[SPOILERS] Novice's nominal nonchalance

[Krill]

I blame Krill.

You and the rest of the forum.

What would you tech first with China? I assume you wanted them for the starting techs becAuse you mentioned the start influenced that.

The point of China would be to build a warrior while growing to size 2, and then build and whip a worker. Research would be Bronze Working. The pros of this plan is to get a couple of warriors out early, and gain access to copper and slavery, but it does delay the first worker by 2 turns, 3 turns if non-spiritual.

Another tempting civ is Zulu.

Are you at all interested me being a C&D dept. lurker? Feel free to say no

(I've only read this thread so far, but I'll go global lurk otherwise as I'm far too curious about what's going on to not look at the other threads if there's no reason not to )

I see no reason to decline... as long as the other players are ok with me getting the extra help. I'll check.

I think this is out - with the map being standard size techs are more expensive, and I need to work suboptimal tiles just to get the worker out 2 turns late. And then I get issues with not having Animal Husbandry quickly enough to improve the sheep.

So I guess it'll be the boring worker->warrior opening, and probably warriors until size 4 at least.

Since the others seem OK with me doing the C&D I've got a spreadsheet set up & started filling in who's playing what. It lives here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?...2E4QWlFUGc Visible to any with link, atm only me+novice can edit.

That stuff should be banned.

But so far it doesn't seem to lead to increased spam ... phew!
