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

You can make the offer if you want, however we are two cities behind everyone else. A settler now would really help us (and delay Sian slightly), besides the colossus while brilliant in single player appears to be rather a posioned chalice in multiplayer, because it causes the delay of astronomy and galleons. Hopefully, at some point Sian will fall into that trap if he builds it.

[Catwalk]

Alright, will agree to put that on hold. I will ask him if he'd be willing to settle the city for us, will save us a turn or two and more importantly means we will not have to sign OB with him for 10t.

[slowcheetah]

Sounds ok, we'd have to warn Xenu though, he might have a fit if he sees a settler of Sian's coming towards his borders. I assume you mean settling in the tundra?

The settler then, must be the Brew that is True!

That's right he's in the Flagon with the Dragon.

I suggest settling our GP right away. We won't be wanting a shrine anytime soon, can't bulb much of anything and don't want to launch a golden age so soon. Where would be best to settle it? I'm guessing HA.

[slowcheetah]

Settling probably is our best option for now, Only other thing I can think of is bulbing theology for some holy city culture, that only requires monotheism.

[Catwalk]

I have a GE cooking in OHP, putting up a forge there to hurry it along. I want to use it for MoM if you concur, don't want to risk Sian snatching it.

[slowcheetah]

I'm happy to use a GE for MoM, we should probably see if we can get another one out to bulb machinery at some point though, (considering we will probably be running a mix of scientists and engineers everywhere this may well happen).

[Catwalk]

DD has only GE points so far, although a library is underway. I suggest that we use close to max specialists everywhere, provided the city has enough food to maintain its growth. I'd say we'll have an 80% chance or better of getting a GE among one of the next 3 great persons (excluding the one for MoM).
