[Spoilers] The Network assimilates ipecac, Ruff_Hi & Dreylin (Monty of Vikings)

[Dreylin]

I'd like to explore the Marble but that'd be too costly in time; we can use a WB to scout there. On NE vs NW: in 3 turns the scout will end below the Plains Hill. So I say move it (1)NW and see what you uncover, before deciding.

Makes sense. BTW, I was thinking that we should renamed this Scout - I was thinking of "Dead End" because he keeps finding those, but maybe there's something more "Networky" that we can use...?

Edge Router?

controls access between the internal network and external (internet / wild).

Sounds good. And once he dies, we can also recycle as a city name!

Looks like Adrien didn't go Worker-first...

They whipped last turn.

So probably went Expansive WB / BW first, grew, then whipped out the (EXP) Worker.

Spotted our first animal this turn; a Wolf in the forest SE of The Hub.

We also completed our first improvement - Pigs have been Pastured and are being worked. Growth & WB due in 4t.

Outstanding questions:

1) Are we going to chop out the Settler; if not what will Worker do?

2) Are we going straight for Religion after BW (due in 7t); if not, what are we going to research?

I propose we chop the Settler while going for Buddhism. T30 mine on fph is finished, T33 City #2 is founded and worker starts chopping forest 2E, E-NE, or 2SE of capital. If we miss Buddhism we can chop into Barracks and whip it to completion T38. If we land Buddhism T35 we can stop chopping and mine hill N of #2 while waiting for borders to pop.

Snuck in a quick turn this morning. Worker moved to the Hill and will start Mining next turn. End Router is now 1NE of the Incense and has defogged a mountain across the water. It also looks like a second Mountain N of the Plains Hill. He'll move NW next and if anyone's around I'll consult. Otherwise, probably head North to look along the other side of Clam Lake.

Sounds good. I'll look to work that into the plan this evening. After Settler maybe a WB for exploring while growing to size4 and then a second Settler or Worker.

Oooo, interesting views:


NE-NE and head along the far side of the long lake, or NE-N and continue NW?

I say NE-N followed by NW to try to circle down towards the west of the Hub.
