Hi again!

I will continue with anouther round later this day. at work now but will give you a preview. I have settled two more citys and have built my third settler. i am thinking where to build this city. on spot 1 or 2 is most temting, 1 will give us nor more than rice, 2 will give us iron, rice and ivory. iron is outside the fog in this map ifory will be ours untill i have built some culture attacking improvments agains the greekish city founded south.

site two is what i shood go for, site 1 is werry bad as a city me think.

I would be inclined to settle on the plains hill (assuming it's plains) by the pig first. It will at least speed up production of a lighthouse...

Have you explored near Site 1? There could be some seafood or something good in the fog.

 

[dragomaster]

yes it's only seasquares

Well, once you clear the jungle over the rice, it won't be so bad; it'll be a decent cottage city. Is there any food near the Elephants? A new screenshot would be nice! If there is, I'd suggest grabbing the elephants first, to be on the safe side, before grabbing Site 1.

Part 2 (2200 BC - 1400 BC)

It has been a good game so far, two gems near, one in the capitol and one in my third planed city. this will realy speed my resech in early game.

I had my first settler and was aiming for a spot south of Birka. Funny enough the settler asked us "what my plan was" so i will tell you.

As you can see this will make a pretty good capitol in the future. when it built the palace it will take the gems from Birka, have two more riverside cottages, iron, pigs and plenty of hills. As a future Capitol as many sugested; Odense whod be a proper name. That city is one of the the earliest viking citys in Scandinavia, still exist today and is lying on the biggest iland in Denmark. the settler went there and Odense was founded.

after this Birka created an archer and workboat. odense built a barrack, it will be a PC in early and late game. reserch aiming towards writing. I want to make open boarder agreement to see what alex got. he will be my first target. not good to have alex around so wy not kill him.

our scout exploring the map and found Ramses II a bit earlier. here you can see more gems. wonder if alex will clame this site, its pretty near his boarders. I hope he's not do it to early I want to have good pace on reserch and if he mine those he will keep up with us.

after wrighting and sailing it was 1600 BC, river gems is nice to have in capitol however I had my second settler ready do pick next dot. pretty good spot. many overlaps but in the begining of the game it will be a nice PC, and later a mediocer CC but it's coastal and here comes the plan. I will try to grab the greate lighthouse and later the colossos. so that could be a nice monny city after all. when masonry is finnised i will whip Birka and continue thowards greate lighthouse. techs afterwards will be math and my worker will work the gems, this will bost my reserch a bit thowards math and when math is finnished i will chop river forest south of birka and get 30 hammers to g lighthouse. I hope it will work.

1480 BC Visby was built on the spot and my worker starded to work the gems. two turns later i stopped.

i have played a bit further but i don't want to continue that save cos i want to inquiry from this piont. and tokogawa is far east just so you know.

shood we continue thowards MC or shod we go thowards CoL. there is no religons on the continent so far, CoL maybe make us Confusian and the couthouse is nice to have when next city is founded. or shood we reserch MC and get colossos? maybe literature and then music so we can grab the greate artist and maybe notredam?

Alex don't seem to have have any metals yet so an early war is not out off discussion.

there is some spots i want to grab and i shood build a boat and search the shores for future traderutes and theres an iland north of birka to explore aswhell.

I begine with the maps of possible citys.

and the overview.

se you all soon
