RB PB7[Spoilers] - Team Bean

[Meiz]

AH is finally researched and I do like the sight . And finally my worker begins to pasture the pigs! Reveal of horses also decides the spot for my second city.



I don't even need a monument here for a while, since capital will pop borders soon. Research is set to fishing and my fresh city's first task will be to build two work boats, one for itself and one for capital.

Note the clever axeman hiding behind the signpost . Yuris will never see him coming!

Regarding long term plans, well... I don't really have anything decided yet. I'd love to build the pyramids and colossus to fuel a specialist economy. I could beeline to metal casting -> build a forge to get a quick engineer out -> finish pyramids. I have no idea if I'm already too late with this plan or not, have to think about it...

Then again, I could just rush someone (Yuris) with axes and chariots . I will get to see his demographics next turn, which will decide a lot.

Some drama has started to emerge

Yuris spotted my axe, but for some reason did not back down. I was sure of some sort of trap, but then again his power graphs don't indicate that he would had much of a military. The battle is easily won and no chariots are in sight, at least so far.



My settler will be finished in about 3 turns (it's a guess, I didn't bother to calculate how pastured pigs affect the build time).

I guess it would be too much to hope that the lion in the picture below would have someone's settler in his stomach?

[Meiz]

Pasture did not decrease the build time for settler, so I decided to whip it for 1 turn. Therefore my second city is nicely timed with the discovery of fishing.

[Meiz]

Blue bean is finally founded. Blue as in it has a lot of water... ehrm.. yeah.



Where are my food resources?

[Rowain]

Where are my food resources?

Eat the Horses.

[Meiz]

Eat the Horses.

We tried but they taste like hammers

[Rowain]

We tried but they taste like hammers

Ouh then you should not eat the horseshoes

[Meiz]

Ouh then you should not eat the horseshoes

Graa! Too difficult! We just go smash someone who has more food!

[Meiz]

Where are my food resources?

Ah, here it is



Still the lands look pretty barren, so I will put my best efforts on getting the gold / wheat spot up north. My capital is currently building another spear, which will be finished in 5 turns, just as I'll grow to size 4. I will most likely start my second settler at that point.

[Meiz]

Yuris has at least one copper for the taking. He's well aware of my warrior, so I'm wondering at what point there is a welcome party waiting for me behind the fog



Stinky bean popped borders and gave me nice visibility of the surroundings. I've got higher power rating than Yuris and slowcheetah, so my fears of early rush were way off

My exploring warrior is standing on the gold tile. Lots of barbarian activity, so I'll be sending the axe (guarding copper) towards the next city spot while the fresh spear will take the guarding duty.



Just invented the wheel and my worker started to pasture the horses. Chariots will be handy Research is set for mysticm, since monument is the first thing my new city will need. My GNP is not that great, so I will start to head towards granaries and libraries next.
