Oh god, that land is gorgeous, I am literally salivating to cottage those riverside grasslands .

One thing I would have done differently was camp that plains hill deer tile if I was going Worker-Worker. The second worker will still get a 6-yield tile, but you'd get the +1H expansive boost from the 3H hill.

[Locke]

If we get deer on hill first then city only grow 3 food not 5. Camp on hill doesnt get worker #2 done faster. Just overflow more into warrior. Dont care about that. City grows faster with other deer first.



Now we are size 2. Growing fast to size 3. BW soon and then we chop out settler. Maybe we are only team with 2 workers. I think we are doing pretty good so far. Now need to find other teams. Warrior and scout with go look.

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Yeah, but you went worker-worker. From what I could tell, you didn't bother filling the food box by building a warrior at all, meaning the extra food from the grass forest deer never came into play.

After all, you built your first worker using the expansive bonus from plains hill forest deer. Why scrap that bonus for the second?

[Locke]

OK I tell you this before but you dont listen. I will tell you again.

We build first worker turn 9. Nothing change this.

Worker can build camp on hill deer or river deer. Finishes on turn 13. Cherokee has 30/60 hammer in second worker at that time. Takes five more turns to improve other deer, finish on turn 18. This also same no matter which deer we do first.

If we go hill deer, get 9 foodhammers each turn, second worker done turn 17. Get four hammer overflow into warrior - you think we get six but you lose Expansive bonus on overflow. But other deer not done until turn 18, so Cherokee work 3/3 deer tile for one turn and get 3 food.

If we go river deer, get 8 foodhammers each turn, second worker done turn 17. Get one hammer overflow into warrior. Cherokee work 5/1 deer tile and get 5 food on turn 17.

River deer trade 3 hammer for 2 food. We dont need warrior #2 done faster. We want capital grow faster. Same time grow to size 2 [turn 22], same time grow to size 3 [turn 26], but grow to size 4 one turn faster [turn 31]. Extra food much better than faster second warrior.

You dont believe me. We have PLAN. We are chopping settler. We think this out. There is reason for what we do.

EDIT 3: Nix this post, I should stop hijacking your thread. It's always nice discussing strategy and build orders!
