I'm back!!! Sorry for being pretty much out of touch for a while. The short version is that my brother graduated from Navy boot camp (I mentioned that I think) but then his flights got cancelled and I ended up driving him around (about 500 miles) and entertaining him. It was great to see him, but my weekend plans were toast...
It was bad timing because a lot of stuff happened over the weekend that I missed out on. Diplomacy is getting really exciting, especially with that message from Krill. My stance on our diplomatic situation is: kudos to Ilios for handling the situation with Morgan. To be honest, I don't have warm fuzzies towards Morgan and would be glad to take him out in the future if the opportunity arose. I have no inclination whatsoever to make any concessions to Morgan. If we have to wait two turns for our warrior, that's fine with me. I'd rather do that than let him feel like he has the upper hand in any way.
Negotiations with A4 are going to be of incredible importance and we need to put a lot of thought into that. I concur 100% with encouraging them to expand towards the empty space left by Korea.
I prefer city two to be with horses, wheat, sheep. Good points have already been made about it so I don't need to go through it all from scratch. Since we don't know where copper is yet, I think we need horses for the chariots as they will be our only serious offensive unit as the barbs pick up. Also, having two food resources now and another half food resource with calendar is just too good. We will be able to slave there consistently even at smaller sizes.
One situation that I would really like to continue to improve on is the lack of information to our east and south. I would rather not have to change Tricky's marching orders. As I mentioned, I'd prefer to build another warrior if necessary instead of limiting our recon. Once other civ's plant more cities, it'll be harder to explore, so I'd like to stay on top of that as much as possible.
Let's try to set up a chat with Krill. I'd like to wait till after that happens to say much more because he is atleast implying that it could seriously affect our strategy. I'm free for a GChat anytime after 1:00PM (GMT-6).
