[SPOILER] PB XYZ with the reddit guys (EitB last days)

I'll go with the consensus of Agriculture->Crafting->Mining. Calendar only gives you +2 food (+3 if you farm the wine), and greatly delays the other two techs that will actually give you a commerce boost.

I'd send the starting warrior to stand on the ruins to the south. Lizardmen are a pain, and really mess with your workers.

There's a good chance that the clearing to the SW contains an unseen resource (horse, copper, mithril, etc.). If the forest grows over the top of it at some point, then I was wrong.

Just to be clear...
My question was:
go crafting -> mining -> agriculture
or agriculture -> crafting -> mining

I guess Jonas starts with Ancient Chants?

Jonas starts with no techs whatsoever, like a true barbarian.

And a few weeks later I got the server info etc. I'll get another message when it's my turn to play.

[Yell0w]

Sooo, we got premade gobo castles XD

And a lot of lairs and dungeons, on the one hand it'll give them XP and possibly a good pop. On the other hand they'll have a barb problem, I won't.

I think this will be a very funny game judging from what I can see so far =)

Please turn on resource indicators for screenshots mate. The goblin forts are definitely a very good early indication!

Great. You should be guaranteed a bounty of Goblin Archers to keep you safe.

Or, better yet, to choke everyone with & steal their huts

Yeh, I'll do it like Ellimist and pop WS on turn 5

I'm inclined to go Crafting first here, Considering two Wines and 1 gold and a lot of forests.

I'll got either +3 food or +2 food and +10 commerce there ain't a lot of tiles that can be farmed, two to be exact 1 wet Corn and 1 grassland river.

Crafting->Agriculture->Mining

or

Sorry, forgot, will be turned on in the next SC

What? Choke your neighbors? How uncivilized! You should be a peaceful nation, helping keep the scourge of war away from this land!
