RB Pitboss #1 Spoiler -- Zara of the Holy Roman Empire

[LiPing]

Chop is 20 hammers without math, if the forest is in the cross of the city.

Tundra is opening up to the sw of my capital. May find others over there. Dreylin is probably about 15 turns behind my scouting warrior unless he decides to turn around.

Had forest growth at capital

Northern Warrior killed the lion that killed my scout. Bear did not attack and moved away.

One thing I dont like about the pit boss dont get to see barb movements. Never saw Dreylins scount if he hadnt sent me a message I would never have known

Also dont get to see events like the forest growth. Will have to go look at an old picture of the capital to figure out which square grew.

BW in 11 then priesthood in 6. Hope to shave that down once worker is out and I grow.

Would a monestary be helpful? On have about 12 bpt right now but every little bit helps. May build one if I have time before oracle is available. Need to build some warriors and a settler and maybe another worker first.

Monastery - Using 60 Hammers to build something that will give you +1 beaker a turn is probably a pretty bad investment at this point.

[Broker33]

AH in 10

Worker in 3

Not top in GNP anymore.

Meet Ruff but I dont know where. Guessing out of the tundra but not sure.

Sent him the following message.

I just noticed we have met although I dont know where. Did you run accross one of my scouts? I didnt see you but I sent you an in game message.

Well met!!

Have you met any others out there. Seems a big world with lots of beasts trying to eat scouts.

[Broker33]

Well my plan is to beeline the Oracle now as I think if I wait any longer I will lose itl. I am not good a mm to get max hammers so I have to start first.

Thoughs are Worker in 2

Improve pigs then phants/ then start prechopping

2 warriors 3 if time and a settler

Research Bw in 9 priesthood in 7 Writing in 13 at current rate but I will grow so hope to speed that up alittle.

Question

I have a grandbaby due the beginning of August and have to be away for a few days - week at most.

I would like if someone could do my turns, just one a day so that my units dont stand around.


I can set research and builds and give instructions for workers and scouting directions. Dont need input so you dont need to worry about spoiler info. I am sure there isnt anyone out there that has been just watching my thread.

Sent this message to Dreylin

Hey was wondering if you were going to go for alphabet? Not planing on going that high yet still hammering out worker techs but would hate to duplicate efforts.

Hopefully I am not looking overly friendly.

Just basically fishing. Dont want to get left out of tech trades. Also dont want to look like I know what I am doing or that I have any type of plan. Not that I know what I am doing but I do have a plan.

Would like to direct him towards sunrise he is by far the most dangerous.

Didnt mention that I met Ruff but if his scout is behind me he will eventually.

Ruff hasnt answered yet he is accross the water I think. I am guessing he spoted my tundra scout. Although I misclicked and he moved the wrong way wasted two turns. Oh well.

I have yet to spot sombody myself they are always gone when I log in. Frustrating as I would like to know which way they are moving.

I dont know which way the bear moved either by my northern warrior. He is going to head past horse city and around probably by ruff also.

Starting to think the tundra may be a land bridge. Have to eventually send sombody east.

[Broker33]

I know when I lurk the PBEM I like screenshots so here is my known world.

I think I have done a decent job scouting.

SW corner is my Warrior that I beilve met Ruff he is going to head north

Up by city 3 is my northern warrior. There is a bear I think on the other side of the lake. He will head nw and arond to the other land mass and scout the north out.

Scout is east and will hug the water and head north to find League of Lin's capital

These forums need a spell checker I know my spelling is horrible

Anyway I marked some city cites. Sorry about not having the crosses but this is my peliminary thoughts and the order to settle.

Looking at the map I need to come up with an eastern city or 2 to that group to make it more defensable.

Anyway questions and comments are desired. Also any comments on my oracle run would be appriciated. Although no spoilers please.

[Broker33]

I am sure that the others C&D groups are much better but I saw that Shadyforce must have whipped something.

Ruff hasnt answered.

The whip was what prompted me to go directly to Oracle

That will slow down my growth but if I get it I should be able to Rex.

Build city/chop grainery and courthouse. Lots o cities quick with little maintainance problem

Will go for sheep wheat city first since I can imporve the sheep right away.

Of course copper could change that. If I have copper close I will settle that site first, then wheel right after writing and hook it up so I can build spearman to protect from Barbs. Should be alot of them with all the open land.

Otherwise I may have to snag archery. Should be around turn 56 to get oracle that should be early enough but then I need to focus on growth.

Recieved this from League of lin

Hi Paul,

We are certainly considering that direction, but no decision yet as
it's still early, and just like you we are on worker techs right now.
However, alphabet is an option we are considering quite seriously.
What would you have in mind for an exchange? We are definitely looking
for cooperation in the future.

Also, we have found the borders of your capital, and we were wondering
if you could share some map info so that we don't go in the same
direction. We are currently due E of your capital. Did you explore
further W? How about S?

Thanks,
Kalin of the League

Fishing for map info.
