[SPOILERS] Jkaen is Peter of Inca

Turn 60 played - and save sent to Kuro.

Still didn't name the new founded city. Aslo not revolted yet to Buddism - as long as Ivory was connected we have a good happy-limit anyway ...

[Ioan76]

T 61 played.

[Jkaen]

Ok, for all the lurkers I logged into the same and took a bunch of screenshots from the start of turn 61.

This is the progress our scouting WB has made along the south coast:


And here is the view of our island, complete with zoomed in views of our 3 cities:





The scout as mentioned has now made landfall:


This is our current tech tree:


These are the demographics start of turn:


And this is the espionage screen:

[Ioan76]

Thanks for pictures JKaen - and sorry that I played too much moves from last ones ...

As a general ideea - I'd prefer to have the capital spitting out 3-4 workers and 2 settlers for main continent/island ( once the scout will provide enough information about the terrain there ).
I'd suggest that our secondary city to build a library ( put it in queue already ) using some chops/a whip and hire 2 scientist there in order to benefit from our leader's trait.

As long as for our third city ... cottaging all around seems to be the best policy - no ?

[Jkaen]

Ok, general thoughts:

Switch all espionage onto Kuro
Scout moves north to check out food rich area
Next settler goes mainland, probably to food spot, turn into GP city
Capital workers and settlers is fine
Library in 2nd city is ok, but suggest long term its our ship building city.
Yes to cottaging all lowlands
Why are we researching AH, we dont have any animals to link up. Monothism and switching to OR seems like a stronger choice.
Switching religion gets us to spread it and save on the cost of monuments as well as getting happy

[Ioan76]

Why are we researching AH, we dont have any animals to link up.

Ummm ... did I mention already the small dwarf on my brain ?
I used to research AH ... because it seems to be as a very basic tech to have. And what if some horses will be spotted somewhere ?

Monothism and switching to OR seems like a stronger choice.
Switching religion gets us to spread it and save on the cost of monuments as well as getting happy

Right - proceed this way then.

Library in 2nd city is ok, but suggest long term its our ship building city.

I estimate that our first GS will be born there so ...

[Jkaen]

Thats fine, long term the city with at least 4 food will probably be better pumping out the great people, but have no problem making one in city 2 short term. Just thinking long term we need a coastal city with a reasonable number of hills to churn out our navy, and that one with 5 hills and an ivory seems a good bet.

[Jkaen]

Kuro has offered a 21 turn NAP.

He did add a clause limiting EP spending, but I struck that off.

Any objections to agreeing, I have no intention to go to war that early and would prefer to stay in farmers gambit for now.

plus he claims in the tech thread this turn took a while for some reason, hence maybe for example he can sink our exploring WB?

It will be a fisherman gamit actually ...

Anyway - more and more I'm thinking that Mathematics should represent our next research ... what do you think ?

[Jkaen]

Why maths?
