[spoilers] novice & moon shoot the world

By the way, the password to our civ is egypt

And here's an updated sandbox:

[Commodore]

So how long does that theme have until it turns sociopath-murderous? Tell, Sergeant York, Robin Hood, um..?

[novice]

I guess we'll have to use our imagination, Commodore.

Not much to talk about yet - the plains hill, sugar, and desert hill in the west are all alternative second city locations, so I like scouting out that area.

Serdoa's GNP indicates a first tier tech. He starts with Agri and Myst, but both Wheel, Mining and Hunting could make sense for him.

What I like about our planned tech path is that instead of enabling improvement of the ivory or sheep ASAP, we enable our key benefit of whipping with expansive granaries ASAP. After all, a granary is roughly equivalent to an extra tile producing the same amount of food as your current food surplus, so in a city with +6 food that's a fairly important "tile" to get online. (And then you need slavery to materialize the benefit of this virtual tile.)

[Shoot the Moon]

We're really having this big of a problem over the location of a starting warrior?

[novice]

I'll play turn one now.

[Shoot the Moon]

Also, suggestion for thread name:

novice & moon shoot the world

Similar to before, but rolls of the tongue a lot better.

The desert hill looks like a great city spot... for Seven.

[novice]

We might have to settle on that flood plains NE of the corn.

Save's flying, but I'm away from civ now. I'd move NW next to start our clockwise circle.

[novice]

Moved the warrior NW, revealing a hill and nothing else. Our southeast seems to be blocked off by peaks and water.
