    AU 601: Theseus' Greek (duh) DAR 1

    I find this whole structure very intriguing... I am DYING to see the other Greek DARs!!

    So, since I'm late to the party, I'm not going to bother with screenies unless there is something particular to my game.

    Here we go:

    I settled on the start, and sent the Worker 6 to irrigate the cows. I'm not sure if everyone know this, but on your first turn with a built town, you have to F6 to select a tech to research... otherwise you lose one turn. I did so, selecting Writing as only two of the civs have Alphabet (one being Greece, of course!), and notched up to 100%. Building a Warrior for exploration.

    I am proud to report that Athens is ALREADY ahead of Rome on the F11 screen!

    Anybody have thoughts re a Settler Pump at the Greek starting position?

        T - One option is to cut the jungle on the banana tile so he could get to +5 food, but the problem with that is the number of worker turns required to cut that jungle.

        +4 food isn't as flashy, but can be used pretty well. You can go with +2 food (using forest to boost shields) for a turn in each growth cycle, so you go +2, +4, +4 (growth), and repeat. With the extra shields you can punch out a hoplite here and there.

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

            Oh... I thought there was a banana within the expanded radius of the Greek start spot. Hang on a minute...

              Err, the banana 99 of the spot your settler starts. You said you settled right there. So the banana should be due north (8) of your worker right now.

                That is the value of a screenie, even for a late starter. To help us poor readers from getting mixed up.

                          I'm not sure what to do Theseus. I don't think this needs a restart, but it's up to you.

                            I'll post in the Protocol thread... I'd rather have the banana if everyone else does.
