RBP3: Joao of Inca [SPOILERS]

[athlete4life10]

Hey Athlete,

Great team we have here! It's just a bit to much to play a good part in two of these games...

I'll try to keep us at the "good" side diplomaticaly speaking, but I won't go to any length keeping contact and sending thousands of mails, I also don't have the time, but I'll manage things as best as I can.

Let's hope Jowy is willing to play a bigger part.

Nakor

Ya I'm completely content with that. There's a lot going on so I think if we just keep quiet and basically go with the flow we can get ourselves back into the game. I'm not expecting much more than that as I don't think I'd put more effort into it then you do. We'll just see how she goes .

Got a message from Ruff (send him one first).
He's ok with us settling SW of the proposed site near the stone and also mentions that the other alliance is up north, so we should claim the north soon.

[Nakor]

We are getting somewhere!
We got Sailing and HBR from our new allies and discovered Priesthood last turn.
We aren't last in score anymore!
Now let's see if we can make this work even more.

I gave our consent to Sunrise devising a tactical plan.

[Nakor]

Silver and Gold are connected. Working the silver gives us a much more positive income, working the gold as well in 2t shall make that even better.

Kiwi finished a chariot (going to scout south) and started a HA, letting it grow before build/whip another settler for the stone site near Ruff.
JANK will finish the worker next turn and will grow as well a bit before building a settler.

Things look good. When I logged in I was greeted by a diplo windo from Manicat Marshal (friendly kittens I believe). It said I had meant to offer these 2 before but forgot, though he wasn't offering anything. He does have MC available. Are they supposed to give it to us? I had almost gotten caught up on diplo but things took off again...

[Nakor]

Don't know if Maniac is part of Cuddle. What are they playing?
I'll take a look and see. If we could get MC from them that would be great!

[athlete4life10]

Played the turn...I'll try and get logged in more frequently. I'd definitely like to do so. We've got a barb axe by Kiwi Town. I didn't end turn in case you wanted to whip the HA. Hopefully it will suicide against the quecha but you never know...I'm almost inclined to whip but I'll leave the decision to you Nakor.

Athlete

[Nakor]

Chose not to whip the HA, let's gamble, I think we're safe.

Ended the turn.

Nakor,

I'm happy to remain as a funder for even the long term. So long as we make sure we're getting the techs. We should still build libraries where feasible in case of some shake up in the game but courthouses and marketplaces will take priority when we can get them.

Rome has proposed a land division. I'm not thrilled with losing the "pig" spot in our NE (their NW) but I suppose that's ok. Both spots we have picked out I don't see much food but if we go light on the whipping and work cottages everywhere they'll be good commerce sites. That should give us 2 sources of stone as well.

The idea of going to Caste upon CoL to get a gp is nice but not something I'd pursue immediately I think. We'll rely more on the whip for production, especially in new cities and we're not SPI to capitalize on it so we should avoid too much anarchy. Especially given that we'll still be expanding for some time.

Do you have any short term plans in terms of units and/or builds?

Athlete

[Nakor]

Athlete,

I accepted SsS's deal about the spots.
We'll get a NAP with them and Portugal indefinetly with a 15t cooldown.
Trying to get the same deal with Ruff.

I plan on building workers/settlers/military (2 movers) and once we have CoL and Currency and we're funding I'd like to whip some courthouses (my main reason for asking for CoL, I agree on not going to Caste) to get even more money. Course we build terraces and lib's everywhere.

In what order do you think we should find the cities?

Do you have other/better plans? We can try to chop out a wonder...
