Ha! I can do a T36 (end of turn) Oracle!

34 overflow from a worker chop
9 base production
26 from forest chops

For the tidy total of 69 * 1.5, or 103 hammers.

Worker 3: move S on road + mine (T32) -> move forest (T33) -> chop (T36)

Settler: SW (T25) -> move and settle 1SW of silver (T26)

I should be able to get this to a eot 35 Oracle - just need to get my chops to come in T35 instead of T36.

99/100 into the Oracle on T35... so close now...

[kjn]

Success!

Worker and Argiculture first should be even better ...

[Commodore]

I think this is the plan for giving the sandbox nice stout walls, though. I like how with Mali that's as easy as "tech archery".

[kjn]

I tried that. I found that this opening gave more improved tiles faster, and more military options.

T2 - 3880 BC

Renamed my warriors to old soldier names. I'm starting with the parishes of Lekaryd and Aringsås. Changed my civ description.

Continued NE and S with the warriors. Turned off the governor. Hit end turn, and got lots of new map data.



Demos:

Nothing surprising, they've all expanded borders now, uses their governors so they're on the ivory all of them, and building a worker. I'm the crazy guy who goes warrior-WB!
