sticks and BRicks will break their bones! {spoilers}

Just realised that barb came out of the ONE tile you didn't have visibilty on.
Ow.

AT decided to show up with his War Chariot:


I whipped an Impi in New Scapula to counter that.

Here's what we can see of AT's lands:


I'm not quite sure what to research next. Monk tree seems like a bad idea, but all that's left is Classical techs. Mathematics? Iron Working?

[Commodore]

Mathematics is always good.

These turns have been uneventful. We finally got the Rice online. I'm sending one Worker to pasture Scapula's Cows, and the other to cottage up Sternum. Not sure if that's the right move... in any case, I'm going to whip out a Granary in Sternum next turn. AT turned his War Chariot away. I set research to Mathematics.

Here's the current situation, with possible city sites half-marked out:



Wow, this map is covered in resources.

Yes, I know we're going to lose this. I'm not that crazy.

[thestick]

The Granary in Sternum finished, but I can't quite remember if I built one in New Scapula. Either way, I queued up more units to guard the third city. Current milirary is 3 Impis 1 Axe, probably not enough?




I think we should chop out that Settler and head for the close Silver site, sharing the Fish with New Scapula. Yes, I'm probably being overly conservative here. Then again, we lost our second city, of course I'm going to be conservative.

[thestick]

More barb Warriors showed up, but they're not an issue. Finally going to chop that forest into a Settler/third city. I doubt anyone cares about us, except as 'Future Site of Kjn Industries.'

[thestick]

I chopped a forest at Sternum into a Settler:



The Worker by New Scapula is roading the Cows. No sign of further enemy attacks yet.

[BRickAstley]

I agree on the more military, but after those axes are done that's 3 axes and 3 impi's right? should be enough for the time being.

On city location, I'm actually leaning towards the horse city, we'd be able to get a new unpillageable food, as well as strong cow and horse tiles. Maybe even move it 1E for the hill defensiveness.

Bigger note, what's the best I can do to help? I know I fell through on C&D (Though that's partly due to Kjn's attacking ruining our short term growth and chance to race for anything), so since you're playing the turns what do you want me to do to help out?

[thestick]

Discussion? Some turnplaying? Sorry about the relative lack of reporting, things are a lot more hectic than I'd expected.

This turn was pretty boring. I started roading/moving units to the Horse site. It just feels better without being crammed next to Catwalk. I finally realized that I hadn't switched EPs off Kjn, and swapped them to Catwalk.

[thestick]

The Settler completes next turn. The Road and military units are ready and in position.

I think it's time to whip a Worker in New Scapula:



(Ignore research, I turned it back to 0%) I'm not sure what the next research target should be. It should probably be hammer/military in nature, since happy cap/economy isn't a problem yet with our backwards cities. Iron Working? Horseback Riding? Metal Casting?
