[PB27-SPOILERS] Yup, it's HAK here...no idea what I might do this time...

Oh, and as you can see from what I talked about above....I'm going to be doing a bit of a Fisherman's Gambit. Can't call it a Farmer's Gambit, since I won't be farming or even pasturing those pigs until after T40. Yep, call me crazy....but I'm leaving those Pigs alone for way longer than any other person logically would.

I'll finally grab Hunting after Pottery is done, and at that time a worker will pasture those stinky Pigs.  In the meantime, we'll be chowing down on Fish.
For the moment, I'm #1 in GNP and Food:
And this sure is turning out to be one weird map layout.... Tsargon has only been putting 2EPs into me per turn, so that means he has met someone else and is splitting them.
So just posting some scout movement for this turn:
 This scout was originally going to move onto that hill, but the Lion moved there when the turn rolled. So I moved into the forest. Hopefully the lion attacks me and dies. Next turn he would end up moving 2S to defog that area NE of Corison.  The other scout has been clearing the fog between me and Tsargon. This one is trickier to decide for next turn. Do I quickly clear the area to the SE to see if there are any other resources that might affect the C2 spot? Or do I keep exploring west to see if I can find more huts further away from me. If there are any huts in that small bit of fog there, I'd likely get it when I go settle my city, since I haven't seen any other scouts in this area that could steal anything in there. I'm currently leaning towards moving SE next turn, and maybe SE again after that. And then backtracking to continue exploring to the west. So basically, it'd take 4 turns to explore that area before I can start uncovering new stuff to the west.
Some people just get all the luck....
Serdoa & NylesStandish have each gotten 2 Techs from huts Tsargon & TheWannabe are the only other ones to have gotten 1 Tech from huts. I do really like my 2nd Scout...but I haven't found a single other hut since then.  And I think the time for finding huts is rapidly running out as people's scouts cover the various areas. With my plan of having to skip some of these first tier techs until later, getting one of them from a hut would really help.

So I met TheWannabe this past turn, with his scout to my NE.
 Actually, I think he met me just before the turn roll. Because he already has 4EPs into me, with mine automatically splitting 2/2 between Tsargon & him before I had the chance to think about changing it. I'm going to keep it split for now, until I get graphs on Tsargon, I think. Nothing else major to report in the exploring realm of things. Other than the fact that the lion did attack my scout, who survived without taking a single hit. Sad part is that this scout now is unlikely to find any huts at all, since he's basically headed exactly to the areas that Wannabe already came from. But I'm thinking I may want to go that way anyway, so that I know where his borders are. Only other option is to take this scout and send it quickly back to the NW (across land I've already uncovered) to have it explore north of Tsargon while the other scout keeps going west. But nah, I definitely want to uncover the rest of the fog NE of my capital. Especially because of this:  I Haz Stone nearby....gonna wanna get a city there. So need to find out what else is around it.
Finally uncovered the bulk of the land right around my capital, and I'm kinda liking it. Set up a possible proposed city location dotmap.
 The area directly south of me no one can get to run now, so I'm in no rush to settle that area. So north and east are my first priority. Plus that's where we have 3 Gold resources, Stone, & Marble. When I saw that Stone site, I was tempted to make it my new 2nd city. But the one I originally chose is still best, because I'll be able to instantly start the Rice farm...possibly even before the city is there, which will allow that city to grow nice and fast. Plus having the floodplains for that city will also help. With that proposed triangle of cities around that massive floodplain area, I'm thinking that the one 1S of that northern gold would be a good farmed FP tile. It'll be the tile for quick growth, able to be shared by all 3 cities. But that's a decision for quite a ways from now. The warrior may start making his way home (or sit there healing for the next 5 turns, since the Bear did bring him down to half health earlier). And original scout will probably go SE-NE next turn, with the other scout making his way back to the western fog. (September 4th, 2015, 07:40)HitAnyKey Wrote: GJ, just checking. The new WB you had made for me. Was that made in the exact size of the actual game, or simply made larger than the 15x15 but not the full 100x80? the one I made for you I think was just bigger, something like 40x40. The real map size was 100x80. Do you want one of that size? |
