I still say the city should be placed at the chokepoint first - this will secure our northend on the landmass from enemy ground expansion...and it's a perfect place in order to move ships from one side of the landmass to the other.

I'm with Eli on this one. Get a second city producing as fast as possible using the good stuff up north. Leave a warrior on the chokepont to keep the riff raff out, and consider it for a third or fourth site.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

OK I'm still playing the turn now.
We Have Made Contact!!!
So I was thinking our third city we should put in the chokepoint.Comment

Hi Diss - sent you a PM as well.
?? Who did we meet?
And yes - third city on the chokepoint. And the third warrior sits there until the settler arrives.
We will easily have a road down to there by then.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Gathering Storm
I have the warrior sitting on the chokepoint for now. Gathering Storm may not like it. I have not initiated diplomacy. Well I have but cancelled. It seems we can offer Bronze Working, so I guess they don't have it.
I tried to rename our second warrior to Thadeus, but his turn was finished and I had no idea how to do it.
Our settler comes out next turn.
If you wish to initiate e-mail with gathering storm we can better arrange our diplomacy in game.Comment

Will do.
I've not played an e-mail game before, so I'm not sure what you are seeing as the screen. According to the manual, we will need to put something on the table to start discussion,
Gathering Strom is Egypt - damn.
Could you please send the game save to me. I will play by the rules - promise - I just want to see what the diplomacy screens look like. Thanks,Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

OK, just load as a regular single player game. and put in the password.
Egypt shouldn't be a problem. Are those chariots attack 2? Same as horseman I believe. You just get them a little eariler. Their uu isn't that fearsome. They can be early though. Be luckily we already have bronze working.Comment
-
Over in the FA thread I will discuss trading options.
Egypt - damn. I was pulling for RolePlay/Spain.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Diss - muchos gracias!Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

we can offer gold- we have 32, and bronze working. That is it. It doesn't show the other team's assets.Comment

I agree - but that is not what worries me. The combo of industrious and religious builds a strong civilization. It is one of the favored civs, and for good reason. It is the civ that the single team demo game chose to play with as well.Originally posted by Dissident

So - yes - I agree wholeheartedly - bronze and iron then lets see who's boss.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Yup - I see what you mean - the screen is pretty straightforward - I'll start the discussion now in the FA thread - but my first re-action is that they will have nothing to trade with us - they start with Masonnry and C.Burial. We already have both of those. So - unless they picked up something from another civ - which is quite possible - this may be a simple shaking of hands.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense.

just checked. War chariots cost 20 compared to horseman's 30. So they are a very cheap build. A good rush unit. We'll have to watch that.
We already have masonry?
I'm so used to religous/military civs. I still have to get used to the persians.Comment

Know what you mean.
Incidentally - two other civs beside us started with Bronze Working - Lux Invicta (Ottomans) and Glory of War (China).Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment
