Turn 84 - 925BC

[akots]

We finished researching Code of Laws and now are researching Currency scheduled to arrive in 14 turns. In 2 turns, there is a big tech trade with C3B.

Next turn, our warrior and worker would be dispatched to the Iron Island to connect the iron and to defend our holdings there.

JT continues to explore advancing to the second hut there:

Next turn the settler from Zoi will be ready. he has 2 choices to build cities, which are black dot and red dot. IMO, they are of equal value. One has fish and is slightly closer to the capital, another enables us to claim more land nad has low corruption and access to grassland for some growth. Please make the choice.

 

[akots]

Our curraghs continue their endless sailing around C3B. Here is what they discovered recently:

 

[akots]

Here is also a Demographics screen. We have slightly improved in a few parameters which is evident for those who follow the game. Not sure though is it temporary or more or less permanent.

 

[RegentMan]

Wow, you're right akots. Either the red dot or the black dot would be a fine choice. I'm leaning towards the red dot, but want the black dot settled next. Also, where and when will our cities on iron island be place?

 

[Matrix]

I'd choose the dot closest to the first settler built.

 

[Rik Meleet]

I'm leaning towards moving the settler to Iron-Island.

 

[magnusmarcus]

Red dot...... Cause red ones go faster....

Perhaps a poll?

 

[Ankka]

Red dot first, then the black one.

Are we gonna revolt to Monarchy when we get it?

 

[magnusmarcus]

Perhaps we should think about prebuilding the forbidden palace.... If we are not going to use the palace prebuild to build another wonder......

How many more cities do we need to build before its available?

Just a thought

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

red first; its closer.
then black
then iron island
and one of those is mine!

 

[akots]

... How many more cities do we need to build before its available? ...

We can start right now to build FP. This can be polled IMO. Best site might be TF but the problem is that it would take away shields from expansion again. I'd like a wait for little bit before starting seriously to go after FP. At least after we revolt to Monarchy.

Looks like red dot is preferred atm. Then might go black dot or the fishing village or another town on the island. I'm thinking that iron city Chrys is kinda low on production because of terrain and corruption. We can build another city closer to Charnel and build harbor there which may speed the things up a bit. Chrys then can build something else, may be temple, to get more fertile land inside its borders.

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

Red dot ,i don't think we need a poll most want red.

We need some catching up to do momentarily so i would rater not go for forbidden palace yet.

 

[Rik Meleet]

TF should finish barracks first. Vet AC's are so much better than reg AC's.

If the choice is between red and black; it's red for me.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

I agree with Rik. We should get a rax in TF, as the extra would make it so that we have 5/5 vet ACs. Also, it would time out perfectly so that we get it before the 1st AC is made.

And once again: RED(rum). Then Black.
/me starts humming Les Mis.

 

[akots]

Unfortunately, rax in TF cannot finish in time by themselves and 16 remaining shields would have to be whipped there. Alas, this is the only way. Another bad thing is that the city might actually starve a little because of this during forthcoming Anarchy but by no more than one citizen.

If C3B were active enough and had a harbor prebuild, this would ease the pain of Anarchy for both our nations. I'm wondering, they are doing this on purpose or because they are weak ppls?

You may have noticed a worker building a road to an incense on a hill in there northern lands... They may only have one incense connected right now and this may be why they haven't rushed to build a harbor..... Of course they told us way earlier they had 2 incense (1 connected) but then later they told us they never explored in there northern lands...???? hmmmm...

 

[Rik Meleet]

In a previous chat with C3B they told us that since we didn't want to sell Ivory to them before SoZ was finished they just assumed we weren't interested in trading and they never bothered to connect their 2nd Incense.

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

I'll see if I can get them to connect it.

 

[akots]

This was a very bad diplomatic move. The person who told them this would be responsible for starvation of our citizens during Anarchy. Many people will die of hunger...

Some C3B citizens may die as well. But this is their business.
