Turn 52 (920BC)

Nigel Martyn: moved 1NE
Paul Hinshelwood: move 1S

can now see each other over a bit of water, but cannot see if I got Circumnavigate achievement or not

Freedman: finished Mine
Pulis: finished road on Cow Pasture 1
Pardew: put turn into Sheep Pasture
Holloway: finished Cow Pasture 2

Dammit! I think I can safely assume Khan took Code of Laws as Confucianism was founded this turn. Surely no-one else is on the same tech passage as me? Ah yes, Maths finishes next turn.

Oh, apparently we met bob at some stage; have switch EPs over to him.

Maths came in at end of turn!

Turn 55 (800BC)

Nigel Martyn: moved 1S (near some light blue culture; forgot to check if it's Bob or Sian)
Paul Hinshelwood: moved 1SE (again, near some light blue culture; forgot to check if it's Bob or Sian)

Pardew: finished Road on Sheep Pasture
Pulis: put a turn of Chop into a Forest
Holloway: finished Cottage
Freedman: put a turn of Chop into a Forest

Rick Parfitt built George Burley (Worker 5) who moved to Tundra tile to Road & Cottage & created route between Rick Parfitt & Alan Lancaster

Rick Parfitt is now building Settler for Rhino Edwards spot on Coastal Flood-Plains. Pulis Chop to go into this build before it's whipped down to size 2. Set to grow back on a Library.

Alan Lancaster is 3 turns from completing Granary. Will build a Worker (Neil Warnock) & a Settler (site to be determined) which will be Chopped into & whipped out. Grow back slowly on Workboat & Library.

Francis Rossi is still building a Worker (Paul Hart). Will follow with Settler for Sheep/Clams/Dyes city of John Coughlan which will receive Freedman's Chop & be whipped back to size 2. Grow back on 3 Axemen for new cities.

Turn 56 (760BC)

Nigel Martyn: moved 1S - it's Sian's culture he can see
Paul Hinshelwood: moved 1E - it's also Sian's culture he can see

Pardew: put a turn into a Cottage
Pulis: finished the chop into the Settler at Rick Parfitt - kind of cocked up it's timing as the whip is available on the last turn - might as well spam out another Settler & whip it when it comes available & grow back on the Library
Holloway: moved onto a Hill to Mine it
Freedman: put a turn into a Road as near Rhino site
Burley: put a turn into a Cottage

Think I'm going to have to let Chris Coleman & Neil Ruddock go walkabout to find new city-sites

[gingereagle1969]

Turn 57 (720BC)

Nigel Martyn: moved 1W; there's no way through to the south.
Paul Hinshelwood: moved 1E; skirting around sian's culture
Chris Coleman: moved 1SE from Rick Parfitt
Neil Ruddock: move 1NW from Francis Rossi

Pardew: finished Cottage
Pulis:moved to Road to revised city site (see below)
Hollowayut a turn into a Mine
Freedman: finished the Road
Burley: put a turn into Cottage on Tundra
Paul Hart finished at end of turn; will help finish improving Francis Rossi before John Coughlan is settled on revised site (see below)

I can see Khan's culture bleed from both Rick Parfitt & Alan Lancaster! This threatens the site originally reserved for John Coughlan, so I'm changing the order of settlement so Rhino Edwards will be the Sheep/Clams/Dyes site. I could settle on the Sheep if I have to but I could be also aggressive and take my original site choice right up against his bleed & have a culture war!

Turn 58 (680BC)

Nigel Martyn: moved 1NW
Paul Hinshelwood: moved 1E
Chris Coleman: moved 1SE to cover Settler's advance
Neil Ruddock: moved 1N

Yes, my cities are undefended. Don't tell Bob as he's on my southern border

Pardew: moved away from Bob's warrior onto a hill to Chop/Mine
Pulis: moved to start Road to Rhino Edwards site (near Khan - I'm chickening out of putting it too close and settling on the sheep for faster growth)
Holloway: put a turn into a Mine
Freedman: finished Chop into Settler building at Francis Rossi
Burley: put a turn into Cottage on Tundra
Hart: moved onto a Hill ready to Road, maybe Chop and Mine

[gingereagle1969]

Turn 59 (640BC)

After an error where he sent me his turn instead of mine, opened the turn to find Bob left a request for open borders. I've accepted, hope it doesn't come back to bite me!

Pardew: put a turn into a Chop
Pulis: put a turn into a Road
Holloway: finished a Mine
Freedman: : put a turn into a Cottage
Burley: finished Cottage on Tundra
Hart: : put a turn into a Road

Whipped the Settler for Roy Lynes (it's the keyboards next, not the drummers) & Francis Rossi will re-grow on a series of Axes

Nigel Martyn: moved 1NW
Paul Hinshelwood: moved 1E
Chris Coleman: moved 1E onto Sheep Hill ready for settlement of John "Rhino" Edwards. Can see Khan's worker has finished a Sheep Pasture in what will be my BFC. Thank you, I'll claim it later!
Neil Ruddock: moved 1N

Suddenly remembered and checked Rick Parfitt at end of turn. May have missed whipping the Settler for Andy Bown (Silver City north of the Horse) this turn, but it'll be able to do so next turn. Regrow back on Library.

Turn 60 (600BC)

Nigel Martyn: 1NW
Paul Hinshelwood: 1SE
Chris Coleman: 1E
Neil Ruddock: 1N

Pardew: put a turn into a Chop
Pulis: finished Road
Holloway: moved to another Hill to Mine
Freedman: moved onto the Horse
Burley: put a turn into a Road
Hart: finished Road

Settled Rhino Edwards on top of the Sheep. Settler moved from Francis Rossi to Roy Lynes site. Whipped Settler in Rick Parfitt for the Andy Bown site. Settler building in Alan Lancaster for the John Coughlan site (to be determined). Erm, I've killed my tech rate with this rexing though. Going to be a while to recover, me thinks.
