[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

[antisocialmunky]

I like #1 as well since that extra worker will be handy for chopping.

The Great Wall of Indefensible Lavender can wait a few more turns.

Happy to answer any questions you have, or provide additional info. Not sure what you want to know, exactly though -- and no, i don't have a sandbox, sorry

[Krill]

I would like to know how much Xanax you guys have been taking since finding out Commodore is your neighbour.

[pindicator]

Bottles of the stuff. And part of me still wants to quit just to protest the fact

Turn 056

We have some neighboring scouts around. Azza is in the southeast and Nakor/Jester in the northwest.



Scooter needs to rename the axe, but my intention is to move the axe west to scope out more of the area before the settler comes. We need to have the axe near the city site by turn 60 - that's the turn a worker will move north from the stone to the grass hill - and then the city gets settled on turn 63.

What our cities will be doing:

Trailblazers
Whip the granary finished next turn (57). Chop also comes in to give us 33 overflow, all to get a 1-turn lighthouse on turn 58. Galley for 1 turn on t59 to grow back to size 4 and then it's either a worker or a settler, depending on which plan we go with (more on this later)

Red Wings
We'll 2-pop whip the settler on turn 60. The overflow along with a chop finishing on turn 61 will let us get a 2-turn granary done. Then we'll follow up with a worker, because the city will be stuck at happy cap and we need more workers. It finishes eot 67.

Orioles
A pair of chops will get the granary done on turn 58. Then we'll build an axe or spear (likely an axe), to cover the gems city. Then a barracks -- this will be our military pump for the early game, and the barracks will help us get some sight in the area.

Turn 057

Hooray for whip/chops.



Also note Sailing at the top. Also note that we are organized. 1T Lighthouse from the overflow coming right up! Here's the west where we will be settling next:



Things are humming along pretty nicely all things considered. I would actually be very happy about our position if it wasn't for our northerly neighbor. Considering the fact that the land between us is basically crap and he's not building military... my current state is best described as "cautiously optimistic."

[pindicator]

Hurrah for 1-turn lighthouses!

Also, because I've been tinkering with worker turns, here's what we should do next turn (for whichever of us plays):

Clyde Drexler
Move East, road the grassland. Yep! That's right; we are not roading the stone. Just isn't time for it Edit: and to emphasize, roading the tile East of the Stone is important to transition a second worker to the next city

Terry Porter
Finishes his chop

Geoff Petrie
SW-SW, builds a cottage

Steve Yzerman
SE-NE, finishes chopping that tree into Orioles.

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Any thoughts on the map thus far, other than wanting to stick it in Brick's eye for your randomly* assigned neighbors?

Also, what are you thinking of naming city #5? Because I was thinking that something to commemorate a devoted (awesome, hilarious, etc) lurker while simultaneously sticking it in the eye of a certain humorless mapmaker would be just the thing.



*Of course, we all believe Brick. I just want to stick it in his eye from time to time because...well, just because.

[NobleHelium]

I have to say that I'm in favor of sticking it to Brick given our neighbors.

[pindicator]

Noble's up next to pick a name (for city #4), so if he wants to give naming rights to Boldly...
