[spoilers] Commodore is strategic in Pitboss 74

[Commodore]

Could definitely be a worse neighbor, heya Bing.

In fact, I'm sure I will have worse to the northeast. Also an original start location detected; plains incense isn't natural unless within a few tiles of a start.

Bumped into Pindicator as well around Bingland, coming from the north so that's my rival there.
Hinduism is the Meditation religion this game, fyi. Also something odd with the incenses here.

Jeez that floodplains gold location 

How many settlers can we get out before t50? Seems to me east and south are the best directions for initial expansion but things will get contested pretty quickly

Have you already made a sim? If so, can you share it here - wouldn't mind taking a crack at trying to maximize REX on this start

I actually don't have a worldbuilder sim, I've been using my trusty micro sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ublWhjG...drive_link

Currently on t26, so just dumped a chop into a settler, next turn it's going to be over 40h, then revolt->whip for that copper. Feel free to log in and poke around too.

Does it need a password?

Yep, password is "AH", mod is in the tech thread link to civstats.

Here is our region for planning, btw:


Bing might need to be a horse-archer era target.

This is my notional plan, circumstances will doubtlessly change...

...like Tarkeel being up the jungle isthmus northwest.

Looks good. Only thought I have is maybe switch the ordering of 2 and 3: it's definitely possible that Bing settles a sheep/marble/silver before we get there. The land to the east is more valuable but losing 3 would make for an awkward border with Bing.
