Of course, ketchup is Heinz too, I had a feeling I was saying something foolish there

(Sorry for hijacking your thread with food related spam!)

[novice]

Well, spam is food-related.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Well, spam is food-related.

Only quasi-related. Also, <groan>.

I logged in made most of the moves since we've already decided most of them. The whip in Atlantis drops the tech to 4t at 100%. We're right on the cusp. With 2 more commerce its 3t at 100%.

The biggest news is that we won against the barb flawlessly, but I think we pissed them off because:



They just keep coming...

This means we can't attack out with the chariot at the first one because if the chariot gets too injury the trailing barb could kill it.

[Gaspar]

Finished turn. Eff the barbs.

Hey, at least your barbarians only have one move and don't use spears

There's a cross-cultural difference I didn't expect I am vaguely aware that UK baked beans aren't really the same as US baked beans (tho I couldn't tell you how I've just been so informed by ex-pat Americans) but I didn't realise Heinz didn't make them In the UK Heinz and baked beans are pretty much synonymous ... their advertising slogan for a long time was "Heinz Meanz Beanz" (maybe still is, I just can't remember seeing an ad recently). I'm not sure I've ever bought tins of baked beans made by anyone else. I don't think I've ever bought anything else Heinz branded either (tho given one of their other slogans mentions "57 Varieties" there must be something else).

Also novice, you are on quite a roll with the puns lately .

It actually brings me great joy somehow that my thread has devolved into a discussion of condiments.

Okay so I played t68 and then the turn was rolling so ended turn and then checked out t69. So here are pictures from that.

First off another barb appeared over by Ys. But we had a new chariot in Cock. So I moved it over there. I also killed the one barb with our sentry chariot. When t69 rolled barbs suicided and I wrapped up with another chariot. We are barb free!!



There was much rejoicing.



Next turn we can move the settler to its spot. The two workers just finished a cottage and can road next turn. Then the city settles and the workers take the road all the way to the gems, no wasted turns.



The worker is roading towards the gold. The chariot has a promo heal and can explore more for us next turn. Atlantis has two fish. Do we want to settle the 2nd gold so that it can steal 1 fish? I have a tentative no.



Our sentry chariot takes 3t to heal, or we could go exploring. The other chariot by Ys could heal or go exploring. El Dorado finished its granary and is working on its lib. Then with two mines can just pump units. Cock is building a settler, I think for 2nd gold, takes 3t to get there. Then cock builds another 5t settler for NE. Then cock builds another 5t settler for Moai or N food sharer, or South Cap cows sharer? Options.

Shouldn't you cancel the road, build a cottage on the flood plains, then finish the road?
