[SPOILERS] Zanth's thread

[zanth]

I've settled a new city. It seems I'm the first one. Changed slider to 60% (20 total gold makes using of slider w/o penalty), BW next turn.
Then 3 turns to hunting, 3 fishing, 6 max maybe 5 to pottery, then maybe myst for SH or/and religion

[Gavagai]

I probably should have mentioned earlier but I'm dedlurking this. And I just want to put it here:



You know, just to make lurkers aware about the current state of our planning. Seriously, we should definitely do something with all these forests.

EDIT: visibility line in this picture is slightly off but it doesn't have material consequences.

[zanth]

Btw, I should mention that Nakor disovered BW a turn before us, he knows the same info about copper. Let's wait to see where he would settle his 2nd city.

[zanth]

Nakor've founded 2nd city. And I would have settler in 6 turns. Though he has forest on copper -> a bit longer till axes

[zanth]

It seems Nakor still hasn't invented wheel

though a situation, when he's got wheel but no warriors possible, but w/ low probability

[zanth]

worker plan: (alpha 1 or A1 is western worker, A2 - eastern)
T 40:
A1 - chop
A2 go SW
T 41:
A2 - road

T43: anarchy! Settler go to tile 1SW from copper (1SE from sheep)
A1 - go to sheep
A2 - chop

T44: anarchy over, new city founded!
A1 - pasture

T46
A2 - go to copper

T47
A2 road
pasture finished

T48
road finished
A1 either road or go to copper and start mine

T50 or T51 or T52 mine finished and copper connected to empire's network

Gavagai and other lurkers (if any) what do you think?

P.S. It seems Nakor would end chopping on copper this turn. So 4+2 more for mine+road (though he hasn't invented wheel yet), so he would have connected copper at new city no earlier then at T46
P.P.S. He still needs to build at least 2 roads for capital connection
P.P.P.S. I'm a bit unsure would tiles of gold and forest be connected by a road, there's still river, and rivers are a mistery for me

[zanth]

And my scout was eaten be a bear

[zanth]

I'm fond of calculating in mind, but it seems it's quite difficult to understand what others have in their mind
So for lurkers here's possible microplan
there was a slight mistake so not http://s7.postimg.org/flhxq5jln/micro.png but http://s30.postimg.org/oztbezqsx/micro_2.png is actual. Spoiler corrected

[Gavagai]

I bet we won't get Stonehendge by T55 with four strong industrials in game...

[zanth]

Maybe. Still we need at least Myst for culture.

Here's dotmapping:

Violet and red cities are build, orange would be settled soon.
Then dark blue or maybe green (conquest cities)
Light bluea nd brown have lesser priorities.
Black and white -- even lesser.
