[SPOILERS] Lewger goes for the Bigwyn

[Bigger]

btw if we do have horses, what are we researching next?

we're going to need monarchy for HR and the wine. what do you think of trying to found judaism? might be our only chance at a religion.

[Bigger]

so I couldnt wait for Lewwyn to play the turn to see what we had:



horses!!!

btw, lewwyn the worker NE of gilgamesh will take two turns to reach horses, but thanks to the roads he can start camping the furs this turn. the worker currently cottaging can work on the horses without losing a worker turn (I think after he finishes cottage, but could be done this turn and just finish cottage later).

I didn't do anything except take the picture.

we need a cottage SW of the rice too, since that tile can be shared by btoh cities. man we really need a 4th worker .

[Lewwyn]

Oh Bigger if you had looked closer you would have seen the real prize:



Mnhmmm! Silver next to that fish and intercontinental baby. How soon can we settle that?

Azza being trouble:



I brought the other warrior down and due to coast Azza can see it. He won't go NW and if he does we have to kill his warrior.



Scout found another fish... Want.

I whipped the settler. Moved the cottaging worker to the horse and started a pasture. Then I moved the other worker and put a turn into the furs. Next turn Helena (I think) comes off the furs and moves to the horses and helps pasture. Then when pasture is done both move to the furs and finish that. Then the cottage.

Gilgamesh Grows this turn back to 3. Whoopie! It will finish the warrior with overflow. Then it will start a chariot.

I switched Illiad to work both cottages and the rice. It grows in 2 turns. We will have it grow to 4 in unhappy, start a worker, whip a worker, overflow to finish the warrior. Yay.

Demos:


Meh. I feel good though about our development.

I set tech to Myst. I debated whether to go Sailing, but decided that we were better off keeping our Judaism option open by going Myst. We will need the tech at some point after all.

[Lewwyn]

By the by, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but we also got a forest growth T50 South of Iliad along the coast.

[Old Harry]

for horses and silver!

Azza could research iron working now if he wanted, so it might be good not to give him a reason. I have a feeling he has five warriors, but I could be wrong. What if he moves SW?

C&D:
I've added in barb cities to the pop spreadsheet, which may fix the fiddle that I was complaining about earlier. There are a couple of likely distributions - either the pop of the world is 77 or 83. Or I've got it wrong. Can you check F8 to see what our percentage of the world pop is when you get a chance?


Also does this agree with the top 5 cities page and what we know of Serdoa and Azza?

Someone got 6000 points of soldier this turn, so I think that there are axes out there now.

Also if you check the world forest coverage column of the natural environment sheet of the first portfolio of the C&D documentation you'll see that I spotted that t50 growth. Keep up!

[Bigger]

I don't see how azza could have 5 warriors. we have a higher power rating than him. and we only have 3 warriors.

woohoo w/ the silver. thats 5 happiness resources we should be able to claim by 7-8 cities. plus HR . I see some tall cities in our future!

[Lewwyn]

Game is still down and I'm off to bed. I can grab this after my classes tomorrow morning, or you can grab it later bigger if you feel comfortable. I haven't decided on tile config for the turn ahead of time though. I need to see it first. I'd be fine working the mine with Gilgamesh's thrid citizen though. Workers both pasture and the other goes 1 South and puts 1T into a road. Warriors kill Azza if he comes closer.

[Bigger]

k. probably will be down for a bit more. anyway if everyone else has played I'll probably take it, otherwise let you have it. I'll be crashing myself about the time you're waking up, so I may not even get the chance to play it anyway.

[Bigger]

the game is up. I didn't play because azza hasn't played yet. If azza plays and you haven't shown up I might grab it, otherwise you can take it .

we've got 10 hours or so and 4 other teams haven't played either.

NP I say let's wait and see about Azza.
