In case anyone wonders

A rough estimate for MOM is EOT68

[Alhazard]

Need to redo all my sims now




THH teched AH like us

[Alhazard]

Ok change of plans, I will still get the galley and WB after whipping 3rd settler but that settler will go to the desert hill. I am really not comfortable leaving the island w/o WCs and this means I can have the main cities build something more useful than warriors, like obelisks.

[Alhazard]

Well that sim didnt go that well. Off the island T42 or bust. Hope there are no barbs in the landing zone...

[Alhazard]

Note to self: after revolting try growing to 6 and 3 slave 2nd settler.

Guess on current research:
Mardoc AH, THH TW, Miguelito AH

[Alhazard]

Actually forget that. Everyone should be working the FP so I have no idea why all the GNPs are not in odd numbers.

[Alhazard]

ok tried whipping and Im definitely way too slow on settling.

The 1st city will have to goto the plains hill. It can make 2 warriors then work the deer and a grasshill mine to make 4T workers at size 2. It will have to make 1 worker (EDIT: 1.5) then 3T obelisk if copper is where I think it is. Then it can make 2 workers then build a WB for its own fish, a scout WB then galley for Marble city. I don't ever plan on whipping this city and we might be capped at 4 happy for a while so I likely won't build a granary until we can raise the happy cap and other cities can start whipping workers.

City 3 has to pickup the horses. B site gets it faster but I actually like the A site more now that I played around with it. A site is built 1T faster, can share more tiles with capital and relatively safe from boating if the game ever gets that far. Downside is that it probably needs to steal the sheep later on to grow. With either site, it will have to work the cottage E of sheep for a long time so I can tech Writing just as I whip 4th settler to overflow into a library so it will be weak initially as well.

City 4 is headed to the plains hill S of crabs. I will send 2 warriors there to guard then ship settler and scout. City is built the same turn I get the WB to net crabs. I will likely only send 1 worker since it probably has to whip a couple of WCs and won't grow that fast to outstrip tiles to work.

City 5 is likely at the desert hill and I am really hoping to find any seafood in the fogged tile. We will see tomorrow I guess...
