Yes, NE-NE looks natural which is why I felt the need to suggest SE instead. I don't want to have to come back later just to defog a couple of tiles.

space, at what point in pbem17 had novice figured out how to land both the mids and tgl?

Er, TGL was as soon he saw a second city site on the coast surrounded by forests. That was pretty early. Maybe T5 or something?

Pyramids was a bit later on, after factoring in quarrying of the stone and spotting the third site with lots more forests. I'd have to check the thread for that one...

TGL was on T0, I think.

On topic, our scout can take some extra time exploring the coastline to our southeast and east, or he can hightail it north through our capital and scout out contested areas more quickly. What do people think?

It is just ~1 tile further compared to fastest moves, if we take a short peek via following moves:
1: 7-9
2: 8-9
4: 8-4

Yeah, I guess 7-9 is our next move either way.

I think it's probably better to check it is a dead end before we head off to more interesting uncharted territory

Hey plako you want to keep playing or want me to take back over? I'll be in Chicago all next week and won't be able to play then.

Darrell

[plako]

I'm ok either way.

[darrelljs]

Okay let's have you continue at least until I get back from Chicago.

Thanks,
Darrell
