Turn 8

[notyoueither]

I have it now.

[DeepO]

Fine... any discussion needed?

Not much.

Scores all 30, except Lux and us (25).

Labourer moved to fur tile. Warrior in 3. The Wheel in 14.

[notyoueither]

Sent Grog one more turn West (4). He sees sea, and desert to the NW.

Gronk moves 3. He sees sea as well.

[DeepO]

So it is most likely a peninsula... something both good ( defendability) and bad (need palace move for less corruption).

Shots taken. Sending turn.

The game seems to be moving along smoothly now, eh? Hopefully we can keep up this pace for a few more turns.

atw, I am getting errors that your mail is full so you are not getting the shots.

Hmm, thanks for the notice. Damn hotmail. Sigh. Ok, I've fixed that problem and can receive the next set when they come, no need to worry about resending me this turn.

1) Excellent, the game rolls on.

2) NYE, your comments on the debate brewing in the "current information" thread would be appreciated.

3) asleepathewheel, nice avatar.

Depending on the local geography that we discover in the next few turns, I believe we should seriously think about (and plan around) a Palace jump. As I mentioned in the 'Current Information' thread, a Barracks is probably not a good idea if we plan to disband the city at some later date.

That depends on what later date, and on how many units would be produced in between. A barracks and six veteran spearmen/WCs would provide comparable military value to eight regular spearmen/WCs for the same total cost in shields, so a barracks is probably not worth it if we build fewer units than that before the jump but probably is worth it if we build more. In any case, we can hope we'll determine whether a palace jump makes sense by the time our second settler is done.
