[SPOILERS] 3 Players, 1 Civ, No Clues - Tatan, Nakor, and Serdoa are Darius of Rome

[Nakor]

So, we stayed with Pottery. Seems like the best option still. Here's what happened this turn:





Question: Do we need roads to get the horses to Nero?



And for references a demo screenshot:



Our soldiers are mainly in techpoints, I think. We have Sunrises graphs and he has a bit more soldiers then us, but nothing to worry about yet. I think he has one axe and he won't send it our way. That means we have time to build a least one chariot before he arrives.

Did we forget to civic swap to slavery?
Let's do that after the worker is done in Nero.
I suggest we build/chop another worker straight after this one. Worker 1 can move to Ceasar and pasture horses (before pigs for military purposes). Worker 2 can chop worker 3.

[Serdoa]

I think we will either need a road 1S,1SW of the 2nd city + the tile signed 2t into farm or Sailing and to defog the coastal route (that dead end sign). For the road we might need a third one within our borders, not sure about that.

[Nakor]

Okay. I think worker 2 and 3 should build the road network then while worker 1 improves horses-pigs. We really need a few chariot sentries to keep tabs on Sunrise and maybe find someone else...

Let's hope our fast research pace will keep us in the game. We have enough (bad) land that can be interesting once we have Machinery and can let windmills do their thing...
So priority 1 is to survive and get that tech edge we need.

[Nakor]

Chop done, worker 2 will be finished next turn and we'll start to chop another worker. I marked the forest he should chop. Worker one should head to Ceasar to connect horses.
Don't forget to swap to Slavery next turn!

[Nakor]

Played the next turn. Hope you guys are ok with that.

Swapped to Slavery and moved the workers. Not a lot more to do.
If someone else plays the next turn, try to move the northern worker so he can start pasturing the horses 3t from now (I believe he should move NE to do that).

Any ideas on a third city site or do we wait for Iron? There should be something nearby...

Well, on a grass hill, base windmills will be 2/2/1--2/2/3 on a river. That's actually not *that* bad, and they would actually be pretty epic tiles in a golden age. Plus, think of all the "jousting at windmills" jokes we could make!

Any ideas on a third city site or do we wait for Iron? There should be something nearby...

Surely there will be, surely the civ map scripts understand the basic concept of resource distribution and at least give us a frigging iron. If we have a settling party primed and ready, we could have iron almost right away.

He's right. The "ae" is a Latin dipthong (two vowels that get grouped together into one sound), pronounced like "eye" (not that I even noticed you had misspelled Caesar until he pointed it out ).

[Nakor]

Rectified the name. Thanks Rego.

[Nakor]

Another day, another turn...

Anarchy is over, so we can whip!
Started chopping worker 3 and not a lot is happening besides that...
2 turns untill Pottery is done and we can start on IW.
What should we build after our third worker?

[Tatan]

Worker by Caesar started pasturing the pigs. 6 turns until Nero's borders expand and we get a better look at some of the nearby coast. Nothing else happened.

What should we build after our third worker?

We could put some hammers into a barracks. Other than a settler sometime before IW comes in, we have no other pressing needs in the capital.
