[SPOILERS] Haram's thread

[Haram]

Settler due next turn, meanwhile I'm still playing hide and seek with animals.
On Mongolian side - scout and warrior, animals represented by a bear, that occupies the place I want to settle

[Haram]

Thats a screen from the previous turn. I had to give up scouting for a while, not to risk some low-odds disaster.

The warrior won a fight, and I settled.


I really had a hard time thinking where to settle my second city after I found those horses. I'm sure a lot of people will find this decision questionable. I also considered locations A2 and A3, but finally decided to pretend I still dont see the horses. I need a strong 2nd city. GermanJojo is imperialistic, with a great capital and I still dont know who my other neighbours are. There are some leaders in the roster, like Toku or Charlemagne who will be able to grab the land in a terrifying pace.
A2 - didnt have 2-hammer plant, invalidated X filler and what's most important - didnt cover deer and sheep.
A3 - also weaker start and no 1-ring forests to speed production.

I want to settle B location pretty quickly. When A and B receive their border pop, both those cities will have tons of food. X filler, able to share food with both of them, will be a really usefull city. Obviously, I will be less satisfied with this decision, if I dont have copper in a reasonable place

BW is finished and... I have copper at my capitol. I kind of suspected horses or copper, cause there are so many tiles where strategic resource could apppear and without it my capitol would be pretty weak. It is a great news for me, as I dont need to settle copper just to be safe. But... I decided to make another unexcusable thing (the first one was perfectly missing horses with my second city) and not to improve copper for quite a while. I'd rather do some chopping.


The point is I really want this third city NE of warrior working quickly AND I need border pop for both new cities ASAP. It is 4 more boosted food tiles when I have culture pops in those cities! Its just my top priority and going for copper right now would simply mess all things and delay the 3rd city. So, my worker will chop for settler and then go to improve a pig to make monument whip.
God, I really hate those monuments.

The warrior went west to see that he can find in those goody huts. I still see some stuff to pillage in the other places, so I think I have reasonable chances for Judaism. My 5C furs will be online in 2 turns.

[Haram]

Last turn 3 gold from Hamlet, this turn 0 gold from cottage. That's kind of ... &?^#@$#&^Q !!!
Judaism a bit further.

German has horses connected, unfortunately I noticed that after moving settler/worker north. I need to rethink it all.

[Haram]

It looks like all in from Joey. I declared war and revolted to slavery.

[Haram]

I whiped a monument in my second city, as planned before. Obviously, I had to take settler south because I cant defend the pig location until I have spears in place. I'm only mad at myself I didnt mouse over those horses before moving units. It costs me 1 turn delay in hooking copper and 2 turn delay in settling city_3. I simply didnt expect German could settle such a poor second city, without a food.

[Haram]

I settled my 3rd city south of capital (screens soon, I dont have my laptop ATM). German attacked with 2 chariots. I whipped a spear and killed one of them, the other one will probably flee. I think I need to get another spear and march north as German is now able to settle pig/fish site.

He also built some more units, probably further chariots, but I didnt have time so far to analyze graphs. Linkin Park concert
