[SPOILER] retep can't get enough weed

[retep]

Spiritual Asoka got a religion and Organized Asoka now is in Organized Religion.

[Cornflakes]

Did you found a religion or get a free spread? (maybe you mentioned this already and I just don't remember reading it)

Yes I found Judaism.

Cornflakes post has make me realized how much I have been slacking with the reports, so I'll try to do all tonight.

Turn 64.




The worker finish chopping, MH whipp the settler and puts the oveflow into a granary.




The worker finish chopping, US grows to size 4 and start a settler.




Red: Finish chopping, then road the wheat.
Black: Finish cottage then road the wheat.
Blue: Finish chopping then moves 1SE to make a road for the new city.
Orange: This is the worker that was heading south. He has put one turn in a road in that tile (the blue circle one).

Now about my tech path. I'm heading towards Monotheism. Why?
Lets check what options I have:
Writing : Writing would give me open borders. I don't have neighbors and even if I have they probably won't give me OB because the GLH.
The library is okay but the only city that could take use of it is the Capital. The problem is that right now whipping is more useful than the 5bft that a library could give me.
It also open the path to maths. This is a good but the problem is that I can't save the forest for so many turns, I need the hammers now to keep expanding and getting infrastructure.
Iron Working: Iron Working obviously reveals the iron tile, I think I have one in one of the deserts tile so that good. The thing is I don't need iron right now.
It also let me chop jungle, this is huge for me since I have jungle to the south and probably to the island/continent to my SW. It will also let me work the jungle-gems for my happy.
The problem with this is that I don't have the worker labor to cleared the jungle by the time I finish to research it. So I think it can wait for a bit.
Monotheism: Polytheism was found in turn 63 so it doesn't matter. Monotheism will give a religion this means a happy face, free culture with some lucky spreads, half temples (not so important since I won't research Priesthood for some time) and Organized Religion.
This is all things that I need and would need in the nearest future. I especially want OR. This would help me a lot since I lack production so badly. Better whips are always welcome.

As you, lurkers, can see choose going for Monotheism. I'm very confident that I could get it. I might be one of the few people that have researched Masonry already this gives me and advantage. Plus the other players should know that I built the GLH so the know I have Masonry. Hopefully this would discourage then to go for it.

P.D: This post take me 40 minutes to write. I guess I won't finish all the reporting today.

If you wonder why I took me 40 minutes to write that post, well I have to do it all from memory and remember stuff that happen days ago takes awhile for me

Turn 65.




SJ grows to size 5 and start a settler.



Here I make a mistake. The turn before I should start moving the warrior to protect the settler but I didn't. Now the city would be delayed for one turn. I can't risk to move the settler and he lands next to a barb warrior.

Orange: Finish the road.
Blue : Put a turn into a road.
Black: Moves to protect the settler.

[retep]

Turn 66.




Uva Seca whip the settler. Next turn it will start s work boat for a bit of exploring and for the new city to the west.




Blue: finish the road, necessary for a trade connection.
Orange: Move to the hill-pigs, he will start the...the...whatever it is that improve the pigs. (bear with my bad memory)
Black: The settler and the warrior, the city would be found next turn.
Now, why on earth I'ms settling a city off the coast when I just build the GLH?
Is a good spot though, more important it has cooper also even now with all the jungle has good tiles to work and later would be a great city, furthermore it will give the other cities one more TR right now.

How do you know that you have iron on one of your desert tiles?

You should have worked the ivory over the farm when you whipped the settler by the way, since food gets converted to hammers on that turn anyway.

Looks like I write that wrong, I was trying to say that IW reveals iron tiles, not that I have iron, and since iron tiles are common in desert I was/am thinking that I have one. I didn't want to imply that I have iron. I hope this clarify the mistake.

About the farm you are completely right. And thats why I did this.




I gave the elephant to the capital and work the plains hill. Yes I post the wrong picture. Thank you for pointing this out Noble.

Turn 67.




I found Pera Dulce.
Black: The warrior move to check some jungle and find a barb warrior.
Yellow: The warrior moves from MH to protec the new city in case the barb warrior kill black warrior.
Green: Start pasturing(just guessing I still don't remember the word) the pigs.
Orange: Will start chopping the monument next turn. Why a monument? I need to expand borders. I suppose Judaism could fall here but I can't take that gamble.




Blue: The workers after road the wheat, move 1W and make another road to speed up the settler and connect the horses later.
Red: The settler is moving, next turn he settle another city.




In case someone was asking what the hell the scout was doing, well he's about to die.

[retep]

Turn 68.




Black: The barb warrior suicide against my warrior. Now he is retreating to heal in the city.
Yellow: Is exploring for barbs clockwise around the city.
The Oracle was build. Probably by Sisu according to the jump in score. I guess he took MC.




Melon Magullado was found.
The workers move to the horses and start a pasture.
