The Eastern City site seems to be definite now. It has a spot that can claim 2 gems & 1 Sheep in the 1st border. It also can grow to gain the clams, but they won't be used in awhile.

So far nothing major found in the West.

However I now notice that the warrior, Gork, has the "guardsmen" promotion! How did that happen? That doesn't even occur naturally does it?

Something fishy is going on with my units smoke

Gork will circle back round north of the incense to spy out the Isengard River.

Overview:
GNP = Still last! lol
MFG = about average
Crops = Someone has 5 allready? Maybe a mushroom event? Even with huts and lairs of wacky highjinks can ensue.
Soldiers = No change. No one has lost a unit.
Land Area = Someone seems to have a sea start from the least?

Looks like someone else went for the Tolkien name game :neenernee

Now I just need to convince the Horselord to name his empire the Riders of Rohan and get the Infernals to name themselves The Lands of Moria!

EDIT: Okay so Moria does have the Balrog but i was thinking of Mordor for the Infernals. woops.

That's worrying... Thank the gods there was nothing about diabolical plans on this page.

Regarding the 5 food crop yield, it's probably someone working a rice/corn tile. Notice that there are players with only 2 MFG, which means no Plains Hill city tile and no hammer worked by citizens (just the 1 hammer from the city tile + 1 hammer from palace).

Can't wait to see those gems online. Again, I think a very conservative approach is in order here. Get the basic worker techs, some workers/warriors and that's it. No need to waste hammers/beakers in other techs.

Ah, change civics to nationhood if you haven't done already. We are spiritual after all and nationhood is the most helpful early one. Later you can change to pacifism, build a quick pagan temple and bulb WotE with the GPro. Or run a Scientist too, so you can get the GP faster. Maybe even prepare an altar victory! You are spiritual after all, so buffed divine units is always nice!

FFH PBEM VI Spoiler:
Another interesting tactic would be saving the GPro to build the RoK shrine. The shrine gives you 2 GEng points and the ability to run a engineer specialist. If you get a GE this early you can use him to rush the bone palace/wait until the Mines and rush them for iron and another 3 engineer specialist slots(albeit Arete is a lot of research)/etc.

Uh, no, my apologies. Gork used to be a Bannor before I shuffled the turn order around, and I forgot to check everyone for promotions they shouldn't have.

To my knowledge, it shouldn't affect anyone past the initial two, so if you'll hurry up and get them killed we'll be back on track smile

I'm not ded-lurking anyone in this pbem so there's no worry about me seeing spoilerish things, I just meant that my pre-edit post didn't spoil anything to you so there's no real worry even if you saw it before i noticed tongue
