Feels pretty quiet around here... :zzz:
We're in the slowest portion of the game right now, after the initial discussions of how to play the starting position but before the action picks up with the other teams. So far, the biggest action in my territory has been mining an iron tile, and beginning a farm on a wheat tile. Can you feel the excitement?! Seriously though, we'll be on to more interesting stuff in about a week or so. At least I saved a turn of worker labor by having a Fast Worker move straight from the iron to the wheat without missing a turn!
We've found that there is a land connection between Speaker's territory and mine, thank goodness. For a while there it didn't look like there would be a passage through. Very, very rocky terrain with a fair amount of lakes too. There's still plenty of room for good cities though, and it will just be a question of how fast we can expand to get them (while staying safe from attack).
Due to the strange way that Sequential turns works, when sunrise ended his turn, we all went through our growth/production cycle and his capital grew to size 2. That's why his score is 292 in the picture above. On CivStats, scooter/dazedroyalty of Team 3 did the same thing, so we are probably mirroring the same movements thus far. (Chop work boat and connect it on the fish at the lakes starting position.) For whatever reason, Princess Luna of Team 4 still has not settled their second city yet. Searching for the perfect spot (?)
In the downtime that we have, I'll talk about my second city, named Ma Bear Tibbers. This is a reference to another League of Legends character named Annie, a little girl who summons a giant teddy bear named Tibbers with her ultimate. Here's an early video explaining about how to play Annie, and here's a game from my Livestream last night with a faceroll stomp playing the same character.
