Turn 23

[nbarclay]

Good point. If Ouch shadows Willy from the front and Hack shadows Tim from the front, we can keep tabs on their movement (at least as long as we don't get caught in a situation where we don't know what side they dodged to) and still have two warriors waiting when they get to a city - maybe even three if they try to attack one city with both warriors.

We may also want to let them know that our Book of Warriors is longer than theirs seems to be, just so they don't get the idea that seeing all these warriors out in the open means our cities are undefended. I'll leave that one up to the diplomats.

Re: the strength of our army: not at this moment. They should see this on our powergraph and F3 screen (BTW: screenshots of the powergraph would still be appreciated, as well as the power as indicated by the mil. advisor.)

We don't want to scare them either, not until they say something we don't like.

BTW: it may not be needed to sacrifice any growth on this extra warrior: we have plenty of time before we need him, even in the worst case. The only real problem here are barbs.

Someone can doublecheck me if they want to (and I may doublecheck myself tomorrow), but if I remember right, we'll end up wasting a turn of growth in Hurricane sooner or later no matter what we do. If we focus on growth, we'll hit size 2 at a time when EotS needs to work both irrigated furs, so Hurricane won't have enough 2-food tiles to go around. But if we delay growth a turn now, Hurricane will hit size 2 as EotS finishes its settler, and assuming EotS works three irrigated FPs and one irrigated fur after that, Hurricane can use the other irrigated fur to boost its growth.

If they've thought to look. And I'm not sure how much F3 will or won't give them; I was surprised at how little I can get from it in the Euro-PBEM game.

Turn made. Shots in a few minutes.

You did? Here I was, thinking my 'Strong military' would scare all of you *sniff sniff*

"Compared to them, we have an average military".

[Harovan]

F8 shows a strange edge in the Voxian development. I've sent it around. Comments, what this can be?

[Harovan]

Gah, silly me, it's just the difference in city growth.

Never mind.

Sir Ralph, that is just the growth. They settled their second city already, it seems.

Please provide one of power as well!

Powergraph sent.

[DeepO]

Oh, BTW, it isn't the growth difference, as that one comes 2 turns later. It's the difference in territory: we settled 1 turn later, so our territory also grows one turn later.
