The forested stone square will not be in our city radius for 5 turns after settling. Also, we cannot work water squares until we research Fishing.

Darn, me and my habit of playing with fishy civs.

While the south site is better, to lose more one turn...
Research Fishing.
Build warrior.
Scout 17, unless city shows something new.
Best regards,

It appears we agree on settling in place, so should we go ahead and settle so we can discuss where to move the scout?

[Lancer]

Settle! has my vote

This is history

[theViking]

Settle.

[Zoid]

Settle!
Scout 7-1
Fishing
Warrior

[Kiwallabok]

lets settle then

[Dave_Shack]

Caerbannog settled. Turns out we would have benefitted a little from going 6 and settling where the blue circle was, though it's a tossup whether it would have been truly an improvement or not. There is another fish out there.

The coast heads off towards the NE.

Research was set to Fishing, and production to Warrior. Both can be changed any time, but nothing was revealed that would suggest we should.

Now for the big news: popping the hut yielded


A scout!

So now we need to decide on paths for both scouts.

Proposed scout names :

Dandelion (2-2 of Caerbannog)

Buttercup (6 of Caerbannog)

Proposed moves :

Dandelion : 7-1 - head to other hut.....

Buttercup : 7 - head NE.......

Looks like I got my wish. A scout!

Proposed scout names:
Bran (the oldest) and Farrell (the new one), al proud followers of the Great Caerbannog.

Let Bran go as planned to 7-->1 with a follow up to the coastal plain hill the turn after, and let Farrell become acquinted with the towngirls before moving to 7 of the towns spot.
I don't know about you guys, but do you really want those girls move in the woods for meeting up with Farrell?

Scout names? Naming units? What witchery is this?

In any case, we should pick a tech before end of turn -- I favor Fishing though Polytheism has its advantages -- but at the moment I'd rather not bank too much on it. We can get it, then Monotheism after Fishing, since we'll want Masonry for the stone anyway. And early Fishing guarantees us an early food source which is fairly crucial.

I favor building the warrior as well, not because we really need a warrior this early but because it'll be done with quick, we'll have fishing, and we can build work boats after that.

Trust us - it will make things much easier as we go along.
