Turn Discussion Thread

Looks like W is the leading candiate now. I'll switch my vote to that for the sake of consensus, it's a good move as well.

Hopefully Quatronia can make the hard decision of how to move their warrior so we can see what's beyond the fog.

The fog-gazing tells us that there's land two tiles west doesn't it? Looks like it from the screenshot. So he won't be out a turn going NW.

That said, I'm joining the W bandwagon anyway because it's not SW

To clarify, I didn't mean we'd be out of a turn immediately -- you are right, that isn't possible because of the fog-gazing. But you can imagine a coast line that's headed directly south for a while, further to the west.

Why do you people hate exploring coastline so much?

If the coast does that, then we're looking more and more like being on a small island, in which case exploring along the coast line starts to make complete sense.

I've got nothing against it in general, I just didn't want to do it first. Finding the overall shape of the continent/island we're on is much more interesting than finding out what's on a few sea squares.

Now that we're looking more and more like being on an island however I'm much more inclined to hug the coastline and look for distant shores.

Okay, I'm now equally amenable to NW.

 

[Lord Parkin]

I'm also open to NW. We're up, so we should finalize a decision soon.

 

[champinoman]

I'll change my vote to W. Didn't see the hill at first and it will reveal lots of coast as well to explore that much loved coast

Sorry Azzaman. Speaking for myself, from our starting position I thought it was better to head inland, and my subsequent votes were sticking with that plan. That said, if the next move shows we are indeed on a small island, I would agree it would be a good idea to switch to coastal exploration to better define our geographic limits, and see if other islands are within WB/galley exploration range.

 

[Zjoekov]

I vote for SW. Reveals more land tiles I think.

 

[hell_hound]

We should explore the coast! Like azzaman has been saying, we are clearly on a small island, so exploring the maximum number of land tiles is pointless. Also seafood is a useful resource and if we explore the coast now it saves having to go back and do that later.

 

[Irgy]

Taking everyone's most recent votes, along with either stated or implied second preferences, so far we have:

Irgy: NW, W
Allan97: W
AlphaShard: W
grant2004: SW, W
champinoman: W, SW
dima42: W/NW
Trstero: W, SW
Lord Parkin: NW?
Zjoekov: SW

Pairwise preferences:
W v SW: 6-2
W v NW: 5-1(2?)
NW v SW: 4-3

I'd say that's pretty clear for west actually. hell_hound and azzaman333 have state a preference for exploring the coast as well, which suggests W or NW.

 

[azzaman333]

NW, fwiw.

 

[GoSkins]

I vote W. SW will be opened up when our city borders expand. 5 turns since we're creative.

 

[Irgy]

Just logged in to check demographics. While I was there I noticed from the colour of the water; it's quite clear to me that there's land just outside of our visibility range to the southeast. There's 1 square of ocean for a number of tiles, meaning the land kind of imitates the shape of our land for a while. It all seems a little artificial in that sense.

Our creative trait will help us reach it sooner, yay for us.

I know it isn't the right place to ask, but I didn't find the answer or a good place:
What is the password to see the game please?

[Lord Parkin]

I'm still sticking with NW, but if the majority wants W then I guess that's what we'll do. Not a huge difference anyway.

 

[azzaman333]

Straight west is a terrible move. NW or SW, preferably north.

 

[pindicator]

I like NW myself

 

[azzaman333]

Not moving along the diagonal makes me crazy.
