[SPOILERS] Four Score & Seven Dynasties Ago: Pindicator plays Lincoln of China

[pindicator]

Turn 002

This is almost embarrassing



Down the line we will have to make the decision of whether a city goes S of the silk, or on the silk, or if we split all those food bonus' up into smaller cities.

I also changed my civ details. Just in case you didn't catch the theme last turn, this should make it obvious:



Let's hope for better hut luck next turn!

How's that C&D work going?

[pindicator]

I'm just watching score, which civstats can give me. But the demo screen? When you don't have 18 players all logging in at various moments and not in the same order each turn? Hell no.

So I'll be able to track number of technologies, total civilians, wonders, and land. It'd be nice to see number of cities, but i don't think you can look at the trade screen in always war.

Exit: i can tell you that mackoti and sevensoirits are either on some crazy pilgrimage variant or they had the worst dra out of all of us. Still no city after turn 3

I agree food/prod/gnp and such would be impossible, but you should be able to do power and population, at least for the first few turns

Everybody has a size 1 city which means mackoti finally settled Yay Team Pyramids!
Power shows a little; one of our hut poppers got either Animal Husbandry or Bronze Working

Turn 003



The warrior is back in the capital. I guess I don't want to tempt fate after all.

What? Don't make me send you back to C&D 101

That's it, challenge accepted.
While I'm dabbling in the dark arts, how about you play your pbem26 save?

[pindicator]

Okay, I've used my Conjuration & Divination skills, and can't come up with much for soldiers. Either ASM popped archery or Meiz popped Bronze Working. No clue what Slowcheetah or HitAnyKey got. But slowcheetah is lying about getting Animal Husbandry; his starting techs were Mining & Mysticism.

I'm going to guess that ASM is telling the truth when he said he got Fishing, and peg Meiz with Bronze Working for now.

Turn 005

Still scouting



Which direction next? I think I want the scout to explore as far out as possible, and let future warriors get the surrounding area. So we'll continue NE next turn.

[pindicator]

Turn 006

Borders expand!



I switched to a warrior and am working the forested plains hill. I may only put 1 turn into it before switching back to a worker, but 2 turns is safer. My first warrior is going to check north first. I think I see some peaks in the fog, and that could be a good defensive position. With expansion we want to get a front line city set, and then we'll be able to get some good commerce cities on these river tiles.
