[SPOILERS!] Pericles of Babylon. Kyan, Twinkletoes, Whosit.

Um, where exactly did the Warrior end up moving? Hopefully we'll get the reload, but if not, I suppose we deal with it.

SW instead of NW.

[Twinkletoes89]

What moves have you just made Kyan?

[Kyan]

Ha i made the move at stupid o'clock this morning when i got in. I just moved the warrior NW to get him back on course matey. Nowt exciting to report at all.

I wonder how long til contact- with this many civs it cant be tooo long.

[Twinkletoes89]

Just been on game as turn rolled over.

Here's screenie:



What is the move for this turn?

I'm guessing NW but I wanted to check with you both before doing it.

[Kyan]

Yep matey, north-west is best in my opinion. We need to start scouting asap and we can afford to be a bit reckless as we have a 'warrior in the wings'.

[Twinkletoes89]

Righteo, I will move and let you know the findings.

No cock-ups this time!

EDIT - Here is screenie. BEAR!!! and pretty much naff all besides!



I'm guessing next moves will be W then SW, use hills for extra defence and visibility?

I agree, this also allows us to further see if we can make any use of a potential rice site.

[Whosit]

Agreed on moves. Desert to the NW isn't looking too attractive.

By the way, it kind of occurred to me that TT missed a great opportunity to write a "clueless Pericles" episode with the Warrior miss-move. At least, I don't recall such a write-up.

Ho-hum. Not much to do while we wait for the Worker, huh?

Oh, but the next time someone is in game, can you check the ETA on Mining? We can plan out Worker moves better that way. Our Worker should complete same turn as AH due to the Warrior partial build. 6 turns to pasture the sheep. It'll probably take more time than that to do Mining, so 5 turns for grassland farm next, and if needed, a couple of roads, but we can start mining the riverside hills first, I think.

Edit: Though it looks fairly obvious, that's a freshwater lake. Depending on what's around, we could possibly make use of that area with massive numbers of farms. If the game lasts long enough for Biology to come into play, well . . . .

[Kyan]

Yeah it's a bit boring right now as we are just exploring and finding a whole lot of nothing. Novice moved west and discovered not a great deal. Worth noting tho is that the land seems to be clearing up. A lot of riverside grassland that way- a sign we're approaching someone else's capital?



We are currently making 10 beakers a turn and mining costs 90- therefore 9 turns for mining.
