[spoiler] 2metraninja and ot4e make waves

[OT4E]

Thank you, the new one worked.

[OT4E]

We pick Julius.

Blind city placement looks pretty clear. If we move capitol 1 tile down we lose cow but get better position for MOAI (8 coast tiles against 5). Anyway the scout move will show more details for or against this idea.

[OT4E]

I grabbed our civ and moved scout.
So there is one more fish but it hardly can change anything because it is in the ocean and cannot be used without culture. We definitely are not going to move our cap there.

Let's rock lol

Thanks for grabbing the game and making the planned scout move. Fish indeed does not change much, but it revealed that the idea for settling on the brown hill is not viable, because down south there is more land and the WB cannot get to the fish in time.

So now it is do we SiP or we move on the grass.

I tried to compare 2 possible scenarios of expansion:
1. classical (through Animal Husbandry)
2. original (without AH through early Bronse Working)

I havent optimised yet, but it seems that classical way provides better result:

[OT4E]

Played a turn.
We revealed a coast or island in front of us.

[2metraninja]

I have told you - lush lush lands full of resources.

[OT4E]

Not bad at all. Seems that we need agriculture soon, but not before animals unfortunatwly.

[2metraninja]

So, here are few screens as I promised.

First is our juicy South with all its resources and initial scheme for planting cities there.


As you can also see, we are confidently leading in score.

Here is our lovely capitol:



and what is going on inside of our lovely capitol:
