[SPOILERS] Team EggHeads: DMOC and TeddyKGB (Now Lurker-Friendly!)

[DMOC]

Turn 14 - 3440 BC

Our worker is now named Archimedes, going with our mathematician theme. We can call him "Worker A" for short, which should help us in our micromanagement plans once we get multiple workers out.



Our scout discovered more fertile land, including dyes (plantations give +4 commerce) and spices (plantations give +1 food and +2 commerce). Sadly, Calendar will probably not be one of our early tech goals, so I'm not sure how effectively we'll be able to use this land just yet.

So where should the scout go now? I'm going to suggest that he go southeast to defog the land east of our capital, but keep in mind that the turn 25 border pop will reveal some of those tiles, so we should move the scout in a way to minimize waste. How does going 3-3 sound? Alternatively, if we want to see the north a bit more we can go 6-9 and get on the hill. According to our micro plan we can have our first warrior guard our worker as he roads outside the borders for 2 turns.



Here are the demographics.



Some thoughts:

(1) Pacal II of Native America were the only team to get a score increase, and they got a tech, which I'm pretty sure is Animal Husbandry, and this is reflected in the increase in average rival power from 2777 last turn to 3000 this turn. (And the change from "rival worst power" 0 to 2000.)

(2) The only team without a third tech is still Gladiator's Glory (Ragnar of Rome) and they're definitely going to get Bronze Working next turn. We should see the average rival power next turn increase substantially, by almost 1000 points.

(3) I'll try to get a detailed micromanagement plan up soon.

(4) When will we start making contact with other teams? I really hope it's soon....

EDIT: Upon second thought, maybe 6-9 is right ... we're not going to need the land directly east of the lake anytime soon (beyond what the capital's border pops are), and I'd like to see a bit more up north before circling back. What do you think?
