There's another settler coming out. It's nice to haves axes prior to aggressive settling, which will likely push towards Adlain.

Re: Warlord...
So the copper is fairly close, but that must be really awful scouting to not defog the copper tile 5-distance from the capital. Still, I don't think this will kill Warlord, hill archers will make it a pain to take a city 16-distance from your capital. At most, this calls for a choke. If he loses his front city, I don't think Warlord has enough time to research archery, AH, build a road to the horses 3332 from his capital, and plant a third city without losing all his 6-yield tiles. Re: Locke... I think that's a fine city, I've always been of the opinion that 2nd cities should be production focused, letting you pump workers and settlers. I wouldn't even whip it, at size 4, you're getting 12H/turn and +2F/turn, giving 3.5turn workers. It's pretty defensible, the lake and the hills shield it from 2-movers to the north or west, too bad it's not on a hill. If you want an aggressive 3rd, you'll want a city 1SW of the copper, but it'll be a pain to secure that city's southern border due to a lack of good food resources for a city site.

I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Seems very conservative to me. I would have thought that SW SW from where the 2nd city is now would have been slightly better... Generally their play hasn't been the most optimal - Those GLH mines that aren't on the river seem a little silly to me - why miss the 1c?
Did warlord just ragequit out of the game when he thought he had no copper and a hostile neighbour that did? Because that sucks, now Plako has a huge advantage over the new turnplayer, he has a couple of turns on them. Nakor may regret giving Plako free reign over a politically destabilised neighbour as well!
Has anyone tried to contact his buddy Metallian?

Well well well, it worked! The wordy guy was right, down to the 2turn wonder win! His reads were correct. In a years time, LP is going to be gloating so hard. |
With the timing of that message, I'd put the odds of them having tried for Stonehenge at about 95%. I actually kind of hope we beat them to it by just a turn or two - that would serve them right for being so sneaky in their diplomacy. :neenernee
