[Spoilers] BaII listens to Kpop while playing

Can you post a wide angle view of your cities / surrounding territory? Do you have further city sites dot mapped? Future plans, assessments of your neighbors?

Sure once Bandicam starts working again for me.

Turn 55

Two 2 pop whips just came in for a worker and a settler. Grabbing the city 2W to the horses next since I can prebuild a WB in the capital to be given for the 4th city and a netted clams. After that I'm going to grab the copper city followed by the city just beneath the interface. Land directly west of my capital is extremely unwanted currently just because of the jungle in that area. Slowcheetah is currently SW and that's the only borders that I have found so far that is close to me since I haven't been able to get a scout over to the East. Eridu is currently growing to size 4 and continue to be every single time for a settler. Capital will get a forest chop that will allow for a 2 pop whip of a library once the whipping penalty wears off, cause I really want to get an Academy up in there to make use of that gold tile. Archery is next just to make sure I don't have just warriors for defense since copper or horses are not going to be hooked up in 20 ish turns.



Demo's are currently weak right now since I just whipped off 4 pop. It will increase as I regrow and more cities are settled in rapid succession.

Turn 56

Well looks like I won't be needing a forest chop since I got more overflow than expected, next city has been settled, I would currently love to be researching Math --> currency right now, however I will need Archery to make sure I have something to build before I get copper or horses connected.

Turn 60

Eridu just whipped a settler to settle the city site I have marked. Imperialistic is so convenient a 2 pop whip after just 1 turn's worth of production into it. ETA for Mathematics is 10 turns. Whipping the Lib at the cap in 2 turns and have that overflow into a WB for the new city. Once the lib is in the city going to stuff two citizens onto scientists so i can get out a GS for an academy in the capital with it's awesome gold tile. Probably going to turn off science once I get math and burn through all that cash once the Academy is in the capital. Also Azza build the mids. Seems a bit early, not particularly liking it since it slows down his growth curve by so much, though if he had managed to get stone then I guess there's a bit of justification.



Demo's are looking good for me. High CY and good GNP. GNP will be exploding in about 15 turns when the Academy come in.

Turn 63

Ugh, barbs, why can't you let me do my farmer's gambit in peace. Barb on the right was killed my archer. After is left with 2.1 hp.



Bit of a painful setup, thought I will get out the WB a turn earlier. Should have worked the mine over the gold 1 turn ago so I could 1t it w/o working the grassland forest.

Turn 65

Yum do I love my seafood. The two roaded forests will be chopped so that I can compelte a granary and just have a monument whipped so that I can gain access to the horses and a resource required unit. So I'm not a complete and utter sitting duck.



Capital is also running two specialists so that I can acquire a GS for my capital as it is producing around 30 beakers currently. The capital move at the beginning of the game has been utterly critical to what I believe is a strong position in this game. Only thing looking sad is MFG, though that doesn't really matter too much because the whip is so cost effective at turning food into hammers especially since all of my settlers except the first one have been whipped to completion.

Hey, I think I'm able to take over for you as you requested in the General forum, if you'd like (if someone more skilled steps up, no problem) - just one question: who are your direct neighbours? 'Cause I looked at the last page on one person's spoiler thread recently.

[BaII]

Thank you very much THH. Azza is a bit South west to me. I haven't had enough units to spare to go scouting over to my east.

[TheHumanHydra]

Hm, he's actually the one I'm spoiled for. I may be obliged to pass then, unless you're providing detailed instructions so I don't have to make any choices.
