[SPOILERS] 3 Players, 1 Civ, No Clues - Tatan, Nakor, and Serdoa are Darius of Rome

[waterbat]

No, thank you for the great reports.

Your team has a great story - faced with poor land, no resources, and a neighbor who apparently wants for nothing, you are setting to the sea in search of long rumored riches!

(gems will have to do)

[Ellimist]

Any particular reason you're only planning for 3 cities on that island? If you get the GLH, those cities will pay for themselves.

[Nakor]

Ellimist: No reason whatsoever, just trying to get max use out of all the land tiles. We probably could make it to 4 cities, but I'll let Serdoa and Tatan think about that.

As for the turn, Nero started TGL, Caesar started the Galley. Sunrise has another scout getting close to our lands.
Set tech on since we can get Writing in 5t at -4gpt and have 25 gpt in the bank.

Then I repaused the game... what is it with all the hot tempers in these games...

[Nakor]

And another not worth mentioning turn.
Decided to kill Sunrise's scout. We don't want him getting more intell on our lands...

Pyramids are build as well. I wonder if we manage to grab TGL.

[Tatan]

Ellimist: No reason whatsoever, just trying to get max use out of all the land tiles. We probably could make it to 4 cities, but I'll let Serdoa and Tatan think about that.

We might consider it, if the other island is really small. I cringe at planting 4 cities in a space with only 2 total food resources, but we might have to if we're really desperate for city spots. I don't know the exact math of how much the extra city will help/hurt financially.

Decided to kill Sunrise's scout. We don't want him getting more intell on our lands...

Bit unfortunate given that he just opened up to negotiations in the public thread, there's little hope of him ever trusting us now. Still, at least that sets him back on pinpointing our exact location and figuring out that we have absolutely no iron whatsoever.

[Nakor]

Didn't see any reason to let him into our lands that would benefit us...

[Serdoa]

Hey guys, I know I am not around much, but Nakor asked for my input regarding TGL-build, so thats what I came up with:



I haven't done anything ingame when I checked (apart from changing the tiles in the cap but I think they are as they should be for this turn). Next turn the GLH mine 2S of the capital should be finished and that gets worked together with the other GLH mine and the PH mine and the cow for 4 turns. T79 you'll start an axe (make sure that you are working the correct tiles so that it is two-pop whipable AND isn't getting more then 35 overflow because more then that won't be carried over), whip it at T80 and finish TGL on T81. edit: not whipping will result in a one turn delay. I don't see any way to get it faster then that unfortunately.

The whip anger currently in the cap will fade on T81, so T82 it can be regrown to size 4 as well. Probably should get Monarchy soon so that the cap can be grown a little bit bigger.

And please, recheck my micro. It is late and I am tired.

[Nakor]

Looking good, Serdoa! Thanks for taking a look.
Now all we have to do is follow your instructions, hope Sunrise will stay away and cross our fingers that no one else is building TGL....

[Nakor]

Our turns are mostly about scouting now and getting TGL ready while building a Galley and some more units.

Here's what scouting showed:



Another island, so more room to expand!



And more jungle...

[Tatan]

And please, recheck my micro. It is late and I am tired.

Everything adds up mathematically.

And more jungle...

All I can think of is this song...
