Turn 65 - 1400 BC

[Cheetah]

Well, C3B have finally gone past us in score. Or have they?

I'm a little unsure which numbers to trust:
The scoreboard says that we have 193 points, while C3B have 194 points.
But the Histograph Score says that we both have 194 points!
Can someone enlighten me as to which one of these numbers are the correct one, in PBEM?

The Embassy with C3B still costs 53 Gold, and I hope we can get to ask C3B soon. Will anyone object to me (or someone else) just sending a letter stating that we will be establishing an embassy?

And as you see, Zoi will complete a Settler in 3 turns. As the MP Warrior arrive next turn however, we will get the Settler in two turns. Where shall we send it?

 

[Cheetah]

We built a new Warrior this turn, which is sent to Fanatazuma to do MP work.
This upbuild in forces placed us once again as superior to C3B militarily.

We still have 3% of world area, while C3B have 4%, but in population, we now have 18%, while C3B only have 17%! We might be able to grow as fast as them.

And as you can see: We are third in a lot of areas, not fourth anymore:

 

[Cheetah]

I suggest we continue to send the western Curragh north, and build a Galley in Zoi or another coastal city in 10 turns, when Map Making is complete.

The Saxon Skullcrushers are still waiting for the Saxon tribe to repopulate, and is using the time to study rare moutain flowers.

In the Fanatican Mountains you can see a Warrior who will soon reach Fanatazuma and start its MP duty. The Settler is standing on the same tile.

I have begun to irrigate the flood plains with the enslaved worker.

About Ryttylä: Shall we start on a Settler or build another Warrior first?

 

[Cheetah]

When the turn ended, the Barbarian Warrior attacked our Warrior, which easily destroyed its foe. No damage was reported. But two new Barbarian Warriors quickly moved in to the same tile as the Barb you can see in this picture. How can we hold them off untill our JT arrive?

As for C3B, they are still sitting on their mountain, and we sailed past them with our Curragh this turn.

These are all great news.

Sounds like C3B built a settler or two this turn... the decrease in pop would be explained by that..

How about sending the settler 2 tiles w of TF? We could use the forests around it to rush build a harbor when we know what harbors are. It would also have access to an irrigated cow when its not in use and it won't impact TF in regards to rank corruption.

Move our warrior away.

 

[RegentMan]

Yes, let's enslave those backward peoples! Use our warrior to lure the barbs to our javelin thrower.

That would be good decision. The city can then build some occasional workers.

The poll that you posted, after more then enough time to get a good result, says taht we will ask for permission. I suggest you do that before we mess around with an embassy. If you want I can e mail one of the C3B people tonight about it.

 

[akots]

Micromanagement note: IMHO, our capital has to build the settler atm. This is critical time for our country and this settler can play a decisive role in the game. It might be reasonable to build a city in between our capital and Zoi. I need to make sure and double check but it looks like building a city there would increase corruption in TF but would have no influence on SoZ time build.

 

[Cheetah]

Very well. But that would mean that Fanatazuma will be down to two population again...

Emp: I'll send a mail to them.

 

[Cheetah]

This is the mail I sent C3B:

Greetings.

As you might remember, we were researching Writing and completed it a turn or two ago.

We would like to establish an embassy with you, so we have the foundation ready for RoPs and other agreements when that time comes.
To avoid any diplomatic problems we are sending this mail to inform you about our plans,
and hope that you, in the spirit of friendship and cooperation, will approve of this.

Cheetah, Minister of Internal Affairs of Fanatica

 

[Ankka]

We have da save.

 

[Cheetah]

Hope they finish discussion by the time the save comes here.

Guess not. :-/

I'll play the save now then.
