Public figures is pretty big. Maybe you should just grandfather Charlie Sheen in since he has MADE so much news that he counts!

I don't know, does Scooter's city have many leather bound books and smell of rich mahogany?

True true. I'll save Charlie Sheen for something big later - perhaps a Great General Cataphract or something. My initial warrior will definitely be named to Ron Burgundy, as that's just too good to pass up.

I've never actually used a naming scheme on units before, so I may need reminders from time to time. I doubt I will name workers, as that just seems like too much work. Excuse the accidental pun.

Any updates? (Yes, I am demanding news after measly 24 hours)

Judging by the tech thread, Sandover sat on the save.

But look at it from scooter's point of view ... why does he need to make an effort to spam the thread when we seem quite capable of managing that all by ourselves? lol

I don't know about trying to look at it from Scooter's pov. I'd be scared to try to think that way!

Mmm, good point there ... I bet it's a Lovecraftian type thing - if you ever manage to do it, you'll never be the same again! bangyikes

Hah, well we missed a turn yesterday (Sandover's fault!), but I woke up this morning to find Turn 6 in my inbox. I played it and passed it on. I started the report, but didn't have time to finish it until now... So here we are:

Turn 6 is in, and I am immediately greeted with the Agriculture splashscreen:

One down, lots to go. Exploring warrior seems to have found some green land. I think I'm going to place my second city either down here on the coast with the corn, or up further north with the pigs. Perhaps I'll attempt a way-too-early dotmap this afternoon and see where that gets me.

I will probably be pushing eastward for expansion - or at least that's my early thought. We can also confirm that Sandover and Serdoa went worker first:

Well, either that or one/both of them are not working a 3 food tile..? Seems unlikely. I'll know for sure next turn... One last thing seemed interesting to me:

Obviously Gaspar either finished his warrior or he has swapped to a worker. I'm guessing he probably barely finished the warrior last turn, and he has moved on to a worker, adjusting the tiles he works so that he can receive the Expansive worker bonus. Makes sense.
