Madrid founded.

[GodKing]

Well, we founded our capitol city, on the hills away from the ocean. I was interested in moving to the flat wooded land near the ocean (1 SE), so that some day we may build water craft and learn to fish. Unfortunately, many felt that the caves in the hills away from the ocean and the defense they provide was more important. I can understand, as I see the barbarians out there myself when I go hunting.

I tried to look into our future. Perhaps this is the right course to take. Only time will tell.

(PS, this is not be being spitefull, just rp is all. I was outvoted and the decision for this location is valid, just not what I would have choosen.)

[ThePlagueRat]

Would you have chosen one square SE, as I would?
(to have sea access)

Well, never mind... what is Madrid's building list?

[GodKing]

so far it is building a warrior, but our leader togas is expected to review the situation and change it as needed.

Science is on Bronze working

slider is set at 50% science, 50% tax (tech in IIRC 34 turns)

our worker is on the cow, and looking to start on a road next turn.

A better RP style analysis is being worked on and sould be posted soon (not by me, however).

[mrmitchell]

Me and Nuclear Winter I think are working together on a RP style analysis, I just PMed him mine, we will kind of merge the ones we have

[Ninot]

Glad to see the city is founded.

is the sav available anywhere?

[mrmitchell]

Ninot, if I were you I'd put my addy in the "Email Addresses" or whatever it is thread and ask for the save, or email/PM/something someone from the chat for it. (I know Senor Dejon has it)

[Togas]

I'm here. Who do I need to contact to get the save emailed to me?

Also, GK, can you give us a screen shot of the first screen and Madrid?

This is splendid, though for business purposes, the city would have been better suited right on the water, saving us a trip over roads to take our squids into the city.

Remember, if you want to, please do write a post for the Chronicles of Iberia thread. It can be short, but please do put in something for as many turns as you can. I don't want to see this become like the fallen history of the Democracy Game of Civ3.

Somebody is going to have to tell me in simple language how to get to the chat room so I can participate. I’ve never really been in a chat before. You can tell I’m a dinosaur

I would have voted for the forest square between the two hills next to the cow so we could have gotten access to the sea, but I see the point about defence. At least we will eventually have access to the wheat.

[History Guy]

Perhaps soon we may occupy a coastal position. Indeed, we must for the sake of trade. Then, the squid business will truly thrive...

Please, remember the Chronicles of Iberia!!

[Ninot]

so... where can the Governor of Madrid get a SAV to observe his city?

[pikesfan]

The teams who chose red and blood-red as their colours should have had a contrasting colour forced on one of them preferably hot pink How are we supposed to tell Vox and Lux apart?

So is this the beginning of the Togas Dynasty? I don’t want to put it in the official chronicle yet in case people don’t like the idea.

Such as

4126 - 4000 BC Togas I, who led the battle against Alaric the Visigoth
4000 - 3982 BC Togas II, who founded Madrid
3982 - 3960 BC Togoran I, who didn’t do much
3960 - 39XX BC Togas III, who gave the orders for Turn 2 (3960 BC)

I have to make up more placeholder names for the obscure Despots who rule between turns and don’t get to do much of anything. We can’t have everyone named Togas Then maybe I need a random number generator for length of reigns.

I’m glad we are reasonably near the sea. I’ve heard that desert squid and arctic squid don’t taste very good and are difficult to prepare.

if it can be irrigated and that is our intention, I suggest irrigating first. If you do the math, irrigating first (and switching immediately from the forest bonus tile to utilize the cow tile) and roading second would result in a population growth in 9 turns instead of growth in 10.

IF it can be irrigated...
I cannot tell from the screenshot and with the hills involved if irrigating will be possible.

any thoughts?
