Moves Discussion Thread

I concur with Beta. There is no need to build a road at the future city site itself...and if the worker builds a road on the hills where our warrior is at, it will help our quick expansion southwards plus the worker will be guarded by the warrior, just in case GS gets antsy and does a surprise attack.

[Dis]

OK I took your advice about the worker. I have screenshots sent out.

We have made official contact with Lux Invicta. And we have discovered the borders of Gathering Storm. I knew we had to be getting close. They also have a 5th warrior visible.

[Wittlich]

Are we going to be pulling our 2 southern-most warrior back? Or see how much we can push them?

I believe that if we continue our southward advancement while keeping GS out of the northend of the landmass - They (GS) will get fed up and either kill our two warriors and/or push to claim the isthmus...

[Dis]

are we all agreed on moving our warriors north and cease southern exploration?

I just want to make sure. If Eli plays the turn remind him to turn the warriors north.

[Dis]

edit: that won't be necessary as Beta already sent out a message.

OK we have all but one vote on the tech trade. If they put up the trade next turn we should go ahead and put out Bronze working. We don't have to hit accept though. Just put it up and hit send. We can accept it the turn after.

[Wittlich]

Good point Dissident!

[Dis]

nothing too exciting this turn. Just put up Bronze working on the trade window. Moved the warriors north.

Still not sure what we want to do with our spearman. I moved one south for now. The other moved back onto the road.

I think the voice will grow to 3 before finishing the settler, but I don't think miller town will. But I have put him on settler anyways. We can change that later.

[Beta]

My suggestion for the spearmen - put one on the chokepoint. He will stay there when the city goes in. Move the other south to baby sit the worker, at least until GS moves out. His final destination would be the fish-wheat city site - if we are in agreement that that is where we want to go. And I presune the worker is extending the road south.

Also suggest that when the spearman gets to the chokepoint - at least one warrior heads back north. And eventually the second as well. They will be needed for those few turns of crowd control.

Re: Miller Town - depending on how close the growth and settler production match - I don't mind losing say one turn - but any more, I usually try and fit in a build that works. Another spearman? Would also be nice to get another worker out. We could certainly use some tile improvements (mines and roads).

With 59 gold, how's the slider looking. Will it help to accelerate research and lose a bit of gold for the next few turns?

I like Dissidents's idea about not accepting. We can say that we just accidentally click send before accept.

[Beta]

That may not even be a consideration - after reading GS' latest reply.

[Wittlich]

I agree Beta, I think we've stalled for as long as we can for the wheel-bronze trade. I say go ahead and accept. We will address the other tech trade at a future time.

[Dis]

yes we will accept next turn.

no change on the slider yet. The voice will grow to size 2 next turn, we will check it then.

2590BCE :

Trade deal accepted.
I wasnt sure about what to do with the Northern Spearman so I sent him back to The Voice.
Played with the slider. 20% sci is still optimal.
Both southern warriors were moved as neccessary.

Screenshots mailed to everyone.

[Dis]

I'm undecided on the spearman too . They are fairly mobile with the road, so it is not important for right now.

We need to decide what to do with our worker. I've heard to continue the road south and another suggestion to connect to the luxery. It is tempting to continue the road a few more squares south, but it would also be nice to have that luxery and not have to worry about riots anytime soon.
