This should be fun being able to lurk not just this game but this thread in particular.

I think we want to go BW first. Reasons:

1) 2x deer is plenty of early food and hammers, unless we want to chop the forests defensively.

2) If we DO want to chop the forests because we're that worried we need BW ASAP

Where do we want to move the scout? 2S1W?

One metagame thought for lurkers to probably laugh at - as you probably saw the civ colors are deliberately changed. My guess as to why - we're on a continent or even archipelago (!) map where culture borders will allow us to see the color of neighbors but not an unfogged tile to see the name of the civ.

EDIT: Regoarrarr, can you run the numbers of warrior->worker vs grow to size two (is that a 3/1/0 tile?) then worker?

EDIT: Regoarrarr, can you run the numbers of warrior->worker vs grow to size two (is that a 3/1/0 tile?) then worker?

Options
A: Worker first - completes on T9
B: Warrior at max hammers (3t) then worker - completes on T12
C: 1t into a warrior (to be able to complete it in 2t) then worker - completes on T10 or T12, depending on whether we have to complete the warrior
D: Work the 3/1 tile, growth in 8, warrior in 5. Put 3t into a 2nd warrior, then worker when we grow to size 2 @ T8. Worker takes 7t, completes on T15

Good catch on the civ colors - I had not noticed that. I think your guess is a decent one.

[regoarrarr]

FWIW, I think I favor C, A, B then D.

Maybe put 2 turns into a warrior if we need to (leaving it at 10/15) then go worker.

Both of those bodies of water are coast.
