[SPOILERS] AlaePB1 - Zanth's reporting thread

[Old Harry]

Well I probably would, just to get a view of the city. So long as you don't mess with his tiles (by pillaging) you shouldn't get too bad a diplo hit (although you know these guys better than us, does he bear a grudge?)

By the way - I like full screenshots as then we can judge stuff like the distance from your capital (on the mini-map) and how far in the game it is (turn counter) and what scores everyone has, all of which might affect decisions...

[zanth]

Yep, here's the big picture

I think he's reasonable enough to understand that wasn't great hit.
And a reminder:
1) I saw a wounded lion, donno who's warrior/scout ate he: egypt's or someone else to the NE
2) He saw, my warrior was comming from the north, so if that lion ate someone else he almost sure don't know nothing of my location
3) The worst thing that could be done atm is pillaging my future workboats

[zanth]

I was almost sure this are Egypt's lands. But instead of it it's Myki, playing Pacal (we have restricted leaders, so it's Maya)
Due to this he must have spears already 'cause they don't need to have metal. So invasion would almost sure cost me this warrior...

[zanth]

What a GREAT neighbor. His UU makes mine almost useless

[zanth]

At last he whipped last turn: his score went down by 4, so it's a 1pop whip -> spear.

[Old Harry]

With all that jungle I wouldn't worry too much about annoying him, it'll be a long time before you're neighbours. So if you think you can get in and out before his spear kills you go for it...

[zanth]

I would be laconic

[zanth]

Btw, what's this?

or culture spreads differently on water?

P.S. And once again my position is on the center. It seems it's not good. This time I have at least water covering

[Ceiliazul]

Yes, you can't expand culture to any tile that can't be worked from a city on your continent. it appears that the wheat island is not on your continent.

[zanth]

what's better: to work mine 1/3/1 or sugar 4/0/1 ? Settler is 129/100, due to Imp, working on mine would give me extra fh, but I'm not sure how they are transformed when finishing workers and settlers


P.S. So, my population cap is 7 (at capital) and 6 at other cities, that's 2 points more then all others. So I could whip whip whip.
T49, first capital whipping
