[SPOILERS] Caught in tides of war... yuris125 and Krill - PBEM56

[Krill]

Yeah, I wouldn't do it normally, but because the scout move can uncover the entire BFC it makes it much easier to figure out if moving 23 is worth doing. I'm a bit iffy about going BW first, but I think it works if the plan is to rush a settler at size 2 with a chop and/or a slave (which depending on the MM could even get second worker before the settler). I think the problem with hooking hte gems early is that with AH there just isn't enough food to work it, which is why the plains hill site intrigues me: faster worker, faster second worker, faster settler = settle with 2nd city for gems? Still got IMP so third settler isn't hard to get either for copper/horse...
