[spoiler] Azza hits them for 6

[spacetyrantxenu]

Been meaning to ask, why does Azza need to hit for 6, is 5 not enough?

[Azza]

When playing cricket, if a batsman hits the ball over or into the boundary on the full, the batsman is awarded 6 runs.

OK, I never would have got that one. I've tried watching cricket before and couldn't figure out the rules with a quick viewing and didn't investigate it any further.

Forgot to post this shot of my scouting as of approx 1 week ago




As you can tell, copper is in abundance.

Made a quick dotmap today.

Teching Masonry, chopping out the settler at size 1, pre-improving the cows. This is probably awful play, but fuck it, going for it anyway.




Horses are in the BFC of the planned Mids chop city, so that's a plus.

City of Caught has been built. The worker has prechopped the tile marked 1t, so that'll be put into the Mids as soon as Masonry is learnt. Not sure if I'll immediately mine the forest hill 1NE after chopping it just yet, depends how risky I'm feeling I guess.

Bowled is about to have another settler chopped out to claim the clam/gold/cow/fish/copper site to the north east, followed by more workers.




Was a bit surprised by the strength of my demographics considering I have a size 2 capital and a size 1 2nd city, but it makes sense when I think about it. The extra yields from the city centre of Caught are making up for the current lack of population, as most others probably don't have a 2nd city. Plus, I'm working grassland wet corn and cows, both improved, so I'm getting 2 very strong yielding tiles.

Weren't there forests here?

[spacetyrantxenu]

Update! Anything new going on? New plans, new cities, new screenshots? Neighbor analysis, etc.?

[Azza]

Still working on the 'Mids, LBW was built, trying to get a sufficient worker force to improve my lands.

Please don't let me lose this.
