The Quarterdeck - Turn Discussion Thread

Go ahead. It will be a good turn to play. Our second city will be going up. Not sure how mAny other teams have two cities.

[waterbat]

We should know that. Damn scurvy took out our c&d crew too !

I'll put some time in tonight. If you can play kp, feel free. Settling cities is fun. Did we decide what we are going to build in tortuga? It will be a little while before that corn is farmed.

huh?

For the record, no-one else has a second city yet as the pop values match everyone's capitals.

So did we decide Size 2 or Size 3? There doesn't seem to be any consensus.

I haven't ended the turn yet, we need something on Size 2 vs. Size 3.

Tortuga was settled. M3 has 2 Warriors hanging around the area, including one standing on the hill tile we settled Tortuga on. M3 and TEAM haven't settled a second city yet. The Worker will start farming the Corn next turn. I queued up a Warrior there to start.

The Wheel will take four turns to complete, and Pottery will take 12 more turns to complete, at the current rate things are going.

Here's how Barbados looks right now:



I vote Size 3, seeing how far away Pottery seems.

M3 has their first Settler built:

Not sure what the right play is. If we go for size 3, should be okay i guess.

Just need to make sure who ever is playing the turn, when the chop comes in, we need to switch back to a settler for one turn to ensure he gets the forrest chop.

As for the second city, maybe we build a couple of quechas for defense until we get to size 2, and then go for another worker maybe until we get pottery? Pity that hill tile wasnt a plains hill tile...that would have been quite handy...

[Nakor]

I agree. Let's grow to size 3 but put the chop into the settler.

[thestick]

Okay, growing to Size 3. Tortuga is sinking hammers into Quechuas.

[waterbat]

In interest of time (and nothing much going on at the moment), I played our turn.

Have we reached out to M3 yet? We need to get the diplo going - they have 2 warriors on our border! We can;t cover the city center and the worker square if they get frisky.

I continued the chop, and moved the scout. cleared the "farm here" sign and put a sign on the hill that M3 could snipe the worker from.

here;s the threat situation:

[Nakor]

Looking ok.
Do we have a screenshot for TEAM?

[thestick]

Can do. What do we want to reveal? Bare map, nothing else? Do we reveal Tortuga? Probably.
