[SPOILERS] Welcome to the Kuro Corporation! (Kuro and BaII)

As long as we have some kind of broad plan for the future, I wouldn't say we would be thinking too far ahead.

What does REXing mean anyways? It's something close to EXPANSION MODE right?

KK thanks, although I thought it is more commonly referred to as ICS

REX is just fast expansion, ICS is going for high city count (usually fitting cities as close to each other as possible).

Yeah, REX = Rapid EXpansion. ICS is smushing cities together.

I really wonder how much space we'll end up getting between civs. On one hand, more space = less rush chance, which is good. On the other hand, it'll mean more barbarians, and we might get pressed...

I think we want to get a production city out early if possible and use it to pump out military (and possibly slip in Workers) to deal with barbarians, though without seeing the map it is just conjecture.

Here's your start, anything might change, etc, etc.

We could possibly move down a tile to pick more forests to chop, but we'd probably have to give up too many food resources. We should sent the scout down to see if there are any more food resources

Unless the Scout shows more food resources and good ones, I think the right move is to settle in place. The tile 1N of the Corn seems to be forest, so that would give us 6 Forests (Not counting the Deer). Normal Speed Stonehenge is 120 hammers.

So here's the plan I suggest if we want to go for Stonehenge:
Tech Path of Bronze Working -> Mysticism -> Agriculture
Worker -> Worker -> Stuff (Work Boats, probably) -> Stonehenge
Use one forest to chop out the second Worker quicker
Use the other 5 Forests to get 100 hammerd into Stonehenge
Stonehenge can then either be quickly slowbuilt or, my preferred option, immediately whipped to completion, or can be started on soon enough that 100 hammers finishes it.
