Sounds like good time to do it.

[sooooo]

Our citizens are revolting!



The Zeviz plan was implemented, with the newly named Steve the Settler moving 1S. No interesting reports from our ladies in the field.

[Zeviz]

One more note on settler movement: Let's try to take the next turn after Templars in hope that their warrior will move away. (The later they find out about our planned city location, the better.)

EDIT: If Templars do see our settler, I suggest following adjustment to the plan: Southern warrior takes step NE. If it's safe, northern warrior and settler take step SE. This way, we will not be tempting Templars with a 50% shot at our Settler on the open ground. Sure, they are unlikely to decide to declare war on such a short notice, but I'd rather not offer the temptation.

The templars' quechua has been healing in that forest for a while; I don't think it will move next turn. It is 1.7/2.0 right now.

[Zeviz]

If it will continue healing for a few more turns, how about the following movement plan?

Next turn - southern warrior NE. If the coast is clear, settler takes a step SE to check if the coast is really clear. If it is, northern warrior E, settler joins warrior. (Otherwise, proceed with original plan.)
After that (if following modified plan) - northern warrior and settler S, southern warrio SW.
After that modified plan converges with initial plan.

This would allow us to sneak the settler past Templars without them seeing it.

EDIT: In the first part of my new plan, make the settler step first, because that step could still return to the original plan if settler sees danger, without the need to move southern warrior to more exposed terrain.

[sooooo]

Turn 40 played. Zeviz's revised plan followed. Archery finished, agriculture is the next tech.



This is my last turnset before I go away, so I'm passing the baton on. Perhaps the next turn player(s) could begin a new thread since this one has gotten pretty long.

The settler will be visible to the Quecha, once it joins the southern warrior on the hill.
Is this even part of the plan?

[Zeviz]

The plan is that next turn settler takes one step, accompanied by northern warrior, while the southern warrior takes a step SW. Then settler joins southern warrior on forested hill. So as long as the quecha doesn't move during this or next turn, we can have setter out of its visual range.

And I can start playing turns, since Epic 20 is over, so I can install the patch. However, if somebody else wants to do it, go ahead.

[ruff_hi]

sorry to be a nick pick - but where is our 2nd city going? Can someone stick an in-game sign on the tile?

[sunrise089]

Where the southern warrior is...the grassland hill Ruff.

[mostly-harmless]

I was under the impression we settle on the plain hills, 1S of the rice?

Oh...err, right M_H.

So much for making a super-quick answer

Correct. Just so there's absolutely no doubt, this is the tile we picked for the second city:



Enjoy your trip, sooooo! It's definitely a very happy occasion. For the game, just remember that we need someone (either Zeviz or Ruff) to log in and play our turns. I'll be away next week as well on vacation, so I can't jump in and take over. For better or worse.

[ruff_hi]

I'm more than happy for ZEVIZ to play them.

[Zeviz]

Note: Templar Quecha has moved next to our Warrior-Settler pair, so it will be better to move the settler 2 steps to meet the southern warrior on a hill. (If no animals threaten that position next turn.) I don't want to leave our 1st settler on an open ground next to a Quecha, protected by a single warrior. Incas are aggressive, so that Quecha will have better than 50/50 odds even at its current health of 1.9/2.
