[SPOILERS-PBEM15] Jkaen is Hannibal of Zululand

[Jkaen]

Continuing scouting across in the NE



The rice farm finished at the start of this turn, the city will grow and BW come in at the end.

After ending the turn I didn't see any bronze appear, do I need to wait until next turn for it to show, or am I screwed for impi?

Demographics before ending turn

[Square Leg]

There are a good selection of resources up there but most a re jungled which is a shame.

With BW finishing when you pressed enter - did you spot copper anywhere?

[Jkaen]

not a flake

[Square Leg]

Hmm...

I suppose there is still room near the capital that hasn't been explored yet but if you don't find any it might be worth considering tech AH to see if you have some horsies! neigh!

[Jkaen]

I dropped onto page 2, the shame !

I present you with a big map showing not a single piece of copper anywhere in sight



Along with a closer view of the land around my city. Will probably make my warrior pop down a few squares to check the land does end south of me when he is finished



Demos

The more I think about this, the more I am convinced the map maker would not have screwed me over and given me no copper, so I must just have missed exposing it somehow. So I still hold out hope if I wander south a bit, then to my west it will pop into view and all will be good with the world once again

hmm - looking at the big map it seems you could have easily missed coppers location.

Rather than using your warrior at the capital to explore south, I would move him to the west to check the area there. It seems quite likely that the south closes off and so I think you'll get better map awareness from looking in the west. It will be easier to draw up a decent dot map with that information too.

Keep exploring! :neenernee

[Jkaen]

I am trying to remember, but I think the water east of the rice is coast and not lake, will check. Also if you look at the city map shot you can see coastline in the fog, hence I dont expect much land W until I reach the dyes

[Jkaen]

Well, the exploration goes on, and still no sign of copper yet, but AH has just come in, so fingers crossed !



So at least we have horses which is something

[Jkaen]

Meant to add, timed the chop of the forest to land next turn when I start on a settler, hopefully will get that out quickly

I am guessing I will go roads next
