Not yet any deal suggestion from TEAM. I'll play in the evening so they still have time, but I suspect they won't offer anything substantial so we almost certainly continue our military ways. This means chopping the forest towards axe in new city (+another forest turn after) and moving our other Axe towards new city + killing the warrior with Axe. We'll also finish Spear in Bloody Mary that should start traveling towards our new city.

If we're willing to spend worker turns roading for the spear, the following micro both gets the axe chopped and the roads roaded:

T49. Axe kills enemy warrior, moving NE. Settler moves NE-NE and settles. Two workers move through the city and chop the forest NW of the city. One worker chops the forest SW of the city. One worker starts roading the sheep.




T50. Spear moves on the sheep road E-NE. Finish chopping both forests.




T51. Two workers road the corn, two workers road under the spear. The spear keeps moving, on the road. Three axes converge on Losing.




Another option is to just skip the roads and send the spear SE-SE, since it may need to deal with their warrior down there.

EDIT: I also suggested a new name for our third city.

Nice work Zakalwe. Timing both chops finishing same time is good idea and road above sheep near Bloody Mary will be useful now or later so we might as well do it. We can keep pigs mined for now and possibly whip a worker out after growing size 3 to finally pasture pigs.

Lol, I like

(and I'm hoping the old smileys really do come back some time ).

I approve.

There was surprise waiting i.e. another Archer. That is ok though. Better here than accumulating fortification bonuses inside city.

Yeah, we knew the other archer had to be around, so I guess that is good news. Any sign of their warrior in the south?

[plako]

Warrior not visible to us.

Well, we seem to've made them think ... hopefully that's a good sign

[plako]

So it seems we continue as planned. Axe E, chop another Axe and move 3rd inside the Bitter. Unless they manage to get something else in the city we've a pretty decent shot at razing it. Of course them chopping Archer is a very potential alternative so we might not get that chance.

Horses are not pastured yet.

When you play T50 can you get me screenshots of the insides of all our cities, the graphs and some overview shots of the land we've explored. Thanks
