also - I wouldn't be surprised if that gold is roughly halfway between us and team priate... We should be considering a grab for it as like Lewwyn said earlier - it will help us limp to currency and CoL.
AFAIK there isn't even a way to install it on iOS, nevermind android. I hope someone fixes that eventually. It would be nice to not have to haul around a laptop to play a turn here and there.
Seems some enterprising person could set up a terminal server that launches CIV at log on. Performance would suck through RDP but we aren't playing civ for the shiny factor these days (I guess unless you're playing Civ5). On the road and have a PBEM turn due? Log into the server with your (insert client device here) and get to it. Pipe dream?  Spam on!
Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon
The reason AH second is necessary is straight forward: get to hook the sheep instead of getting 1 cottage up and we will need AH to hook the grass cow if we settle for the corn/cow city, or if we settle for the coastal plains hill to the east to steal the sheep from PB3.
I'm glad we're going AH second, seems much faster. BW or Pottery after AH? How soon do we want to start a granary in the capital?
I think we should get roughly 3 workers and 2 settler out of the way before starting on a granary. That way we get to BW and chopping faster, helping significantly with completing those early workers and settlers. Chopping gives 20 hammers for 4 worker turns at Normal, compared with 13 hammers for 4 worker turns at Quick. While cottages will be useful and we want them early, I think chopping is a better use of our first workers (after improving resources). So my recommendation is AH => BW => Pottery. BW helps more early on and we will still get Pottery when we need it. |
But seriously, would that be a win/win?
