[Spoilers] Pindicator accepts his fate

4th techs?

Looks like the Nyles border is absolutely the #1 priority, though.

Well, I think they're all cheap techs. My guesses are along these lines:

	StarDoor	OT4E
Starting Techs:	Ag & Myst	Ag & Wheel
3rd Tech	Hunting, 92b (eot9)	Hunting, 92b (eot9)
4th Tech	Mining, 77b (eot16)	Mining, 77b (eot16)

Haven't really crunched numbers hard, but it passes the eye-ball test. And keep in mind, we're not far away from our 4th tech: grabbing AH in a few more turns.

Speaking of which, a new turn rolled over night...


Turn 018

A lot of score movement this turn, but largely breaks down as follows:

• NylesStandish, TBS, Nicolae Carpathia, gsorel, & Gawdzak all grew to size 2
  
• DTG/picklepikkl & Borsche researched a tech (they were both already at size 2
  

12k of power happened outside of population growth, so I'm guessing a lot of the EXP players also finished warriors, but I'm not really sure about the techs gained. Mining or Mysticism are likely culprits: 8 turns since their last tech for both pickl & Borsche. Maybe Wheel if they have some extra commerce.



Warrior done, Cow pasture done. We're pulling in a nice 11 food-hammers each turn at size 2, and with the 1 hammer overflow from the warrior the settler is coming out in 9t.

Nothing eventful from the scout; honestly I like not finding anybody right now, it makes me feel more confident to go all-in on this pink dot play.

EDIT: With 9 turns to build roads for the pink dot, I'm proposing the following. This will let us move our settler t26, and move + settle on t27. We'll also be able to put 1 turn of road into the flatland tiles N and NNW of the warrior so there aren't any wasted turns.

I like this plan.

Turn 019

Wetbandit grew to size 2 on the IT.

Here's some more crazy land to drool over



I think I've seen enough for now; going to send the scout back towards the capital to head to the south next turn, unless someone raises a good point against that.

Dude, a city 1SW of the scout though...

[Commodore]

Hope the scout wins without too much damage.

Don't give Krill any ideas on buffing panthers!

[Mizar]

Think I play the wrong mapscripts, that is some nice land.

The maps for these games are usually heavily edited
So they tend to be quite lush.

Heh, try the bottom of the screenshot Thoth

OH! You mean *that* sugar. Completely missed it
