TLDR version: Built a settler and a bunch of workers. Killed a lizard, a warrior and a fawn. Popped the Pyre for an ogre and a fawn. Casualties: Skippy the scout.
t68 overview:
t69:
Here you can see my settler moving into position. The road on the copper will finish t72, allowing me to move my settler to the marked tile t72 and found Golden Shanty on t73. The worker that is currently mining will finish t72 as well. Turn 73 they will both move to the copper and start mining it, completing on turn 74 (the same turn Bronze working comes in)
A bit of axe micro. I wanted Lightsocket to have the axe at the start of turn 72 (you can only swap it once/turn) as I was considering attacking the Ogre once it stepped into the desert. Turned out he still had lousy odds, so General Martok took the axe back on t72 to act as stack defender against the Fawn.
The situation in the east at the end of turn 72 (with movement micro notes)
I'm aiming to attack the Ogre on t74. Lighsocket with the axe (st 3 + 1 fire +1 bronze) =5 x1.4 (C2) = Strength 7. Ogre: St 9 + 20% (c1) - 20% (nomad) - 40% (shock)= 9/1.4= 6.43.
It won't be great odds but even if he dies he should weaken the Ogre enough that one of the Redshirts or General Martok can finish him off. General Martok was injured defending against the Fawn, and won't have the chance to heal.
GLT building a one turn worker (our 8th worker)
Following the worker, I'll build a Temple of Klimorph and two Lightbringers to upgrade to Thanes. GLT will grow to size 8 on turn 74, the same turn as the grass gold mine finishes.
Composite overview shot:
I'll be swapping to Apprenticeship t73 for the xp boost. The Aristocracy swap will happen turn 83.
If no one beats me to it, I'll have the Form of the Titan complete in Golden Hovel by turn 94/85.
Diplo and some C&D observations to follow.
