BaII cleans up THH's mess [spoilers!]

[TheHumanHydra]

Turn 19 report:

Contact! I met Viqsi's scout diagonally across from where I moved. She named her civilization the Pho'ni Empire.



Also, the Worker finished at the end of the turn. Time for a Corny joke ... get it?!??

[TheHumanHydra]

Turn 20 report:

The Worker finished and went to farm the Corn. I started on a Warrior. Sending the Scout so far north was definitely a mistake - now I need a Warrior to scout out the east; if the Scout had been available, I could have gone straight on to a Settler.

[Sian]

might just be personal preferences but i prefer growing to size 4 before starting the settler, revolting to slavery just after the warrior is made, and then whipping the settler asap

[TheHumanHydra]

So maybe it'll work out anyway.

For Turn 21, here's a picture of the work proceeding about Armenelos apace:

Turn 23

Okay, some interesting things happened this turn.

First, I met another player - Sareln:



Note the scores - this'll be important in a minute.

At the end of the turn, I discovered Bronze Working. Here is the only source of Copper revealed thus far:



Notice how Viqsi's score shot up when I ended the turn. How is that possible? It's not her turn!

[Sian]

I'd really like sending the warrior to the hill to the Northeast of your capital first ... unless theres something very interesting out in the waters (demanding a settlement on that hill) i'd settle 1e of the copper (stealing the capital corn)

[TheHumanHydra]

Yes, that's what I was planning on for the Warrior too. I hadn't thought about stealing Armenelos' corn - that would solve some of the problems I was having trying to place that city.

[Sian]

only other placement would be 1n which have a mere clam ... not great by any stretch of imagination, but strategically important

[TheHumanHydra]

Not many hammers there, though. That's what I was worried about.

[Sian]

it would probably end up getting cottaged, and for infrastructure i'd say that while not breathtaking then a coppermine and the extra hammer from settling on Plain Hill would work.

But lets not discuss the color of the chickens before they hatch ...
