The Quarterdeck - Turn Discussion Thread

I think the odds of taking their capital would be something like 50-50, really. But that's probably too much of a risk.

if it was really 50/50 I'd take that in a heartbeat!

I don't think its nearly that high, though. Quecha's are easily countered by warriors.

Okay, started building the farm. Is their capital on a hill? I always forget about Warrior's 25% city defence bonus, it's pretty significant.

It would basically just come down to whether or not they saw it coming. They would see the power increase, but they probably wouldn't instantly assume that they were being rushed, especially if they hadn't even made contact with us yet. If they didn't see us coming, there's no reason they should have more than 1 warrior defending their capital, and they'd only have time to build 1 more- with 5 quechuas we could overwhelm 2 warriors easily. But if they scouted it, we'd have no chance.

Anyway it's probably too late to try anything like that, and it might be too vicious anyway. Let's just forget about that idea.

What turn are we going to finish BW? If we're working a grass farm than we'll need to be whipping a lot to get value from it.

Yep, let's focus on what we can do and drop the quecha rush idea.

Farm completes T29, Bronze Working comes in T31, and Settler completes T32.

After the Settler, start growing/whipping another Settler or build another Worker?

[Jkaen]

I am assuming current worker heads off with new settler, hence we need a worker for capital.

All in all though the distribution of copper I think will change any plans we have

[luddite]

I think we'll want another worker for chopping.

The Scout is in the Pink Dot area, and here's what's there:



Anyone else half-considering 1S of the Gold to get the city nestled away in those mountains?

[Jkaen]

No, its further from the capital and not on a hill hence harder to defend and I dont really see what benefit being wedged between 2 mountains gives us, its bnot really much of a choke point

Agree with Jkaen.
