City Build Orders 3150 BC

[Bob_Smurf42]

We have 4 horses, 3 archers, 1 warrior.
We have 3 warriors and 1 settler in prod.
Improvments are: Palace, Barracks, Granary, Courthouse, and City Walls.
Wonders are: Pyramids, Gardens, Great Wall.

Majestica and Dominion will finish a warrior in 1 turn, Glorificus will finish a warrior in 9 turns, Imperialis will finish a settler in 10 turns.

Please write which city(s) to build Improvments/Wonders in.

I'd like it if all cities built settlers to expand quickly. These should ideally be escorted by a Warrior or one of our Archers, but not unless we are near to the black.

Nothing more specific than that yet.

We have enough units, lets start building more city's.

I think settlers would be a nice change(Don't have to include those in my poll's )

I meant to make this multiple choice, but My connection was freaking out, and I couldn't get a new reply up. I think we should build more settlers, since we already have enough military units.

[cavebear]

That's the unanimous choice so far.

I thought we weren't building Wonders in this game? If so, was it a mistake to put it as a polling option, or just there to confuse us?

AFAIK it was only no caravans (no wonders would be a consequence since they take away too much resources...at least for now)

A mistake, the poll said no caravans and no wonders:

(P.S.-101 posts, woohoo!)

[cavebear]

This game is both no Caravans and no Wonders (but we can capture Wonders built by other civs).

[MrWhereItsAt]

A unanimous poll! I'm not sure I've EVER seen that.

[Ben Kenobi]

Everybody wanted a challenge.

However, since we do not have wonders, we are limited in the expansion available. How many cities can we build before unhappiness becomes a factor? Seven?

[BruceTheStupid]

I've never played a game restricting myself to not building Wonders.....interesting . I would say a key aspect of military strategy needs to be keeping an eye on who's building what, and capturing the key Wonders as soon as they're built, if possible.

In terms of expansion, if we're going to be restricted (I think it might be size 6) by unhappiness before we get to Fundamentalism, that means both Settler production and conquest in the early stages is particularly important - ie my favourite tactic of "getting in amongst 'em". Give the AI something to attack near to each CIVs capital and it will spend disproportionate amounts of effort on that city rather than where you might be weak.

Yeah. Build a few cities on mountains and fill them with pikemen!
