[SPOLIERS] TT and Ilios - PBEM 10

[Ilios]

Ooh that will make for a nice city eventually! Two early accessible happyness resources... Need more workers! =)

Nothing much to talk about except moving the warrior about. Have found some lovely land to show you though!




And here is my first attempt at dotmapping

[Ilios]

Wow, where were Krill and Kyan when the PB3 map was rolled... Nice lands indeed!

I agree with the northern dotmaps.

I'd pull red dot 1 NE (north of the pigs), so the city can share the grass hills with the capital.

That will give you more room for a solid yellow dot, which I'd (provisionally) place on tile occupied by the warrior (1W of your yellow dot). Three decent food tiles and 4 hills will give the site strong production potential.

We'll have to wait and see where copper/horse pop up ofcourse before deciding...

Doesn't all that food just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Nah, makes me hungry!


Hmmm... Corn...

Here's something Ky told me once and it changed my thoughts about corn!

Doesn't the picture look like 3 parrots?

Yes?

Erm, what?


Anyway, some more thoughts about the game.

Provided the other players' start looks like ours, I'd say that the Great Lighthouse will probably be very powerful on this map. I can't remember if there is an Industrial leader in this game, but building the wonder is something we should consider...

We also need to pick a location for the Moai National Wonder (+1 hammer on every water tile).

I'm pretty sure someone started with Napoleon of the Dutch. Cheap Lighthouses and Levees that give +1 hammer to every water tile? Murder! Death! Kill!

Ok pulled this from the public player thread, TT, if you could copy paste this into your first post for easy reference?

Meatbalz: Boudica (AGG/CHA) of Arabia (Madrassa/Camel Archer), starts with The Wheel/Mysticism

Tatan: Napoleon (ORG/CHA) of Holland (Dike/East Indiaman), starts with Agriculture/Fishing

Cyneheard: Cyrus (IMP/CHA) of Carthage (Cothon/Numidian Cavalry), starts with Mining/Fishing

Serdoa: Qin (IND/PRO) of Russia (Research Institute/Cossack), starts with Hunting/Mining

Ad Hoc: Gilgamesh (CRE/PRO) of Greece (Odeon/Phalanx), starts with Hunting/Fishing

Turn 5 and you're already declaring MDK on certain players?

Sweet!

It does indeed! Now I'll never be able to look at it the same again...
