[SPOILERS] Scooticator and Pindooter give a sporting try

[scooter]

SE-something I think is probably best. We'll uncover that coast sooner or later. Ultimately though it's just scouting, and as you know I'm not exactly the type to put much good thought into scout moves. :P

[NobleHelium]

Just cut through the jungle towards the SE. We don't need to thoroughly scout this area because it's far enough away that we don't need to plan cities in the near future.

[pindicator]

If we had anything else to think about i wouldn't care about scouting nearly as much
But let's find out where Lewwyn is and how big the continent goes.

Bonus: warrior finishes eot and can pop that northerly hut circa t32

[pindicator]

They're renaming the Rose Garden to the Moda Center!? Wtf

[NobleHelium]

Just keep using the old name long enough and they'll rename it back just like Candlestick.

[pindicator]

I hope so. The NBA is now down to 2 arenas that have kept a real name and aren't named after a corporation. Everyone knows one of them, and I bet Scooter can give you both

Turn 029



The warrior finished and is moving to pop the hut up north. It'll grab it on turn 32, and then has 4 turns to get back south to escort our settler to the first city. That gives it a turn to jump on that forested hill by the hut, but unless he sees something amazing we've got our 2nd city spot pretty wrapped up by now.

The settler will finish in 6 turns, thanks to the chop that our worker is doing. What we need to figure out is what happens next. I take it we want to go for Wheel & Pottery after BW finishes, and after the settler finishes we can go worker -> warrior. Maybe whip out the worker? After all, the capital will only be working 2 improved tiles after the 2nd city takes the wheat.

With scouting I went SE-SE



Oh look, a jungled banana. How original.

[NobleHelium]

How about we chop the riverside grass southwest of the capital, and then road it so that the settler can settle one turn sooner? Do we get Wheel soon enough for that? (We also might pop Wheel if scooter isn't playing the turn.) Then we can cottage of course. I don't think we should chop the hill if we're not mining it immediately.

Indeed, Madison Square Garden aaaaand the Palace

It's a nice place to see a game, though I wish it was downtown. Although I feel like there's another team with a non-corporate arena. You sure it's just two?


Let's just push south however works best. I think I'd like us to just cover as much ground as possible and meet another team or two if we can.

[pindicator]

Nah, we don't have the Wheel yet. We'll have BW in 2 turns and I was thinking the hill SW because we'd mine it after. But really I don't know if that's better than farming the rice. And if we're going to farm the rice immediately after the chop then we might as well chop a flatland forest.

Edit: I looked it up and technically there's a 3rd. The New Orleans arena, but they're shopping for naming rights so they won't count for much longer.

[NobleHelium]

I know we don't have Wheel yet, I'm saying can we get it in time to build the road for the settler? We might also pop it. Either way I think we should farm the rice instead of mining, yes. Whipping the worker after the settler sounds good.
