Yeah, I guess it would not be a terrible idea. However, it's also not a terrible idea to wait until we have solved this suttree issue and hopefully have a grasp on the "river valley".
Quote:I don't think 2 eps on Suttree will stop him getting our graphs - 43/45 will probably be over the threshold, while 43/47 might not be - or do you know something I don't? I can't find an article explaining the ratios, although I'm sure I saw one once. Anyway he's set to get 4 this turn, then we can go back to Slow next turn.
I'm fine with putting 4 EP's on Suttree!
Since we actually have some soldier points currently, not letting suttree get our graphs until T92 is a solid idea. I don't have more info than you - I believe it's a close case whether 43/45 would be enough. Quote:We haven't researched animal husbandry yet, so we may have horses, but can't recognise them.
Apart from the early tech mechanics confusion, not getting AH before Writing is possibly the biggest
we have done so far. Consequently, you are Hydra raising a very important issue. 
I think we will get AH after Calendar. If suttree really has only axes, chariots would be awesome of course. However, already 1 spear would make them practically useless (bad investment) in the attack. I'm kind of happy that we have bowmen. Because of their cheapness they are not totally terrible when attacking, and as city defenders they are well worth their cost. If we manage to raze suttree's city and get 2 bowmen + settler on the jungle hill we are targeting, it will be extremely difficult/costly for suttree to return us the favor.
