Stop teasing me Q! You can advise me where to plant a city- you're not up against me this round! (or maybe ever- I'll have to check the Roster)
Anyways, here's the end of my next turn:

I'm not sure what the Malakim are up to, but they haven't grown yet...

The Demographics indicate they are producing 3 food from the tile they're working, and haven't settled on a Plains Hill like I have (only 2 hammers). Other than that, I'm in the dark as to what they're doing- only that their capital is still size 1:

And, somehow, despite their having the Creative trait and my not working any Commerce yet, I'm 1 point ahead of them in GNP???
How is that even possible? Anyways, I'm wondering at this point- maybe I should have sent my 2 Scouts to IMMEDIATELY try and choke their growth? It's not like they can do anything to stop it- a Worker on open ground (building a Farm) could only be protected by a single fortified Warrior at best- and I have two 3/2 Scouts with +20% STR from the Combat I promo...
I've probably missed my opportunity by now, but maybe if I send my second Scout west towards Bob right away, I'll get lucky and catch one of his units off-guard... 
Maybe.

Other people might disagree, but I don't feel that's within my prerogative, so I won't be doing so.
You also have the creative trait, remember?
The extra point probably relates to tech prerequisites that they do/don't have.
Erebus in the Balance - a FFH Modmod based around balancing and polishing FFH for streamlined competitive play.

No I don't! I'm Aggressive/Expansive.

For Animal Husbandry? The only tech I have is Agriculture- which is the normal prereq for that...

OK, well, my 2nd Scout is on its way west to see if I can't cause Bob any headaches...

I *REALLY* should have sent the 1st Scout west sooner, but can't change the past. Besides, I don't necessarily want to give away my plan too early...

Another turn, and...
![[Image: FO7BErV.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/FO7BErV.jpg)
My Scout spotted an Elephant!
It was right where the Pig is, I swear! You'll have to believe me on this one!
I saw it, but you didn't. I guess it's just the white elephant in the room... 
That might be the beer talking again. 
Anyways, this is GREAT news for the Svartalfar- because me tech path and civ strengths naturally favor Recon, and I start out with Combat I, it should be VERY easy to get some War Elephants! If Bob doesn't kill the Elephant just to deny me it first...

KITTY!
![[Image: fKCa3Xb.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/fKCa3Xb.jpg)
Quick, let's capture it! (or rather, let it attack us) Maybe it likes to snack on desert-men!
![[Image: lkMFuA2.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/lkMFuA2.jpg)
Or not... I guess it likes Elves more... 
There goes that plan, I guess...

OK, so I'm going to continue exploring to the west, but am going to try and give that Tiger a WIDE berth:

Hopefully I don't make my 2nd Scout into cat-food as well...

No sign of that Tiger again yet, but there's still plenty of time... Maybe it will go tack down Bob's Scout, and make HIM cat-food as well...

Also, I spotted a Griffon (STR 4 Flying) moving through my line-of-sight to the north! :YIKES:
This is turning out to be a REALLY dangerous map...

EEK, there's that Tiger again!
![[Image: qWBPKyi.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/qWBPKyi.jpg)
But THIS TIME, the odds are *STRONGLY* in my favor- it's only got 1.4 STR with a +40% from two Combat promos...
Whereas my Scout has 2 STR on the defensive, +20% from Combat I, and +50% vs. animals... (for a net of 1.4 vs, 2 STR with a +30% modifier in my favor)
![[Image: GSdEKmi.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/GSdEKmi.jpg)
NOPE! Looks like the Random Number Generator wants to SCREW me again tonight!
NEW STRATEGY- feed Scouts to the Tiger until we create a SUPER TIGER, then capture it and feed it desert-dwellers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...
Really, though, this is bad luck. As in earth-shakingly, I'm-probably-not-gonna-win-this-duel bad luck. Oh well, if Bob wins, I can blame it on the Random Number Generator! 
I mean, seriously though- this kind of thing SHOULDN'T happen. Not THIS often, anyways...
