Turn 64 - 1425 BC

[Cheetah]

The MP situation is starting to come under control. We now have two Warriors in TF and a second on it's way to Zoi and another one from the choke is heading for Fanatazuma.

We're now again average to C3B military wise, while we have only 3% of world area, C3B have 4%. For population it is 17% for us and 18% for them.
And we're now equal in score - 189 points for each.

Note: After I took this screenshot I moved the laborer in Cheetahpolis to the floodplains instead of the plains.

Demographics:

CFC Mainland:

The Saxon Galley moved NE and out of sight as the turn ended.

 

[Cheetah]

The Eastern Frontier:

We've found a barb, I hope he last long enough for our JT to come up there.
And we've met a C3B Curragh going south along the coast.

 

[RegentMan]

I spy with my little eye a greenish curragh. Do you think they have one coming down the west coast of the continent too?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Other RM: unlikely; they have no cities on the Western coast.

- Stop with warrior-building; Javs are very much more useful. 2-2 Vs 1-1 and Enslave abilty. The only good uses of warriors is MP and C3B scouting (1 needed).

Warriors can be upgraded to swords and MDI. JT cannot. It is completely useless units and should be used just to trigger our Golden Age. 3-4 JT would be enough. Warriors are versatile and fully functional. We would not have anybody to enslave with our JT but warriors (which our enemies would have none) and barbarians (for the latter purpose we have enough JT atm). Please, build warriors! We'll have our iron and will then upgrade them in an instant to decent units.

 

[akots]

Just to make sure that Rytty is working two BG tiles but not BG and forest.

Overall it all looks good with SoZ ready in 21 turn.

 

[Ankka]

I wonder what bonus food source CGN has there? It has grown in 2 turns 2 sizes IIRC.

akots, JT's aren't totally useless, they are good if defending , we could get slaves.

Perhaps they are building a wonder and are joining workers to the city? Or mabey an extra pop lets them build units more efficiently, like a spearman every other turn or a swordman in 3.

 

[Ankka]

I doubt they would be adding workers to the city, if they just a few turns ago went down to pop 5 by propably building a settler. I'd guess that they have some floodplains with wheat, it isn't so hard to get 10 food with that...

 

[Matrix]

I agree with akots. I actually have never been really happy with our unique unit.

 

[Cheetah]

It probably will give us some free Workers. If there is no war between us and C3B, we made better use of our UU than they did.

 

[RegentMan]

Javelin throwers upgrade to longbowmen then to guerrilas (sp?), right? So it's not a totally useless build, they'll get 4 attack too. But we'll want some swordsmen as the javs don't upgrade to a 3 attack unit in this crucial era of the game.
