Don't come begging to me if you listen to him, we all know what will happen if you do.

*cries*

Man, this is why I took the food out of your BFC, I knew it would just make you unhappy.

[Krill]

Those are tears of happiness...or sleep deprivation, take your pick.



I'm thinking Mining>BW works here now, what with the fast growth from the pig and cow as the second tile to hook (and not hooking the cow until eot t25), but I could be wrong and Agri first works (I'm thinking second worker at size 3, MM the warrior to finish at size 3).

Also, need a theme, so ideas welcome.

Oh man you are so lucky . Did I miss a change on building pastures?

Theme? Well how about different foods since you were lacking them for a while?

Ursula Vernon paintings? Though The Biting Pear of Salamanca is a tad long.

Here is the link to the sim

I've set it to what will happen at the start of next turn.

Pastures are available with Hunting, scouts and camps are available at AH.

OK, as I see it there are X opening tech options:

• Meditation/Polytheism - settled last in the game, with 3 other players starting with Myst. Not that promising.
  
  
  
• Fishing. Duh, no.
  
  
  
• The Wheel...WTF? Why would I want that unless I go straight for pottery? I do want cottages, and I don't want them at turn 50, but...I got other stuff to do.
  
  
  
• Agriculture. Reasonable, means I can theoretically just go worker>warrior>settler, leaves open BW or Pottery as third tech, allows me to hook my second food resource, but I already have 2 tiles that I want too hook, and I'm going to waste 3 worker turns just getting them hooked.
  
  
  
• Animal Husbandry. Nothing to camp, don't have spare hammers for a scout, horse would be nice but I already got 3 solid tiles to work.
  
  
  
• Archery...nah.
  
  
  
• Mining. Opens up BW and I have 11 forests to chop in my capital, of which at least 6 have to go (hills or river forests). Have 1 tile to mine pre-BW.

The only two reasonable options are Agri and Mining IMO, but the question is...what gives the best path to the first settler? The answer to that question isn't easy, I don't think I'm going to get the settler out before turn 40...
