Turn 11

[notyoueither]

3500 is here.

All scores 30. Lux and us 27.

What's a city worth in points? Do you know that?
(having found a sttler is even worse I guess, well we'll notice in a few turns, won't we)
Allthough LI becoming the early top-dog might not be such a bad thing.

Warrior complete. Calling him Hack, until I am told to name him something else.

EotStorm borders expand next turn. Moving Grog and Gronk to take this into account.

Grog moves 8. Sees another hill with incense (8) and mountain on river (6-6). More grass to the NW peeks out from beneath the blanket of blackness.

Gronk moves 2. Sees 3 more grass (2 with shields).

Hack moves 6. Nothing revealed.

[notyoueither]

F11 does not reveal much new.

Lego pop 2, all others pop 1.

Turn being sent. Shots taken and being sent.

We would see an immediate uptick when they build a city. More than 1 point, I think. I will test.

I'm pretty sure they made contact with someone.

I see that the warmongers have changed their capitals name again. how nice. I wonder if they are going to do that the whole game.

It does prove , that it is confusing, and that at some point it is worth considering doing it ourselves

With both cities and units........

Units yes

cities, I don't know how useful it would be. Once we get their map, we will know what the cities are called, regardless of name changes. I suppose if we just have an embassy or spy, and thus the city list, it might be confusing, but I don't think it will really hinder us, do you?

units on the other hand, can be renamed to camoflauge strenght or weakness.

Looks like we're on a mid-sized peninsula. If that is correct, then it looks like militarily we are at a natural defensive and offensive advantage, having probably only 1 front to deal with.

I'm liking our start, not too shabby at all.

WAYYY better than NYE's start in the pbem...

(sorry to laugh NYE, I'm sure you may still catch up...who knows?)

I'm liking it as well.

Am also grateful that no one is playing the Vikings, though that would make it very entertaining, eh?

Definetely, that's a relief!

No offense taken, I think it's funny too. I am wondering just how funny. It may very well turn out to be an island. Actually, that would be the only salvation for that position... almost.

In another PBEM game I have a peninsular start. Playing Iroquois. Got a lot of tech from huts. Got horses, got horseback riding. Got a free settler out of the first hut... Me makem big war paint.

So it all evens out. btw, shhhhhh about the game I just described. We all know some of the other participants. The screaming shall start shortly.

[alva]

If it does turn out to be an island, at least it's a decent sized one.
It' s at least capable of holding a dozen city's, even without the undiscovered tiles.
We have lot's of different tiles, so we should have a decent to good chance of having most resources.
Wich should give us allways a fighting chance.....

The biggest drawback in being alone is tech
Not only for not being able to sell/trade it (same goes for the ample resources we have,but then again; chieftain ),
but tech will not
devaluate if we have no contact.

Great lighthouse anyone

(I know I'm jumping to conclusions here, propably way to premature )

If we would be alone, I wouldn't call our home ground an island, but a lone continent... it's big enough to support at least 10 cities, which should mean we are not in that bad a position Re: science. But, if exploring reveals our loniness, we should immediately go for literature.

I'm not convinced, though, the map looks like either a continents, or maybe even a panganea start (with lots of water), not archipelago. Although we do have a lot of luxuries.

Does anyone know how many luxuries of one type we should get on a standard map? So far, we have 9 lux of two types, which at least tells us our landmass is fairly big (2 types at least, islands typically only get 1), am I wrong in thinking that somewhere on our landmass we should find another patch, or lonely incense and fur?
