    Dirty Bunny

    the year is 3050 BC and we seem to be crawling in the mud. We have 2 cities, 14 GP, and techs are taking 9 turns. On the flip side, Demographics lists us as 1st in everything (despite no Top 5 cities).

    3050 -- ENTER

    3000 -- Discover Code of Laws
    -- Nothing on the path. Techs offered are: Bronze, Make Maps, Masonry, Pottery, War Code, and Writing.
    -- Since we can't work toward WoWs, we take Writing (for Dirty Dips and 3rd-row RB) as our off-tech. Lets us use unsupported dips for exploration and treaty-breaking.
    --Rush warrior in Slimeball to prevent disorder.

    2950 -- Slimeball builds Warrior, starts Settler. Hut spotted.

    2900 -- Hut = Advanced Tribe! Renamed as Dust Bunny. Legion re-homes there.
    --Warrior uncovers Buff-Wine-Silk-Coal spot. Not much food, but 2 much-need trade specials... Two cities here would be nice...

    2850 -- Hut = chariot.

    2800 -- Mudville builds Settler, heads for eastern trade specials.

    2550 -- Barb archer/king duo appears near trade specials.

    2450 -- Discover Writing. Start on Ceremonial Burial.

    2300 -- Slimeball builds Settler.
    --Tacitus epic history notes we are 2nd largest civ. Dirty Bunny's reaction: "Great!"

    2100 -- Barb kills our valiant warrior.
    -- Dust Bunny builds settler.
    -- Eastern hut nets us a horsie (attached )

    2050 -- Hut = horse.

    The Dirty Bunny retires. We've added one city, but have 3 settlers on the hoof. One is headed toward the Whale at the west end of our land. another is headed for the two fish north of (the pathetically placed) Slimeballl), and the third is sitting on the Wine to the east (having finished a frustratingly long game of dodge-the-barb). This last one should probably irrigate before founding.

    Reminders:
    --With a size-8 limit, don't be afraid to overlap cities.
    --Given our pathetic research rate, the next ruler may want to delay hut-popping until we've selected Monarchy (which should be very soon). In other words, do as I say, not as I do!

    Notes:
    Sadly, our western frontier ends quickly. Looks like the open land is to the east, and the hut-horse popped on the eastern frontier was still attached, so there should be room to expand out there. We now have a sufficiency of city sites and still haven't met any AI civs, so spit out them Settlers...

    WELCOME DEBEEST!!!!!!!

          I knew if I slept in late, things would happen.

          Thanks for the list, Duke

          Great progress, JR (-- hmmm initials of JR, Central time zone, willing to get dirty, wonder if he has OIL connenctions...?)

            Very good (should I say "bad") idea for a succession game

            I'm already slowing down O Sole Mio and Scorched Earth so I won't try to participate on this one

            But I am curious to see how this one will go

              Saw in the Status thread that La Fayette had extra information -- maybe we can put that to use...

              La Fayette, If STYOM is out of action for the rest of this month, would you mind stepping and getting a little dirty on his behalf?

                OK, I play tomorrow and post as soon as I get out of my bathroom.

                  What were you thinking of, going into the bathroom?
                  Unless you were having a mud bath, like pachyderms, or a dust bath, like birds.

                  Since STYOM is missing at the moment, then it doesn't matter if -Jrabbit goes in at number 2 permanently. Fortunately we have SG to strengthen the middle order, before the traditionally English tail-end collapse. (Except Zedd & debeest of course)
                  Things could (and should) get messy....

                    Don't worry duke, I will be takeing my fair share of RCC after my turns as well.

                    Looking forward to visiting the institute.
                    At least I won't have to clean the floors again my toothbrush wouldn't hold up.

                      Heh. I'm expecting my full share of RCC as well.

                      And I have plenty of old used toothbrushes.

                        Dirty glance #1: Monarchy discovered in 1400BC (must have missed 1450BC by 1 beaker)
                        Dirty glance #2: Our glorious city of Nobath (size 1) is going to build a settler next turn (what happened is that a Barb archer climbed on top of the wine hill close by and the worker was automatically moved to the buffalo)

                        Otherwise it went rather smoothly:

                        2000BC: Dung City founded

                        1950BC: Noshower founded

                        1900BC: Nobath founded

                        1800BC: Ceremonial Burial discovered

                        1400BC: Monarchy (aaaaargh)

                        1250BC: Monarchy established (at long last)

                        1150BC: Bronze Working discovered

                        1100BC: The nasty Barb archer is killed by our valiant chariot in Nobath (but the settler cannot be delayed )

                          One more point:

                          Given the size (and the shape) of the map, I guess that Marco should be given a high priority if we wish to get real nasty before 1000AD (that's why I chose BW and Currency after Monarchy).

                            One wonders what you would have chosen if building Marco was illegal under the rules...oops, it is illegal.

                            Unless I'm missing something, the Awful Tower is the only WOW that can be owned by 'our' civ.

                                Looking at the save, one would think that the build order in Nobath should be changed so the city doesn't disappear.
