    No...just last night, this situation popped 3 barbs I wasn't prepared for...I say it's better to pop with a military unit.

      That's been my experience, but I don't know if it's how it is or just good luck.

          If we can get both Warriors done before our border expands (and pops the goody hut), then I say explore... but that's unlikely, so I'm afraid we'll have to keep the 1st one at home... I'm not taking any chances like that in this game, even though I do in my own...

            You have about 8 or 9 turns (give or take) before your culture expands. 5 turns to build the first warrior, and 2 to explore, then one to get back between your city and the goody hut. So, take the warrior, use your two exploritory turns to hop from hill to hill, then move back to a defensive position.

            That's a smart compromise, yes?

              Trip IIRC the hut will pop upon founding the city. The hut is currently due S 1 square of the settler, so it wil fall in the 9-square city radius immediately upon founding, so it will be popped. I don't believe u can get barbs in this particular case since their would literally be no way to stop your city from getting ramsacked.

                Yes, it will pop upon founding the city.

                  Ahh, you're right... then I suggest exploring with him first then.

                  Hopefully we'll be lucky.

                    That's right! I suggest exploring toward the SE first. NW second. SW third. NE last.

                      I would say send the first one W. See Aeson's Scouting Thread for reasons why. After that depends completely upon what the first warrior sees.

                        We should head for the mountain to the relative west. That will give us a good overview of the land away from the coast.

                          Bingo.

                            I'll give this advice a shot. Okay, then I say the warrior should go west, and the second should head SE.

                              After second warrior we should build a granary and start pumping settlers.

                                What should we build AFTER our first warrior? Another one? Or a Spearman?
