[SPOILERS] Parkin brings the rain down in Africa: Churchill of Zulu

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 9

Looks like another decent city site further south, with both Sheep and Pigs.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 10

Our Worker is out; time for a Warrior. Also, AH done and Mining started. Horses to the north!

Ivory and Dyes to the south, interesting.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 11

Hmm, a mixture of freshwater and saltwater lakes surrounding the Ivory. Several possible ways of settling it... on top would be quite good, but wouldn't allow a Lighthouse. Other locations could share tiles with the Marble city but would have a weaker hold on the Ivory (requiring a border expansion). Guess we'll see what else is nearby.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 12

No new resources.

Pigs at the capital will be improved next turn.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 13

Finished improving the Pigs. Cows are next. (Oh, and there's a workshop in a forest near our capital.)

Nothing else interesting down south. Might swing the Scout back around soon to explore other areas nearer our capital.

HAK's at size 3 while everyone else is at size 1. I mean, I guess a Worker wouldn't have had anything to do so far since he started with Fishing/Mysticism and went Meditation first. But I somehow feel that this can't possibly have been the optimal move for him to make. Especially as a Productive leader! (Not to mention the new Financial won't help at all if he's got seafood.)

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 14

Discovered a fish to the southwest.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 15

Another Clam down south.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 16

We're the first nation in the game to have grown to size 2 with a completed Worker (HAK didn't build a Worker). Not too surprising given our Productive trait I guess, though I'm slightly surprised that the other Productive leaders didn't grow at the same time. Well... I guess one is HAK who went the Meditation route, and one is Kuro who will have slightly more expensive Fast Workers. But I'm still surprised Mackoti hasn't grown yet.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 17

Cow pasture at the capital will be finished next turn. Scout is doubling back to explore potential city sites closer to the capital.

Kuro and Gawdzak grew to size 2.

[Lord Parkin]

Turn 18

We now have a pasture for our Cow. Next up, a mine for the hill (prebuilding a farm on the way there). Spotted a Lion nearby.

Finished our first Warrior. Any suggestions for unit names? Will send him to reveal a couple of tiles immediately around our capital.

Also encountered a Lion down south. Exploring east now.
