PB78-Superdeath and Nauf beat the field

[scooter]

Note that since a city was destroyed(?) that hill is magically 5 hammers. Does that mean iron/copper/coal(?) is there?

I don't remember exactly what is there, but almost certainly there is an improvement that is well-hidden by the forest. Hover over it next time you're in-game?

It's a plains hill forest mine. Natural 5h.

(Obviously the reason there's a mine there could be that there's a resource underneath - I haven't seen the map.)

[superdeath]

Could baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarely see it lol.

[superdeath]

Long time no update, Also long time no BEING ABLE TO PLAY.

Also the Admin function is broken for THIS particular PB. Because of course.

Now... Nauf. What im suggesting is possibly going for the Gems site as our 3rd city. So far it looks AMAZING, and can only really get better. Plus it looks to tie down that border rather nicely. Thoughts?

[naufragar]

Yeah, that spot is nuts. Just be prepared to defend it. That road makes Dreylin get there to attack or settle super fast.

[naufragar]

Have we killed anybody yet?

Have we killed anybody yet?

Based on where that inca warrior is... Soon. If he goes DIRECTLY for settling that city, i think i can hit it with 2+ chariots by t42/43? (havent mathed it out quite yet) If i whip hard. I still feel like eliminating him with chariots along that road might be the way to go? If his copper is in a awkward spot like mine, he might not have it up and running by the time i got a few chariots to his capital.. Now, i dont WANT to be a rushy butthead this game, but if i spy a settler...


Thoughts?

Do you mind if I log in to look around?

My first thought is that we want to rush, we need to commit. Chariot rushes shouldn't work* against a player taking normal precautions, but if we can leverage our Creative border covering horses before anybody can reasonably hook up copper, we need to think long and hard about making a rush work.*

*Obviously a chariot rush can ruin somebody's game, but whether we can actually kill someone enough that they don't drag us down with them is another story.


What's that worker doing outside our borders?

Go ahead, anytime login

Ignore that worker. He wanted to go sight seeing. (misclicked/roaded) BW JUST came in so he was roading towards the 2nd city site, forgot to un-queue him..


Ill leave it upto you. Im also willing to hook up that horse right away and whip a chariot or something and try and settle where that warrior is? Gavagai is to the south of that area, i believe thrawn to be to the north, and i have no idea where MS is.

[naufragar]

Logged in. Canceled the queued worker action out of habit. (I always "cancel all" every turn.)

I hadn't realized how close Gavagai is. If we chariot rush Dreylin, we reach over Gav to fight someone even more distant. However, I hadn't realized that Dreylin founded Hinduism. Next turn we get his graphs and we can check what he's been teching.

I should've noticed immediately from your first screenshot. If everyone has horse/copper 3 tiles from cap, this map is ripe for a rush, but it might already be too late. I'm leaning against rushing Dreylin because of how close our other neighbors are. It's passed my bedtime. I'll try to think more about it in the morning.


P.S. I'm going to put on my Rusten hat. He'd always tell me that if a worker had enough time on his hands to put 8 turns into roads, we'd need to redo the plan to find him something more interesting to do.
