after our first little strawl into the world there are many possible discisions to make.
(see image for info)

First priority: the barb horsemen.
Since our current turn is gone there is no real certainty to attack it...
but what do we do is the horsemen decides to go to Majestica..do we rush a defender(note we have NO GOLD ) and there are no more then 3 turns before the attack... So if the horsemen would go for Majestic and we have the gold: do we rush or do we let them sack the city, and take it back later or even use it as barbfarm?

The orders for the archer are quite obvious: follow the arrows; home means=> go to that city and defend it
Circle means make a circular motion in exploring.

10-> 13 are the orders for the warrior in Imperialis
10: stay there
11->13 explore.

finally we have 3 cities where should horsemen be build?

--> 3 days to answer our questionair
(the horsebuildorders are if the cityplanning/building orders minister orders to build millitary units)

Gimme a banana now!

Seriously, don't you think that was a wee bit complex?

Nope There is a nice picture that exactly shows the routes what more is needed?
Yes it were a lot of options but here's your reward:

my first two pennies, just explore as much as we can around our cities

[Ben Kenobi]

Routes 1,6,12.

No rhyme or reason.

The barb should attack the archer. I don't think they are smart enough to march for our undefended city.

Build as many horsemen as you can so that we can explore the world, and harvest available resources for our future empire.

most probably but you never know...a stroke of genius from the AI could give us a heart-attack

my favorites are 4, 5&9 , 10 and let the horses do the hard work.

Go North!

LOL!. I can't wait to see the options when we have several units available. One of my heroes, Rube Goldberg, would be proud of this.

[cavebear]

But 2, 6, 8, 12 or 13 look best. I'm really curious about the apparent bands of terrain. Could be a prize in the box or a trap. Might as well find out early.

lets see an average of 4 routes/unit and max 24 options of wich one should be a banana... that would make a maximum of 6 units

Hmmm, 6 units with 8 possible directions each turn is 48 directions each turn, factorial, I think. (48*47*46...*3*2*1) Been a few decades since I had to do probability theory.

looks like it has been a while...
6 units , 8 directions=>48 options if you give all units there seperate options, when all combined
(U1 goes W3,U2 goes W1,...,U6 goes W5),(U1 goes W3,U2 goes W3,...,U6 goes W6),...
that would give 8*8*8*8*8*8=262144 options
(I will not post such a poll )

and where the 48! comes from I don't know but that is way out of the question.

48!=1,24139155925360725 x 10^61
Hmm anyone up for posting more then 5,1724 x 10^59 threads with 24 option poll's...It would give a major boost to your postcount

3, 5, 13, 3 horses, protect the city, and give me a banana now!

Yes, just a wee bit. But it was also very clear.

[cavebear]

Any unit has 8 directions to go. 6 units have that number factorial.
