrior was moved, discovering ocean and another landmass (!). The worker started a road on the bonus grassland.

As a note, the warrior's new name is: Octavian's Guard.

Password is: applejuice

I've figured out a way to post saves, and will do so when we get the second city founded, for security reasons.

BTW Oct, How did you apply the Passwords to the files in the zip?

You sent your guard into the wild?!! another landmass.. hmmm..let's not get to hopefull, it could be a peninsulae from our own continent..or island..

Yeah ,we should watch out with leaving our capital undefended.The first 5 turn's this is not such a high a risk yet ,but i hope the second warior can stay in the city to defend it.

I agree with Duck. We could lose shields to a barb because we are too far away. Also, how long will it take to build a Settler? It looks like we'll be a sive 3 in twelve turns. We need another Settler pronto. As far as I'm concerned, we could switch the current Warrior to a Settler. The quicker we get a second city in, the less stress there will be on Sacred Forest. I say pump out a Settler and take it down South of those Furs. Let it build it's own garrison. Then we can return to Warriors in Sacred Forest. Who will be naming the Second City?

If we are to follow our CoC, domestic would get the honors. Someone ask GBM what he wants...

A settler may be a good idea, but after that, we should certainly garrison SF.

Yes ,first a settler then a phalanx/or second warior first.We need to expand in city's as fast as possible.Number of city's will be vital in this game ,and the sooner you have a second the faster you wil have a third and fourth.

But ,we need to defend our settler's though in the long run ,we'll have to watch out ,but i don't expect attack's at this moment.

When we are size 2 we will build a settler in 6 turns (at 5 sh/turn) so we only can/need to switch to settler when we are 4 turns at size 2 (at the earliest). That makes 4 turns = 2 warriors, plus the warrior we are building now, giving us 4 warriors in total. However, after finishing this warrior we will have 2 turns at size one that we will produce 6 shields, that we have to use for something (barracks or warrior).

I'd say build 5 warriors now (requiring an upkeep of 1 gp for the fifth warrior), then switch to settler, and build a barracks afterwards. First explore and expand, then think of a strong defense imho.

Furthermore I would like to mention the fact that we have lots of forest that we can clear (industrious workers!) for a rush of city improvements like granary of temples. SF will be a real production powerhouse! (wonder city?)

Sorry, I dont have PTW as I planned to.

I feel I should resign, unless there is a workaround to this... Ever since saves are being posted instead of screenies, I have realised how I cant really do this job at the moment. If it is not against the rules, I would like to appoint a successor via an election that I will start.

EDIT: I've changed my mind and decided to stay.
