[SPOILERS] TheArchduke and the Dutch plunder and pillage

[TheArchduke]

Yeah, we can make short work off that camp.

Really need that builder to get serious production going.

   

[TheArchduke]

Good attack on the barb spear. Cleaning it out quickly.

   

[CFCJesterFool]

I think this is the more interesting start compared to PBEM 11.

[TheArchduke]

So, the barbs are gone quicker then I thought thanks to a lucky dice roll. No barb issues hopefully, if my warrior had gone further east this would not have been fun quick.

   

The tilepicker of stupid strikes again

   

and I decide to not only shave 1 turn off my worker but invest gold into getting a 2f/2h tile much earlier then by quarrying the stone.

   

By now I am confident that I want to harvest the stone and the 2 cows north for a good GOV district. Whilst I like the setup I need 4 districts with my capital and 6! with my northern city.

Back to the drawing board probably. Although I like that +5 Campus tile.

   

[TheArchduke]

Promote warrior. I promised myself to post a screenie every turn so people have an inkling what is going on, but that is it.

So:

   

[Bacchus]

So what's up?

[TheArchduke]

Oh, did I not update this in some time.

A lot of running. Give me a moment.

[TheArchduke]

I am the first to size 4, unsuprising.

Still low on production, but I try to manage.

   

A CS is very close. It is a religious CS, so it is most likely on my to kill list. Shame I did not manage to scout it earlier. Should have gone SE.

   

[TheArchduke]

Well, this is a clear kill. The question is do I keep this trainwreck of a city? At all. Only if there is an oasis 2 tiles west of it.

I could have used a better CS or an earlier contact. A religious CS is only good for the initial pantheon. After that only for a very hardcore religion push.

   

[TheArchduke]

Not good, I am on par with Japper only in empire score.

   

Cleared a barb camp for an envoy I do not need but at least I got some money. Farly behind the field.
