Warrior done next turn with a chop, also growing. It feels wasteful to put a chop into the warrior, but otherwise I'd have to delay the growth for a turn which would also have been wasteful with wet wheat ready to be worked. And I rather do want that warrior now, needs to protect the copper in case Jowy decides to get cute. Will be settling my first city up there in about 7-8 turns.

If Catwalk is putting a chop into a warrior without facing someone about to stumble into his capital something went wrong with his timing. The chop would be better saved for a worker or settler, whichever he's building next. I'd say better to swap builds for a turn and use the chop on a worker/settler then swap back next turn to the warrior and resume growth. I guess the question is whether it's worth it to spend the chop on a warrior and put a 5 food tile into play one turn sooner as the city grows this turn. I don't think it's worth it at all.

I never claimed to be an amateur programmer.

Fluggy's plan to continually aggravate his Aggressive Roman next-door neighbor is...interesting. Almost Jowian in its metagame.

I'm not caught up on this game. Anything noteworthy or surprising so far, aside from anyone wanting to piss off AGG Rome?

I've been browsing threads here and there from time to time but don't feel really caught up on the game either. Whose thread is worth following? Mostly they seem to be all trees and no forest, which makes it hard to figure out what's going on generally speaking.

lol At first I thought you were talking about the map. But I understand now, no one is doing grand scheming? (I'm not terribly current on this game either. I think the WW game's appearance has taken up a lot of my forum time).

I have to say I'm quite disappointed in the reporting for this game. Because the premise is really interesting to me, to see the strengths and weakness and different styles of many sub-elite players in action. As it is, all I see are micro details from Catwalk and I have no clue what's going on in the world. (Other than the lightning-Pyramids build by Azza...)

As soon as I read the rooster I though it was obvious that nobody was going to report

Well, what's shocking/hilarious is that Azza built the Pyramids in a fashion besting every other build ever by about twenty turns, and still isn't appreciably behind anyone else that I can see.
