Played a turn this morning. 3 pop whipping a settler from capital next turn that will found city south from capital. I had to settle the most defensive position i.e. 1NE from corn.

Thread is messed up. Just testing, if I can get any messages through.

TMIT has some aggressive plans .

It seems I'm only one regularily reporting in this game. I had to admit that even my reports are quite minimalistic.

T45

Writing ready and I think I'll go for Archery and HBR next.



Tried to get TMIT to sign a deal, but without success. I don't see much point declaring him since it seems he is going to settle towards Rome that should be good news for us in the end.

Me:

I just spotted with my Chariot your worker NW from me building a road.
I've no intrest to interfere your plans, but since you're forcing me
to keep building extra defenders I'd like to have a good reason why I
shouldn't try to delay you as much as I can. So any ideas? What about
longish NAP until T90?

TMIT:

I'm not interested in a NAP, though I can see why you want one and your reasoning for the request. It just doesn't work for me though; I don't see a concrete benefit to accepting it that extends beyond my current position.

Sevao was founded

What's our opponents' city counts? Overall it seems like we're doing pretty well, impending attack(s) notwithstanding.

[plako]

We're doing alright, although focusing on safety starts to show up. Serdoa has 3 cities and everyone else 4. Actually WK has had 4 cities quite a while already.

In Emperor level one needs to be a bit careful not to overexpand. I also don't have the option to overexpand myself since I need to be able to get HBR and Construction fast.

Poking Serdoa:

Congratulations on landing Stonehenge and Oracle. You were 1,5T ahead of me for Oracle so I couldn't even curse the turn order for losing it ;-).

So do you still prefer to continue without a deal? My intrests are still the same, even if I haven't been sending you a new message every other day.

Response

thanks. I was actually setting myself back quite a bit by getting the Oracle on that turn but after you got Hinduism I felt not save to wait even one turn longer. Seems I was right with that. Though I guess on this map, getting some failgold is actually not that bad, at least if you are at the point where you have to be aware not to overexpand and don't want to build more troops. In one of my sims I had to build Barracks, just because I could neither afford more warriors, workers or settlers. Well, changing the tech-path helped with that

As for a NAP: I am sorry but no matter if I actually would like to agree to one or not, I have to keep it as it is.

Warfare will be extremely expensive in this setup so I've been starting to think, if trying to get some eco techs before military ones would make sense. My small army is already costing me 5 gold/turn.
