Agreed.
Quote:We need to start roading on t90 for Hastings to get settled on t92 so I don't think we can be sneaky about it. I like the idea of the declare/offer peace trick t89, I wonder if Suttree will go for it again?
I have an additional idea on how to handle this, but let's wait first and see what suttree does. I think he is still at 3 cities, which is pretty crazy, so I guess we can expect anything from him now.
Quote:I'd then like to send a bowman to check if any settlers are making their way over towards us. If we won't win the race there is a desert hill that gets all the dye, then the grass hill east of the dye seals off the rest of the area (assuming Suttree settles the hill, which he might not - he'd be more sensible to go for the corn himself).
Mixed feelings about the bowman since I would not like to give any hints that we are expanding into that direction and we can't really speed up our settler ourselves. That desert hill was what I was eyeing myself too!
Quote:- Roading to I sounds good - I'd go NW-W so the worker can start the pasture earlier unless you have a tactical reason for roading the forest?
No, NW-W sounds good. That was just a very rough idea. I haven't counted how that works out when it comes to worker turns, so let's think about this more carefully and see what's the best way to organize stuff.
Quote:We have three workers at Cannae to get the sugar hooked two turns after calendar comes in - can we afford to delay it?
Well, pretty much. If I understood correctly you we're getting sugar online at T101 and now we are getting both whales and sugar during T102. In the micro plan you have still two workers near Endor doing stuff that does not seem super critical so we might want to consider running one of them to Cannae in order to replace the leaving worker. But that's still 15 turns in the future and so much can happen before that so I don't think we should test anything just yet. Let's wait at least until T89/90: Getting that worker on the galley should happen fairly easily without much planning.
