[Spoliers] Alhazard tries again x2

[Alhazard]

DTG is likely going for BW since he didn't research a tech yet. Horses couldn't be in a better place considering my neighbor.

I think LT opened with Hunting since I don't think I am getting any known bonus. I expect ipecac to also finish BW end of his turn.

Need to sim out if I should road then farm, or waste 1 worker turn then farm, or improve horse 1st.

[Alhazard]

ok wasting 1 worker turn to farm rice starting T16 definitely comes out ahead. Also the best city to claim the wheat is on the Grass Hill 2N of sheep. but this is going to be such a tough hold especiallty if LT goes for the pig+clam city first and builds henge. I guess then I will claim the northern Sheep city, although it is not as good since it doesn't have the 7 trees the southern city's BFC can claim.

EDIT: I guess I can try to plant that city as 3rd, and pray that Hinduism lands there...

[Alhazard]

I redid sims just to make sure and it actually was better to improve horses first.

T15 (sorry thought I already reported this)





T16




Now it is T16 and ipecac just finished AH or Hunting with former being more likely. I have to wonder what that team was doing.

Just saw that my scouting pic was not correct, but my next scout move is 2W.

[Alhazard]

I gotta say that I am stumped by DTG's turn and opening. Looks like he researched a tech, got a 2K power increase, and whipped off 1 pop. Did he just 1 whip a warrior? Or he could have researched Hunting and 1 whipped another WB or a worker. Strange. At least the pre-req bonus shaves 1 turn off BW.
