[Spoilers] Meiz Polishes his game

[Meiz]

I just finished researching wheel and building a library. I'm heading towards HBR next for ducal stables (they will generate gold for me besides production, and cost no maintenance). I'm also getting my first free policy when it completes.

Settler is ready to settle on next turn. My capital build order should be watermill -> unit -> settler once I grow to size 7.

Stupid barbarians messing up my micro-plans

I should really claim that coastal fish / whales / iron / deer / bananas / stone - city, as it might be a priority for Jkaen as well.

Yes that looks like a prime spot and better connected than the far flung saltspot you planned.

[Meiz]

Well this is a bit embarrassing Well hopefully Azza gets a laugh.



Back at home, watermill just finished and I'm growing to size 7 in 3 turns, just as my spearman finishes. Then it's time for another settler. Barbs are pouring in, but I guess that's the effect of all the empty space we have on this map.

[Meiz]

This is madness!



And here's Azza running away with his überninja religion.



I took oligarchy with my free policy, so I'm just 7 turns away from the tradition finisher bonuses.

[Rowain]

That's a nice big barb-army .
Hopefully the others get the same invasions.

Has your trapped scout survived?

[Meiz]

No, scout was too far away from promotion (for healing), so I had him commit suicide to save money
Meeting Jowy went a step back unfortunately.

My next settler completes in 4 turns. Hopefully I've got some healthy units left to escort him

[Meiz]

Third settler is now on his way towards the eastern shore site. Capital will get ducal stables in 3 turns, and then I should go for my third worker. I think I might go for the silver spot as city #4.

Researching simply towards civil service at the moment, although I need to slot Sailing somewhere in between.

[Meiz]

In case Jkaen stopped updating his thread, he built the great library. I could get hanging gardens in 8 turns, but I've got more pressing need for a worker, then military and a settler for the silver spot. I should then start to focus on getting National college up and running.

[Meiz]

I had to change my settling plans a bit, due to barb archer annoyingly moving on top of my spot.
