RPB3 SPOILERS Bismarck of India (regoarrarr, darrelljs, sooooo, sunrise089)

[spacemanmf]

We should have our 3rd city up (I guess near the stone?) before too terribly long, as long as we can get enough military to credibly defend it.

So where's it going exactly? North of Happy Hour near Exploit's new city?

I think we figured out 1W of the stone was the best place. But I'm not looking at the map right now

[regoarrarr]

Inca's 2nd city grew to size 3 (Cap is still at size 3 and probably building a W/S)
Egypt, HRE and Aztecs all grew capital from 3->4
Carthage settled their 3rd city
Byzantium whipped their capital from 3->2

Krill and England both researched techs.

Question about our five warriors: Do any have pre-assigned movements, or am I free to move them as I see fit this turn?

[darrelljs]

Archery? Man I think The Wheel is next, then Iron Working.

But why should we research The Wheel if we're a) not going to have it before T63 and b) someone that will trade / give it to us already has it?

I think the warriors are free to move. Southern one is heading south, western one should head west and then around the north of Portugal's borders to meet Rome's warrior.

We should probably keep at least 1 around in case Exploit gets frisky

[sunrise089]

Northern warrior moved 1S, warrior just outside Exploit's land moved back 1SE, remaining warrior (sort of NW) moved adjacent to that wounded lion.

[regoarrarr]

I think that it's 3 turns farm (2 to go)

[darrelljs]

Okay, IF we can confirm we are getting The Wheel just as fast if we go for a different tech next, I'm fine with that. However, I still think we should go Iron Working next instead of Archery. It is what we signed up for in the initial agreement, and it will allow us to improve our Silver and find Iron.

We need to make absolutely certain someone is giving us The Wheel and Pottery as soon as Krill slings Alphabet, and that they are willing to wait for us to research the techs we owe them in return. I don't see anyone really organizing this grand alliance; Krill set the stage but I think he wants everyone else to do the leg work and its just not happening. I'd like it to happen, but I think we should treat it as vapor ware until it comes to fruition.

Is there any reason why you wouldn't settle on the stone? What are the pros and cons?
