[SPOILERS] 3 Players, 1 Civ, No Clues - Tatan, Nakor, and Serdoa are Darius of Rome

[Serdoa]

You are right, my bad. I guess I'd unload it on the tile where it states "road -> chop into wb" and we simply live with one less city. Alternatively we unload it on the original spot and chop the four forests into a library while slowbuilding the workboat. Not the greatest of ideas, but doable. Better long term, costly short term. Not sure what the better way is tbh, but I'd probably go for the chopping a Library simply because our 4 workers don't have anything else to do that makes sense. I mean they are only building cottages or cutting jungle because that at least feels like they accomplish something

[Tatan]

I went ahead and played most of the rest of the turn. I moved the settler and workers according to the "chop a library" plan. I assigned Nero's new citizen to work the pastured cow instead of the farmed spices; growth time is now 3 turns, but we can work a grass cottage or something to sync up growth with Monarchy.

Quick question about this guy:



What is he doing right now? Scouting, retreating, watching? I don't know what you had in mind for him Serdoa (my instinct would be to retreat), so I don't know how to move him.

Well, thats my doing Tatan. I am one of the most aggressive players here at RB and if I see a weak unit, I will kill it. But hey, they killed our chariot in return, so at least they feared us enough for a "double-move". Or at least I think that is what happened, as I tried to take a position which they cannot reach in one move. Not sure if the chariot was already dead when you logged in the first time though. We should try to not let that happen with the other chariot as well btw.

Yeah, sorry. He was still there, but I couldn't decide how to move him when I logged in, ran short on time in RL, and left you guys to move him, forgetting that in PB the enemy can log in and move at any time.

[Nakor]

Moved the chariot 1S and ended turn.
Someone build The Colossus (probably Lewwyn?).
Augustus started a Spear after the Axe.

If we want to go for the junk city we need to shuttle back 2 workers to start roading.

[Tatan]

Update of the contact chart:

[Nakor]

Played part/most of the turn.

Octavianus founded:


Research is getting somewhere!

And we have Caesar, whippable:


And Augustus, what to build? And shouldn't we work the grassland cottage?

[Nakor]

Serdoa, can you play todays turn?
If we can get Maths in 1t for the library chop, we should do so.

[Serdoa]

I guess Tatan played already as all troops were moved already. We might lose the chariot in the north as Ichabod has a skirm + spear pair 2 tiles away and hasn't ended turn yet, so could potentially double-move us.

I whipped the settler and basically moved all our military forward (along the road) to join up and escort him to the crap city location. It is not really good and we need to get workers up there, but if we want it we have to take it now and also we have to defend it. We might want to get some Archers soon as well, but I left research at Maths for now. Should finish end of next turn, early enough for the chops (as far as I can tell, as the workers showed 3 turns to completion).

I also switched tiles around, especially in the cap to get the axe in 2 turns and in the horse-city to get maximum overflow into another axe (I suggest, I haven't chosen a build yet).

[Nakor]

Had a few inutes before diner and played a bit.
You agree with math before monarchy to get better chops for the library?
Lets see if we can move before Mali next turn (Tatan?)...

[Tatan]

Lets see if we can move before Mali next turn (Tatan?)...

Did this, and nothing else (it's pretty late for me).

[Nakor]

Great job, Tatan.
What time was it?

Made the other obvious moves, but there might be some tweaking to do for Serdoa.

We're dead last in land and soldiers! What a game!
