[Spoilers] Pindicator accepts his fate

[pindicator]

Heh, try the bottom of the screenshot Thoth

And yeah, I expect this to be heavily edited, just based on the lush area between my start and NylesStandish's. Is the hill sugar to my south similar to Nyles' fur south of his capital? We'll find out (though fur would be far superior IMO).

I'd be willing to bet this map was zeroed down to all-seas before being rebuilt. So might see random coast tiles.

Anybody want to bet on who the southern neighbor is? I say Borsche because I'm an optimist (and he's about to skip his like 4th turn of the game).

Maybe he will request pauses once he has a worker out?

I hope so... The fastest way to kill a game is to have one of the players just go missing

Missing the scouting, eh. I'd say he needs to be replaced after the worker is out.

And south neighbor is totally going to be TBS, having taken over for his newbie.

Turn 014

First peak southward:



And Nicolae finished his tech this turn -- too soon for BW! But right about on time for AH. And world soldier count only went up 2k so it's very plausible that he went AH first.


EDIT: Which way to explore next? South or east?

Commodore pointed out a detail I didn't know about ssaltwater bodies having wave animation while freshwater do not. I took a look back in the game and updated the image with what I saw.

Well...

...east. Natch. I'd do NW over W; wolves and lions and bears are around.

Well, if any of you lurkers have a desire to play the awesome combination Mehmed II of Carthage, there is a nonzero chance of an opening in the near future...

I really, really don't want to suggest we forcably replace someone ... but what are the options here? There's been zero communication and something like 4 missed turns from Borsche; we're paused waiting for him for like the 3rd time so far and it's only turn 14.

I'm just waiting to post the above in the tech thread because I'm really hoping someone else will do it first... or that Borsche will appear. It's just not a line I'm happy to cross.
