Chairmen NobleHelium and Gaspar Demand Your Presence in the Collective

2 Bows complete next turn from overflow, so we should be fine if our dear friend Lewwyn decides to annoy us again.

Any chance of snagging that tundra city from Lewwyn with them?

Its been discussed.

I mean we'll probably move them into the tundra as the closeness of Lewwyn basically requires sentries in the area. If we get them out there and hes got a warrior defending the city, well... why wouldn't we?

[Gaspar]

Two things.

1. I edited the City Names into the first post as a quick reference, especially as we'll be needing three very soon. I think I like Port Yang and Deep Community for the two island sites.

2. I didn't fully play the turn, just popped it open and poked about, but we'll have something interesting to talk about when we settle the stone site.

Anyone care to guess what I saw?

Yeah, but mine doesn't count.

So, this was probably the best turn we've had all game. Unfortunately, I have to half-ass the report a bit because I'm exhausted. But let's at least give you a glimpse. First, we settled Factory Drift on the stone. Settling revealed this:



So that's a bit more than an island, yes? NH speculated that via canals it would be a pre-Astronomy way of boating our rivals. Additionally, the one nice thing about Pro is there's real advantage in settling things first, since its a lot harder to wrest cities from defensively promoted units behind walls.

Then we moved our galley for gold in the north and discovered this:



Gee, that looks familiar, no?

We banged out a couple bowmen with overflow that complete at end of turn. Following turn we'll have 2 more. Then we'll have 4 Bowmen. Where should we put them, ho ho ho?



The Furs/Sheep city founds next turn, Gold the turn after that.



In the middle, exploration revealed little.



Likewise in the tundra.



Then, I hit end turn and...



Popped one! That yield will come in handy, friends.

Good report.

Ooh, my, that is nice.

I think, if I counted tiles correctly from the 4 different screenshots I used, that those wheats are 20 tiles apart. Which means it's not the same island. Any chance you can grab them both? .
