[SPOILERS!] Pericles of Babylon. Kyan, Twinkletoes, Whosit.

[Kyan]

I actually agree with their proposals. I will suggest we go alphabet as it's a fairly dominant tech and we've been mentioning it already. Byz are getting IW now and i will suggest Mali do Monarchy. England are a long way from Maths or any other relevant tech though but they are getting some nice back-fill ones. I think them getting hunting/archery and then HBR is good for us as a whole. Even if we won't be getting horses anytime soon.

I guess this just means we need more in the bloc! Onward La Francais! Gives you a chance to practice your french Monsier TT.

FRENCH BIT

I agree with your points. What I would like to see is some document or forum post where we lay out all our diplomatic plans.

Example:

[SIZE="2"]NAPS[/SIZE]

MALI Until Turn ___ - Auto Renew - ____ Cool Off - ____
ENGLAND Until Turn ___ - Auto Renew - ____ Cool Off - ____
BYZANTIUM Until Turn ___ - Auto Renew - ____ Cool Off - ____

[SIZE="2"]TECH AGREEMENTS[/SIZE]

MALI ___________________ for __________________________
ENGLAND ___________________ for __________________________
BYZANTIUM ___________________ for ________________________

obviously we add/take away as things are negotiated, but it would be good to have one place to look to see what is agreed/proposed.

What do you reckon?

[Twinkletoes89]

Also, with the French, we have to figure out who has more friends in the France/HRE 'dispute', though perhaps carving up our northern civ (HRE?) with the other might be advantageous both from a landgrab and political point of view

[Whosit]

Geez . . . can't keep up.

All I want to say right now is: Finish a Barracks before building Axemen. Starting with a promotion is a big deal.

Also: It would have been more appropriate if France and England were displeased with each other.

Off-topic: By the way, you can still cover me in PB2, right Kyan?

[Kyan]

Well, Whosit, i would have been but i think i've hit a snag.

My civ computer is down meaning i won't be able to play a turn today at least. HOPEFULLY i can get this rectified tomoro but i am going to run out of time tonight to sort it i think.

I can still access the forums and email though. TT, are you cool to cover the turns?

[Twinkletoes89]

I should be fine - will do this one now.

[Twinkletoes89]

One thing about the turn - we can complete Pottery next turn even if we do 0% research. I think its worth it as it will give us more gold to play with. Please respond asap if you disagree

[Kyan]

Agreed. Next turn we will need to work out how many turns we need to stay at 0% for to then 100% to writing.

[Twinkletoes89]

Ok turn played.

Wyrmsbane has kept moving north with no impediment and is at full health.

Eastern scout is at 1 health but had to be moved away from lion onto forested hill to start healing if they survive next turn.

Copper mine is complete, Road back to genesis is nearly complete.

Oh and England have 3 cities already it seems

3 already is fairly impressive The worker that finished road on copper needs to road the forest to the NW. That forest is partially cut as well so might as well finish it off into a barracks.

Plako is going to have to heal asap to try and fogbust for city 3. Probly gonna have to move the warrior from Genesis in that direction also. Bah we need more military
