Intresting response from Nakor. Apparently Barbarians (Team Locke) are not that nice neighbours.
Quote:Thanks, Plako! Scouting did go well this game.
I think Rego/Sunrise are in a difficult map position, maybe due to the map maker.
I'l have to take a closer look at the map before discussing settling on our site of the border. I'm sure there is enough room for you to settle north on your landbridge.
We'd be very happy to sign a longer NAP. especially since our other neighbour seems a bit aggressive...
Talk to you soon!

Put our diplo here if all possible, we are getting into that state of the game where we have to make friends and dogpile someone else.

I'll do that. Diplowise I think we want to keep our other flank secured and I doubt we'll be friends with WK so it is better to have befriend with Nakor. Another question is should we start to warm up our relationship with Adlain that is east from WK. It might be that there aren't direct land route there though.

Well Adlain would be nice to have on our side. However, I have a feeling we would have to convince him a fair amount.
He can't really attack WarriorKnight effectively due to the choke. He can at best lock WarriorKnight out of almost everywhere beyond the choke which he'll probably do anyway like us and Nakor with a fair split. So I don't think killing WarriorKnight would be all that interesting to him.
If I were in his shoes, I might try to provide minimal help to WarriorKnight in a future war against us. Adlain's too far away from us and geographically defended for us to effectively retaliate until later and we are going to be quite powerful if no one harasses us. Him and WarriorKnight seem like they could be good friends.

A bit more comprehensive set of pictures this time. Especially there is rare views of our scouting efforts:

Wow, we have lots of mfg. That and all the high ranks on everything, #1 dogpile target indeed...
So, where do you want to settle? I think left of N sheep is good. Silver is feasible too.
Also, when does our NAP with WarriorKnight run out? I hope those trees by Tyvm will be gone by then or atleast pre-chopped. Also, are you still thinking about mids?

yes. The site claiming crabs and sheep should be next. Silver and horses would be nice to hook up, but all the cities in the south are pretty weak compared to alternatives in the north.
I also think I'll start cottaging that city also and skip the idea of Representation at this point. 550 hammers is just ridiculous price even with these great production power houses. If we get to to both Maths+OR and there is still chance I might take a shot, but I think we need to research Monarchy soonish because of our relatively low happy cap with the visible resources.
NAP is until T110 so long time to chop and I've started already there. 1st one is ready next turn and I think I use it to finish Granary so that we're prepared to 2 pop whip worker and put overflow on library a bit later.

Did you want to aim for any of the top of tree wonders? Great Lib? I'm wanting to try for Zeus when we have the chance.
Does anyone around us have a religion? If not, what do you think about MC? We won't get the colossus but the forges should really be nice for the from gold and silver.

MC would be nice yes and if we would really rush it next we might surprise luddite with it, but I think there are higher priorities. I think we probably should try to land a religion after Writing. Either Judaism or Confu. If we go towards CoL I think we would have better shot, but Monotheism and its prerequisites would be more useful at this point. However risk of losing Judaism is higher.
If I can find Ivory, then statue would make sense. Otherwise I think it is too expensive with then need to build monuments also.

We may not be able to get either. Someone might just bulb CoL. I mean, we don't have any of the religion techs researched do we?
