Turn 68 - 1280 BC

[GeoModder]

Here we are again.

Caerbannog is into seastuff (lighthouse), with a settler awaiting his gear in the queue.
The worker in the screenshot should be done with the mine next turn, I'll plan to sent him to the south of Caerbannog for chopping a forest where the next settler should found a warren (to have the Moia Statues ASAP somewhere).
The Axeman (name proposals?) is onto the barbarian trail.
O yes, since the screenshot was taken I switched citizens so that the lighthouse will finish in 5 turns, not 7. Our research slowed down by a turn or two because of this though. Main reason is that growing Caerbannog without a garrison in it will cause , so there's no point in letting the city grow.

Diggers Burrow...

... has started a galley. Once its off more axes will find their way out the barracks...
The axeman in the picture protects 2 workers busy constructing a road to Aachen.

[GeoModder]

Aachen...

... does nothing but building that cursed Monument according to UnO.
Next turn the city grows so construction will go a bit faster.

[GeoModder]

Thumper...

... has scared off his barbarian counterpart, and continued on his scouting foray into barbarian lands.

ToDo's, Proposals and Foreign Info

Nothing to do actually. The moves have been done. Production outlines can be changed if enough people object.

No short-term proposals either, the battle preparations have been set in motion.

PaL is still on 0% , 412 turns before Alphabet is finished.
Banana is still not reacting to our program. If this stays so we should have visuals on their research somewhere around 5 turns from now.

Great work Geo!!!

Axeman name - Nasty Nibbles

After the galley, DB should alternate between axmen and spearmen until we can start building horse archers. PAL's UU is War Chariots which will chew up axmen.

I advocate Monarchy so we can complete the trade with PAL as soon as possible. Or to put it another way. I don't want to wait any longer after they have alphabet to get it from them

I sent my message to PAL via PM to Whiplash. I haven't heard back. Has anyone else?

Should the next settler stay close or push the frontier? I think maybe expand along the frontier with PAL. If we take out the barbarian city, we could settle 2 of the cow.

[GeoModder]

There's an opportunity in settling near the present barbarian city once its razed. We can construct a galley there to push for the other continent.

Chuckman, I changed the production in DB to an axe after confirming TheViking's concern.

Nasty Nibbles it is.

Btw, we still have another nameless axeman.

O yes, I named our third worker Doe's Toiler.
And since we only have one Doe in this team, we all know who's refered to, don't we?

[Lancer]

I want to live in Digger's Burrow. They got copper for tools and Beef for supper. Aachen will be nice too when it gets sheep.

Oh, names erm... Leave it to Cleaver.

[UnOrthOdOx]

OOOO free city!

[GeoModder]

You mean the barb one? It's on a bad spot in my book. But if big enough it will give us a free worker.

Worker?

Explain...(new addition to BTS?)

[Kiwallabok]

could our warrior take out that barb city?

axeman name: smiter??

[GeoModder]

The game is up again, Snoopy has completed his computer maintenance.

@UnO: somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that if a barb city was taken, razed and was big enough, a free worker is given to the conqueror.

@Kiwallabook: depends how's it defended, but I doubt it. I merely sent him out for luring that barb warrior into combat and scouting the barb city if possible from a safe position.
