PBEM8 - regoarrarr takes over for Meatbalz

nada de nada. we're waiting for shoot the moon to come back, and at that point if cjreynol hasn't shown up we'll either replace him in-game or start over with another person in his place. the game is on hold, basically.

good thing i can plot world domination in PBEM10 to keep me going :neenernee

Good, because you'll need a lot of plotting! wink

I had your starting position here, but I was legitimately reminded that it might affect to your selection so I removed it temporarily until we've your picks finalized.

Here is the start. I had Mongolia as a placeholder, but I'll fix it when I get the game going:

thanks kyan. i did settle in place, warrior start, BW tech. i know it's AW anyway but i have an axe to grind with ad hoc, whose subpar picks mean i'm facing pacal of inca and sury of india smoke i hope one of those 2 is nearby so i can choke them.

will post thoughts on picks soon but i'm happy with mine - although not as happy as sury and pacal must be rolleye

1st warrior produced, and i play the turn last so i know nobody else has built a second warrior yet.

i switched off the 3/0/1 FP to the 2/1/1 wheat to get it done, which is fine since i still grow in 2T.

i'll put 2T of hammers into another warrior (my last one), then start worker at size 2. both the warriors will go looking for trouble devil

quick update: discovered BW, will switch this turn. i have 3 warriors, 2 running around, 1 close to home. i haven't met anyone yet. most of the others went worker first so the sooner i find someone the better.

busy turn. i met india (circled in red on the far right side). my 3rd warrior who's exploring the jungle SE of the capital is going to circle around and look for a path - let's see if i can slow his expansion down any.

i also discovered copper close to the capital. right now my planned city sites are the 3 circled in red on the left. the one right next to the capital would be the logical one but if i aim for the S one first i would pretty much seal off the SW so at the moment i'm leaning towards that option.

rsch set to hunting. my build path will be a little weird, worker chopping into worker while i research hunting->ag->AH. weird because i'm starting it T10 not T0. workers will chop out a holkan or two.

about that last part, it amazes me how many people have gone worker first. i know we have 3-hammer plants, and i know RB is a friendly environment, but still... i hope i can make them pay. i will definitely take any 50/50 shots i can get.

apologies for lack of pictures, i'll make sure i add some soon.

i have 1 warrior in india's BFC and another on the edge, coming from the NW and SW respectively.
i have 1 warrior looking around native america, i went up to their borders and then turned away which they'll hopefully interpret as a friendly gesture
i have 1 worker which just moved to a forest plains hill + will chop
i have 1 worker in the production queue in the capital
i'm researching ag->AH... for now
next build depends on how things go in india. most likely a holkan to sit on their copper.
demographics are shockingly poor, apart from soldier count. 2 workers will help fix that
