Turn 68
Hello Cyneheard!
If he is indeed our northern neighbor that's not a too good neighbor roll, but at least he is not CRE.
Flossie is closer to Azza's capital than ours so maybe that enables Liberate option automatically? That little marble island will actually be a nice boost for Azza's economy due to intercontinental trade routes.
Yeah, I noticed the duplicate thing as well. Both Azza and we have ivory though, but that's about it. With whales + calendar resources we can get our capital to size 11, but if we want (and we want) to grow it further religion, HR, forge and market are our options. Techs are so expensive here that I think we will avoid the religion part of the tree still for a good while and I think teching Calendar before Monarchy is pretty clear here.
Yeah, I would like to be able to share Cornelius' corn, but that does not seem too practical and otherwise, as you said, we maybe continue with out current not so cramped approach. I have thought about getting crabs and sheep that you are referring to with separate cities, but I'm not really sure yet and happy to hear any ideas when the time comes. I would imagine that those end up as 13th-16th cities if things go well.

Quote:Interesting that there are no resource duplicates visible. That means popping a happy resource from a mine would be even stronger than it was for us in PB13. I wonder if it's a pattern that repeats around the world or if there are jungled areas with more resources? If the former then trading for happy isn't going to be an option and we'll need Monarchy to get our Bureaucap going.

Quote:I can't see any improvements on your dotmap - I guess the question south of the capital is do we plant a close city to grow cottages and then one for the crab and sheep or plant first ring for both resources? The land in the south is poor enough that its not worth packing the cities in so I'm not really sure what the best approach here is.
