[SPOILERS] Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony on another PG-13 adventure!

[Halvgud]

Turn has been taken care of. For a moment I worried that I had made a wrong move with Applejack, but t22 camp is underway as planned. Commodore has spotted a murder of lions, and this:

It's a matter of speed vs long term growth. If we get it two turns earlier, then we are going to get other things slower. The choice is yours. If you want to go for speed, then go for it, but then you won't be able to mine the hill when the worker is ready to do so. What will then need to be done is some roading, but at this stage it is a bit inefficient to do that. So the option is delay mines for a short while or delay starting the Henge but only get it a few turns later. But it looks by now we are stuck on this path.

I am doing a fuller test on this path and trying to put everything down, but MM is such a trouble to do if you play just a single game. For MP it is easier since you can only move one turn a day.
My tech path is Hunting-AH-Mining-Mysticism- Pottery-Fishing-Writig- Masonry- Maths. The main point was to get the chopping bonus, but in getting the Mids, I got Maths the turn after the last chop and whipp, so it is not needed an considering we are getting a Great Prophet soon, if we can't research a religion, we will need to bulb Theology, so thus it is important for us to get the religious techs before we get Maths, IMHO. My worker usage isn't quite as effiecient as it could be so we can work on that.

I have added the test save after I got the Mids in the dropbox. Do you have Open Office? I so then I can send you the spreadsheet of the moves and citizen placement.

I moved the scout further west, but I think we should be moving back towards th capital and making sure we are scouting the areas close to that before we move further forward.

Here is the demographic screen.

MM/MP? MicroManagement/Multiplayer?

Hmm you say a good word there. I was concerned about the possibility of instant monuments in every city. Giving us culture expansion in future settlements. However, slow expansion is a bigger danger in the long run.

Are we stuck on the speed by going for the t22 camp?

Yes.

Well if we lose the Henge, then we get some fail gold, which is decent enough. Yeah part of getting the henge is to make it easier to expand, plus we get a +1 for it, so it is not that bad for us to get. To get it fast enough we need to grow to size 5 quickly and work as many hammers as possible to get it quickly. I am worried we might not get the Mids in time though. We won't be the only team trying for it and others have Industrious to get it faster and if they have a resource it will be even faster. So it is worry we might not get it.

Well the point of doing the camp without a road is that then we can get the mine building

[classical_hero]

From the screen we can see that a team has BW (from the soldiers number) and they are in anarchy, since one team is at 1 GNP. There are 5 teams with city sizes of 3 and they look like to be working a 5tile and a 3 tile and a 2 tile and some teams could be working a sea tile by the GNP results. Judging from life Expectancy it looks like one team isn't by a river, most probably the team that settled on turn 2.

[classical_hero]

Things after getting the Henge are a bit dicey after that and since we don't know where the copper is right now things can change, but here is a plan that I managed to get the Mids on turn 90, a full 3 turns earlier. I had to rush a few chariots as barbs were threatening our cities. Hopefully having copper nearby would make it easier on us, but for the moment horses will be sufficient.

[classical_hero]

I move Commodore a further west and this is what he found.

He found some more sheep and for movement I think we should move a bit more further west for one turn and then see should start head South east, in that general direction, obviously we should be doing our best to stay safe on a forest or on some hills.

Here is the Dmeographics from this turn.

[classical_hero]

We got a nice 13 point jump when the turn ticked over. Nice.

[classical_hero]

I moved the scout 7-1 (NW-SW) and this is what I found. We are just seeing more and more good land. There is a wolf nearby that more than likely will attack and thus we get a promotion next turn. If that does happen we should go for woodsman so that we are even safer in forests.


Here is the demographics for this turn.

As you can see we are now second in food, so that means some one is working three tiles of big food, so they are getting a great bonus in that, but they are still only at size three, so I am thinking that if we got similar starts then they are working sea resource. Our GNP is terrible right now, but that will rise once we get the Henge. Since their are two Cre teams they have expanded their borders and thus they have more land than anyone else in the game.
