[SPOILERS] Tatan, CFCJester and Nakor try their hand at Mansu of India...

T74..The fine blocking city of CC got founded (short for Chevy Chase). Possible that Serdoa's WB might now be trapped. We should get graphs on Serdoa next turn. Also, Space is now putting all his points on us. The demos after settling...

Not great but reassuring that our pop is getting better relative to our opponents. We finally started working our first cottage. Went ahead and ended turn.

Great I seriously hope we have iron. Our military situtation doesn't look that fantastic at the moment.

[Nakor]

Well, we can build chariots. I'm pretty sure we should have Iron somewhere. The map has been checked for balance purpose.

[Nakor]

And we have a new turn.
The barb warrior next to CC suicided against one of our warriors, thankfully!

I configured FoF so that we can get both the WB and IW next turn, but I'm sure that's not what the sandbox wants us to do.
Swapped EP's to Space. Serdoa does have a lot more military, but then again, who doesn't.

Moved Dora but nothing else, so feel free to end turn after playing.

Actually, that was exactly the plan. The only tweak I made was to work the cottage instead of the corn. We can work the cottage without slowing down the worker and following settler.

I meant to ask you about ep. I figured we wanted to switch ep to Space but wasn't sure. I assume we want to keep graphs on Serdoa? Isn't keeping graphs considered "non-threatening" (i.e. what our opponents would typically expect) in mp? Went ahead and ended turn. Turn pics in the next post.

T76..

We have the most land area of the opponents we have met. Interesting that Uxmal doesn't have any culture yet. The top 5 cities...

I don't understand why Space didn't try for Stonehenge since he wants monuments in every city (+1 happy for Charismatic leaders). I don't remember if Space had any happy resources (going to have to re-check that next turn), but the fact One Fish is at sz 8 suggests he has both a monument and a religion in One Fish. The demos...

The worker near SM finished chopping out our first chariot and that along with finishing IW will add 14000 soldier points next turn. Alas, we'll still be at the bottom (but maybe not dead last). On the bright side, both pop and GNP and decent.

RB Mod changes this - CHM just gives 2 happies

[UnforcedError]

We have plenty of CHA leaders on the map so some of them will have to build their monuments one by one...

Edit: Cross-post with regoarrarr: right, I forgot that as well, thanks So size 8 looks normal then.

[Nakor]

And do we have Iron?



That's a pretty decent spot since we plan to settle it soon anyway.
Haven't moved anything else. I do think we should promote the warrior.

Feel free to end turn after playing.
