Turn 8
Nothing new and no contact with CS or other players. The turnpace was so quick yesterday (thankfully) that I missed taking a screenie.

Turn 9
Terrific news. The eureka for Astrology is ours. District planning. Yeah I am not happy yet. I will do a more thorough district planning lateron. I would hate to build a city on the spices, but it would be more optimal then the cities w and e.
Whosit= Trajan of Rome
Whosit plays CIV VI MP for the first time. From what I see, he seems not to be afraid of wars. A quick legion rush could be nasty and fatal for other players. Chevalier Mal Fet= Tokugawa of Japan Overanalysis, gigantic threads and great economy. Tokugawa is frankly awesome. His internal trade routes are really, really good. I am most worried about him. TheArchduke= Jayavarman of Khmer Khmer, religious builder civ. The UU does not lend itself to a war. Maybe we will surprise everyone with a faith bought super army. greenline= Seondeok of Korea Korea is a great civ, greenline is a bit new, but seems a dedicated pitboss player. Krill= Yongle of China Krill seems to play CIV VI like a grumpy uncle in the basement. Yongle is really nasty if his cities get huge. Let´s hope he will busy with a war with someone else or myself.

Turn 13
So a quick couple of turns where I move my warrior. I did screenies, but who cares about those turns. So I finish my 2nd warrior. And start a settler. Current thinking is locking in the cost of the holy site, push the settler our and establish a 2nd city with a holy site. Let´s go over my capital: Unsurprisingly the best holy sites can be built on the river. You notice I decided on the Holy Site to the west of the city. Thinking is that I will not chop the forest on the spices and I could keep the forest on the hills. I want to do this anyway. My capital is production starved and I do not see a way out via chopping. Magnus does not look enticing for Don´t Panic. The cultural bomb nets me only 2 space instead of 3. Forget about the Holy Site in the north, I do not have the money to buy a 3rd ring tile. So, now I have the holy site planned, let´s see about the other districts. Now let me establish an aqueduct. I also have to consider the other city sites. To not have a suboptimal holy site, the 2nd city needs to buy the tile where I want to plop down my holy site for +3 instead of +2 faith. But the first ring of the 2nd site is juicy. Not only the spices but a 1f/3h tile. So, slowly thinking about the aqueduct shows that I can boost 2-4 tiles with the aqueduct, which multiplied by 2 gives me the bonuses I can achieve. Next I need to sort out farming triangles in the north to maximize food production. Also as I am not Russia I have to consider which tiles I can get. I want the spices in my first ring to get the city of the ground which gives me 2 possible city locations. The cows are too close to a barb camp and I can make a desert tile productive. Also hiding my city behind 2 hills where I can shoot on flood plains makes my city a nightmare to conquer. People love to forget this is a wargame as well. I also do not want fish ressources or a harbour where I get rid of forests. My harbor city has to be in the south. So desert tile or grassland hills. The grasslands hills is even more defendible but I need to establish 2 districts to get rid of the desert. But the aqueducts which is possible is more awesome. So: So, I have to see which district setup I can establish coupled together with my capital. Optimal placement of 5 districts of my capital and 4 in the 2nd city. And assume 10 worked tiles. SITE A SITE B I lean towards site A currently. So much for my current city planning.

Turn 16
I plop the Holy Site down on turn 15 and continue on my settler. In news, I find a 3rd barb camp to the west and next turn a CS on turn 17 if you squint through the fog north of my southern warrior. With water on both sides and no obvious contact, I could very well be on an island.
Turn 17
I encounter Preslav and snatch God King and Discipline. Preslav looks really juicy. The question is when can I conquer it and do I need a ship. |
