i forgot to remove the hill city site near the pigs as it would be sharing the pigs and cannot be settled if the fish peninsula is picked

1se of the horse means we can work all the land tiles up there

the city 2n of the cows just fits in nicely and can take the pigs once the fish and clams are improved

id go with settling the horse next [t32] then the copper site 2s of the corn [t35] as 1st build there can be terrace. mr.mistoffelees can pump out 2 settlers in quick succession after its quechua to settle the fish/pigs/clams and the back fill 2n of the cows

I'd settle on top of the copper. Can't really work the copper anyway, with that little food around.

i suppose it does mean well have a city that can pump out axemen haha

hello sian haha. cool we avoid kyan/thestick and mackoti for a bit longer. hes already 2eps up so mustve met shoot as well. will check if shoots still spending on us next turn [currently 44/48] and switch fully to sian if hes not



ooh shiny! theres gems in the south:



fishing then iron working after pottery? then sailing - writing - mathematics - calendar? on that note pottery is looking to come in at end of t32 so could settle the copper next. after carbucketty [worker4] completes the farm he will road to the copper.

the north gets better and better! now found cows so theres 4 good city spots marked out up there:



* i swear i took that pic after moving the marker

I think SW of copper looks pretty good now. The banana hill can be mined for a decent 2/3 tile, and it picks up gems as well. It looks like we are in a race with Shoot to get those gems.

[TheMusicMan]

should we settle 2s of the corn as well? otherwise it will be a bit of a stretch

and well need iron working followed by fishing next right?

is that bananas on a grassland hill? thats interesting :O

yes it is


given meself some reminders for the copper city bombalurina:



and ive given the northern city-sites their names:



rumpleteazer is really a filler/cover city and will need to share resources to work its cottages/mines

carbucketty is set to start roading to bombalurina on the marked route and admetus will do the northern road network. not certain what the other 2 will do though

ive queued up fishing and iron working for after pottery ok?

oh had a look at the eps and we should get sians graphs after another 6 turns. then ill split them evenly with sian and shoot to maintain our advantage haha

[Catwalk]

I'd move rumpleteazer west somewhere, it offers little value where it's placed and it removes a forest and steals a grassland tile. I'd move it 2W1S (plains tile, can share 2 cottages with capital) or maybe 3W1S (plains hill tile, can share 1 cottage with capital).
