[Spoilers] The Golem Factory: Beeri Bawl of the Luchuirp

[Sciz]

Each food lost is 3 commerce gained because of financial

[Sciz]

ugh, the sons with the pieces handed them over to the wolf accompanying it, which has two moves and... yeah.

pics later maybe i dont feel like it now

I'm setting the yggdrasil spot next turn. won't have great production but it's on a hill for good defense and has marble for faster production of gargoyles later and yggdrasil of course

Hey Sciz, thought it would be better to respond here than derail Mr. Yellow's thread. I didn't even know anyone else was reading it! Which is a shame, because I've found it pretty enjoyable.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If it's about Ilios city sites I wasn't going to attack him out of spite, I was going to attack him because I had no good city spots after Ilios had taken the two best ones. And if it's about Mist I just didn't think it would be beneficial to me to give him lots of gold for nothing, and even though I would obviously be worse off getting attacked by Mist I didn't think he'd actually attack me, as it wouldn't benefit him much either.

I was talking about Mist. Your response does make sense though, given that you thought he wouldn't actually attack you.

Anyways, I probably shouldn't say too much more since I am spoiled for this game. Good luck with this game! Hill defense, marble, Yggdrasil sounds like a pretty good city site.

[Sciz]

Yeah I thought he was bluffing and that he would cave in and attack Ilios together with me for much less of a payment, because honestly it didn't seem that Mist would profit much from the war with me, and right now it doesnt seem that he has. Not yet anyways

[Sciz]

Founded the Yggdrasil city, Tia'ran.



Yggdrasil will probably stay on 4f/2h since it's the nature techs that make it better I think, which aren't any techs I will pursue any time soon. Still it's a good tile and it gives me 1 happy 2 health for every city, which is sweet. I've also traded cotton to Ilios for wine as you can see in the top right corner.

Here's the barnaxus chase:



All I can hope is that the wolf gets killed by a barb or it will be gone for like forever. Stupid 2 moves. I've got two warriors following it. I dialed Ilios and asked if he could stop it somehow, as it's heading towards him now.

The third warrior is staying near the sons of asena, and i'm moving down a C1 S1 warrior from between the eastern cottons and a regular warrior down from Cotton Valley to kill the sons of asena. I don't want it to heal up and continue harassing me down south. I'm well protected up north to spare these units for now, but i'll want to move them back asap later.

[Sciz]

Oh and yeah I have to run 0% science again for a while after founding the city, because i'm going -2 gpt at 100% gold. But when CV grows into its cotton plantations it'll be okay again, and then i'll get festivals, get markets up, and slowly recover my economy.

[Sciz]

The wolf has disappeared somewhere to the southeast, but my two brave warriors follow:



That barb city also looks like a great spot to have later if Ilios doesn't take it first. dyes, sugar, marble, standing stones.

Here are the southern lands:



And the northern:



I lost a warrior to the doviello lizardman because I was careless. Oh well.

[Sciz]

War between Ilios and Serdoa now

Wolf is gone, but the only way he could've gone is the SE, as there are mountains or Ilios to the east, I go southeast and see Lanun borders, no contact yet though. Probably next turn. A new mud golem has been created in Mutanbo, and work starts on another Mud Golem.

[Selrahc]

Any update on the hammers plan? If you're not getting any takers it's probably best just to trigger the spell soon.

[Sciz]

Uberfish said he'd get back to me. Haven't mentioned it to Ilios who would be the only other possible one, but first of all he's already very dominant and I wouldn't want to increase his position even more, and second of all he just got in a war with Serdoa. I'll probably hear with Uberfish again soon and if he doesn't say yes I'll just fire it now, as I have 4 cities now.
