[Spoilers] Meiz Polishes his game

[Meiz]

I'm getting a quick settler out, since it'll be 2 turns before I can start the National College. I'm currently thinking city spots along this line, with red dots being primary ones. The next settler would go straight to western spot. It's not so strong site tile-wise, but defensively it's the best site I can see next to Azza. Plus it grabs the faith natural wonder.

Grats to Chichen

How do the demos look ?

Western spot is really good to defend - especially if you have a ship or two on the inner lake.

Demo's are about the same. Last in GNP (not worried yet), first on pop, mfg, prod. Second on military, right behind Jkaen.

Perfect timing

Okay, time for a general status update.

Capital just finished National College, and is now starting the run for Oracle. It's only 5 turns, so would be foolish not to try

Krakow is building the Writer's guild, to get writer points rolling. I might even hire couple of writers to speed up culture, until I get university and scientists in place.

Lodz is building a cargo ship, which will be used to ship food from Wroclaw to my soon-to-be-founded city (you can see the settler on his way on the left side).

Happiness wise I'm still ok. Silver will soon be online and Wroclaw has still cheap circus to be built.

I'm beelining towards universities to get scientists hired asap. That should do wonders for my science output. Then straight to Acoustics so I can start my way on Rationalism social policy tree. The free policy from changing the era will become especially handy here

Demos (golden age):

Jowy has 5 cities, me and Jkaen have 4 and for some reason Azza is doing a 3 city challenge.

He has neither the lowest pop nor the lowest cropyield so maybe he tried for a wonder (CI) or barbs disturbed his expansion.


I would really like a city between Wroclaw and warsaw. maybe on the GL southwest of the Banana. The copper to build things(lib,uni,observatory), the banana to grow and 6 or so jungles waiting for tradeshops for science and money. It won't be the best city ever but I think its a good city to connect Wroclaw with the empire.

I'm planning the blue dot shown in post #91. It would be coastal, so therefore could also be used to ship food via trade routes.

Well yeah, I see your point on getting a city between the two cities. Makes both cities easier to defend. I'll have to think about it...

Well blue dot would be foodless until 3rd ring and need a lot of babysitting. Wroclaw and the soon to be founded western red dot are both on the inner sea so can feed each other anyway.

What about a city between bananas and copper? It would be on a hill for better defense, while still having access to about the same tiles. It would also get couple fresh water tiles. I think that spot would be easier to defend and it could also provide support if Jkaen at some point decides to attack my capital.
