What I'm mostly interested is the ivory (although denying copper from Incans would be a sweet bonus
). Slowcheetah has protective archers so if he settles the spot first, I can forget about taking the city before catapults. And since construction unlocks my unique unit, it would probably obsolete once I would get a hold of the city
So operation "Pink dot" is really tempting, but it's quite high risk and brings up a lot of negative aspects. First of all, slowcheetah will go bananas and I will be his number 1 enemy until one of us is destroyed
. Especially since one of his neighbor seems to be bounty hunting Lewwyn, who could be quite harmless if there are more tempting targets for him. Secondly I would be spending
a lot of early resources on getting defenses enough to hold the city, at the cost of research. I'm sure everyone except slowcheetah would be quite happy about that
. And thirdly, I would be culture battling against his capital (and losing), so he will have an easy time to attack my city.
Currently leaning towards the boring and safe route (sorry
).
Edit: Then again I could just forget about the ivory and just steal the copper. But the city would be on flat land. Have to think about that...
