Hashoosh gets into bed and Dhalphir sometimes watches from the closet (SPOILERS)

[Hashoosh]

Another one for our scout!

Logged in to take a look around. That gold's not looking accessible until IW, we'd want a few cities in between.

For our next scout stuff, heal, then go looking for where goreripper is?

[Dhalphir]

I have the feeling goreripper is probably due east of our capital. I think we should head due east from our current position, defog as much of the "mid game" territory as possible.

[Hashoosh]

We should especially figure out where our front cities are going to be. If he is 12 tiles or less away (which he almost is guarenteed to be, from the position of his scout on t6) from that peak tile I've signed, the river valley next to that plains hill south of the peak is likely the midpoint, or close enough to it that we'd want to claim it for strategic depth.

Settling on that hill, or the goreripper scout hill look both to be good defensible sites.

Edit: This thread title is creeping me out, good thing I don't have a closet in my room! Hah!

[Dhalphir]

i wanted to reflect the fact that you are in the drivers seat while i am firmly playing second fiddle to you as the pilot

lots of analogies in that sentence

[Hashoosh]

I got the metaphor :P

[Hashoosh]

So from what I can glean from some other Pitbosses, it appears that Krill and Gaspar are in a flamewar over some sort of tier list?
I think we, as a definite authority on the matter, should put an end to this nonsense.

[Hashoosh]

Well, I bring good tidings. Excellent tidings actually.




We've apparently hit the jackpot! The worker was 1t away from finishing the fine when we finished BW, so now we've got a 1/5/1 tile to go with our 5/0/1. Things are lookin up for us!

How would you feel about a strike against goreripper with this copper? We found another city and then chop/whip an army to go hurt him badly, or even knock him out? Obviously, we'll have to get a feel for our surroundings, and potential neighbours, but given that we haven't met anyone else yet, I'd say he's probably going to hemming us in on our peninsula, or something like that.

[Dhalphir]

There is no way we'd have copper in the BFC unless everybody does. Serdoa isn't going to unbalance the game like that.

not to put a damper on your war enthusiasm

but i really think that aggressive ancient age wars benefit nobody except the people who aren't involved.

[Dhalphir]

We'd be better off using the safety this copper provides to tech hard and fast and expand outwards.

How goes it?
