An urgent matter !

The stack is E-E of dyes NE-NE of Gaia. It will arrive there in 2 turns then.

Edit : Aggie : I think Boston is because Washington was founded a short while ago. Except if Americans make a settler very soon in Chicago (pop 3), the Yanks have a very little chance to get it before the Persians or Greeks.

[OPD]

I think the Yanks will be/are building alot of setters as they have millitary and aren't building a wonder.

Also I haven't loaded up the game but I think we have a few workers SW,SW of Gaia which could slow the stack down. Especially if a ither units could deflect their path.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Yeah, build from Del Monte. We can build a Barracks there later.

If we build there in time, what would the Persian stack do?

[kring]

I support the settler build.

If the Persians do move the settler team back, it will still take fair amount of time for them to get them anywhere else.

[Harovan]

Yes, build a settler in Del Monte. It's by far the best solution. There's nothing more important than settlers in the early game. A barracks in a pretty corrupt city won't do much good. And I don't expect that we need it soon to heal troups. Our Archers are soon obsolete anyway.

[Inverse Icarus]

QUICK! DECLARE WAR ON PERSIA AND POPRUSH SWORDSMEN ALL AROUND...

i mean, sure. build the settler.

Godking :
Now that you're the city planner, what is your stance about this ? You are the one who gets to decide, and to get the thing done.

[adaMada]

Yea, GodKing, I think it's time for an "Emergency Resolution" or something .

We should build there , but we should also send a unit with it , just in case the Persians have any funny ideas .

[Shiber]

There's no chance they'll use the spearman they sent with the settler to attack our settler. They know their settler will fall as well when we counterattack.

Though I agree that defending the city once we have it is (obviously) important, I say go with the settler as soon as we've got it -- the Persians won't attack it with a settler/spearman stack, and I don't think any nation would attack the single settler/city 'just because' -- they're more likely to declare war on us for something else, and then attack that point as a weak point.

Basically, as long as we get protection there before too long, I think we're ok...

Agreed. Our city will be safe for a while from all except barbs. In Civ3 the AI seems to be a lot more for peace, that is unless there is some reason for hostility. We have not IIRC broken any treaties, we are not threatening in terms of size, and we have had no prior conflict with Persia or any allies they may have (ignoring America) - we are OK.

Indeed we should go , but as soon as we got a unit we should send it , and in the mean time we should build something there .
Otherwise its like an easy gift for the AI .

We can't wait until we can build a spearman to guard this town and as MWIA says it's very unlikely that any other civ will try to capture the settler.

hi ,

well we should send a unit out AFTER the settler is gone , or when the new town is build , as soon as we have a unit somewhere we should send it to our new town , ....

have a nice day
