[Spoilers] Finding OH: wetbandit and ipecac encounter some sharks

[wetbandit]

We found a resource, but...




Don't think this changes anything. Settings look ok too.

[ipecac]

Yeah, SIP it is.

[ipecac]

Yellow's a good colour. And we're off!




Fog gazing reveals land down south. Could be a a narrow land bridge or an island

[Fenn]

Where are you planning to send the Scout? WNW and circle clockwise?

[wetbandit]

We were just discussing NW-NW and probably circling back. We need to make a micro decision after t11, but the map doesn't look like we can easily split off food from the capital. Nor is it clear that we should do that since we have a happy cap of 6. Pottery comes so late here...

edit: or a higher happy cap with palace and prince difficulty. Ignore statements except for scouting because they were made pre-caffiene.

[ipecac]

What bandit said. Sheep can only be split off to 3 possible sites and there isn't that much benefit for a second city to split cows so we might not share any food from the capital at all.

T1




nothing too notable with demos, elkad still wandering about.




Silk is thematic with China. Unfortunately not an optimal scout move next turn. S-SW or keep going north? I think s-sw to see what's on that river.

[Old Harry]

S-SW sounds good. Are you bothering with C&D?

[wetbandit]

S-SW sounds good. Are you bothering with C&D?

I'm going to SS the demos each turn, but I don't know how in depth we will do C&D. Probably not much. I am also tardy setting up the spreadsheet for the micro plan.

[Fenn]

Lots of lakes on this map - even one 2W of the Scout. Shame that the big one to the north is salty too, but at least you'll be able to lighthouse two of 'em in time.
