How's scouting going? I've been thinking and it would be really helpful to find a site which claims additional food. The FP are good but require cottaging, all maybe more of a third city? I'd even consider the clams, although that city can help little with capital cottages. Mostly still hoping for an early food resource w of the cows.

I found so much nothing that I didn't even bother to take pictures. Lots of forests though. Next turn will be big as I'll be scouting W of the cow for a cow sharing site. Good news : WB is out now.

Finally something interesting showed up ! E of the scout could make an acceptable second city.




You asked for a demo shot :




But of course WB first is rarely great. As you see we're getting BW one turn after the worker, I plan on chopping a second WB before hooking the cow. But not sure yet, I'll have to sim it again.

that's good. I would also consider NE of the scout, to have the city at least grow one capital cottage. Should we found the second city elsewhere the triple (or maybe even more?) food could make for a nice GP farm (or Globe Theater drafting town - we get cheap theatres right?)

Miguelito can I ask you a favor ? I don't think I'll have the time to sim the different possibilities, could you do it for me ? The worker can either chop into a second WB (then warrior->settler or directly settler), chop into a settler (city builds warrior to grow, when the chop comes put it into a settler) or pasture the cow (city building a warrior) before chopping into the settler.

When do we need to know? And have you set up a sandbox already? I might be able to do it tonight, more probably tomorrow night. Also, any thoughts on when to revolt to slavery?

We need to know in 5 days at this rate. Sandbox is post 25. Slavery ASAP is probably best but it wouldn't hurt to test other options.

5 days should be disable.

Tech order post BW? I'd go for wheel, then either straight to pottery -> writing or Agri first for prereq bonuses (I'll see if that delays cottaging)

Well wheel is 100% the best choice. Then it depends on where city n°2 is, if there's grain SE agri first, if we settle near the ivory AH before writing.
