[SPOILERS] The Wild Card

[The Black Sword]

These villagers really don't like their gold, we're rich!

The scout should head up to defog the copper site next I think.

Also, the city 1E of the Ivory doesn't orphan anything, so I like that as a GP farm. I think Colossus can either go here or at the copper spot.

Our double pre-reqs on Masonry might be scaring some people:


Jetboy got the second worker out and is starting on the third.

[The Black Sword]

Hey Jowy, I'm going to be away tomorrow, could you play the turns?

IIRC, I had just chopped the shared grass forest and two workers have started cottaging the tile for Dr Tachyon to grow onto. They should be able to start the quarry as Masonry comes in while the final worker gets everything pre-chopped.

Also, WillLP was the Buddhism founder and his high score indicates a good tech rate, so we may have some competition. Not that it matters really, no point giving up on it now and our time will be hard to beat.

[Jowy]

Yeah will do. I should get re-familiarized with the game anyway, been a while since I played a turn.

[Jowy]

Put a turn of chopping into the forests 1E and 1W of Jetboy.

[Jowy]

Put another turn of chopping into the forest 1W of Jetboy. Started quarry with the other two workers, due in 3T. Priesthood due in 3T.

[Jowy]

1W and 1N forests are now pre-chopped.

We should probably settle our fifth city past the low food lands as well. We'll know more once the scout gets there, but somewhere along the river is probably good. We can fill the spots in-between later.

[The Black Sword]

Cool, we must be coming up on Oracle time then?

I was vaguely thinking of city 5 on that southern island, which would be an immediate 5c over any other city and share the fish from the capital. Would depend on if we can find another good site and how close we think dtay is obviously.

Also, if we're nearly finished the oracle plan are you happy with Monotheism as our next tech? I don't think any of the other ancient era stuff is time sensitive and Maths still feels too far away to me.

[Jowy]

Ye oracle should be on time. I don't think we'll grow to the next size that turn as you planned, though. Chops will give 20 hammers each, 40 with modifier, so 120 total. Need 150 for Oracle, so we'll need to get 30 hammers from Jetboy that turn.
EDIT: Ah yeah, forgot we're gonna complete that warrior before Oracle and get some overflow action going

Sure we can go for the island city once we have Sailing and a galley out. If it is an island. Would be nice to get a scouting workboat out at some point to make sure, IIRC the south side of the island is still fogged and might have land tiles.

Monotheism for OR? Yeah let's do it, we should have all the reqs already.

It's Turn 50, we are very close! If someone doesn't get it EOT we will at least get a coin flip on it.
