Or could you be interested in the Egypt plan that I floated?

[Spoiler PB62] Vanrober in a new chapter learning from Miguelito

With China, maybe research BW straight, pull a double worker opening, and chop that settler at size 2? The second worker should take just 8 turns. Don't know if this also works with Egypt our settings here. Might also be that it burns through too many forests and we should rather grow and whip
I was thinking in china actually. Having agri plus mining will allow us go into BW right the way. Also it reminds me the pick of noble in pb56, before that i thought xhina would anly fit with a PRO leader.
I think egypt is too slow we would need mining and bronzeworking. Its true that china would need wheel but not as one of the first tech i think. I dont remember the plan with egypt (September 27th, 2021, 15:03)Miguelito Wrote: With China, maybe research BW straight, pull a double worker opening, and chop that settler at size 2?

Egypt plan was rather simple, shrine Confu with an obelisk, profit. That way you get a shrine but can still avoid the religious line, whole getting a fast and easy prophet.
Meanwhile enjoy early security from War Chariots, with the option of an early conquest attempt if we start by the right neighbour. How much do Mining/Agri/BW cost with these settings?

I don't like Oracle with Cre, because that whole tech branch is pretty uninteresting for us, and it's a distraction. Just beeline CoL through Currency straight, with sailing as the only possible off path tech. An obelisk is 15h in one city, so shrug? And actually, 3 culture in a border city can be significantly more annoying to a neighbour than 2. But of course we wouldn't build very many. And you have to decide if you even want a shrine. I think I've never built one in MP.
I like the one of pb60 and pb61 we did. But i dont think its essential. I think this map will be small so i dont really think it will be good. PB 60 and PB59 are big maps so the shrines get better there, not sure if this would be a good map for it.
Getting col either way is something we want since we are org so i dont think its anyhow a bad option.

Yeah, the question is just whether we want the shrine. I don't think there's a good way to get one without Egypt (Or Arabia lol). Because you don't want early priesthood, and then you already built a library and want to get your GA scientist, and then you can only hope for a low odds prophet. (Actually, with Egypt maybe Academy->shrine->GA could work? You'd need 2 cities, one doing the scientist while the other one gets started on the prophet, then the first one works 4 specialists to get the 300GPP GP for the GA. That does tie up a lot of citizens as specialists though)
