Turn Updates:

[Donegeal]

I am not sure what GF did with our worker (we have to name him yet), but I think that we should start to think about what we are going to do with him in reguards to our settler that is going to be built in 7 turns.

(thanks for letting me use this graphic, GF )
Where should we build our next city?


I think we should start building a road or something toward where ever we are going to build our next city. That brings up another question: Is our next city going to be a fort or a Castle?
I think we originally wanted it to be a fort (on one of the yellow squares. I don't know if we can do that quiet yet. Both ND and Lux are annexing large areas away from their capitol and not doing the close city build that we talked about (I forgot what it was called). Land is quickly dissapearing. I believe we need to place warriors in key postions to claim land and work on getting sites C first (yes, I have changed my mind from B) and A.

Why?

Well, look at ND for a sec. Jungle to the south, mountains to the East, Ocean to the West. Lush grasslands to the north. Which way do you think ND is going to expand? I say we try to convince them that expanding to the East, past the mountians would be their best option. Tell them we would then be able to squash Lux between us. Us from the NW and them from the SW.

I am thinking, However, that building a fort inbetween city site A and C (two tiles N of Cwould be best. With cultural expansion, it would cover the land all the way to the ocean on one border, and butt up against both Lux and ND with its other borders. It would clearly mark our territory to the SW to both ND and Lux and leave a slim path between that Fort and Our capitol (one tile) that could be watched, blocked and covered by a single warrior. The biggest problem with this idea is I could see ND placing its next city one tile SE of site C (which would ruin site C). If we go with this plan, Plan Charlie Brown (a BLOCKhead... hehehehe) I think we send the worker south of where he is pictured (and protected as we have barbarians near Imperial City) and start on the road to connect the fort.

I've been operating under the plan to send the next one to B to claim those cows and then the second one to A to claim that Wine.

Then build the camps and start cranking out units for the Luxo-NeeDee War as I doubt we will be neutral.

I don't thing C is a good city site, I only recommend it to claim territory, if ND gets it then we'll take it from them later and that's one less city we have to build. The northernmost ND city is one I originally proposed and have not been concerned with it since I plan on taking it too. One more less settler we have to build.

ND is becoming more friendly with Roleplay and Lux is losing their enchantment with Roleplay.

ND has their UU available with Chivalry making them the earlier threat. If we can get Lux to help us take out ND before they get their UU, we will have our UU well before Lux and Roleplay.

Note Lux has not broken any treaty with us and didn't attack our capital when it was undefended. Of all the other teams Lux has been by far the most trustworthy and honorable. Far more so that Roleplay and ND.

About the graphics, Ghengis... Do you have a Wacom tablet or similar?

I would LOVE to have a Wacom tablet, but I must settle for using my mouse and keyboard.

I think ND is just joining up with RP in a hope to use them as an ally against Lux...or at a minimum not attack them.
ND is also looking at using us for the same reason.

It's true, ND does get their UU before Lux. Certainly a good reason to take them first.
I thought Lux would be a better target simply because they are closer to our capital, and we could use the iron.
This should be debated well in advance of us having to choose a side.

It may also be true, that Lux may be the most trustworthy and honorable at the moment, but let us not forget, they too are here to win the game. They will surely turn on us as soon as they get their Sapahi. We must be ready to turn on them (if needed) immediately after their war with ND when they are the most vulnerable.

We can take RP out whenever we feel like it.

Also remember...humans hold grudges. We may have to eliminate these teams out of the game all together. If we leave them land, they will surely turn on us later and/or offer ROP's to our enemies.

Just an update on our current position, I will post images tomorrow.

The capitol built a settler this turn and it is enroute to city site B with a Spearman escort. The capitol is size 2 and building another Spearman. Camp Cod is building a worker. I plan to merge the two Workers and Spearman and build a road to the Horse resource where one worker will build a colony and leave the Spearman to guard it.

Then the Veteran Horsemen will begin

We get our first glimspe of Vox's cultural border, the warrior will move south then southeast to the hill to get a better view, if anybody talks to Vox, let them know we can see their cultural area and are trying to make contact.

Borc has stated that Roleplay just founded another city, from his response it should be fairly close to ND. Seems they are following the same strategy as Lux, only Roleplay is hogging half the continent.

Sent Horseback Riding and 60 gold trade to Roleplay, we'll see if they honor their agreement.

We have a weak military complared Neu Demo, and average military compared to Roleplay, and a strong military compared to Lux.

I'm pretty sure Neu Demo completely quit building settlers and is simply building Swordsmen since they do not have their Horse resource hooked up, and Lux told me ND has an Iron resource next to one of their cities.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Roleplay refused to accept the deal we agree on, so I offer it again: Horseback Riding and 60 gold for Writing.

Panzer should get the pm from adaMada ready to show the other teams that Roleplay doesn't honor its treaties.

Should be one turn to contact with Vox.

Lux has to be stupid to settle where they are now.

Why would they want to piss off two neighbours at the same time ?

[Panzer32]

GF- what graphics are you using to get multiple people in a unit?

on topic: I wonder if Lux might settle there just because they can see we are going to settle on the hill... I hope they do. Thus, we have discovered one of the cities we are to capture, and it is on a bad defensible terrain.

[Hot_Enamel]

True....but its on their front line, so they will load it up with units.
Unless we get them by surprise.

What graphics?

Have you been hitting the booze a little early this morning?

Lux has just a settler ALL ALONE beneath our spearman/settler combo. I restrain myself from attacking as we have an active NA treaty with them. At least one team in this game is going to honor its treaties.


On the hill on the coast but no Vox unit to be seen.

[Hot_Enamel]

Is that a graphic error ???

The previous pic had that settler covered by a spearman.

What on BOB do they think they are doing ?
Was it an incorrect move ? (Using go-to)
Are they running away from ND's settler ????
Are they goading us into attacking ?

Stupid team !

I think they used goto and the settler moved automatically, or they were hoping that we wouldnt settle and move 1 tile further.
But why no spearman ?

Dont understand this.



Also, PM Vox, and tell them to put a unit where we can see it ASAP.....WE dont want to just hand around too long.
