[Spoilers] Wang Kon of the Incans, or why I hate building monuments, by Krill

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Mor updatz plz!!!

[Krill]

I'm not updating every turn, as I'm circling the capital. Next time a decision has to be made, ie when the hell I build a settler, then I'll post. Early game is, sometimes, rather boring. I'm definitely not aiming for PBEM17 level start MM for a while.

That said I do have something really, really uninteresting for Square Leg.

22:52 Krill: You need to check PBEM20

ifyou want to laugh

22:54 me: you are going to build stonehenge aren't you?

Krill: it just makes sense....

[pindicator]

If you are inca, is the main reason for stonehenge a cheap source of priest gp points? Or is the faster border expansion more important in your view? -- hard to think it would be that since you have terraces but i am curious.

[Krill]

Well, the former is the main reason for building it, but I'm not complaining about the latter.

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Too bad it's not possible to build The Great Canning Plant if you have whales.

[Krill]

Found mh to the north.

[Krill]

Yuris. Pretty close, and it's going to be hard to figure out where to plant a city that is defensible, and useful.




mh warrior, he could possibly declare war and camp on the forest in an attempt to block off expansion to the important nexus between our lands. Or just bugger off, either is possible.




The nexus, I think I want to settle 1SE of the rice for a great defensive city. Could feasibly get the wines in a third ring border pop because that'd be a hard area to hold for either of us if I got the 1SE city.




This is why mh declaring war is not perhaps the wisest decision.





Nice stats. Someone settled their second city on t24, but no one else has a second city yet, and I'm due to settle mine on t28 for the wheat/gems/whales city to the west. or maybe not for the whales, yuris' capital is giving me pause for thought.

Wow, who stole Krill and replaced him with Darrell? Go settle 1SE of the grasshill sheep and tell yuris to do something about it.

[Krill]

1. There's a hill between the city and yuris.
   
   
2. I don't want to piss off people I might end up tech trading with.
   
   
3. Settling towards mh is more important for defending multiple areas.
   
   
4. That's a bit far, even for me.
   
   
5. That's a pig.

The best FU throwaway city is 2N1E or 2NE of the pig, and a proper city 2W1n of the wheat.
