[SPOILERS] TheArchduke keeps the Spice flowing as Persia

Turn 32

I am going for a mad settler dash. EE finish will mean 2 new settler builds by both current cities.

   

I think I will do a late immortal push, plan to follow.

are you sure sea is important on this map.

I have ignored the sea at my own peril before. Sietch Tabr is also in an excellent spot. I need galleys for CS quests and I can get a much better lay of the land with the odd early galley.

Turn 34

2 warriors and 1 slinger secure the neighbourhood from now on, whilst one warrior is off to play in the east, scouting out Rome.

It is a cracking spot.

The thing about controlling the sea is you have to invest a lot to do so. But investing a bit is fine of course.

Going after rome is bold with both your uu being sword replacements.

Looking forward to it. I love immortals.

That barb camp could be a problem. I will converge my slinger and warrior onto it. I am thankful for overbuilding military and no scout. I am starting to be less and less enthralled with scout first to be honest.

In single player on high level it's the only way to a golden age really.

In mp agreed it's  a waste of a unit mostly. Though you might have got all sorts of first meets with one. Who knows.

The more I explore the more options open up.

I try to make a comprehensive analysis tomorrow. Turns come in hot and fast. Which is good.

Phew. Turn 40 already.

So what is up. Quite a lot actually.

The turn sees us erecting a 4 Icon_Science campus which gets us not only to the top in science, inspires State Workforce, but also gets us an envoy in Antananaravio, which also means +2 Icon_Culture

   

Carthag is in dire need of builder love now and accordingly starts one. Arrakeen once again pops 5 pop just to go down to 4 again with a settler. Next up is currency in 9 turns down from 15 to increase our culture and gold income through use of trade routes and pairidazeas. I want one of those at Arrakeen and Carthag to use it when I hit the pop cap now and then. Arrakeen will invest 2 turns into a builder (or maybe a slinger, unsure) and then start a new settler with early empire. Or maybe I go crazy and get another settler asap.

   

That barb camp could be an issue.

   

My greedy eyes look upon Giedon and say, that is also a nice place, and we could settle Sietch Tabr coming from Carthag with EE.

what about 1 down on the deer.

3 luxuries and a +4 campus in 1st and 2nd ring
