[SPOILERS] Isabella of Carthage, starring Ellimist, SleepingMoogle, and Nicolae

[SleepingMoogle]

The T51 plan saves finishing with a whip as it's not very efficient for a wonder. I'd personally prefer this for now, as I doubt NH & Lewwyn will have enough resources to take the Oracle as well as Henge. We can save the whip for something else, like another Worker or a Granary (though in both cases the builds probably benefit more from whipping something else and overflowing into them).

[Ellimist]

Played the turn. Sirius finished a work boat and started on a worker. It will finish in 4 turns with decent overflow.

Gold mine is finished and the first chop finishes next turn for the Canopus work boat. I'm planning to work the gold mine until the fish is netted, then work the fish to grow back onto the gold mine.

The gold mine worker will move onto another forest next turn for chopping. Deforestation rocks. The other worker will build a mine after the chop. Unfortunately it's chopping the only forest hill that isn't rivered, so we may have lost some commerce there.

I set science to 50% (no commerce lost) for one turn. Priesthood finished EOT. Back to 100% next turn for the wheel.

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Good call. Also, I'm pretty sure that grass hill is indeed riverside.

[Ellimist]

I moved the worker SE after the farm. It should have been S.

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Oh, I think that will delay the WB by a turn, which delays food by a turn, but increases the total hammer output temporarily. It shouldn't be an issue, I think we have enough improved tiles that we won't need to mine that off-river hill for a while.

[Ellimist]

So don't mine it, just move to the next chop?

[Ellimist]

Priesthood is in, The Wheel is due in 3.

The workboat in Canopus was chopped this turn, it overflows into the Oracle next turn.
Should I mine the deforested hill next or move to the next chop? Should I mine anything or just chop chop chop?

[SleepingMoogle]

Well, we have the Rice, Gold and (soon) Fish tiles to work for now. If the city gets to the point where it has to work an unimproved tile and there's nothing sensible to whip, we should mine one of the hills (preferably a river one). Until then though, we might as well stick with chopping.

[Ellimist]

Possible(probably not) PB4 spoiler:

After seeing the BS that just took place in pitboss 4, I'm glad I'm playing PBEM instead.

[Ellimist]

Played the turn. Nothing interesting to report.

The fish will be netted next turn. Pedro de Alvarado(worker #1) starts chopping the plains forest 1N of Canopus next turn. Francisco Pizarro(worker #2) started chopping the grass hill SW of Canopus this turn. Worker #3 finishes in Sirius in 2 turns.

So far Aleutian Ballad, our exploring work boat, hasn't found much to get excited about. Riverside pigs and some forests.
