Turn 20 - 3200BC

[RobWorham]

Dandelion's first half was somewhat less adventurous...........

[RobWorham]

I think, once we've had out half time oranges that :

Buttercup : 1 or 9 (probably 1)

Dandelion : 2

Did the scout pop a barb? I though this was impossible.
Agree with Dandelion move; but Buttercup perhaps better
promote combat I (is on the line of any promotions way)
and move 8 to the hills, for some defensive help and scouting
(remember he can be attacked by other animal).
Best regards,

AFAIK it is impossible. What I think happened here is that the lion moved there at the start of the turn before Rob logged in.

Buttercup can't be promoted this turn. Remember, promotions are only available the turn after the necessary amount of xp is acquired.

My thoughts :

Thumper : promo to Combat I and heal

Dandelion : 1-2

Buttercup : 7-8

[GeoModder]

Buttercup received 6 xp, so he can be promoted twice.
We could promote him to guerilla II, Forest II, Combat II or for instance a mix of combat I + Medic I for quicker healing and stack medic during wartime.

Buttercup 9 (Promo Woods I & II)

Danedelion 2

[RobWorham]

OK, I've moved Dandelion 2 - not much to report.......

Still waiting on some more input for Buttercup........

Will play in 8 hours if no more suggestions forthcoming.........

Agree

The double movement through woods is very helpful at this early exploring stage. It may mean the difference in getting to a hut before another civ. Also at Woods II, Buttercup in a woods hex could only really be threatened by bears. Until we advance beyond barbarian animals.

[GeoModder]

You know, if further along the road we upgrade our scouts to explorers, the woods II (or even guerilla II) promotions wouldn't be so useful anymore. Explorers have double move anyway, regardless of the terraintype. Medic promotion OTOH is always useful. Quicker healing when surviving an attack, and as field medic for a stack of war.

But Explorers are a long way away yet...
