Turn 27 played. BW in 2. Pindicator's cities both grew to size 2 this turn, and Sian got a tech. Beaker count would seem to support either Mining or Pottery but I'm putting it as Mining because Creative Sian working a double pre-req tech of Pottery would have had a higher GNP these past turns than there was. Now the top GNP is 26, which would seem consistent with Gaspadore now researching Pottery (they finished Agriculture the turn before and therefore would have selected a new tech this turn)

Played T29. Nobody had any score increases. Except me! At EOT, double pop growth (to 3/3 - goooo early Expansive granaries!) and Bronze Working

Copper is not on the western island, but on a southern one. The planned city on the ice hill will grab it with a border pop.

Speaking of border pops, still not sure what to do about that. Sailing is next, and then probably Hunting (for the furs) but I'm tempted then to go up the religious line for a religion and/or Stonehenge.

T30 and 31 played.

I actually paused my granary in So Ugly and swapped to a settler. Since I'm not growing there while building a settler, the lack of a granary doesn't cost anything. Plan is to whip the granary into the settler once it will complete the settler.

Sailing due at EOT35, and I plan to whip overflow / chop into a galley in So Fat so that a galley will complete in 1t at EOT36.

In looking at the tech that Yuris completed last turn, I'm guessing it was Masonry. He starts with Mysticism, and teched Mining before that (T25), and the max GNP is lower this turn (indicating him or someone possibly swapping off of a 2 pre-req tech).

He settled his 3rd city this turn, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was ON the stone, going for a Stonehenge build. He's Exp/Imp so Stonehenge makes a lot of sense for him.

Turns are flying fast and furious here. Me likey! thumbsup

It is currently T32.

So Fat:
Size 4, working plains cow, floodplain farm, floodplain cottage and floodplain hamlet
Food: 13/18, 7fpt, granary full
Production: Workboat 19/20, 4hpt

So Ugly:
Size 3, working plains wheat farm, plains cow, riverside grass mine
Food: 1/17, 4fpt, granary empty
Production; Settler 24/65, 8hpt or 12f-hpt. Also have 36/40 into a granary in the queue.

The overall plan is that So Fat will finish the workboat, then put hammers into a worker, double whipping it into a galley, which will be finished with a chop the same turn that Sailing comes in. When I grew to size 4 last turn and worked the new FP cottage, that cut a turn off of Sailing, which will now be due on BOT 35.

The worker "Stonehenge as CRE" will move 1NW on to the PFH this turn. He will chop turn 33, 34, 35.

So Fat:
T32: 13/18, 19/20
T33: 11/19, 3 hammers overflow, work a 1/0/2 coast, makes 6fpt, 4 (+3 overflow = 7) hpt
T34: 11/19, 14/40 in the worker, double whip the worker (64/40), work the cow, farm and hamlet.
T35: 11/17, Sailing in, 28 overflow hammers. Chop comes in
T36: Size 4, 8/18, 12 overflow hammers into settler, 7 fpt, 4hpt.
T37: 8/18, 23/65. Swap to work mine instead of hamlet, 5fpht, 7hpt
T38: 8/18, 35/65. Need to sim out whether we should grow to size 5 or 6 here or finish the settler.


So Ugly:
T32: 1/17, 24/65
T33: 1/17, 36/65 in settler. Swap back to the granary and whip it (makes it 76/40)
T34: 6/16, 36/65, work cows and wheat, 5fpt and 5hpt with 25 overflow hammers
T35: 6/16, 1 overflow hammer, workboat. Settler is born, moves to So Fat. Work cow and wheat
T36: 11/16, 6/20
T37: 8/17, 11/20. Work hamlet, 6fpt, 5hpt
T38: 14/17, 16/20
T39:

Next city (need name!) founded on the wheat island on T38.

I did a check on whether it was better to go settler / granary or the reverse.

Whipping the settler on T34 then overflowing into the granary gives 6/16 food and 16 overflow hammers on T36. Settler born on T35, Granary on T36.
Whipping the granary on t33 then overflowing into the settler gives 11/16 food and 6 hammer on T36. Granary on T34, settler born on T35.

So it's 5 food vs. 10 hammers - about equal, but I think at this point I want food more than hammers.

So as Cyneheard pointed out, we're going to need a new worker name and a new city name here.

In my shameless plug to catch up to Gaspadore, I'm trolling for ideas

Worker names = weedy Civ moves
City names = your mom jokes

Hook me up guys!
