Joey/Parkin get up and slam

[Lord Parkin]

Ugh, it's annoying but we'll cope. There's so little to do in the early game that it really hurts to miss something like this.

[GermanJoey]

Yeah, I know. It's been almost 3 weeks since I simmed the start! I'll go through it again tonight.

[GermanJoey]

This actually doesn't turn out to be catastrophic; we just lose 2 hammers into a warrior. If we count up the food, hammers, and production from Turn 5 (when I shoulda switched), Turn 6 (when WB should be completed), Turn 7 (when WB should move but will actually be completed) and Turn 8 (when we should be working a fish but will instead be working a floodplain while the boat moves) we get, not counting the city tile:

T/f/h/c
5/1/2/0
6/2/1/1
7/2/1/1
8/3/0/1
------
T/8/4/3

while it should be:
T/f/h/c
5/0/3/0
6/0/3/0
7/3/0/1
8/5/0/2
--------
T/8/6/3

Still not good, but at least I don't want to jump off a building anymore!

[GermanJoey]

Keep exploring the NE, or try to find some seafood in the SE? another WB immediately after to explore, or a warrior? I'm inclined towards NE + WB.

[Lord Parkin]

There's Wheat... worth continuing NE for just a bit I think.

[GermanJoey]

There's wheat yes, but your micro plan doesn't have us get Agriculture for another 40 turns...

[GermanJoey]

We have another fish! A river-basin to the SE was a bit tough to see, so I drew it in. I queued up a WB, but feel free to change it.

[Lord Parkin]

I queued up a WB, but feel free to change it.

Uh, why? The plan was to build a Worker immediately after the Work Boat. No point delaying it, we'll have AH shortly...

Optimal build path for the first 16 turns:

T0: citizen on 1f/2h tile, build Work Boat
T5: borders expand, citizen on 3h tile
T7: finish Work Boat, citizen on flood plain tile, build Worker
T8: net Fish, citizen on Fish
T16: finish Worker, move to improve Sheep first

Agreed, that's what I've found too.

[Commodore]

Wait, ToW lets you grow while building workers?

[Lord Parkin]

Wait, ToW lets you grow while building workers?

Nope. Building the Worker at size 1, working Flood Plains for a turn followed by the Fish for the rest. Or at least I thought we were...
