Peter of Egypt - Vets - Cyneheard

[Cyneheard]

T6

Demographics:


That's 800 soldier points * 5 = 4000. Krill finished a tech this turn, as did I, so he discovered Animal Husbandry (2k power), and someone finished a warrior...that makes 4 warriors built so far. Not sure who that might be. We'll find out when someone doesn't grow to size 2.

[Cyneheard]

T9 update:

Finished my worker, who will be Mikken, a blacksmith. He's farming the corn, which will be done in 3t.

I've given up trying to track the demographics, although no one else has grown to size 2, so clearly it's 3 of us went worker-first, and 3 people went max-food to start.

T11 is in the books. Mining discovered at EOT.



Dilemma: When I settle my 2nd city (which is clearly going here), do I settle on the wine (grabbing the sheep), or 1SE of the horses, and grab the cow, likely wasting that sheep forever? However, the cow site would allow a much faster horse connection: I'd only need a road 2S of the cow to connect to the capital.

Ser Barristan will likely walk back home (he took a little jaunt south, to explore a bit around the silver), and the new warrior (Sandor Clegane. DO NOT mess with him) can head to explore around the horses. Even if copper's in a great spot, I'd rather get War Chariots than axes and spears.

Won't the two rivers automatically connect once the borders pop? (there are adjecent tiles)

[antisocialmunky]

Since I'm a dedicated lurker, I'd say I SE. You're looking a Mesopotamia situation where EVERY tile(except 1) is a river tile.

Seriously. While its doubtful you'll get to levees, you'll probably get plenty of cash to support armies and cities and the like.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Just read your post in the e-mail/IT thread. If you need a sub this weekend (or most any other time) I'd be happy to do that for you, just let me know. I've already become a "dedicated lurker" anyhow, since there's just too little time to read the other threads.

[Cyneheard]

Well, I guess that means I should update more often. Mr. Nice Guy, I guess I should contact you via Carthage, if/when that happens?

So, here's that update:

Bronze Working came in after I hit enter. And I'd already been mining the river grass hill in my territory. Mine comes in next turn. Guess where the copper is?



That...is insanely generous. If I die to a chariot rush, that is 100% my fault. Speaker, if I ever complain about this map, please feel free to bring up this post.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Wow. That's ... a pretty nice capital.

[Cyneheard]

And I met TWO teams this turn: Whosit to my north, and Krill to my east.

Put all my EP on Krill; running 2/2 on the teams just tells both of them that I've met someone else, and it's useless to do so.

I need to explore more, but right now I've got two warriors in my lands that need to die. I might whip an axe after Gendry finishes, delaying the settler for a bit. Depends on what Krill and Whosit do.





And I'm the #1 city for some reason. Interesting: My two neighbors are the other size 4's. And, lurkers, go tell Krill that he needs to come up with a theme!

[Cyneheard]

Hm. I forgot to check the numbers last turn, but this turn there was some interesting data:
Average Land Area: 25600. That's an increase, and it can't be from culture.
Average Pop: 31000*5 = 155000 opponent pop. I can see through Top 5 that there's a size 5 (Krill) and 3 size 3's (including Whosit, who's whipped from size 4), for 153k. That means someone has founded a 2nd city, likely whoever's at size 1.

Also, Whosit has met Krill. They declared war.
