Before a war with the French we should explore a little farther North with a warrior. We might find some good land, and maybe another civ or another route to the French. This way we would be a little better prepared for a war with some decent cities and possibly chariots.

thats the current plan (mine at least). im sendign a warrior north in hopes of finding greener (unclaimed) pastures.

Good, mb we can pop a goody hut or 2 for techs if we find any.

hi , and we can put a city or two where he is now , for example one on the little peninsula , and an other where the French guy is now , ...

have a nice day

[Kingof the Apes]

If the French are also on a peninsula, and iit ends 3-4 tiles from where we see now that would be interesting.
we would have to quickly send up a settler to get a peacetime city if that is the case.

we're playing emperor. we have a one city (and a crappy city mind you) edge on the first AI we met, but you know in the next 10 turns they'll have 3 or 4 cities... it's how they play on emperor.

they wont just grow the usual emperor way, they'll grow even faster in comparison to our jungle ridden nation.

war is inevitable, and if i am to fight with archers, barracks are a must.

The AI does not grow any faster on emperor level than on any lower level. Generally I match their speed of expansion. Now I do agree that our jungle city will slow OUR expansion.

Uber does not need to worry (yet) that he will have no war to fight. If there are more civ's nearby they will attack us soon enough. Very likely they will attack together.

I do not think we should attack during ancient times. But if we do I would be impressed if it does not lead to our destruction and I would have learned a new tactic.

Franses, the AI needs 80% of the shields we need to build settlers, and 80% of the food we need to grow in pop points on Emperor. Thus, it grows with 100%/80% = 125% speed. Question answered?

Btw: The IE deputy Johnny plans to build more jungle cities . This empire needs one more productive city. If we don't get it, this game is lost.

Checked in the editor and you are indeed right. I thought the cost factor only applied to shields and research but it says growth also. Learned something again.

and to waste a pop point for a second worker instead to preserve it for a second settler can hardly be excused by a later good city site.

I agree, and am still uncertain why a worker was built.

[kring]

The second worker was built to speed up dealing with the Jungle, whether clearing it or roading, either way is very slow in jungle.

because the city planner and the public works minister are in cahoots (CTED)

[Kuciwalker]

If I am elected IE Minister, I promise not to support more jungle cities.

[Harovan]

That's a good promise, you have my support.
