[NO PLAYERS] PBEM65 Lurker thread, for lurkin' and jerkin'

[Commodore]

Okay, here's one "section". Resources are going to get shuffled and the inner sea might get shifted but essentially this is the shape of things.

To be added:
-Horse and copper in crappy locations on the start isles.
-Luxuries in the middle lands
-Stone somewhere central
-A bit more food due north of the capital

[Commodore]

Anyone else amused by the players' bafflement on how to deal with the marble? Although seriously guys, whole big continent OTHER WAY.

Obviously, settle on the deer, presciently enabling that ocean oil.

Settling deer is always the right move. /Brick

Western deer shoukl have been 1W, so you could settle on it and share corn and sheep.

Too many cottages too early again, Mardoc.

FFH is hell on the chopping muscles.

No one seems to have noticed, but Miguelito has a grassland hill instead of a plains hill for one of his island's logical city sites (across from Marble island). It makes it a lot less attractive early game. Nothing to be done about it, I guess.

[The Black Sword]

This is actually a really nice game to follow with everybody updating but the lurker thread is oddly silent. Current affairs are pretty interesting too. I guess Mardoc can't gain as much from Alhazard as THH is from Miguelito(since Al is also going Knights, not Unis), so his best chance is to try hit THH. Al has a similar dilemna, even if he has the extra option of vulturing some stuff too.

That's how a graph looks when a game is about to get good!
