RP Pitboss #2 [SPOILERS] - Darius I of the Holy Roman Empire

[DMOC]

Nakor - I finall ygot some time alone, so I'm going to check the game to see what the worker should do.

[DMOC]

Nakor I didn't end turn, since I've been out of the loop a bit and wanted to make sure we're on the same page here.

I finally got to log in the game. Man, where have I been?

Anyway, to you lurkers, here are some screenshots.

Demographics (a bit early though):



And we have my proposed worker action: Go to rice, then on the forested hill, then chop (just in time for the settler). Furthermore, after chopping, the worker can road that hill and then the tile to the "9" of it, to accelerate settler movement.



Our capital, following our max. prod build. The alternative is the second screenshot. I prefer the first alternative as I rate getting the workboat a turn sooner higher.




Once again Nakor, agree with my plan? Have an other idea? I'm open to suggestions. I can also finish the turn if you need (after moving the worker of course).

[Nakor]

Hi DMOC,

Worker to the hill looks good. Chop will go into the settler.
People are whipping already as you can see from the score decrease on civstats.

I think we swap into Slavery once BW gets in OR once the WB is finished and Rolan has grown to size 4. What do you think?

What promotion do we give our northern warrior? Woodsman I?

And have you seen how great that fur tile with a forest is! I think we should NEVER chop that forest...

[Nakor]

Finally got the NAP deal with Dantski:

To Nakor/DMOC

Have you come to a decsion regarding my NAP proposal?

Here are the terms

- 50 turn NAP to begin once both sides agree (or we could go to T75 (1000BC) if you like
- 10 turn cooldown where neither side can declare war if a NAP is cancelled
- NAP to be rediscussed with 10 turns of it remaining

Is this agreeable to you?

Also have you met any other civilizations as yet? We have not met anyone new recently and were wondering if you had found someone SE or E of your start.

-Dantski

Hi Dantski,

We agree to your terms. Let's go for T75 as an end date.

We haven't met others yet but did meet a lot of animals...

Found Dantski's border AND COPPER!:



Sulla is to his north, so the warrior can return to guard our second city.

Is the map a circle with an ocean in the middle? Since we haven't met anyone from the east, Mortius might have been there...

Haven't revolted yet, since the WB is done in 1 turn.
But if you want to revolt now, you still can. I haven't ended the turn yet.

Research set to The Wheel (6 turns, faster once the WB is done and the city is size 4).

It will be interesting to decide when to use slavery since we're chopping that forest on the hill as well to go into the settler.

Rolan will need a patrol as well soon.

I think we did the opening pretty well, but I wonder what the lurkers think.

[Nakor]

Regading copper, look at our island to the south...

[DMOC]

Oh - forgot to mention, the best time for slavery is after the settler is done, since the settler moving to the city site isn't affected by anarchy, but city production is. After switching to slavery, we'll still have a size 4 capital that can whip a quick worker.

[DMOC]

The old dotmap I have on page 7 has copper (nothern one) in a city, but not in one of the original 8 tiles.

Since Dantski is to the north, should the northern city (rice/copper/cows) come after the gold? I think so.

[Nakor]

Ok, we will stay out of slavery then.

The northern city is a pretty aggressive one against Danstski, but I like it.
We do need enough defense there, so some more warriors would be nice.
Maybe AH (after The Wheel) will give us some horses and chariots...

So for now:
Worker will chop and start roading
City will go settler after WB
After the settler we change civics and build a warrior for our capital. Then another warrior or another worker I think...

Will end the turn soon.

[DMOC]

I hope that is his second city. Probably not but if it's his capital he may expand there. Good thing we have a NAP.
