[SPOILERS - PBEM17] regoarrarr - Bismarck of Inca

Okay - that's enough to explore to the SW I think before we have to commit to the second city site - so I vote to continue exploring to the east

[Cyneheard]

Since the demographics (not shown) don't show a power increase, there are only two possibilities for what Novice could have teched:
1) Agriculture
2) Fishing (He has Mysticism, and in 6t could only get 66 beakers. There was enough time to get Meditation, but we'd know if that had happened)

Since he has 0 water tiles, he teched Agriculture.

[Cyneheard]

Anything from T6?

T7 is "Switch Back To Corn" turn.

[regoarrarr]

Yeah I played this morning before church but the pictures wouldn't copy right





There was a power increase, and food to the east.

And roger on swapping back to corn

C&D Report, T6

Two techs were completed. One of Darrell and StM gained 2k in power to 8k (both started at 6k).

Darrell had 6t (so, 66 beakers, or 78b if pushing a tech w/ a pre-req) of research (Agri/Wheel start), so that gives room for:
0k power: Mysticism, Pottery, Fishing
2k power: Mining, Hunting

StM only had 5t (Agri/Wheel start, as well: 55b/65b for Pottery/AH) of research:
0k: Mysticism, Fishing
2k: Mining, Hunting

Fishing makes no sense, and I have a hard time seeing Mysticism as the first tech for either of them, especially StM. So my best guesses:
StM: Mining
Darrell: Pottery

Why Pottery so early, though? He's not Exp for a fast Granary, and food comes before cottages, at least for the 1st and 2nd tile. I'm not convinced we're right.

[regoarrarr]

As discussed, Kyan probably just completed Animal Husbandry

T10 played, still farming the wheat and building a quechua.

Our quechua found the end of the continent and no (additional) resources out in the fog. Soldiers still 5500 and someone has a 20 GNP (non river tile, pre-req tech I guess)

[regoarrarr]

And yes I do realize that darrell has a large multiple of my thread posts.

Are you still planning to settle 1 west of the wheat? 1 north of the wheat might be better, to let you hook up the fish sooner.

Yeah I was thinking 1N of the Wheat last night as well. Depends on the overall dotmap.

Another advantage of 1N of the wheat is that it's a better option if we need to fight for cultural control of the fish vs. a city on the other continent
