So what are your plans for the Barb City? Keep Ignoring it for free experience for a while or take it down ?

So what are your plans for the Barb City? Keep Ignoring it for free experience for a while or take it down ?

After getting the settler and 1 galley out I think I'll end up building a couple axe's and attempt to take it out. Hopefully that's before they get archers. Otherwise it's wait until construction which will really suck. If it's still got warriors I might just let 1 axe try and do it with another as back up. Might be able to get him up to 10xp then...

Thanks for the question...I'm hoping wednesday I'll have a chance to pick up my C&D again...I'm about 20 turns behind but have the demogs so I might be able to. If I can that will really help in my plans post sailing.

Verbal update to come later today.

So as you can see my WB is now off to explore. Most others if not all have gotten their barb city. Puts me a bit behind and the demogs show that. I should be the first to settle off island though. The plains/forest/hill is looking pretty nice though there is a barb city a little to the NW of there. I know this because I played T46 this morning and moved the WB 2NW.

So as of EOT46 I 2-pop whipped the settler and the overflow will go right into a galley. I might pause and slow build a worker while the whip anger wears off, slow build a Trading Post while getting back to size 6 (with the furs hooked up this time). From there I'm not entirely sure. I might triple or double whip another settler and then grow while building axes.

Techwise you see I'm on Mysticism. From there I'm hoping to land a religion in my 2nd city and head to the Oracle. The Oracle is a secondary target right now though and I'll be reevaluating my chances at that later.

T50 played. I'll post the screenies tonight.

Met Jowy aka Boudica of Rome. I sent him a quick greeting message, though technically he met me when he played his turn.

This is really for SevenSpirits benefit at a later point in time.

T49 I started a worker at size 4 working the Crabs, Deer, Copper and Desert Oasis. I needed to work the Oasis to finish my tech (Mysticism) 1T faster. My other alternatives were a grass/hill/mine and a camped furs. I didn't realize I would have been better off with the furs until after I had played but decided not to replay and try and convince Seven to use my 2nd save. I figured misplayed no biggie, I just fix it on T50.

Well I rushed through T50 this morning and never looked inside my city so never caught my mistake and didn't change it. I realized when I got to work I had screwed up again and knowing I had intended to change it I replayed and sent the new save off to Seven asking him to play that one. He responded NP, I can't wait to see what the mistake was. Well that was it. It will mean Meditation 1T sooner which could prove crucial.

Some pics to follow.

Here's to hoping I don't die. I shouldn't so if I don't I'll found on this hill on T51.


Here you can see where I met Rome:

T51 played.

Met Babylon this turn (The Reverend Doctor). Sent a quick greeting.

Fredricton has been founded and I immediately jumped to first in land which is nice. I need to leverage that fast though! Espionage moved solely against Babylon for now, he's the score leader and seems to be closest to me.

When do you plan on taking the barb city?


EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you aready answered the same question a week ago.

[athlete4life10]

No worries Bob . Game is finally starting to get interesting .

As an FYI the barb warrior that was beside my warrior/settler that is now Fredricton moved 1NW rather than attacking.

My galley has moved back towards my capital and Rick Hansen (Scout) and Patrick Roy (warrior) will come over to help garrison Fredricton/protect workers and scout the island.
