    /me takes a bow.

    If you meant the pic though, that was SCG. But as I said before, never let merit stand in the way of credit.

        actually i was referring to SP Scouse Gits...all you need is 150G and BW, HR or WC for this to work

        in x2 production its even easier.....but i generally don't bother unless i have 100g from the first hut....b/c 50g is better spent getting those units on the board if i know where a hut is...especially if i get horse

          Yes maybe two settlers if you find some money, a non-unit from a hut to explore and using your second non-settler (if you have one) to build a road to a close location so you don't have to support that first settler popped for more time than it takes to rush the second one.

              you can time two sets and a warrior if you do it correctly been there done that too many times...and i have found that if i get 50 g i will likely get the HR or BW and then more cash so i always use the second set for roading to move the sets along, then either use it for the fourth city or just keep it roading along the way

                Yep, in 2x prod, it's harder to get two out unless you start on a gold or iron. And there are those people that will send a hut found unit back to the cap to speed up the process by disbanding. Buy up through the second rack, then disband.

                  of course all my comments here unless otherwise stated are regarding x1 production Rah.....

                  in x2 if you build on iron you can easily build a set out of your first city.... in fact you should be able to easily build two...
                  i remember when i would pump out as many warriors from that iron as possible until i was down to 5 shields and then pump a set..times have changed

                    Iron - I understand, but Gold? - Please explain.

                      While it's easier to do it built on iron because of the production, in 2x, it still 21 turns to grow the city. If you build on gold, 21 turns your cap can produce over 100 gold (depending on the other square you're working). Which can be used to buy up. Less is needed from huts. And you'll be darn close to monarchy if not there already.

                            Gold isn't bad to build on in 1x either.

                                Agreed, it's more of a 2x strat.
