[Spoilers]Pindicator With All the First Strikes in PB71

Is it too late for Krill to move Pastures back to Hunting?

I'm going to wait for the full BFC to be revealed before I make any plans

Thanks much!

I guess we move the scout NW-N and see what can be seen. If nothing fancy shows up then we probably move SW to plant on the forested plains hill

Have to say I fundamentally disagree with Krill over the nature of the map. I want to get screwed by the RNG and complain about it- just look at 69. All that tundra and stuck in a corner and I'm loving every second of it

Krill: this map sucks

Pindicator: oh yeah hurt me daddy mapmaker

I have never regretted moving my first settler onto a plains hill as much as I do now:




Tundra AND Desert AND Snow in the first screenshot!? It's amazing, I love it.

I'm seriously wondering if I should move my settler east and spend 2 more turns going for the plains hill that I know was in the BFC, but the Sheep is not within range of that . So this is probably the spot I settle. What an awful, awful city. It's just like Great Plains without the green!

In seriousness, I need to save some of these forests to turn into lumbermills later on. I'm already planning on a beeline to Machinery, so we can at least get some pseudo-hills out of that. City #2 needs to be a commerce city to make up for how awful the capital is. 1 green tile. Oh wait, 2: the hill Pigs are on grass.

Need to work out the tech rate for getting to AH. I might need to go through Agriculture just so I put farms down elsewhere. But Hunting is nice for PRO archers.

Finally, I need lurker help for civ adjectives:




Should Grandmaster be the adjective instead of the Empire name? Something like World Champions? (Sounds a little pretentious if the other players don't realize it's a chess theme.)

Also, I'm thinking about naming the capital Morphy. Open to other suggestions.

Found another Sheep




With my limited sims I think it's still better to be on the plains hill. Worker due t12, and with tech we go Agriculture (t4) > Animal Husbandry (t15). Thankfully we start with Wheel, so I'll be able to put a road down before pasturing the Pig.

If I had stayed on (or moved back to) the flatland then the worker was due t15 anyway, so it's not going to actually save some time. But it is certainly a weaker long-term capital.
