Any questions?

Why did you settle islanc cities on the marble and banana?

[Cornflakes]

Quite frankly, the marble island was settled there because we only saw the northern fish and pigs. Didn’t see the southern fish until … literally just now the galley only scouted the north side before ferrying over the settler. However the defensive bonus of the hill is definitely appealing.

Other island city is on the banana because +1 food now is worth more than +3 later. And the 2nd ring clams is better consolidated into this city now rather than leaving it for a filler city to grab later. Plus the gold tile greatly assists the growth curve of the island city pre-jungle-chopping.

Sent the worker that finished chopping to chop a forest into the capital. Figured the worker that JUST finished chopping next to it can go to the grasshill and start mining/chopping and then move to the horse when borders pop?
MyHeroAcad can probably build a worker after TGLH, and the capital settler head towards the rice spot 2S1E of Scooters warrior?

Yes, sounds good

[superdeath]

Forgot to take a pic, but landed TGLH. Got 1 settler whipped, 1 settler 2t from settling, and NAP's with both neighbors.. everything is looking okay for once.

Settled a city, will settle another one next turn, and i have a galley coming up in Tanya the Evil that will take the capital settler to the Marble island between Charriu and i. Re:Zero will whip a settler into a axeman in a couple turns for the sheep spot just north of it.




Been slacking on Anime music.. i apologize.





Any questions?  Concerns?

[Cornflakes]

Concern: where is worker labor to chop the jungle rice?
Concern: MJMD's persistence in requesting Great Lighthouse gold from the trade income that he "provides" ... in reality he will provide nothing whatsoever in additional income. Only island cities of his would provide +1c as compared to your island cities, and he won't have enough island cities to fill up your base trade route at each city. If he insists, you can prove it by getting a screenshot of your finance advisor, then cancel OB and get another screenshot. I wouldn't be concerned with diplomatic fallout either. You are building axes and spears for slightly more than token defense already, and you will have War Chariots available shortly.

Right on the jungled rice of course.

Just completed another round of workers, so cottage spam will begin in earnest. As you can see, My Hero Acad is working on Temple of Artemis and unless Ginger grabs it, i should complete it for a nice chance at GMerchants throughout the game. OR ill get a nice chunk of fail gold.

With 3 cities so far with Hinduism spread, im speeding along a GProphet to get us a shrine. ill also likely be dedicating a city to producing Missionaries for awhile.

[Cornflakes]

Looking good! Hindu shrine is OK, but ultimately you probably want to focus on spreading the AP religion. Pausing the prophet and using GLH merchant for a trade mission to rush towards Paper (with Bureaucracy along the way) and sniping University of Sankore while Ginger/scooter grab AP might be the better play.
