[SPOILERS] Laconic plakonic

[flugauto]

Have you decided the next city location?

[plako]

No. depends e.g. where Serdoa has settled and how his military power goes. Based on civstats he has 3 cities too and pitiful military at the moment. If that stays, I might take my chances settle on the tile where lion was on T51 screenshot or alternatively settle something way better closer to my core.

T52

Jowy finished Oracle. Better him than some of the others. Pretty early one so probably had to do quite a few sacrifices to build it.

Since Stonehnege is still there I'll make an effort to get it. This turn I whipped worker for 30 hammer overflow and will get 80 hammers from chops so I just need to collect 10 extra hammers within next 3 turns to finish it in 4T. I'll get little gold and 80 hammers to something else if this fails so I'm ok with that alternative also.

T53

Contact with Bacchus. Found also fish near marble. In principle nice assuming I can claim it, but makes yet another hard to fit piece to the dot mapping puzzle.

T54

Chopfest has started.

[plako]

T55

Pretty clear already from civstats that Serdoa finished Stonehenge. I haven't seen cows, Sheep, copper or horses improved near him so presumably he settled somewhere towards Stone or built it wihtout. I hope it was in awkward position in case of stone. Well that gives me 36 coins + potentially 4 chops, but I'll spare 1 of them for later.

T56-T57

Bacchus is in trouble. He has just his capital.

Serdoa has occupied central position in the middle with warrior. There was a lion that probably suicided against that warrior.

T58

Iron working Serdoa - What are you thinking? I guess they had to have jungle gems close enough to make it worthwhile.

Judaism was also founded. I'm not intrested enough to try to find out who. I'm happy as long as it wasn't Serdoa.

It seems I'm in a pretty quiet corner of this map so I've time to amuse me (and maybe even some of the lurkers ) with irrelevant tidbits.

So how is Aggressive fairing when compared to Financial in this game setup and state. AGR saves me 1 gpt and I've already built 1 cheap Barracks that provide me both +1 culture and promotions to units that I would now start to need no matter what. FIN is giving me 2 commerce/turn. Without calculating anything further it feels like both of them have contibuted equally so far for my development. Bit of a surprise to me. Of course without being AGR I wouldn't have built Barracks and my 3rd city would have been settled to claim also gold 1st ring so this is not that simple.
