[spoilers]Molach will sometimes Necro this thread

This start: Agri -> Mining -> BW.

Build: Worker -> Warrior x2 to size 2 -> Settler.

Worker has about 8 turns with no critical food to improve, he can build a mine (bleh) or road towards new city site.

BW and Settler will finish about at the same time. I guess I go pottery directly after. Probably build a worker after the settler, but also should grow to size 3 to whip it so need to grow on something. Probably warrior nr 3 for fogbusting/scouting.

That concludes the sandboxing from me. I tried a version with early pottery, but hard get a quick granary without chops, and hard to use it without whips. So BW is still early king.

Thanks a lot for covering, and screenshots.

Now for the scouting. Got two back-to-back turns, so now I see my western lands. Room for some cities, but where?



Might as well look to the SW before deciding, but my thoughts for now:
To the northeast there are only two sites to build a city to share the corn tile from capital, I need more scouting to decide up there.
I will not have AH for second city, so it will not be built to the SW near deer.

Instead it might be built to share the sheep tile from capital. So there are 9 possible sites. I want a site that shares sheep & grabs pig first ring. One of those also gets stone with a border pop & clears out a jungle for "free". So jungle N of pig is my guess for second city. For now. 3 hills for production is okay enough.

Moved the Scout 1N onto the jungle hill.

Did seeing the land to the south change your settling plans?

[Molach]

No, the only food I can use is actually that pig, since Ill grab BW before both AH and fishing.
The question now is, pottery or a food-tech after bw...

[Molach]

Well I caan use the sheep, but no overlap with food from capital is weaker.

And thanks a 1 000 000 for covering the turn.

Hey Molach, just wanted to remind you to post the t100 monster pic for the scorecard. Thanks!

[Molach]

You necro'ed my thread!

Yay.

About turn 100, yeah missed that chance. However at turn 102 I had 5 beasts.

I've found myself with more to do, new house, new job, new computer. Haven't taken a screenshot yet with this new computer. Also, playing some other games which cut into my posting time. Or maybe I'm just tired of posting? Who can tell.

In the game, I landed confusionism. As in, it was confusing that it was up for grabs. I had just finished currency, like I always do, and needed a tech to research next, noticed that confu hadn't fallen. 4 turn research, and I actually get it too! Decent tech in itself, and imagine, I had no religion too.

AT and Ichabod to my north. Glad for the familiar neighbourhood. They are doing well enough. Declared on AT to check defenses on a new city he put up. Defenders were in place so peaced out. About to stabilize land borders to the north, but seems to be many islands offshore, and coastal areas to my southwest so can expand.

Casually plodding along. Might learn to find my screenshots on this new and steam-powered Civ IV iteration if I get into a war. Or I need to count gremlins at turn something again.

Till then, restare in pacem.

I hear that about having other important things to do. But thanks for making time for giving us an update. Even just a screenshot on the turns for the scoreboard would be perfect.
