Its ok.You just move the scout and post the picture so we can discuss further.

Karakorum is founded.
The Scout should go S-S? so we can use the 2 tiles motion?  In 5 turns the city will grow and we will be able to see the 3rd ring around the city, so might be we should go as far as possible to uncover the 4rd ring.  Might be the tiles south of the mountain that will keep uncovered.

I think going on the plain hill woul be the best.

Was it an easy decision to not SIP? Did you consider dry(?) corn to be that much superior to fish and crab, even though you are starting without agriculture? Were there other factors in play?

Not easy.But we want  to atack someone at keshicks and having the capitol not near sea helps  I think. And i bet there in all those bare grass is either cooper or horses .Having capitol  more central  helps alot with initial rexing and beeing Imp I think and want get more then our fair share of land.This of course can backfire big time and everyone have cooper or horses in the woods at the starting capitol. We will see.I just hope Giraflorens will not shoot me if my advice was bad.

Lets hope our scout will discover deeper some sites whith some precious metals, furs so a very fast second city gave us some leverage.If not is most likely we gambled and not win.

Big prairies on the south to have horses!!  Should we go east or west?  We might go West and give the tour from the West - South - North.  We could go to the pigs, and afterwards WW or W-S. I guess the tiles at NW of pigs will be uncovered when Karakorum will expand.

Don't worry if your plan does not go well.  It was a risky decision, but I liked.  I'd never think doing that movement.

I think going on wine next and aiming to defog tiles around the capitol would be best,But whatever you decide Gira is fine, we just need to find a second city spot.

Interesting you guys moved inland. Settle 2nd city more inland to claim even more land then?

First of all this is Gira's game and he will decide were we settle after. But the plan is indeed to plant some city inland, hoping as I said before to find a spot with gold, gems, silver or even furs.I realy hope the other happines we got isnt the wine , cause i seen sometimes mapmakers saying ,oh this one get silver, this one fur and the other wine , pretty balanced   .

If we dont get any comerce resource nearby then yeah this was a realy bad move,no comerce, 1 turn lost, 1 food lost...And I see we have marble,I had a dream about building mids, lets hope mapmakers put stone and marble for each start and we just need to discover ours. If we have just marble I dont complain as marble is the stronger resource but juts doesnt fit in my plan..

Oh and there is an island i think, and we will be late to the island as well.In conclusion if there isnt a strong second site inside we just lost tempo,but until now in late pitboses alway was very nice land contested, I hope SD(he made map i remember) didnt chanched his way if he done that sorry Gira seems like this vet put you in trouble.
