[Spoiler] Team slowwalk of the Reservoir Cats (Suleiman/Korea, slowcheetah + Catwalk)

[Catwalk]

slowcheetah, are you around for a quick chat? I suggest sticking with the planned expansion and focusing a bit more on farming both the FP. Gets us Oracle t33, Forge t36 and decent city development. It's not optimal, but my motivation for perfect micro is a lot lower now that it's only a matter of optimal growth rather than winning the wonder race. I'm a lazy cat

That said, if you have something good I'm all ears.

[Catwalk]

I decided to forward it as xenu will be available tonight, so the game won't stall more than needed. I ordered our new worker to start farming a FP. Site decision is still subject to change. I got nice sandbox results with Oracle in the capital, although it did require chopping off the remaining forests to get it done in a timely manner (t33).

[slowcheetah]

I got it turn 34 in capital, without chopping, but that involved mining rather than farming. It doesn't matter too much anyway. I stil think expnasion oracle is the way to go for border pops, and I still like the expansion site. I kind of see it as a disposable bag of hammers which we can use for rushing something (in this case oracle), before we have the technology (or in the FP wonderlands case, worker turns) to work it properly.

Got it turn 33 in the capital with only one chop (the environmentalists must love me, I'm always trying to save the trees). However, I'm not going to post the micro yet, because im not sure which FP you were farming? If it's the SW one then great, if it's the west one there may be some work to do.

[slowcheetah]

I dont think Catwalk has mentioned this (forgive me if you have). But we got circumnavigation a few turns ago.

We may have lost Buddhism, but at least we have this guy on our side:

It's the western one

Turn 21

Our settler completes next turn, he will found on turn 23 at the ivory site.

In foreign news, cities screen shows that Kuro has founded a second city.
Spacetyrantxenu has a size 4 capital and a power rating of 240000 soldiers. I believe he's rival best, Kuro has yet to grow and would have if he'd produced any military/soldier points producing buildings and we have Sian's graphs and he isn't much higher than us. Even with our friendly relations, we want to watch Xenu's build up carefully, maybe sending him off after Sian wouldn't be such a bad idea

Turn 36- Forge Completes, now run engineer specialist.

I think I made some better decisions when I did this yesterday, so this isn't finalised. The early part is fairly solid though so i thought |I should post it. I dont have time to correct it further at this juncture.

Congrats on Magellans!

That's a nice looking Micro plan... if you can read it. :-p

Haha, I've got to make them hard to read so that you eagle eyed lurkers don't point out all the inadequacies and hurt my self esteem
