I think I have tainted this turn enough already.......

Got it. I'll move to the red dot.

Here's the world so far:

A few comments:

• I'm new to pitboss games, so many of you probably already know this, but it appears that whatever we have the game titled in our personal BTS menu will automatically change the team name as soon as we log in. I had no intention of changing the team title, yet it did anyway. Is there a certain name we wish to stick too? If so, anyone who logs in needs to have that specified name as the name on their own personal computer.
• Two of the four teams who have completed their turn settled in place and the other two didn't. Two teams haven't completed their turn and there's 4.5 hours left.
• I understand the snafu, but that really puts a crimp in things. I'd rather not waste another turn, so we might as well settle in place. Prior to this, I was torn between fed's and femme's spot. Looks like we'll meet in the middle instead.
• Even if the hut pops a warrior, I'm still tempted to build another one for the additional defense.
• The scout should head straight for the other hut. I hate not to check out the south, but neither do I want to lose the hut either.
• Regarding the RB response, I don't feel they need to know who we are. They can just wait and figure it out later.

  Make that two settled, three didn't, one team to play, and one team eliminated.......Unfortunately one of the teams to settle were Templars (Inca) who may well have gone for a religion so they are 1 turn up already. The other, Imperio (Maya), have yet to play......

  Next unit can look south

I still say we go for Fed's spot.

Red Square? Don't like the sound of that.

Well - if we had gone with my choice of leader....



Caerbannog sort of makes sense for our capital's name to me.

If we do settle this turn - build a warrior - scout goes hut poppin - not south - Monotheism for first tech.

I'll start back to front:

3) There are 3 teams starting with mysticism and the other 2 are both financial so will potentially have more commerce to put towards research. For this reason I think we should let those 2 fight it out and we can sneak up later either through Monotheism or by building the Oracle and taking Code of Laws.

So my suggestion for first tech would be Fishing

And if the other teams are thinking the same?



Seriously though - FeMme puts forward a very valid line of thought.

I guess it is wether we want to take the gamble or not.

Oracle & CofL is a definate option.

5 minutes to turnover...

It looks like the Templars take their haste in getting a religion. They have settled, and have the financial trait. The other financial civ with Mysticism (RealmsBeyond - Maya) are wandering around like us.

I still advocate the spot the settler is now on for settling.
Name of the city: Caerbannog Burrow.
First tech: Polytheism or Fishing.
First production: Scout.

[Nugog]

It is more likely that the other two teams with Myst will go for Polytheism as it offers better future options (in the short term).

We already have a scout - and this map will be crowded by the looks of it - Warrior is a better option IMO.

And I still favour Fed's spot.

Go over to the next thread. This one is obselete now.

[Kiwallabok]

i say we build the city on the tile directly above the wheat,

This is fun.

Rob, don't get too down because of the mistake, we all make em and they just make our eventual victory more impressive.

I have no concerns with you moving for the team btw.

[Nugog]

Could be worse - he could have posted our secret plans in the general forum instead of the private one.......

[Zoid]

Do we have a secret plan apart from multiply and conquer?
