Spoilers- Superdeath prays that the RNG gods be kind.

Ill have 2 CG archers and a (wounded) spear + a warrior that can be promoted if need be for the plant in two turns. Ill also have a road finished before planting, and have the fish hooked the turn after. Feeling confident.

Silk city's settler is popping in 3t and will rush down there to seal off the land border between us. I hope the peace lasts until i bulb guilds of course.



Any questions?

[superdeath]

No questions!

Only answers:



This is my garrison for my first border city. Worker roaded the rice tile, and will begin chopping next turn as the worker on the forest completes a road allowing the C3 warrior to enter the new city and if need be can be upgraded to a axe/spear as needed. Plan is to chop into the granary, whip the academy at size 2, then whip the granary at size 2. Is it optimal? I hope so lol.



Im 400k population points behind Rusten who is the population leader and probably crop yield as well. 3rd in production tho!   

[superdeath]

Planting there screws with my settlings plans enough that ive decided to actually use my combo. The city will burn.



2nd in production behind i assume Rusten. Lets use those hammers shall we?



2-3t swords from my top 3 cities + an axe or two and a spear as cover? Yeah, that city falls. Its not even that great of a plant, he seems to just want to plant a hill city in return? Either way im fine with burning it and then being friends the rest of the game ( that he has to live   )

[superdeath]

Going to have 7-8 3 promo swords to use ( more if i REALLY wanted ) to burn down that really shitty city. If i didnt already have plans for my galley i would have loaded two swords on that to go and burn his other city. Still might do that if i get the urge, but i want this to be as limited as possible.



Also calculated how long it will take for him to pop borders, and although ill lose the grassland tile to his southern city, i swapped to myst to grab a monument in 3-4 turns to beat his other city to getting culture on that Peak, which will be crucial to getting to attack his city with the least amount of warning

[superdeath]

t100!


Demos arent what i want them to be, but i dont see them getting all that much better except maybe GNP, in the near future. 



In 20 turns, i expect to have another 7+ cities.



Capital. Will pop a Gmerchant in 14t which i can either save for guilds, or bulb Civil service. Im probably going to save it. Capital will back to back build 1t swords, followed by the rest of those swords.... followed by workboat-galley, settler spam. America must manifest destiny!



This city will be getting a desert mine ( eww ) and will turn off avoid growth in a couple turns. Might change out the archer/settler for spear/axes if i need to defend the front.



Future Moai city once i settle the stone, for now it will probably rotate between units and settlers.



Growing onto cottages has come to an end here. Will probably finish the library, then be on wealth/workboat builds.



will swap back to just one citizen "specialist" next turn and whip the granary in 2t after that. Otherwise fairly straightforward city. Whip lighthouse, whip library, grow onto all that coast.



More filler than i would have liked, but this city was important in getting that wheat up and running for the cottage city to make use of. Will grow onto another Dyes, and then work coast/cottage.



Chop comes in soon which will go into the lighthouse, which will be whipped. Library might be whipped, or just slow built with the copper mine. Will probably build a cottage where the forest is.



The cottage city. Will likely be a semi-hybrid city with just enough hammers ( if i dont just cottage all those green hills... ) to build archers for my cities.



Whipping monument ASAP to control the peak, Will eventually be a pretty nice commerce/hammer hybrid down the line.

Any questions?

Will you put Moai at Bart Trinke?

Will you put Moai at Bart Trinke?

Nah, way to exposed and i feel my 3rd city is a better fit for it especially once i get HR. Id love to have it in that city due to the lakes, but it couldnt build it at any reasonable rate.

[superdeath]

Looking at it, i DO like Moai at that city.. has more lakes that it COULD use in the dream scenario where it has those tiles.. BUT, a size like 18 moai city working double horse along with other fun stuff for extra production, would pump out alot of ships.

Demos are too depressing right now. Just know that im 3rd in population, working practically NO coast... and about 150 food behind Rusten. I assume ( because im not going to go back and track it ) Rusten/OH are at like 15+ cities all working irrigated corn or something. 4th in production though!!






Elkad met me, and will probably have to run through my borders. Currency-Alphabet might become a priority once i figure out who owns this piece of land to my west.

[superdeath]

That looks like some special corn



Looks like a fairly decent city ill be planting on that hill with the fish/iron/cow ( can steal copper ) maybe some other goodies in the fog?



sheep + crab? i think to the south of that tile.. will be a whipping station for my naval empire.



3t till im done making swords, going to march that over and see if i can burn the city, and replace it on my hill. Ill hopefully be able to do that, and remain at peace with DS till knights anyway.. Thats the "plan" but as with life, i expect the worst.

[superdeath]

Doot Doot.



Ignore everything else please



Last two swords pop, and ill be popping a chariot out of another city to maybe snipe a pesky axe, plus ill have two axes joining the stack. Ill be able to road and give only a single turn of warning to Dark Savant, in exchange ill be attacking across a river.. BUT i have enough swords that it "shouldnt" matter.



ALERT ALERT Borsche is my western neighbor. Looks like he might be trying to settle this little island that i was hoping to get to.. Hope that galley isnt loaded with any units because im settling the 2tile island between this bigger island and my mainland in two turns.



Everyone ive met so far.

So, thoughts:

Commodores power seems to be leaping up higher than mine last i checked, and he is continuing to put EP into me, so i expect a galley or two of bullshit from him. i have my two island cities to the east whipping archers in 2, and 3t respectively. I don't trust Commodore to not try and keep a peaceful border. Not opposed to tilting and building galleys/swords and burning every coastal city he has if he tries to burn my island cities down. Ill try and keep my cool till i see 3-4 galleys worth of Grade A shit.

Dark Savant has been keeping an eye on the border with his scout, i have border pops that wont quite close the border between my cities, so he will be able to sniff this attack out if i let him. Ill probably kill his scout if he gets a lucky move before the attack.

Borsche burned a city of someones if i remember PBSPY correctly, so im going to reinforce those cities on the west coast with at least 2 archers once i can spare the build queues.

No idea where Elkad or Rusten are. Havent had the time to really be exploring.
