Without road on the silver city won't be connected to empire. Silver will be, but not city.
As I understand, thats how TR works - using two rivers and coast to connect city#6.
Still, we couldn't build mine faster than T78.
ETA for city#6 9 of silver:
T75 - workers road 2/3
T76 - city founded, road done (city#6 connected), silver 1/5
T78 - silver connected to empire (mine done).
T80 - Spear from Stanford on Silver
T81 - borders expanded
In case we plant city 9 of silver, build queue should look like workboat->granary->walls->lighthouse or maybe even walls before granary (after stone connected)
1. So the silver will be connected via the river in sixth city, which then connects via coast to Stanford's city? Do you think you can sim just to make sure?
2. By the way, the sixth city should be some abbreviation of "University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign" … I suggest UIllinois.
3. Turn 75, Care Bears founded 2 more cities.
(Turn 74, Asterix founded one … let's hope Care Bears did it in their direction.4. Good plan for the silver city. I agree, Workboat -> Walls -> Granary -> Lighthouse. (Start walls once we get stone connected, though … otherwise just keep bringing military in towards that area.)
5. I still can't think of whether to settle 7 or 9 of the silver. Too much of it depends on how Team GG plays … if you like 9 of silver over 7 I'm okay with that.
