[spoilers] Pax Commodorica: Pharaoh of Rome

[Hashoosh]

What does tech look like with that Oracle build? Theo in the cards (if we delay writing)?

[retep]

So in the end you went Agri-BW? I actually mine that hill because I could be shared.

[Mardoc]

Defensive terrain because you saw nothing can come from the south a move earlier, and you've got the river for anything from the west?

Got it in one.

Nope, Agri-Hunt-BW; given the dropping of AH from the path for the next fifty turns the cows get farmed anyway so.

Metal Casing is the target, naturally. Tech is basically Pottery, Polytheism (maaaaybe Hinduism)-Priesthood, all enablers.

...but Bronze is definitely going to change the plan a bit, hopefully the first city goes for copper. Because guess who we just met before I misclicked the worker like a tool?

Joy.

[retep]

Well Thoth is pretty far away, right?

About ten turns away. But I still expect an impi or chariot on the beeline as soon as one is built. Not going for a kill, just a little friendly pestering.

I did't know/remember he was Zulu.

Is your plan building oracle take MC, build a forge and try to get a GE to rush The pyramids?

[Dp101]

Well, if he decides he hates you, then this is gg

Thoth? He just plays rough. He loves me, I love him. He'll just want to choke because Thoth is Thoth, it's how he thinks with Zulu and me Rome.

[Commodore]

Well, Thoth is going to find it slightly mysterious which direction I came from for another turn; Xenu is as OCD as I am about drawing rivers right...so that little hook means water on the indicated tile. It would be unfair to give me a null salt tile and Thoth a freshwater tile, so that's probably a sea blocking in that direction. This is assuming near-mirroring of starts, but the techs we all got plus seeing another riverside cow + peak second ring makes me think that at least our tile types are balanced.


At home, farming. We're gaining a couple beakers into Hunting thanks to Thoth; his long tech was indeed AH as well, getting the benefit there too. Which means he gets a little help on Mining. Anyway, farm completes in three more turns.
