Noice. This definitely feels of "value-laden tension zone". Marble!

Great Library!

A curse on competency.

Getting the gold/marble spot is now pretty high on my short-mid-term priority list.

Yes, probably? The plains hill one east of the scout is a solid second city spot already, so I suspect if we want to outdo Joao to the gold it needs to be our first city. Which seems...nonoptimal, but protective means I'm not throwing it out entirely. This spot with the scout here:

Claims gold and cows second-ring and shares rice with Cascade Point.

Retep did good at picking, but is he really that scary? He lost to WillLP in PB13 after giving up tactical initiative despite having ep vision. Retep is also conservative with his economy. Not sure if he'll have the fortitude to ride the bankruptcy line as required by joao

On the other hand, TBS gave an updated Joao playbook in pb19. And William posted a couple times so he's probably savvy.

Retep is bronze medalist in the rivals-we-want-to-avoid sweeps. Survivable, but I do favor the gold/cow/rice city first.

Borders popped, so we know Retep, and we see Cobra look a lot better. Swinging south now to see who we neighbor south of us.

Gavagai. It'll be Gavagai.

Are the lake crabs seen in the bottom right of the picture any good?

This dotmapping assuming 2nd rings is weird, man. Even if the Terrace justifies it, it's still weird.

Supposing that a lurker had only read the Thrawn books and wanted to give Zahn a chance in his own universe...where should that lurker start reading?

Quite good, actually. Baseline 5/0/2 tile, can be lighthoused for 6 food if you can work around the awkwardness of that dotmap.

Well, yeah. But terrace is definitely nerfed, make no mistake. Second ring is typically reached after 15 turns, versus 5 for creative. So having shares/boosters/first ring goodies is still pretty vital.

Well, you read David Weber, right? Zahn did a few good Manticore books too. But talking to my wife, our consensus is the following three are best:

Really, though, hard to go wrong. He's very very consistent and good.

Okay, we got ourselves a HAK south to go with our Ret(aeiouy)p east. Coolio.

Scout Con, 2015!
