Turns 11 - 20: Summary Thread

[King Flevance]

Just to check, I take it you know that the lower forest that you've maked with an 'x' in the military city is on a hill as well?

Actually, I hadnt spotted that until you mentioned it. That works even better though IMO. That city site looks like we will have more than enough food to work the mines for cranking out alot of units early on. (Only because of the wheat and fish) It wouldnt be able to hold near the population the other two cities would but as a military city that wouldnt really be needed too much.

Also the thing I like about that city site for an early military city is that later on (after civil service and we have expanded much further) we will still be able to draw some commerce out of the coastal tiles. (+2 as opposed to the +1 from ocean tiles that we would have in the radius if going north.) Thus we could benefit slightly from throwing a market in there to help us out with cashflow.

I would still REALLY like to see another resource show up in the research city's radius but oh well if not. It has that nifty lake nearby grassland to give us all the food we need. We already have access to wheat,fish,crabs, and corn for health. The gold will allow us a +1 to happiness. I wouldn't be against putting cottages in some of the places I listed as farms though. I was just wanting to point out the abbundance of food in the area.

EDIT: Although if we go this route and still tried a Pyramid rush I would suggest using the capitol for military production. Settling the military city first and trying to get it to complete the Pyramids. But this is by no means a 'rush' more than just going for it early. I am sure we are not the only ones talking about the Pyramids on our board right now.
Anyone have any thoughts on that stone yet? I hate that its so far and AND in the desert to boot. But if we want those Pyramids we should nab it fast. I havent really thought out to how we are going to go about wonders yet as the explored area is too great yet. I have mostly been looking for nice city locations so far. The Tundra to the south is kinda unpromising IMO. We have alot of trees down there but once they are gone we would easily end up with a worthless city with the Pyramids in it. But I dont want to say that for sure just yet.

i have to agree with that idea too we could also use the gold down south to also boast our rescherch

siran gave us a BRILLENT start

Well that sold it for me, and the rest by the looks of things.

Alpha Wolf defeats Lions

- Gains 1 exp. 0.7 HP​

Alpha Wolf moves E

- Spots Incense!​

- Spots Lions!​

Bravo Wolf moves W.

The East:


The West:


Establishment Shot:




With regards to the lions, the plan is to get on the hill to the east of Alpha Wolf, unless the lions move towards AW, in which case I think we should run away.

In the west, I think the body of water might indeed be a lake as the far coast line looks as if it is curving around.


Cheers,

what you rEakon the cnahcnes are od copper being next to our city

 

[jeejeep]

for the city planning I agree with Flevance that it would be nice to have a resource near research city. Otherwise it could be rather hard for it to get lots of cottageable tiles. Which city are we founding first, Research or Production?

 

[King Flevance]

I vote production

 

[Karl Townsend]

i vote productions then resherch

 

[ranathari]

Production.

 

[koondrad]

Agriculture discovered!

Research started on Fishing.

Alpha Wolf moved E.

- Spotted Lions!​

Bravo Wolf moved W.

- Spotted Lions!​

- Spotted Wheat!​

The West:






Important: Should we let Alpha Wolf fortify on the hill until healed?

If anyone wants to change the research to something else, please say.

how many turns?

 

[King Flevance]

That stone location is just horrifying. It got worse every step towards it.

On the up side the southwest is looking better.

I vote fortify Alpha. Research I am indifferent on atm, fishing sounds ok to me but I wouldnt be opposed to any suggestions.

 

[koondrad]

Aye, I just went with fishing because it was the only suggestion I received when I last asked.

Why dont you just check the water tiles in the lake/bay to see if it is fresh water or not? That would quickly answer the question.

 

[koondrad]

It's not fresh water.

 

[Karl Townsend]

awww crap
anyways lets keep exploring then when we build the second settler build a city next to the gold

 

[I am the Future]

It's not fresh water.

That sucks, but that would have been a lot easier to do a long time ago then spend all the time wondering

well theres no sence of moaing abotu it nowwe ight as well reserch fishing then go for mining if we didnt start with it
