[SPOILERS] Pindicator emerges from the wilderness to play pb74

Why when you clearly have the best one available?

So as we wait for the map to be finished, does anybody have a good naming theme in mind?

Your favorite wilderness areas?

I actually just took a nap (took the day off) and had a similar thought. Favorite views / places on your hikes. Post a picture to go along with city.

I rather like this idea, except I'm not sure I could fill a large empire with it ... but it's a good starting point

Well that's certainly lush.

Confirming that I am sticking with Zara Yaqob of Sumeria

trick is to keep your city-count low

First thought about this opening: What about work boat first? We have to research Fishing (79b) and so the work boat will finish before Fishing, but it will speed up the worker after and growth to 2 while the worker improves the wheat. Then possibly a settler at 2. Something like: Work Boat (5) > Worker (15) > Warrior and Growth to 2 (20) > Settler (29).

I'm now leaning away from Fishing and going work boat first, but not because it's a bad opening. It's honestly the best opening for a tile yield point of view. However, Hitru has been impressing the importance of an early religion since the start, and I definitely can see why you would want to go for that in a large game. So if we delay fishing and just go straight Mysticism > Meditation, we can get it by eot18. Plus we still have 2 good bonus resources to work at the capital.

I bet Commodore we'd be running by Friday. Am I about to lose that bet?
