RBP3: Joao of Inca [SPOILERS]

[Jowy]

EDIT: Another interesting thing from top 5 cities: several people founded on the 2nd turn.

Four or five did I believe. Easy to check when the scores are not hidden. The French didn't settle until turn 3.

[Nakor]

I agree with Red and Green as well!

Played our turn.

We're the ONLY one with a size 2 capital... what is everone else doing?
Worker ordered, working sheep and plain/forest/hill, will take 10 turns.

Great, thanks for playing Nakor and hope you're better. The fact that we are the only ones with a size 2 capital is a bit strange and suggests most (all) people started with worker first. I think in our case, we'll be fine given that we'll have a worker only 4 turns later (would have had it on turn 15) but will have a quechua out.

Anything new seen? I don't like much our start so far, but let's hope it's the same for everybody. I mostly concerned that we have no good second city spot yet.

I'm fine! Just one day of slight fever and a bit nauseaus...

No new landmarks to go by. Just wheat and pigs....

Guys,

I'd have to login and check but where Sausage is now is on that hill so I would suggest again a SE, NE, NE type of movement.

Thoughts?

Can we call the new quechua 'Hot Dog'? Otherwise I need to check in game the proposed scouting route. Also, we have now to be careful and have some defense close to the capital.

Ok I named the new quechua 'Hot Dog' If you disagree rename him to something else.

My suggestions for exploration are:

* Sausage: SE, NE, NE

* Hot Dog: a bit unsure, maybe NE, NE to that hill by the Twin Mountains?

The reason I am unsure about Hot Dog is that I am a bit afraid to leave the capital undefended. The map is quite crowded and I think that we can start to expect the ene... , I mean other civs to find us. What do you guys think?

Your path for sausage is identical to what I proposed! Glad to see we're still thinking alike .

Regarding the above I would say lets keep Hot Dog continuing along the (rough) path indicated by the green line in my previous screenshot. Everybody knows we were the first to size 2 and should guess appropriately we have built a quecha. Everybody should expect we keep one home while exploring so lets utilize both now to defog our immediate area and then go deep as previously suggested. Doing the unexpected might net us an early kill or choke. You never know!

Heh, yes you are right, I proposed the exact same thing but I did it independently so it should be good

Your argument is good that being first to size 2 suggests we have a quechua around, so we could credibly bluff.

Re: Hot Dog, I think go to that hill may be worthwhile because it would uncover a good deal of the land that way, then we can follow the green path. This is just a suggestion thought, I don't feel strongly about it.
