I'm bloodthirsty enough to want to whip an axe & swat at least one of those warriors, just to make a point

But anyway I guess the actual choice is between whipping it this turn, and whipping it later for more overflow? Coz if we move the warriors like you suggest, then I'd assume next turn they move onto the pigs & then we have to whip the axe to stop them walking into Cap. Alternatively we put Blender on the pigs, then in two turns they're on the corn and we care more about that than the pigs.

(Edit: Crosspost with novice)

Where should we settle?

Can we nab TEAM's gold somehow?

I'd like to make far reaching city near Marble. However positioning of horses makes a big difference how viable this is.

Concerning short term micro. This is my idea of short term plan:
* Fast workers put 2 chops on forest N from 2nd city and then chop the forest 1E of it finishing worker. It is good idea to spare the forest N from city since chopping it fully won't speed up Fast worker
* Capital - Whip Axe from capital and grow to size 2 as Novice suggested. We could delay whipping for more overflow, but then our pigs will probably get pillaged in exchange of their warrior

Your short term plan sounds good, after that it's time to pasture the sheep I assume. Although the optimal chopping scheme depends on where we're moving our settler and therefore workers next.

Next turn. Northern warrior above sheep, southern NW-NW and axe above Corn. Workers move E and chop. So we've 2 forests prechopped and usable for worker or alternatively for Axe. Opinions?

[novice]

Agreed.

Should Caipirinha put hammers into a warrior or an axe while regrowing?

I think we should finish the first chop (into a worker), then head NE for the second chop. That way, if they kill our warrior on the sheep, we'll be able to chop out a warrior without risking our workers.

Good suggestion.
Although if they kill our warrior on the sheep we'll presumably be able to kill it off with our second warrior.

Oops, I forgot our other warrior will be in range. But I guess it doesn't hurt to be excessively paranoid.
