[spoilers] Something something horses - Tasunke of the Hippus

[Sciz]

okay i was making a dotmap and i finished it but while making it i got depressed because all city sites are so bad

desert incense is 0/0/5, it's practically useless. I'm setting my second city as planned though, getting the gold, sheep and cow, but after that I have no idea. All the other spots are lousy, either no food or no production or both. Usually both.

[Sciz]

Wheat farm finished, i'm now tied for first in production and crop yield. Someone has 12000 soldier points compared to my 5000, so they must have a whole bunch of warriors. I completed another scout since my first one got killed by a Lion, and started working on a warrior. My worker Tool will start farming another riverside plains.

Calendar researched:



Work starts on ancient chants, and then Mysticism for God-King. After that Animal Husbandry since I should have my second city at that point maybe idk. I think i'll wait until God-King to revolt to agrarianism, because right now it's only a trade between hammers and food anyways. Or maybe i'll revolt when I have more than one farm.

Curdle the scout continues scouting NW and finds cotton and some hills. I send the turn on and... WAIT WHAT HOLY SHIT



My warrior Reverance had JUST THIS VERY SAME TURN returned to my capital! If I had been ONE turn late, that mistform would've walked into an undefended capital and killed me! Hell I must've been really lucky anyways, since Reverance had no fortification bonus, and mistforms are stronger than warriors. That plains hill saved me, and maybe the Mistform attacked across a river. Still... I had no idea there was a Mistform lurking around. Where the hell did it come from?

IIRC Mistforms can't actually *take* cities. but if one is unlucky, they can keep killing one's units and putting one in a choke and/or vulnerable to normal barbs. You seem to have dodged that particular bullet. Good for you

[Sciz]

awww I forgot that, now it doesn't feel so important anymore

still it was very lucky! Wonder why the mistform didn't take the villager.

I guess it was released from a dungeon or something by another civ, so there should be one nearby. I've only seen dungeons so far though, no lairs or barrows or anything.

[cesium]

Given this and a certain other PBEM, you seem to have a mistform magnet . Good thing you manage to kill them too

[Square Leg]

Amazing!

Mistform - pfft... no more irksome than a Skeleton...

[Sciz]

Bane of Mistform, I am!

Anyways I got this event:



But since there are no huts we have no gold, so instead I got +100 culture in my capital instead, which lead to this:



Selrahc sighting! I sent off a mail to him.

Then my second scout died from a lion attack, even though my scout was ontop of a hill, so he should've had better odds. Oh well. Will probably build another scout after the warrior completes because I don't really have anything else to build right now. Want the cap to grow a size or two before another worker or settler.

So well nothing really happened this turn but somethinf really weird happened

Afters sending the turn, it was like all the points of everyone increased by a weird amount and idk why

I was chekcing the scores and four people have 75 (which i also have, and for me it means 1 tech 2 pops), but only three people have size 3 caps, which im pretty sure is me, irgy and ichabod, so idk how jkaen and dantisky got their point increase

excitement!

Afters sending the turn, it was like all the points of everyone increased by a weird amount and idk why

Only things that give points are pop ( fixed amount, may occasionaly vary by a point due to tounding ), techs ( fixed amount, may occasionaly vary by a point due to rounding ), wonders and land. So take your guess
