Turn 81 - 1000BC

[akots]

I am very proud to announce that our mighty fleet has arrived to its destination safely and unloaded the cargo they were carrying including settler and JT on the foot of the Great Iron Mountain on the Iron island. We are ready to settle next turn. How to name the city?

Our exploration of C3B lands go as planned. Now both our boats fit to a single zoomed-out screenshot:

In our mainland, everything is quiet and well. SoZ will be ready in 2 turns and CoL will be researched in 3 turns, slightly ahead of schedule. The following builds are going on:

capital - JT (ready in 2 turns)
Rytty - barracks
Charnel - galley
Savannah - warrior for MP (since we are going for Monarchy, we would need this badly)

Please approve or disapprove these builds. After SoZ, TF will be switched to barracks for 2 turns, then apparently we will receive Monarchy and remaining 20 shields can be whipped at a cost of a citizen before revolting. But I'm not sure about this.

All other builds are as discussed previously include our wonder, workers and settler from Zoi which will be ready in 3-4 turns.

The city will be named Chrysanthemum, after the bunny in the children's book who is made fun of for being named after a flower, but then is liked when all the other bunny's favorite teacher (they were humanlike) finds out that the teacher is also named for a flower.

So in her honor, we must.

C3B's Warrior in our land scares me.....a lot.... How will they react when they realize that all our cities are still guarded by only warriors or not at all?

C3B's warrior is there legally. Also, Fanta will have produced a JT soon, increase the outlook of our card-board cut-out defenders. If just 1 more is build and accompanying the C3B warrior to the cities, there will be at least a 2-2-1 unit defending the cities.

And, personally I think C3B would prefer having info on our land and resources locations instead of setting us back 1 city. They also realise that their warrior can die trying to attack cities and with our SoZ finishing soon they won't dare inflict war now. If they want war they would have declared earlier; this time is to our advantage, not theirs.

Hygro's suggestion sounds good on the city name.

I also think TF would be able to whip one citizen away, it might starve in anarchy anyway...

I wonder what the other teams will think when they'll see that we're holding the SoZ! I would like to see their faces...

BTW, looks like C3B lands are smaller than we have thought...

Same for me, same for me... I'd hate to lose cities due to sneak attack. I was having hard time with this and think we should accompany that warrior with JT. It might be considered as an honor escort. But 95% we are safe IMHO. Though 5% is still alot.

 

[RegentMan]

Chrysanthemum sounds like a perfect name for an iron city...

I do not think C3B will attack us now. Do they even know where we're building SoZ? Because it would stink if I were wrong and they attack Thunder Falls and destroy our progress.

I have no objection against the city name but can we shorten it a little bit like Chry? Chrysan? Chrysanth? Chrysathem?

How about, in our long honoured tradition of naming a city after our Minister of Internal Affairs, we name it Akots City of something.
