[spoilers] The what goes where?

Fun and work to London Thursday to Sunday.
Maybe access to forums via phone.

Can't you just set a path for the scout for one turn?

I have a test bed and have been running some options. Trying to whip a settler, get a warrior, get a second worker and complete Stonehenge all before T25.

Ran a test this morning. Best I can do is T34 or T35 for both settler and Stonehenge. No second worker. The techs required are the limiting factor - worked unimproved crabs instead of unimproved corn for the tech while worker was farming. Stunts the growth a little but gets me 8 more beakers. Also completed a workboat that didn't end up adding any value. I will probably swap those 30h into another warrior and scout.

I will put together a detailed plan over the weekend with more details.

I will probably do that and ask some global lurker to end turn for us.

Scout moved as indicated ... revealing ...



So as not to repeat the failure with the last hut (we popped hunting) ... here are some detailed instructions ...

• wait until the turn rolls
  
• mining tech is finished (not an instruction, an observation)
  
• pop Bronze Working from hut
  
• screw up my micro mentioned above (not sure if this is an instruction or an observation)

Simple enough instructions.
I have five more hours and three people still need to play the current turn.
I assume you have not set the scout to path there automatically?

I have not. Can you?

[mostly_harmless]

I will. Just Xenu to play this turn. I have one hour or so to go. If the turn does not roll, I will path the scout SW (and then W???) and I will set research to BW. What research after that in the unlikely event we do get BW from the hut?

Turn 9 - 3640BC:

The hut gave us a new scout!

The new scout moved 2NE and is pathed to the forest hill NE-N next turn.
The old scout is pathed 1SW. The idea is to swing SW-NW after that crossing the river, making use of the two movement points instead of slugging through the woods. After a look at the coast there he can then pop the hut near the capital.
At least that's my suggestion.

Turn is ended. Ruff you should be fine time-wise to play turn 10, I think.

That is pretty good news! My plan was for a warrior, scout build after finishing the worker. Now I can change that to double warrior so that city #2 has some defense.

Looks good to me.

Ditto. Nicely done mh. I think that you should pop all of our huts.

Assuming this turn takes about 12 hrs to roll, I should be able to play T10 late in the day Friday.

Ohh - looking at mh's screenshot, I see STONE. And it looks like it is on a single tile island. That sounds like a nice place for a city. It will have to be called Logan (and it will have to get an airport at the first opportunity). It might also be a good spot for the Moa national wonder.

[Ruff_Hi]

Confirm that I will be looking in on T10 tonight. Assuming the scouts auto pathed as set up by mh, there shouldn't be much to actually do. I will provide some screenshots.

I guess I can also do a T0-T10 wrap summary too.

And our new scout needs a name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pond
