A real update! Seemed necessary as there's been some action.
To circle back to this picture, Naufragar moved the eastern warrior away and the western warrior onto the flatland directly north of my warrior. I was vaguely tempted to take the 50/50 shot given that I can see his empty capital, but it smelled sort of like a trap to me given that he's surely about to complete a warrior or else why would he move like that. I still might have taken the shot, but something bad happened.
I lost my warrior escort at 80% odds. He was sitting on the forest hill I intend to settle on. Insert my anti-barbarian manifesto from early on in PB53 here. That forced me to delay the settling of this city by several turns, which really sucked. With that in mind, I offered peace, and he agreed. I figured my warrior probably delayed his settler by a couple turns, so mission accomplished. I might have moved into an outright choke had I not lost this warrior (note the other warriors incoming too), but it's not meant to be.
This is an old picture, but I'm posting it because it appears a barbarian city has settled on the tile the warrior inhabits right now. I just completed Wheel and I'm hooking my Horse, so I'll probably capture it fairly soon. That's a nice break. I do need to wait long enough to let it grow to size 2, and looking at those first ring tiles, it might be awhile. It's possible I'm wrong about where it settled. Ugh, I may have to raze it.
I saw Naufragar move up with a pair of warriors this current turn, so I took a slight risk and pushed my settler up here a turn early despite there being two possible 2-move barb animal tiles in range of it. I figured it was unlikely because there's been a million units around here, including Vanrober's scout somewhere in this vicinity. Looks like I'm safe and good to settle next turn. I think I'll be the first of my neighbors to 3 cities, but I'm a little unclear about that given that I can't see cities on the trading screen, but I do see city counts on the scoreboard? But I don't know if those are real city counts or lying counts similar to how it worked in Always War where it updates when you've seen evidence of another city. It seems unlikely Vanrober is still on 1 city, so that's why I'm unsure.
