[Spoiler] Team slowwalk of the Reservoir Cats (Suleiman/Korea, slowcheetah + Catwalk)

[Catwalk]

We can double whip the settler next turn, so I wanted to prioritize getting a road to the expansion completed fast. The plains road will shave one turn off the founding time, and we will also want the extra trade route soon. I assume we want a granary in the capital after the settler, and granary first in the second expansion.

On a side note, how about adopting a naming theme? The holy grail theme was weird to begin with, and we haven't really been able to think of anything else to go with it.

[Catwalk]

Played another turn. Completed the plains road and sent the third settler NW to chop down a forest for a granary. I've chatted a bit more with xenu and Sian. Turns out Sian is also Danish, which may help improve our relations with him. Somehow we both missed out on the other's nationality earlier on. xenu doesn't seem to be planning on going for any wonders, and he told me that he passed on the info about our deal with Sian to dazed. I think we should nudge dazed in the direction of Colossus, he will be able to take that from Sian easily and the Lighthouse by itself is not that much of a threat. If he runs away we can just close borders. Getting hold of dazed on chat too, will have a talk with him tonight.

Any suggestions for our foreign policy?

[slowcheetah]

Foriegn policy wise I'd like to secure NAP's with Dazed and San, turn 70-80 sounds a good bet 80 for Dazed, 70 for Sian because we'll probably be running rather light on military until then.

We definitely do need a new naming scheme but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Turn 38 (probably)

We settled our third city (new exciting name coming soon), and copper should be hooked in two turns or so.

I believe we were last to settle that third city but I think we can catch up. Need more workers soon though. I still like chopping a worker in the second city once the workers have finished with the copper.

t40?

- Copper mine finished, working it
- Renamed our cities to "Headache" (capital), "Didnt do dishes" (1st expansion) and "Jaw Hurting" (2nd expansion). Any guesses as to what our new naming theme is?
- Headache switched to 2x FP
- Didnt do dishes switched to Corn + mine (was on grassland farm + ivory, totally stalled its development with the engineer hogging most of the food surplus)
- Moved our explorers about a bit at random, do we have a plan?

I think we should try to negotiate a fair division of the 4 silvers in the tundra among all players. Losing a silver would set us back considerably, and trying to grab more than one will piss someone off something fierce. I don't think anyone is that keen on grabbing more than one anyway, so negotiation is likely to work. We could even try public negotiations in order to make people reluctant to look like a bad guy. Thoughts?

[slowcheetah]

I had switched the corn to the capital to grow it back up onto it's better tiles faster. At that point we could have switched it back to the second city, we should probaby give corn back to the cap next turn.

Personally, I think we should just try and get down to our silver faster, I'm not particularly eager to have more than one, but i dont really like border agreements very much.

Is the namescheme Everyday Irritations?

[Catwalk]

Next names will be "No Flowers" and "Forgot to call". Does that help any?

Agree with growing the capital, it will grow on this turn with 2x FP after that one turn of Corn + FP. As for silver, if we settle in the planned location I'm pretty sure xenu will steal the silver from us. Can be done very easily by settling next to it, as we're 2 tiles away from it. If you want to claim the silver, we'll need to settle up on it.

We could move the silver site 1SW It would be harder to reinforce but boating the city would then be impossible, so I guess it doesn't lose too much defensively.

Will later be adding "PMSing" and "On My Period". I may have to revise them if my wife finds out, though Ring any bells yet?
