the issue.We would have to use the axes from Hulk and Emerald to do it fast, do you think it's a risk? Both cities would still have a spear each, and Emerald keeps building military. I think it should be ok.
Played the turn, still little to report:
GNP is a bit low considering we are researching with our Academy. However, this is in part due to Pfeffi working hammers instead of cottages. As it looks like, we can only pay for 2 more turns of research, which will not be enough, so we could start saving gold again and turn it back on once Pfeffi returns to cottages, at least a little.
CY is worrying me, because it means that with many citizens (high pop) we're getting too little food. The MoM cities won't improve that. Well, the only solution is full steam expansion after Currency/Mids/Moai.
Instead of coloured dots, I labeled our planned settling sites alphabetically; the order is roughly the order I expect us to settle them, X and Y being an exception, as they run somewhat apart.
D probably has to be moved 1N because THH pressure, though I hate not to settle on coast. In return, the dot would get a 2nd ring deer and plains hill city tile.
A is now 1N of my initial pink dot; if THH gets the barb city we are not competing for the incense and might as well move it 1W.
I'll be away from home by about 11pm tonight; if a turn comes around feel free to play it. The western scout warrior should move 1S to check if there is a stone resource. Btw a sadistic Commodore could have put marble there and given each of Al and Mardoc a stone island. That way we could be a lot less sure about our Mids success.
I still think the Great Wall culture will be helpful to control the zone, plus it's fun.
