RBP3 [SPOILERS] - Zara of the Ottomans

[Pegasus]

Speaking with Ad on chat we agreed to move Conan West onto the hill.

Kull is heading up to the NW to recover the unfortunate Red Sonja's body (well whats left of it).

The map revealed some not so nice land South of Aquilonia. It may pick up further South though.



Aquilonia Border Pops next turn so we should get some more of those tiles revealed SW

We also agreed to now alter the plan slightly. We have queued up a 3rd Warrior instead of putting 2 turns into a Barracks. We need to change the tile worked next turn to the mine.

3rd Warrior is due in 3 turns but we hit size 4 in 2 turns. I cant make it any quicker, and trust me I have tried. Not to say you guys couldnt probably find the sequence though

Suggest we complete Warrior and then start Settler. Outcome is Settler delayed by 1 turn and arrives bang on BW.

I have not ended turn just in case.

Even with the slightly better odds we lost

That's a shame. We need to be more cautious .

I think after ad's additions it looks good to go, and the amended picture also looks fine.

If I was being really picky you need to change a few a's to an.

Will do. And message sent.

Speaking with Ad on chat we agreed to move Conan West onto the hill.

Kull is heading up to the NW to recover the unfortunate Red Sonja's body (well whats left of it).

Conan should move onto the furs this turn.

I actually think Kull should be MP and guard our 2nd city. See below.

3rd Warrior is due in 3 turns but we hit size 4 in 2 turns. I cant make it any quicker, and trust me I have tried. Not to say you guys couldnt probably find the sequence though

Suggest we complete Warrior and then start Settler. Outcome is Settler delayed by 1 turn and arrives bang on BW.

Check your e-mail. I haven't ended our t26 turn yet until I hear ad's thoughts but will do so if we are 2nd last (No way are we being last again, with Krill obsessing about that)

[WarriorKnight]

...but will do so if we are 2nd last (No way are we being last again, with Krill obsessing about that)

Well, ended turn with only SSS left to go (hope Krill isn't watching who is 2nd last to end turn as well, otherwise we might be in trouble ).

Moved Conan onto the fur tile since that seemed obvious.

We are currently in a disagreement about Kull so I didn't move him.

Worker finished mining the hill. Size 4 next turn.

Also note that next turn we need to be working the graasshillriver for the plan to work.

[ad hoc]

i think that Kull should stay within our borders, i was originally for scouting but in hindsight we need to keep him back as settler guard, next warrior (Solomon Kane) should do MP duty with Conan scouting the south.

Conan onto SW hill seems very obvious and as the turns rolled over someone can just go in and do it. perhaps he should come back NW next turn to scout to the west of the wheat.

have we sent message to DIM, think it will be prudent to do so now and then we can lay claim to our eastern lands prior to our settler coming out.

have we sent message to DIM, think it will be prudent to do so now and then we can lay claim to our eastern lands prior to our settler coming out.

Already done so. They sent back a quick reply.

quick reply guys. we've got the message and will come back asap with a full response. the writing trade is something that requires no discussion though, it's acceptable to us to trade for it with either hunting+masonry or hunting+poly. we don't mind the extra beaker cost and are happy to give you the more expensive tech if you want it (assuming it's on the rsch path of whatever tech we agree to trade you). so we can already pencil in writing for hunting + one of masonry/poly.

FYI we'll meet another civ next turn unless hernan gets ambushed by a barb hiding in fog.

your screenshot was well received and we will respond with similar openness.

sorry for the brief reply but just like you, we like to give all 3 players a chance to have their say. so i've probably already overstepped the mark

Meatbalz for DIM

2 main things are that they are happy to trade poly + hunting for writing , and they will meet another civ next turn.

Agree about Kull and Conan movements.

Make sure that we switch to settler this turn. Kull can be MP for now and settler guard while the next warrior can be MP for cap after settler and workers.

[WarriorKnight]

OK, just had a chat with meatbalz from DIM. History is recorded but here are the main parts:

• The civ that they have just met is India
  
• They are on the other side of us
  
• They are further away than DIM expected them to be
  
• It sounds like they are favoring Monarchy over CoL due to beaker costs
  

Rego & sunrise & darreljs & soooo are going to be our neighbors? This could get interesting .

[ad hoc]

Bismarck of India, nearly choked on my flapjack and coffee (teabreak time), could have been worse (KK of Rome).

hopefully DIM and us can forge a good relationship and with Bismarck being quite far away seems to suggest we'll have a lot of land to Rex into without upsetting anybody. perhaps we've got crappish land but lots off it.

Look forward to seeing the DIMs map...back to work

[WarriorKnight]

Did T27:



Icky plain tiles. Let's hope something redeems this site for the fur

Moved Kull back to Aquilonia for now. I think he should stay there until we can say for sure that the horse site is our next city spot (or until the settler is almost complete).

Moved worker to hill (we need to name this guy) and changed to the riverhill according to plan. Also started settler now that we are size 4.

Demog's in the usual folder.

Team Nice

Well this is heating up fast. Notice that they came from the south, so it is possible that they came from that direction.

Nonetheless we have some decisions to make. Firstly, we need to inform DIM about them (and should probably include an espionage agreement too). Secondly we need to decide if they should be in our tech agreement.

DIM needs to be informed ASAP, so I have sent off this quick mail to them.

Honourable triumvirate of DIM

Just a quick message saying that we have found Carthage at the end of last turn. Now that we both have contact with other civilizations, can we make an informal agreement not to use espionage against each other?

Enough Talking!
