  • Progress Report

    Okay, here's my first report/summary of things that have occured.
    We found ourself on a small peninsula, and moved the worker to explore. Found a good spot for a city that will allow us access to 2 shields, a source of fish, and whales. However, once we started exploring north with our first Warrior, we found a humongous jungle (which we named the "Natylopa Jungle"), which still hasn't seem to end. In a goody hut, we got a Settler, and are now using to help explore (since getting out of that jungle will be a priority). Next, we plan on trying to find a way out of the jungle, building a few units, maybe a worker to help start clearing out the jungle, and explore of where we're at.

    First, switch the warrior to a worker. We NEED workers to clear the Banana Jungle to give more room for our banana plantations.

    Second, stop calling it Notylopa Jungle. It's Banana Jungle.

    Last, We should build a city at the mouth of the Banana River, so that we will have better defense, more trade, and a sea route for our bananas.

      If i'm not mistaken the city is defenseless now. So we need one warrior(also to stop riots).

        Blah blah blah, Banana this, Banana that. Call it what you want, when we were playing we named it the "Notylopa Jungle". If you don't like that name, then call it what you want, just don't tell us what not to call it.

        Building anything in the jungle will be a catastrophe if you ask me. First, it will generate... pretty much nothing. Very little commerce, no shields, very little food. That means further expansion is limited to our first city. This will put us at a great disadvantage... finding a good place for a city a few turns later will make up for the time lost searching for the location, if you ask me.

          We don't need another warrior now. There is no possibility of an attack from the sea. Our other warrior is exploring the only line of attack.

            Build a city 1 South of the Warrior. The borders will encompass the shield grassland. Build worker here first. Start clearing Jungle.

            End run, better second city. 1 tile of jungle cleared would give us the capital and a second settler factory. Will need lots of cities ASAP to overcome the jungle.

            Going too far from capitol will give corrupt pile of goo. Although, a capital jump at this point might be the best course of action, but could cripple us too.

            Jungle island anyone?

              Also, for the Jungle city, we could use the water until we get at least one Jungle tile deforested.

                The city will riot when it reaches pop 2(Emperor level). We need a warrior.

                    How many turns to cultural expansion? (whale is intelligent food)

                      1 turn. I guess things will go much faster once we use the whale.

                        Sure, you can build some nice improvements then!
                        What about the current build-queue then...
                        Are there some other build options now?

                            I would favor moving the settler 1 square north in hopes of capturing a grassland square, but even if this is not found starting the 2nd city on that spot. It is by a river so no aqueduct is needed and the jungle can be cleared quickly, 6 turns with 2 workers (industrious trait). Assuming our jungle city has no grassland we should build a worker after the warrior and send both workers to clear some jungle. Then build warrior, settler. In the long run, Jungle City will be a fine city. BTW, does this poor start makes early wars impractical?

                              Not as much as if we're on an island.
